I love it ! We seem to have exactly the same musical taste. How can i get this tune for my Dj set ?

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

The city was a hotbed of creativity and hypnotic colour. People danced triumphantly at the turn of the century, all evil was cast aside and happiness would conquer one and all... but only for the weekend. In the streets bright outfits were out proudly upon display for all of the world to see. Blistering shades of yellow, red, green, blue and beyond were masquerading for as far as the naked eye could see. The roar of trumpets filled the air as the horns began to play.

Orchestre Poly Rythmo de Contonou are remixed on a new EP as Bosq reimagines a number of their tracks as part of a special edits package on SOL Power Sound.

12" Vinyl released 16 March 2018.

Soundway Records presents the debut EP from The Mauskovic Dance Band – a heady, tropical blend of cumbia, Afro-Caribbean rhythms and space disco, culminating in a vibrant hypnotic groove destined for bustling dancefloors.

With each band member of varying heritage, the group draws inspiration from diverse genres: primarily Afro-Colombian styles such as champeta, palenque, cumbia and the picó soundsystem culture, as well as the Afro-Disco and No-Wave scenes in their current base of Amsterdam. The city’s hotbed of underground producers has also brought an electronic edge to the band, with vintage drum machines and synthesisers effortlessly melding with Afro-Latin rhythms and slick guitar riffs to create a contemporary sound rich with cultural influence.

Favorite Recordings proudly presents Combattant, first EP by Pat Kalla produced by Bruno “Patchworks” Hovart.
PAT KALLA is a musician, singer and storyteller. Patrice of his birth name, in tribute to the great Lumumba! Lover of words, French language, and music of course. Born in Lyon, from a Cameroonian father, musician and political activist, and a French and literary mother, he explores from his childhood the Soul, the Slam, the Funk ... and the art of telling stories, life being a great one...
After years of touring alongside many bands (Conte & Soul, Legend of Eboa King, Mento Cloub, Voilaaa Sound System), and several acclaimed titles on the two albums by Voilaaa, he comes back with this project to put a bit of primordial lightness in a rainy world: A tribute to the African culture in honor of a father with "Sawa" origins, the tribe from the people of Makossa.
Here is one of the track of the EP called Madiba and remixed by Voilaaa. 
Full of sunshine and love. If you like it, please pre order it and support the artist right there : www.thepusher.fr/vinyl/12inch/pat-kalla-combattant-ep-12inch.html

Although he hails from the cold winters of Boston, Massachusetts, it’s hard not to hear a sort of authenticity in the Latin and Afro rhythms Bosq crafts in his upcoming release Love and Resistance out on Ubiquity Records. If I had to pinpoint the underlying reason for why this is, I’d say its the producer’s dedication and commitment to the music he is so passionate about.

For Bosq, dabbling in Central and South American beats is less of a trend than it is an actual lifestyle. This is why we believe the American musician has chosen to call Medellin, Colombia his home for the past couple of years. Unlike other Western artists, who have been criticized for not directly collaborating with the far-off cultures they choose to sample, Bosq has decided to do the exact opposite – and this approach shows in basically every tune featured on his latest record.

For example, take the lead track from his LP titled Com Força, which translates to “With Strength” in English. Instead of sampling some classic Brazilian artist like Jorge Ben to create the tune, Bosq resoundingly says, “Fuck that” and makes an original all his own with contemporary Brazilian vocalist Bruno Morais from São Paulo. The result is something that sounds like it comes from the country itself and actually contributes to the rich, flowing canon of Brazilian dance music – not something being cheaply borrowed and re-packaged for Western audiences.

The genuine way in which Bosq incorporates himself and his music explains why Love and Resistance is littered with features that range from the likes of Kaleta and Nicole Willis. Whether it’s making a song that sounds like it’s from Benin or sultry disco that epitomizes American funk, Bosq makes every track off his album exude a tangible “realness” by working with authentic representatives from each genre featured on it – and for that, we at Bolting Bits tip our hats off to him. This is no easy feat and should be viewed as a glorious example of how musicians can embrace other cultures without appropriating.

On April 19th, DJs for Climate Action (DJS4CA) present the second annual EARTH NIGHT; an initiative harnessing the energy of the global nightlife scene to raise awareness and funds for climate action. Taking place in the week leading up to Earth Day, the team will release an impressive music compilation and sponsor parties in Brooklyn, Berlin and beyond to shine light on the challenge facing our planet and the unique role musicians can play.

This year DJS4CA launch EARTH NIGHT RECORDS with a compilation that gathers new music from over 50 artists from 12 countries including Simon Meija (Bomba Estereo), Infinity Ink, Nicola Cruz, Little Boots, and many others. It will become available for pre-order exclusively through Bandcamp starting March 11th, and tracks will drop every week leading up to the full release on 4/19.

To show our support for such an important initiative, we are sharing one of the songs from the compilation today. By happy chance, it just so happens to be from Boltings Bits fave Bosq! Titled "Many Hands," the Colombian-based maestro describes this tune as, "[...] a mix of rhythms and styles from around the world, and a representation of many simple pieces coming together to create a solution even when the setbacks mean you have to start over and rebuild again […]”

Poignant, yet resolute, this quote not only encapsulates the feel of the track but also represents the valiant efforts of the DJs and organizers from around the globe who are joining forces to raise awareness around climate change - hopefully compelling governments and corporations alike to implement solutions to solve this imminent problem. Having launched just last year, you can rest assured that this will not be the last EARTH NIGHT and that DJS4CA are going to keep fighting the good fight until this battle is won!
