'Flash A Flashlight' - Benjamin Ball (1984)

Downtempo Shangaan with some ill Jock Jams-esque synth stabs.

Penny Penny - Shaka Bundu

Soundway Records present a special summer tribute double a-side 12" with two tracks from African musicians that both passed away within a couple of months of each other at the end of 2013 / start of 2014. Both tracks are perfect summer tropical DJ fodder for the dancefloor.

On the first side South African singer Shaluza Max's massive Mashkandi / house anthem from 2002 gets a first release on vinyl. This track was a huge hit in South Africa and around the world on its release. With a soaring Zulu vocal and big sound it's a fitting reminder of a very talented musician who worked as a very well respected producer, composer and arranger. He died tragically young at the age of 47 in January of 2014.

On the flip we drop a fairly unknown track from the mid 1980s from one of the biggest names in African music, Tabu Ley Rochereau. A kind of almost balearic proto-house congolese pop cut with drum machines and trademark sweet congo horn section, Hafi Deo is a beautiful track that fell into obscurity outside The Congo by perhaps being too smooth for the 'world music' crowd in the mid 80s. Tabu Ley passed away in November 2013 in his late 70s with over 250 albums and 3000 songs to his name. A true pioneer of the congolese soukous sound, he was also one of the most influential African musicians of his generation.

Pre-order

Tabu Ley Rochereau - Hafi Deo (Extract)

DIGITAL ZANDOLI - THE MIXTAPE 3 : FURTHER EXPLORATION OF CREOLE ELECTRONIC & TRADITIONAL MUSIC

Since it's impossible to dig right now, I'm going through my own records and rips. This is an old edit, tried, tested and true to the original. I only kept the best parts in and removed the ones that didn't really do it for me. It's a great little party starter.
