MIMS is excited to debut "La Número Uno", which sees El Palmas mainstay, El Dragón Criollo, blending zouk, champeta and reggae into his very own Colombian stew.

'Hot as the earth', "La Número Uno" is dedicated to love and the dancefloor. An expression movement and la fiesta, and a love in El Dragón Criollo's heart for four women. 

Stoking the fires of the song's own heart, you song contains many classic elements of champeta and Panamanian reggae from the 90s, including some classic samples and the distinctive Casio SK-5. The soundtrack to many a local rumba party.

Geneva-based El Dragón Criollo, aka Paulo Olarte, is also a member of El Palmas affiliates Acid Coco, El Contento and La Jungla, and his selections can be heard alongside label boss Maurice Aymard on El Palmas' two volumes of hidden Venezuelan gems, 'Color De Trópico',

 "La Número Uno" is released on July 9th on El Palmas. Pre-save it on the link above.

Baba Commandant & The Mandingo Band hail from Ouagadougou, the capital of landlocked African nation Burkina Faso. Fans of modern afrobeat need to look no further. Influenced by the likes of Fela Kuti, King Sunny Adé and Moussa Doumbia, Baba Commandant plays an instrument associated with traditional Donso hunters, a six string harp called the donso n'goni. Largely reserved for traditional gatherings and celebrations, this is one of the rare times the instrument has been used in modern recordings. Baba Commandant, whose real name is Sanou Mamadou, merges his various inspirations on the album from Nigerian afrobeat to Malian blues to dub and even to some heavier punk influences.

Following up on the release of the band's 2014 album "Juguya", Paris-based Mawimbi, a French label and DJ crew who focus on Afro-influenced electronic music, are re-releasing one of the singles from the album, Wasso, with a fresh mixdown and several remixes as well. Our premiere today comes from Toulouse-based producer Mr. Boom (soundcloud) who gives us two different renditions of the original, the afro mix and the broken mix, the latter of which particularly caught our ear. Giving the cut a bit of a more modern, electronic twist, Mr. Boom chooses the grooviest parts of the original, stripping it down while at the same time adding his own percussion with a syncopated rhythm to the composition. The end result? A contemporary crossover tune that's bound to find its way into the record bags of many a DJ.

TPS 027 - Selections by Melody Nelson

'Skies Reprise' closes off the EP with a beat less take on the original. The melodies given more space for a sonic equivalent of open air swaying under hazy pink skies.

Joe Morris - Skies Reprise

Founded in 2018 by dj and producer Deni-Shain – the man behind acclaimed compilations Space Echo and Pop Makossa -, Atangana Records is the logical follow-up to more than 20 years of travel, constantly on the look out for new artists and music around the world. As a « tropicalist globetrotter », in this new project Deni-Shain, in partnership with Thomas Vicente, co-owner of the french restaurant Le Verre Volé aims to dig, reproduce & transmit cross-cultural music, usually unreachable and/or less known by the public.
The goal is simple : to share the love of music and to rediscover the pleasure of voicings, percussions and sadly forgotten harmonies, whether you find yourself in a jam packed club or the intimacy of your home.
Atangana’s first releases will be looking at the Caribbean’s Islands, especially into Haiti with the reissue (on may 4th) – highly expected by various diggers – of the acclaimed single « Divizion » by singer Fedia Laguerre. Originally released in 1981, this first 12" will come with a Voilaaa remix and an instrumental cut exclusively based on the additional work by the french afro collective.

http://soundwayrecords.com/buy/asafo-enye-woa/

Soundway presents the first in a new series of 12” releases aimed at making available hard-to-find and in-demand dancefloor tracks on loud DJ-friendly pressings.
These two late 1980s Ghanaian highlife cuts are taken from the catalogue of Nakasi Records. Nakasi was run by the late producer Nana Asiedu (Big Joe) - a well-known figure in the Ghanaian and African music community of 1980s London. 

The A-side showcases a track from Jon K's second solo album, which was a re-working of a traditional Fanti language Asafo company song Asafo Beesuon. Made famous by C.K.Mann on his seminal album ‘Funky Highlife’, this version very much reflects the more westernised late 1980s sound of highlife music recorded in the UK, Holland, Canada and Germany for both ex-pat Ghanaian audiences and those back home in West Africa. 

The album features the stalwart session musician Alfred Bannerman, the go-to Ghanaian guitarist known for the classic cut of ‘Let Me Love You’ by Bunny Mack, among many other tracks over the last 40 years, including his work on contemporary releases for Soundway such as Konkoma and Ibibio Sound Machine.

On the B-side, Pat Thomas (the brother in-law of Big Joe) needs little introduction having been touring the world extensively in recent years with the Kwashibu Area Band. Somehow this dancefloor-heavy cut has eluded recent compilations and reissues. With horns arranged by long time friend and collaborator Ebo Taylor, it's an instantly recognisable sound that also features Rex Gyamfi - himself a well-known purveyor of 1980s 'burger-highlife'.

The sixth edition of the Sterns Edits series sees label head @bengomori and rising star @tomjaymusic tackle two big tracks by Malian singer Nahawa Doumbia.

Hailing from the Wassoulou region of Mali — which has produced many other stars, not least Oumou Sangaré — Nahawa has been a significant force since the late 1980s, when Sterns Africa first combined and released the Syllart-produced albums 'Didadi' and 'Nyama Toutou'. It is from these albums that Gomori has picked two of the biggest, most joyous tracks for he and Jay to work on.

'Sigi Sele' soars with its rousing horn section and Doumbia's impassioned vocal, and makes for excellent dancefloor material. Gomori's main edit keeps the majority of the original intact, chunking it up gently in all the necessary places. His Disco Dub edit hones in on the guitars and trumpets for something more groove-oriented. Tom Jay's rework of 'Djina Mousso' is similarly respectful, coaxing it onto the contemporary house music dancefloor with the minimum of fuss or excess.
