B2B006: DJ Kappa Wam - Alkebulan Son EP [Part 2]

Alkebulan is the ancestral name for ‘Africa’ and was used for
thousands of years before European colonization.

This EP is dedicated to the ancestral spirit of ‘Africa’ - the mother of
mankind.

Kappa Wam returns to 2022 with work developed over the past
year. The goal of this selection of tracks was to capture a new African spirit that can be identified by the underlying percussive rhythms of Mzansi (South Africa).

Drenched in slow house grooves and warm melodic textures, DJ Kappa Wam takes us on a journey of a newly developed African sound with European influences in the mix.

With a diverse cultural background like Kappa Wam himself, the sound pushes this very idea of a global throw-together of dance music.

Mixing an array of world Instruments like the African Djembe, the
Indonesian Gamelan, the Indian Tabla along with modern synthesizers and its contemporary partners. DJ Kappa Wam captures a world sound, blending organic textures with electronic dance elements to bring listeners a fresh taste of a new dance music formula.

Mxshi Mo’s next single ‘African Technology’, comes as another collaboration this time with South London DJ and producer Hagan. The 2-track EP incorporates a darker blend of Gqom & Amapiano coupled with light melodic synths.

Mxshi Mo X Hagan - African Technology

Bristol collective Club Djembe will launch their label with a compilation EP next month. Hear Atlanta artist Say3's rhythmic fusions, inspired by the varied sounds of afro-diasporic genres, on 'Get Up and Move'

Premiere: Say3 'Get Up And Move'

Anderson MidNite - Soul People

The label’s inaugural release – Club Djembe Vol. 1 – was a five track mini-compilation featuring KG, Bamz, Say3, DJ Polo & Lobby, and Dean Lyon. The second release introduced Colombian-via-London producer and DJ duo CXLI to the fold for a four-track solo EP.
For the third release and second instalment of the compilation series – Club Djembe Vol. 2 – the crew have brought together another group of their favourite artists and influences: from long-time label inspiration Hagan, LA mainstay Bianca Oblivion, and prolific London radio spinner DJ Tess, to local Bristol heroes DJ Polo, Wilfy D and RnB vocalist Pariah.
DJ Polo opens the compilation with the swerving funky house of Doldrums, easy chord stabs darting between taut drums. Following on from his recent EP on Jamz Supernova’s Future Bounce label, Hagan hits full producer-virtuoso stride with his contribution, Splash, which rolls from a lean-back bass groove into chords that’ll be sure to melt through even the tightest lockdown tension. Wilfy D enlists Leeds-born, Bristol-raised singer-songwriter Pariah for Victory, a stunning call-back to the golden age of UK funky vocal bangers.
Bianca Oblivion’s Calling takes the compilation from the socially distanced cook-out to the harder territory of the 2am live-stream, melding the saturated stomps of dutch bubbling house with a hypnotic vocal hook. DJ Tess finishes the release on a ravey high, carving a dextrous triplet-snare hook out of a stadium-sized intro with Veleno.
