London-based label Tiff's Joints gears up for its first release with two Afro-Brazilian heaters straight from the source. The A-side, "Batuki", is a bottom-heavy roller from Sao Paolo's Oribata (DJ Tahira & Fernando TRZ) with heaps of indigenous percussion, painfully funky chords peppered with some primal grunting. Already clocking support from household names like Laurent Garnier, "Batuki" is forecast to infect numerous dancefloors and airwaves alike.

This one drops November 4th on limited 12" and digital download. Pre-order here: https://tiffsjoints.bandcamp.com/album/tiffs-joints-001

I have a distinct memory of hearing Afro house for the first time because it was both a spiritual and transformative experience. The depth of the bass, the fusion of tribal instrumentation with soulful house, the syncopation and polyrhythms immediately evoked a vision of a celebration in the bush somewhere in the Motherland with brothas and sistas dancing around a fire. A vision that continues to appear every time I'm blessed to hear and feel that particular composition of sounds. Still, all these years later. No other style of music summons these emotions. 

When I began to investigate why? It didn't take me long to realize that at its core, Afro house mimics the beating of the heart. THE organ that sustains life. In other words, the Motherland. With that in mind, I present to you the first sonic offering of two honoring the power of this music. 

This first volume is focused on SUBSTANCE. With sounds from Morocco, Libya, Tunisia, Egypt, Liberia, Mali, Gambia, Togo, Nigeria, Guinea, Angola...traversing from North all the way down to South Africa, the birthplace of Afro house.

Stay tuned for volume two, in the meantime take a trip to CHANZO, the source. 📷 by Maltilda Temperley. Follow me @itsabyrd
