Rocky Marsiano (@rockymarsiano) is the brainchild of Lisbon hip hop veteran D-Mars, the result of his passion for MPC head bobbin' beats, as well as Lusophone classics from Angola, Cape Verde and Mozambique, which permeate the streets he grew up on in Lisbon.

"Esse Mambo" samples one of the greatest Angolan recording artists of all times, Bonga, and is a perfect introduction to Rocky Marsiano's playfully hybrid sound. "Both Angola 72 and Angola 74 are classic records from Angola. All the songs on both albums are just great: so much depth and rhythmical vibes"

Marsiano manages to tastefully expand the vibes of this classic record, as he does on the rest of his Meu Kamba project, which comes out online September 23.

EDMONY KRATER - CHIMIN SPIRIT (Xav Roots edit)

Soundway's at it again! This time with a brand new album from South London's Huw Bennet under his newly established Susso alias. The New Keira LP features music which is inspired by (and directly samples) the magnificent sounds of the Mandinka people, which he recorded during a recent trip to Gambia.

The tracks are composed entirely from original source material, field recordings and Huw’s talents as a multi-instrumentalist; performing tuned percussion from the region including the Mandinka Balafon, Kutiringding drum, as well as drawing on his skill as a professional upright / electric bassist. One of the tracks which best exemplifies his contemporary electronic sound, whilst still paying homage to a traditional Gambian aesthetic has to be Ansumana. It's definitely been a shop favourite ever since the good guys at Soundway sent it over and we can't wait to get our hands on this beautiful release when it arrives next month. Reserve your copy now ahead of the official release next month: j.mp/KeiraLP

Bonga - Mona Ki Ngi Xica (Marsiano's dirty break rework)

The fourth release on DISCOVERY Recordings comes from Analog Players Society, a melting pot of musicians led by Amon Drum at The Hook Studio in Brooklyn. 

Coule'Ba is a West African tune featuring the amazing vocal talent of Missia Saran Dibate of Guinea. We hoped to get it last year but the studio and surrounding area were hit hard by Hurricane Sandy (bitch). Amon and his fam spent the following months helping alongside the Red Hook Initiative with those even less fortunate in the area. By the time we got the record ready, it seemed only natural to donate the profits to the organization that did so much for Red Hook during that time.

500 copies, hand stamped bright red 7" vinyl - available late May.
