Description: big tunes for those who just missed death

Big big thanks to Mario Swagga + DJ Silila for providing an instrumental Singeli mix for this show! Some words from them:

'Coming from the informal settlements of Kiwalani, Dar es Salaam Mario Swagga and DJ Silila's music captures the restless energy of young people in this growing metropolis. Mario Swagga and DJ Silila started performing at street parties in Kiwalani in 2009. By 2010 they were performing across Dar es Salaam. Mario received his name from crowds in Dar es Salaam because on stage he possessed some of the same confidence, attitude and swagger as Mario Balloteli. As their reputation grew they began to perform at events organized by Clouds FM and Mario was in 2016 crowned the number one Singeli singer in Dar es Salaam at Fiesta Singeri Michano. Mario's name has gone on to spread across the city and is now ready to travel even further afield.

This set was recorded in the on room living space with also doubles as DJ Silila's studio. DJ Silila has a truly distinctive and original sound which combines an Afro-Punk aesthetic, with driving drums and sample snippets. This set is a rare opportunity to hear Singeli as it is created at parties in Dar es Salaam's informal settlements.The frantic sound of Singeli is perhaps closest to early jungle but has a uniquely African aesthetic.'

(another near death experience to) kick me into gear

The "taarab" music of East Africa's Swahili coast offers an amazing history lesson. Bantu and coastal Africans, Arabs, Portuguese, Germans, Brits, and Indians all figure in. With guest, anthropologist and author, Kelly Askew, this Hip Deep program explores the taarab music of Zanzibar, Dar es Salaam, Tanga, and Mombasa, Kenya. The show features rare recordings by the likes of taarab pioneer Siti Bint Saad, groups Babloom Modern Taarab and Tanzania One Theatre, and Afropop's own recordings of Culture Musical Club of Zanzibar and Maulidi Musical Party of Mombasa. Produced by Banning Eyre.

Further Information: bleep.com/features/bleep-mix-161-jurango

Bristolian DJ and producer Jurango aka Nathan Reece delivers a high octane Bleep mix. His dedicated appreciation for complex rhythm makes for a tasty thread throughout the runtime, a tacit understanding that each of his selections — picked from a wide pool of styles — hold a common strand of DNA. The anti-colonial, anti-racist fury of some doubled-up Sankara Future Dub Resurgence bangers echoes across the extra-musical electronic conceptualism of Aho Ssan’s ‘Simulacrum III’ and deep into the bpm-crunching riddim of Kuenta i Tambú & Wiwek’s ‘Dem A Call It Tambú’.

"The mix is a bit of an extension of a worldwide sharing of ideas best described in the link below - defo have a read ! Packed full of afrofuturistic voices, it touches a few different sounds + feelings from the challenging and introspective as well as a bit of a party  

Has been road tested for apprehension + dystopia via a night walk through a dormant city and can confirm both are abundantly present. TW: topics of colonialism + systemic racism.
