Sound of Africa Vol 11: Zanku Season (2019)

Zoukous Makossa is the sound and feeling of the Francophone African diaspora in the 80's and into the '90s, from Douala, Kinshasa, Abidjan and Pointe-à-Pitre to Paris, Brussels, New York City. Volume II is a fast-paced, all vinyl mix of some tunes that I've been spinning a lot in the past year or so: a non-stop TGV train of guitars, drum machines and animation. Mini Diblo Dibala tribute up top, "Diblo Dibala il est malade!"

Rundown Radio: Best of 2019 Afrobeats

It's been a minute (actually 7 years) since I focused one of these Sound of Africa mixes solely on South Africa, but you can't deny the excitement around Amapiano.  It's been one of the most exciting genres to come out of the continent recently.  2019 saw it explode beyond South African borders and start influencing producers and DJs all over the world, including many Nigerian afrobeat hitmakers.  This mix is a quick introduction to some of the biggest hits in the genre and hopefully demonstrates why people are so excited to see where the genre will go.

Sound of Africa vol 12: Amapiano (Summer 2020)

This was the first installment of the Sound of Africa mixtape series.  I originally posted this on the digging4gold site April 2011. 

http://digging4gold.tumblr.com/post/4815480559/the-offical-sound-of-africa-vol-1-mixtape

At the time, the Azonto sound was still developing and was not yet a household name in Ghana. The biggest hit at the time - and one of the songs that led to the Azonto explosion - "Muje Baya," was blasting out out of every kiosk and open street pub in Accra. 

So, after months of dancing to these tunes, My friend, DJ Kev, and I decided to rent some cdjs and lock ourselves up in a dusty Accra apartment for a couple hours to bust out this mix.  Looking back, this mix is a great example of the transition hiplife was making into the more house-oriented production of Azonto.  It nothing else, if was definitely the launching point for my current musical trajectory. Enjoy!
