Classic Bass driven electronica from The Beekeepers project aka Parker and Boca 45. Taken from the new Jalapeno Bass compilation. Check out the tracklist here: snd.sc/14NAezZ

The Beekeepers - Spring Forward

Ibibio Sound Machine are set to release their debut LP through Soundway Records. Fronted by British / Nigerian vocalist Eno Williams, they combine elements of West African highlife, disco, post-punk & psychedelic electro soul. Preceded by the pulsating first single 'Let's Dance', ‘Ibibio Sound Machine’ will be released 17th March.

Folk stories, recounted to Eno by her family as a child in her mother's South-Eastern Nigerian Ibibio language form the creative lyrical fabric of the album. A large dose of electronic elements and an approach as influenced by London as much as by West Africa, give the vocals and guitar lines space to breath without being overwhelmed.

From the banging sub-bass of 'Lets Dance' to the spiritual, gospel-tinged notes of the album's opening track 'Voice of the Bird', the band have turned in a dynamic and, at times, beautiful take on modern afro-soul music.

The 8-piece live band made their official live debut at this year's Transmusicales in France and will be a name to look out for in 2014.

Lyrics:

Your eyes, they did flutter again
And your mouth it did hang wide
When you told me 'every little thing is going to be alright'

But we were younger then,
And now we're not
And if there was a plan made 
Then we forgot about it 
And if there was time
I could figure it out now

But life is short
And I don't care for most of it. 


Because you're all that I want.


Well I know I'm hard to take
And my bones are calling out your name.
While I beat your cold windows
Break the locks on the gate
While I try to forget 
I used to be something great. 

Because you're all that I want.

All I Want

An edit I did of The track Kuar. I took out the english speaking parts and kept it very ethnic and tribal. Works much better in my opinion.

Against The Storm Episode 1

BUFF GYAL RIDDIM

In anticipation of the forthcoming Kenya Special: Selected East African Recordings from the 1970s and '80s compilation, Soundway release a special remix and edit 12" featuring two tracks from the collection and two exclusives. 

The A side kicks off with Batida's remix of a 1977 benga 45 (Ndiri Ndanogio Niwe) from the Mbiri Young Stars.  Fast 120bpm plus 4/4 rhythms with liquid guitars and machine-gun drumming are married with kuduro drum programming. Second up and surging with sub bass, British production duo The Busy Twist inject The Kalambya Boys' Kivelenge (also from 1977) with a slice of London club culture. Many late 70s Kenyan benga 45s were cut loud and heavy with often ludicrous amounts of low end squeezed onto sides that technically shouldn’t have exceeded three-and-a-half mins but frequently topped five. Perfect fodder for remixes these cuts were way ahead of their time production-wise and sound even more amazing considering the limited equipment Kenyan engineers had at their disposal in the late '70s.

On the flip Sofrito's Frankie Francis subtly tweaks a sublime Nairobi Matata Jazz track from the mid '70s: focusing on the wobbly guitar lines and letting the blaring horns speak for themselves. Consisting of both Kenyan and Congolese musicians Nairobi Matata Jazz were a perfect example of how rumba from Congo (which consumed East Africa in the 1970s) was blended with rat-a-tat-tat benga style Kenyan drum patterns and Swahili language vocals. These same rhythms are in full effect on the last track by the Gatanga Boys Band, edited and chopped up by Hide and Smile (Frankie Francis and Miles Cleret) - super fast instrumental benga guitar and drum interplay, heavy on the cymbals and dynamite on the floor.

Soundway Records present Kenya Special: Selected East African Recordings from the 1970s & ‘80s - a treasure-trove of rare and unusual recordings from East Africa. Spread out over two CDs and one triple LP, Kenya Special is accompanied by detailed liner notes, original artwork and photographs.It follows on from Soundway’s much acclaimed African ‘Special’ series that to date has focused on the highlife and afrobeat output from 1970s Nigeria and Ghana.

Kenya Special is a collection of 32 recordings (most of which were only ever released on small-run 45rpm 7" singles) that stand out as being different or unique as well as some classic genre standards. From Kikuyu language ‘liquid soul’, Luo benga and Swahili afrobeat to genre-bending Congolese and Tanzanian tracks recorded in Nairobi, Kenya Special sees Soundway yet again taking the less trodden path. Many of the tracks featured here are peppered with innovation and experimentation highlighting how diverse the music scene in Kenya was at the time. 

In 1970s Kenya the two threads of rumba and benga loosely dominated the music scene. Benga quickly became Kenya’s unique contribution to afro-pop; spreading like wildfire through the interior countryside with it’s fast, 4/4 machine-gun beat and intricate electric guitar layers. The Congolese take on Afro-Cuban rumba was introduced by touring bands many of whom settled in East Africa - influencing bands from Kenya and Tanzania to come up with their own take on this popular style. Alongside these styles were small ensembles and hotel-sponsored bands, playing a blend of music that often included rock ‘n’ roll riffs, elements of ‘afro’ music (influenced by West African musicians like Fela Kuti), and multiple other combinations from South African and Zambian guitar styles to disco, funk and Swahili coastal rhythms like chakacha.

Painstakingly compiled, assembled and researched over two years by a team of five people from five countries (Kenya included), Kenya Special is a collection that looks beyond the mainstream and brings new life and recognition to some little known gems and forgotten classics of Kenya’s past.

“Coastal Cities match jagged, post-punk guitars with uplifting electronics, while their big sound betrays an ambition which is often quite rare in young groups.” Clash Magazine

“Utterly brilliant” The Recommender

“Better make room for a new band crush” Nylon Magazine

Coastal Cities have announced the release of their double A side single ‘Entropic / Nothing Ever Changes’, released through Once Upon A Time Records. This young 5 piece - who boast a sound fuelled by jagged funked-up guitars, 80's tinged keyboard riffs and youthful summer vibes - will see the follow up to last year’s ‘Relief / The Voyage’ single released on 3rd June 2013. Their previous releases saw them gain some impressive radio airplay, with Huw Stephens, Nick Grimshaw, Jen Long, Rob Da Bank, Steve Lamacq, Chris Hawkins, Danielle Perry to name just a few, having spun their work. And now fresh out of college, with this new single, Coastal Cities are bound to impress further as they take another step into the world armed with their own individual take on UK indie.

‘Entropic’, a track which has summer vibes pumping through its veins, was produced by Hugh Worskett (Delphic) and mixed by Adrian Bushby (The Rapture, Two Door Cinema Club). The song is about making the most of life whilst you can, and there is every chance this hook filled single will allow Coastal Cities to do exactly that. ‘Nothing Ever Changes’, also produced by Worksett, is about the anticipation of waiting for something to happen which takes you by surprise, but until then everything just staying the same. Both tracks are extremely impressive efforts, boasting a mature sound, years older than they are, with a dose of their youth adding a freshness and originality.

Last year saw them play the Kitsune night at Les Inrocks Festival in Paris and 1,2,3,4 in London and this April Coastal Cities will be performing a handful of shows in and around London with more to be announced to promote the release of ‘Entropic / Nothing Ever Changes’.

Meneo Mixtape - Amon! & Sandungking

Distractions, is a quirky and soulful landscape of songs centered around the friendship of two offbeat characters who become entangled in the distractions of love. This is the story—and debut—of artist, John Nagle, and producer, Nahneen Kula.

Right before they met, John unwittingly discovered Nahneen’s home-made recordings online and was immediately captivated by her voice which is featured all across the album. John’s guitar driven grooves and breathy vocals are complimented by her electronic embellishments.

In recent years both John and Nahneen had suddenly lost their fathers. A precarious time in both their lives they entertained and inspirited one another. The song that sparked the entire album, “Unbrella,” is a memorial inspired by a heart-to-heart they shared on the irony of beautiful weather on days of utter sorrow.

The album as a whole reflects their peculiar sense of humor and the light heartedness of their relationship. In jests of their days together emerged imaginary creatures of which Nagle first illustrated in acrylic paintings as gifts to Nahneen. They have become the official mascots of the album and have snuck their way into the soundtrack—some of which are also featured on the cover: a shrimp that awkwardly floats about outer-space and a fish that flies through the air in a lustful search for bun like objects, better known as the bunfish.

Not all romances last for ever but then again not all romances end with lasting friendship—and still, not all romances become a musical collaboration. The last few tracks are revealing of this time when the zany boy and precocious girl end their love affair. Finally, as friends they set out to create Distractions.
