Rocky Marsiano (@rockymarsiano) is the brainchild of Lisbon hip hop veteran D-Mars, the result of his passion for MPC head bobbin' beats, as well as Lusophone classics from Angola, Cape Verde and Mozambique, which permeate the streets he grew up on in Lisbon.

"Esse Mambo" samples one of the greatest Angolan recording artists of all times, Bonga, and is a perfect introduction to Rocky Marsiano's playfully hybrid sound. "Both Angola 72 and Angola 74 are classic records from Angola. All the songs on both albums are just great: so much depth and rhythmical vibes"

Marsiano manages to tastefully expand the vibes of this classic record, as he does on the rest of his Meu Kamba project, which comes out online September 23.

Most fans of the blues believe it was born in the Mississippi delta shortly before 1900. They are definitevely wrong.The blues had its roots in other forms of older black music that are traced to the music of West Africa. In that sense, Mali music constituting the DNA of the blues and the griots can be identified as the direct ancestors of the rural bluesmen.Baba Sissoko is from Mali and he is the last undisputed griot alive.His voice evokes the lost vibe of the deepest and wildest side of west Africa. A magic land that he largely crossed since his childhood in singing and playing with his legendary grandfather Djeli Baba Sissoko. 

With the help of the soulful voices of Djeli Mah  Damba Koroba  and Djana Sissoko, respectively his 78 y.o. mother and his young daughter he recorded  “Three Gees”.

They are the voices of the past, the present and the future living in the twilight zone where the malian roots blooms into a new sound of hope and happiness.

Involved are also Fernando "Bugaloo" Velez on percussions and the grammy winner Corey Harris on slide guitar.

Somebody called it as Bambara Mystic Soul, we dig it and really hope you enjoy listening this album as much as we have enjoyed making it.

Since its inception in 2013, Mawimbi founders have been expanding their knowledge of lesser known and rather undiscovered musical territories thanks to chance encounters with likeminded DJs/producers, who were kind enough to put them onto a good amount of under-the-radar tropical gems.

Launched in 2017 and named after Mawimbi's bi-monthly radio show on Rinse France, the "Radio Mawimbi" compilation series is dedicated to unearthing vintage tropical gems in the form of free download edits and remixes by some of the most seasoned diggers and promising rookies of the tropical-enthusiast community!

From deep, drum-heavy workouts to essential Guinea Bissau melancholy, through remixed Beninese afrofunk and vintage South African kwaito, this second installment features the editing and remixing works of Yeahman (Frente Bolivarista), LSD (Love Saves The Day), Déni Shain (Analog Africa), Umoja, Mawimbi, ATW (Around The World), Calisto, Turbo Boom-Boom (TBB) and Midnight Ravers.

DEEWEE029 'ZANDOLI' EP by Charlotte Adigéry is out now on DEEWEE. You can order the 12" and full digital EP here: smarturl.it/Zandoli

The Belgian-Caribbean artist proves herself to be a consummate storyteller. Sometimes patently silly, sometimes deeply introspective, Adigéry’s ever-wandering mind spins tales that are absurd and poignant and ridiculously fun. In the studio Adigéry is joined by known DEEWEE collaborator Bolis Pupul, a descendant of the first and only wave of Chinese immigration to Martinique. After matching on Tinder the pair began to explore their shared histories, resulting in heart-to-heart confessions that seep through the songs of Zandoli.

CHARLOTTE ADIGÉRY 'OKASHI' DEEWEE029

Remix ←→ Culture

A fresh new take on traditional Gnawa music that honors the soul of the sound, this remix of Innov Gnawa's "Bangara" is not your typical Western remix of African music.

A chance encounter with a Touareg dancer in 2013 led Greek producer AkizzBeatzz to discover the music of North Africa, sparking his passion for Gnawa (a pan-African Sufi ritualistic trance tradition that arose from the shadows of slavery in Morocco), which he has continued to study and explore since. 

When AkizzBeatzz came across Remix ←→ Culture's unique Gnawa recordings and remixable sonic offerings (remix-culture.org/innov-gnawa), he jumped at the invitation to download (for free) and remix our high-quality samples. Once his track was ready, AkizzBeatzz approached Remix ←→ Culture for a license to commercially release this remix, in accordance with Remix ←→ Culture's fair trade economic model, which splits net proceeds evenly between all co-creators (AkizzBeatzz, Remix ←→ Culture, and Innov Gnawa). 

For just $1 you can get your hypnotic groove on *and* invest in a new fair trade ecosystem.

West African Rhythm Brothers ‎– Ominira (Oriental Tropical Edit)

Atropolis represents a sonic city of transcultural boom. A native of New York, his blood blends the village heat of Cyprus, the lore of Northern Europe, and the mysticism of the Maori. Stirring with a degree in composition, Atropolis mixes trained expression in classical piano and jazz guitar in a pot of ethnomusicology. His alchemical fusion transcends over dance floors, grounding ears in the rhythms of their global body.
