Coming 28th July.. Automous Africa Vol III

Autonomous Africa Volume 3

---------------------------

This is the third Autonomous Africa EP, the idea being that one EP is released each year and all proceeds are donated to a charity in Africa. Last year's second volume, along with a fundraising night in Glasgow and another in London raised several thousand pounds for the Mtandika Mission in Tanzania (more info on that below). Midland grew up in Tanzania and his parents run the aforementioned charity so it feels fitting that AA continues to raise funds for that. Midland has once again contributed a stellar track as has AA stalwart Auntie Flo (who has now contributed to all three releases). This year they are joined by Glasgow funksters General Ludd and then Twitch rounds off the EP. All being well, this year will also see an AA compilation album of music from Africa.

EP tracks are

A1) Midland - Safi
A2) General Ludd - Burning Mack

AA1) Auntie Flo featuring Anbuley - Daabi
AA2) JD Twitch - Maya

All tracks mastered by Matt Colton.

Distribution by Above Board. Released 28th July 2014 on 12". Digital will follow.

A big, warm thank you to I AM in Glasgow and Trouble Vision in London for putting on AA fundraising nights and for their immense generosity.

Why Autonomous Africa?

----------------------

Many of the problems Africa faces are a result of outside interference by other countries, and as the 21st century progresses we will see the continued pillage of African resources to feed the global capitalist machine on an unprecedented scale. Corrupt and greedy regimes gladly sell their land and mineral wealth to finance their own extravagant lifestyles while the vast majority of ordinary people see little or no improvement in their own lives. An autonomous Africa run by the people for the people, where African land is predominantly used to feed African people and Africa's vast wealth of resources is used to benefit the people of Africa seems the only logical way forward. Autonomous Africa's goal is to highlight this message and here presents to you 4 tracks of African inspired grooves.

We fully realise a small run, independently released 12" is going to make very little difference to the world, but doing something has to be better than doing nothing. The idea of an autonomous Africa may be naive and unrealistic, but at some point the world we live in will have to change or future generations are going to be left with very little as we consume way more than our fair share. We have collectively buried our heads in the sand thinking we are powerless to engender change. Individually we have little power but collectively, the power is ours.

About The Mtandika Mission
--------------------------

Mtandika is a large village in the dry Ruaha river valley, 400km west of Dar es Salaam. It is a very poor village.

One of the prime movers in the village is Sister Barberina Mhagala. Since she retired from being Headmistress of the Primary School in 2005, Sister Barberina has been developing a Trade School at Mtandika to provide skills training for girls who are either orphans or have no fees for secondary education. She started by building a classroom and dormitory for the Trade School girls who were given sewing lessons and learning to make garments to sell.

Because many of the children do not have homes locally, accommodation is critical. So Sister then built extra accommodation blocks, not only for some of the girls attending the Trade School but also for some 80 girls attending the local Lukosi Secondary School where there was no accommodation.

The girls are taught to be as self sufficient as possible and as well and grow their own food and rear animals in the school grounds.

Water supply is critical, as water is not only required for every day purposes at the school but for irrigating the shambas [allotments]. Water is currently pumped from the nearby perennial Lukosi river some 500 metres away using a petrol pump. Investigations into a cheaper alternative are being investigated.

Education is essential if Tanzania is to fully develop its full potential and anything is possible given the opportunity. As well as supporting Sister Barberina in her capital expenditure, some 10 of the children at the Trade School and 30 at local Secondary Schools who cannot afford the fees are sponsored by funds raised by the charity.

Midland - Safi [Autonomous Africa vol.3] Out Now.

If you're into a really good 'Afro-edit DJ tool', and being a good person, then hopefully you're well aware of the Autonomous Africa series. The yearly vinyl series, that donates all proceeds to an African charity, is back, and this time it's giving to the Mtandika Mission in Tanzania.

This blinder comes courtesy of Glasgow's General Ludd, who should be raising some kind of 'ones to watch' siren in your memory synapses.

Forthcoming on Autonomous Africa on 28th July, 2014.

General Ludd 'Burning Mack' - Boiler Room Debuts

Order: https://uncannyvalleyrec.bandcamp.com/album/uv025-various-artists
Release Dates:
Bandcamp: Vinyl 28.11.2014 + Digital 1.12.2014
All other stores: Vinyl 12.12.2014 + Digital 15.12.2014

After the extensive “Uncanny Valley 20” compilation we go back to our classic 4- track-format for “Uncanny Valley 025”. Taking the chance to introduce 3 new artists to our roster, we warmly welcome Lake People, Philipp Triebel and RJ (who is also one half of Dürerstuben) to add their distinctive flavour to this record.

Lake People doesn’t need an introduction anymore as his smart and emotional productions are making rounds from Ibiza to your basement club around the corner. His “Unexpected End Of Archive” is another example for his knack to produce tracks that evokes an emotional maelstrom on the dance floor. Beautiful synth melodies are meandering throughout the tune while the slick drum arrangement provides just enough tension to keep your feet on the floor.

Philipp Triebel caught our ear with his live set when we played together at a party in his hometown Giessen. After handing in demos for some time he now contributes “Unity” to this compilation. Clocking in at just 4 and a half minutes it gets us moving with tight chords, tricky drums and a short but prominent synth melody that will be heavy on the dance floor.

The B-side features two tracks by RJ, a member of the 2014 edition of RBMA in Tokyo. “Leo” is an excellent piece of slowly rising House music that pushes the right buttons at just the right time. With melancholic robots on vocals duties and dreamy synth pads this track literally tells a story. Closing the record is “Nie” which rises the pace and takes a similar path like its predecessor with moony synths and a very catchy melody.

As always with the Various Artists EPs on Uncanny Valley, the artwork is by courtesy of illustrator Paul Waak, this time with a fresh new approach.

Rhythm Section International's Dutch division opens his South East London account on a brilliant, and brilliantly diverse debut album. Canvas takes in everything from fluttering jazz, dreamy downtempo excursions, lo-fi funk, and glistening electronica custom built for this time of year.

We're letting you listen to opening track "Butterflies," a short but very sweet slice of folky-ambience that'll probably sound even better when Sunday morning rolls around and you're sat there with a mug of Nescafe and a head full of regrets.

▬
ARTS presents the very first Cousin label called Warehouse Memories, Every other section of the label was part of the same exact label, Suprising? Not at All, this Label was born to give a direction to what we think of Rave in a more specific way, the idea is to give every single tool possible to inspire the future of techno, we don't want to lead, and we don't want to say what is wrong or what is right, This is the real definition of Rave, we want to simply show that there is a way to make music without standing to uninformed and standard patterns. The aim is purely artistic and is a statement in the Rave Culture.

We live in the time when rave is the word that is only used when people want to describe a fierce party or to describe colors. styles and some types of electronic music. Basically. the word -Rave- became sort of a metaphor. But back in the days. it was the name for the revolution. no less than that. Warehouse Memories was born to give a direction to that Revolution. this is Rave 001 by Ersatz Olfolks. Presented on 12", Full Color Pressed Cover, Shrink-Wrapped, with applied Sticker on the top and internal sleeve. Listen: bit.ly/2oURUvI
