TONY ALLEN

Tony Allen has long been acknowledged as Africa’s finest kit drummer and one of the continent’s most influential musicians. His playing draws on four different styles – highlife, soul/funk, jazz and traditional Nigerian drumming. A unique and mighty sound. Together with Fela Kuti (with whom he played for 15 years) Allen co-created Afrobeat - the hard driving, horns rich, funk-infused, politically insurrectionary style which became such a dominant force in African music and such an influence worldwide.

Tony Allen’s latest release ‘Secret Agent’, is a majestic slice of hardcore roots Afrobeat, and is Allen's debut for World Circuit, his first release since he became a founder member of The Good The Bad and The Queen (alongside Damon Albarn, Paul Simonon and Simon Tong). his recent work has included also the collaboration with Finnish maverick Jimi Tenor for Strut's Inspiration Information series. Afrobeat is currently enjoying an upsurge of interest and for fans of hip-hop, funk and jazz, Allen, holder of the Afrobeat flame, is today revered as its seminal living figure.

Next up in the Heat Rock catalog! For HR-020, Altered Tapes (Chicago) and Platurn (Bay Area) offer a double dose of Marvin from his classic blaxploitation soundtrack. Already a b-boy classic in it's original form, Altered Tapes decided to turn it up the b-boy dial even more with a flip centered around a heavy drum break for Side A. While over on Side B, Platurn offers us an extended, DJ-friendly, stemmed-out version that holds more true to Marvin's take while also adding all the flavor we wish the OG had! Both guaranteed to make you bounce.

Bembe 10 Year Celebration Mix

A couple weeks ago a good friend of Sweater Funk, Seth Kolski, passed away. We invited him to guest DJ with us back in the Li Po basement as well as the Knockout many times, including coming out to play with us on his last birthday. Those of us in the crew that knew him considered him to be a family member. On Sunday July 24th, 2016 we recorded this live tribute mix of some of his favorite songs, songs he put us up on back in the basement, tracks we geeked over when he guested, songs we texted back and forth about, and tracks he always used to play on his long running Sweet Power radio show (KUSP Santa Cruz, 2006-2015), etc.  We hope you enjoy this mix and remember Seth Kolski (August 23rd, 1975 - July 19th, 2016).  Hopefully we'll try to get some more of his legendary mixes posted online. We're gonna miss ya homie.
