Amidst the fervent anticipation of the release of Stac's long awaited second album (due in the spring of 2014) our favourite soulful songstress has found the time to gather together ten of her favourite pieces of contemporary music for your delictation, in the shape of the third instalment of the "Allo Love" series.

Stac is a real music lover (not a fighter) and her selection exemplifies the breadth of her knowledge, and her perfectly pitched taste. A sonorous collection, it kicks off in grandiose style with music from The London Bulgarian Choir, no less, and remains in deep musical waters with the Matthew Herbert produced Hejira, trumpeter and friend Matthew Halsall and close contemporaries, Natural Self and Blue Daisy.

You'll also find a quartet of cherry picked Wah Wah 45s nuggets, with music from The Gene Dudley Group, Henri-Pierre Noel, Lea Lea and Scrimshire fitting perfectly into Stac's personal soundtrack, and the latter's cut also featuring the lady herself on fine vocal form. 

Finally, Stac also appears on a stunning downtempo delight from the mysterious William Sommers with whom she duets on the delicate "Delight", a tune that sums this compilation up perfectly. Enjoy.

Most fans of the blues believe it was born in the Mississippi delta shortly before 1900. They are definitevely wrong.The blues had its roots in other forms of older black music that are traced to the music of West Africa. In that sense, Mali music constituting the DNA of the blues and the griots can be identified as the direct ancestors of the rural bluesmen.Baba Sissoko is from Mali and he is the last undisputed griot alive.His voice evokes the lost vibe of the deepest and wildest side of west Africa. A magic land that he largely crossed since his childhood in singing and playing with his legendary grandfather Djeli Baba Sissoko. 

With the help of the soulful voices of Djeli Mah  Damba Koroba  and Djana Sissoko, respectively his 78 y.o. mother and his young daughter he recorded  “Three Gees”.

They are the voices of the past, the present and the future living in the twilight zone where the malian roots blooms into a new sound of hope and happiness.

Involved are also Fernando "Bugaloo" Velez on percussions and the grammy winner Corey Harris on slide guitar.

Somebody called it as Bambara Mystic Soul, we dig it and really hope you enjoy listening this album as much as we have enjoyed making it.

Summer Days (Remix) feat. Bajka

Eva Be has been a key figure on the development of Berlin underground club culture, and half of dj and producer duo LoYoTo
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
After a musically inspired youth, the East-Berlin born Eva Be first dove into the Berlin club scene in 1995.
The "Delicious Doughnuts" club in Berlin-Mitte is a defining place for her carreer - it ́s here she met the boys who would later be known as "Jazzanova", this world renown electronic sensation had an immense impact on her musical development- changing her path indefinitely.
Eva never had a musical carreer in mind, however being in the right place at the right time and meeting people who were convinced about her musicality put her on that course.
She soon curated her own club nights during her residency at the "Akba Club", where she began to experiment, defining her sound on the turntables.
This was quickly followed by regular gigs at "Cookies", "WMF", "Boogaloo", "Kurvenstar" and "Cafe Moskau", where Eva presented her very own mix of Dub, Trip Hop, Breakbeat, Drum 'n' Bass and Experimental Electronics.
Out of this growing scene around Jazzanova, Dixon, Micatone,Slope, Eva Be and many other artists, such as the legendary "Sonar Kollektiv" evolved - a collective that to this day releases styledefining records.
This was also the label, where Eva released her first solo EP "Below" followed by several 12inches as f.e. "Eve ́s Time Tonite" ( in cooperation with Fat Freddy ́s Drop Singer Joe Dukie ) and "Allee Viree" as well as her first remixes.
Musical and personal relations to the now aspiring "Vienna Scene" led to regular gigs in Austria and numerous other European capitals.
As a resident DJ in the early " Watergate" club in berlin she played side by side ( if not back to back ) with the heroes of the genre like Kid Loco, Kruder & Dorfmeister, King Britt, Rainer Trüby etc., then touring through Europe with the Berlin based band project Ye:Solar and often DJ'd supporting Bands and Acts like "Fat Freddy ́s Drop", Omar and Jamie Lidell ( f.e. @ Apollo Festival ).
During that period she found the time to produce her successful debut solo artist album "Moving Without Traveling", demonstrating her deep love for Dub and Reggae.
After the huge reception of this record, Eva then described as "berlin ́s next rising star" by the uk jazz magazine "Straight No Chaser", decided to form a band "Eva and the BEs" to present the album live throughout Europe, partly together with "Fat Freddy ́s Drop" and "The Black Seeds".
After a short baby break in 2007, Eva returned to the club scene adding more house music to her repertoire.
Having produced remixes for the Sonarkollektiv, Maertini Broes, Marcus Enochson, Recloose, Horace Andy and Jah Wobble, ... .
She - while still working on a lot of solo material - teamed up with singer Ben Ivory, to release various singles ( f.e. "Closer" on Poesie Music / Get Physical ).
Moving forward Eva started gigging at "Panoramabar", "Ipse", "Wilde Renate",
"Kater Holzig" or "Tresor" where she met DJ Cle in 2013. Both instantly got along very well personally and musically and decided to form the project "LOYOTO" combining their common love for underground House music and Dub.
The first LoYoTo record "Looking At The Starz EP" appeared on Upon You Records in 2015, the second 12" "Lonely Young Tourist EP" was released on Watergate Records in 2016. „Karmadog EP“ & "Buchi EP on Foul&Sunk in 2018 and 2019. Due to the strong demand for remixes, the duo worked their magic on several tracks over that time. 
In 2019, the two impulsive musicians decided to create their own Recordlabel. "LYT Recordings is a publishing platform for music in the shades and between the bars."
Also, Eva finally feels inspired to work on her solo thing again, consequently leading to her ° Belight EP °, a straight up Bomb, distilling her talent and knowledge from almost 20 years of music work.
