One thing about working with Dennis Coffey: the man likes to keep things Detroit-centric as much as possible. Which is great. The sheer amount of talent coming out of the D is incredible, and his latest album was heavily enriched by contributions from some of the city's finest performers, including Mayer Hawthorne, Mick Collins of The Dirtbombs, Rachel Nagy of The Detroit Cobras and more. So it came as no surprise that when we started the discussions about putting together a remix compilation, the plan was to pull from Detroit's extremely rich electronic community.
We're partnering up with Fat Beats to give away the whole collection soon, which includes contributions from Dabrye, 14KT, Recloose, Nick Speed &amp; more, but to kick things off we wanted to share with you this excellent remix from Ghostly's Shigeto. The Michigan beat maker puts a distinctive bounce underneath "All Your Goodies Are Gone," somewhere in between garage house and the signature Motor City hip-hop sound characterized by innovators like Jay Dilla. The remix collection, titled Outer Galaxies: Dennis Coffey Reinterpreted will be out soon. Dennis Coffey's Dennis Coffey album and Shigeto's Full Circle are out now.

Dennis Coffey_All Your Goodies Are Gone feat. Mayer Hawthorne (Shigeto remix)

2tes Stockwerk

This summer we received a demo full of warmth and vibrant color from Oakland/Guadalajara-based Andre Wiken. Wiken is a globetrotter, repurposing fabrics around the world (Syria, Mexico, Turkey, Morocco, California, Bulgaria) to form boutique five panels and snapbacks via his Lower Park Hats brand. “Our mission is simply to promote travel and internationality by providing unique, one-of-a-kind products.” 

Wiken’s music follows suit, weaving a tapestry of uplifting, communal vibrations without borders. ‘Que Te Come Tiburon,’ Wiken’s first single for Astro Nautico, features exuberant, soulful piano stabs and bouncy latin percussion over party-starting low end swells. Vocals by Jae Wheeler and Estef float on an aural river of vibraphones, defining a sound that is as classic as it is refreshing.

About “The Egyptian Second Line” 

In the spirit of reclaiming that which colonization sought to destroy, I'm releasing the first single from my upcoming album Afro-Caribbean Mixtape at the top of Columbus Day weekend. Like a piece of African patchwork, this track is comprised of a lot of different elements — some old, some new. The main body of this record was constructed from the end vamp of a tune I wrote for Dr. Greg Carr (chair of African-American studies at Howard University) called, “Kimathi.” In fact, throughout the piece, you can hear my turntablist, DJ Lady Fingaz, scratching a sample I chopped from one of his interviews. I constructed a new work by cutting and pasting the best moments of Kevin Hays and I playing keyboards on top of the extended jam, and superimposed that over the groove laid down by bassist Vicente Archer, drummer Joe Dyson, and percussionist Daniel Sadownick. I did this with the help of my mix engineer, Blake Leyh (The Wire, Treme). 

Towards the beginning of the piece, you'll hear a chant from vocalists Yolanda Robinson, Jolynda Phillips, and Christina Machado. It's from a thing my father made up while walking through his childhood neighborhood of 13th Ward New Orleans back in the 1940s, “Na-na ni-ta ho-ho. Left, right. Left, right.” Thirty years later, as an elementary school band teacher at McDonogh #15, he had us chant this whenever we marched in second line parades. It recalls the syllabic prayers of ancient languages used in modern dance songs like Mani Dibango's “Soul Makossa,” of which Michael Jackson borrowed for “Wanna Be Startin' Something.”  


The centerpiece of the single is my recitation of a poem I wrote back in 2006 in the aftermath of the flood commonly referred to as “Katrina.” It's called “The Egyptian Second Line.” The gist of the poem toys with the theory that somehow Africans submitted to slavery in an attempt to become better versions of themselves. After the ladies chirp the hook, I step away from the keyboards and embrace the instrument I'm most known for — the trumpet — and blow a few before we take it out. With this song, I am channeling the energy of the ancestors to help give Africa back to herself in the best way I know how, through the power of music. 


In New Orleans, a “second line” is the procession where we dance in the streets to music played by a brass band to celebrate either life or death. When I think about what an Egyptian second line looks like, I think of the imagery of that photo of Louis Armstrong serenading his wife, Lucille in front of the Sphinx — again Africans giving Africa back to herself.

A designer, producer and DJ, south Londoner Hector Plimmer is quite the jack of all trades, and has been making some considerable waves over the past year with his jazz and hip-hop inflected electronica.

After racking up an appearance on the most recent Brownswood Bubblers compilation (Gilles Peterson is a big fan), he recently proved his burgeoning talent when he was selected as the winner of the PRS Steve Reid InNOVAtion Award.

Following on from his recent Eastern System EP, released last year via rising London label Albert's Favourites, we're happy to premiere his debut album Sunshine, which is released on the same imprint this week.
