Outsiders: Afrosynth w/ DJ Okapi feat. Ntombi Ndaba @ Kiosk Radio 30.07.2021

Instead of following trends, DJ Okapi has made it his mission to preserve and share a forgotten era of South African pop music, specifically the infectious sounds of synth-fuelled ‘80s ‘bubblegum’ disco and the house-driven kwaito grooves of the ‘90s. DJing since the early 2000s, Okapi started Afrosynth as a blog documenting his record collection. From 2016 to 2000 he ran a record store in downtown Johannesburg. Afrosynth now functions primarily as a reissue label, putting out classic South African sounds, as well as new jazz, via Rush Hour in Amsterdam. In the process he has helped bring artists like Ntombi Ndaba and Kamazu back to the international stage. Recently returned to Cape Town, the city of his birth, after more than a decade in Johannesburg, Okapi has shared his unique and soulful sound throughout Europe as well as Asia and Brazil. He has also compiled popular vinyl collections of South African music for Rush Hour, Soundway and Cultures of Soul.

Ep09: DJ Okapi

DJ Okapi, founder of Afrosynth Records, is widely respected as one of the key figures preserving South Africa’s electronic, bubblegum, and kwaito heritage. More than a DJ, he’s an archivist and connector, unearthing lost South African sounds from the ’80s and ’90s while championing a new wave of local jazz artists — like Mabuta and Ayanda Sikade — through his New Horizons compilation series, pressed on vinyl and distributed worldwide by @rushhourrecords in Amsterdam.

Afrosynth began as a blog in 2009–2010, with deep dives into disco, funk, bubblegum, and early kwaito that helped put these sounds back on the map for collectors, DJs, and reissue labels globally. The label naturally grew from that archival work.

A vital connector and collector, Okapi ran the legendary Afrosynth record shop in downtown Johannesburg before returning to Cape Town, where you’ll now find him DJing at venues like Gorgeous George and The Commons, or digging up vinyl treasures at local record fairs. His sets are living archives — a dance floor journey through priceless holy grails and bargain-bin surprises, all stitched together with groove and deep knowledge

The Feeling: Ep 09 - DJ Okapi

Stunning mix! Volcov blessed us with a warm winter we think… The DJ and producer from Italy came by a few weeks ago to record a new store mix in the series. He restricted himself, dug the jazz bins and selected deep spiritual music to light up our days . 

Volcov is a DJ and collector and music lover since the late 80s and has played all around Europe, USA and Japan. He founded the record labels Archive in 1997, Neroli in 2000 and SJNRL in 2003. He lived in London during the drum & bass and broken beat heydays, today he resides back home in Verona, and is part of the strongly growing Sounds Familiar crew.

This is the fifth in a series of Rush Hour Store mixes, where we invite our favorite artists and DJs to dig the bins and record us a mix on the spot. Click on the links below for more info on the featured tracks.

ESP Institute Radio - Inaugural show w/ Lovefingers (Live on Dublab – Jan 13, 2016)

Occasionally, a record — or sometimes even a DJ — simply falls out of the sky, like so many unexplained showers of fish, or midnight deliveries of frozen piss from passing jumbo jets. And so it was when DJ Steve first came to our attention in 2011 via Tim Sweeney, who discovered him quite by chance DJing in the Italian seaside town of Tropea. 
Sweeney, on vacation in the area, was so impressed with Steve he passed him his card, telling him to call him if he ever made it to New York. Some time later, DJ Steve did make it to New York, called Sweeney and turned up at the Beats In Space studio, barely speaking any English but with a pile of “DJ Steve special cuts”, white labels and acetates, and laid down an extended mix - “Italian style!”. Then, nobody ever really heard from him again.
Fast forward to Berlin 2013, and the mix had become a staple at the after hours of a small group of friends, including Paramida, who would soon start Love On The Rocks. They called it “the DJ Steve experience”. Paramida counts it as one of her main musical inspirations, saying it showed her another perspective of groove, and turned her perception of dance music “upside down”. And still, nobody seemed to know who he was. speaking any English but with a pile of “DJ Steve special cuts”, white labels and acetates, and laid down an extended mix - “Italian style!”. Then, nobody ever really heard from him again.
Until one day in early 2016, after years of exhausting all her contacts in an effort to track him down, after all the blood, sweat and tears, and countless hours spent interrogating various dance music insiders, Paramida finally received a message. “Minkia, stu pezzu nci spunda u culu e passari!” Whatever that meant, it was instantly clear that her search had come to a conclusion. Despite the near-indecipherable dialect, and other obvious communication problems, Paramida somehow persuaded him to sign two of his “special cuts” for Love On The Rocks, which would soon become the record you now hold in your hands.
As DJ Steve had put it so well: “Dick! This thing could pierce the anus of a sparrow!”. Amen.

Welcome to the Sound Of Love International 001 complied by Gatto Fritto. Love International is a festival held in Tisno, Croatia now moving into its third season. Held to a soundtrack of the very best of underground dance music and running 24 hours a day - from noon to night and back through again - full circle. This series, masterminded with London’s Balearic culture website, Test Pressing, is curated by some of our favourite artists and DJs. A place for them to choose 12 records close to their heart, and with ties to the festival, that they love and what to share with the world. So to the first compiler - Gatto Fritto a.k.a Ben Williams. 

A lifetime working in the better record shops of London and Berlin and DJing in Europe’s finest underground clubs, Ben is getting the props he deserves. Put into context, although not in a box, on line-ups curated by Call Super, Ben UFO and Palms Trax the word is spreading. It’s partially testament to the increased open mindedness of younger big room crowds but far more to Gatto’s ability as a DJ and a knack for finding an undiscovered mix of music that fits. 

Having previously made freaky Disco mutations for Dissident Records, then an album of Kosmiche inspired sounds for International Feel, it’s proving to be something of an advantage not being easily hamstrung by genre. 

So what about the music here? It’s a collection of tracks that Ben played across his last two sets at Love International’s open air club Barbarellas. There’s a dubby wildness in the stereo field that sounded good on the soundsystem. The clever part is how well suited these sounds are to the balmy outdoor vibe and where and when this music comes from. You can’t copyright these emotions, it would seem and no-one told them in Cologne, Sheffield, Jamaica that the music they were producing would soundtrack a blinky-eyed sunrise in Croatia. 

So we get Mad Professor’s son, Joe Ariwa’s, demented Gabber tempo stepper played on 33. Which is about as House as Reggae is ever going to be. A crash course in Skwee’s year long diversion into afrobeat turned out the cream of the crop in Anaalivaihe’s 10.11.2012 or Mi Ami’s outlier release on Pure Silk that sounds like, in Ben’s words, “Francois K being forced to make a record with a Juno 60”. Or crazy vari-speed tape dubbing from Sonny Okosun in the dub version of ‘Highlife’ – the kind of record that Ben loves, where the end result is a happy accident. The original intention of the maker some distance from the reasons for our enjoyment. 

Musically adventurous, disparate yet harmonious and dance floor friendly. Clever trick, clever bloke. Ladies and gentlemen this is the sound of Love International.

BHILL EDITS 002

The second of a new series of edits supporting charities around the world, to run alongside our party series in Manchester which will be raising money in tandem. Each month, we will be releasing an edit via Bandcamp and donating the proceeds to a selected charity. 
Thanks to everyone who supported the Idrissa Soumaoro edit last month, we managed to raise £118 (so far) for non-profit festival Meet Me There in Ghana, along with £500 from our club night at the end of January. 

This month, all proceeds from sales of James Fox's excellent edit of this SA boogie jam from 1985 by Simon Moloi will be going to the Manchester Central Foodbank, who provide a vital service people for those in need. 
Our night on 22nd February at Soup Kitchen will also be raising funds for them. 

Thanks in advance for your support.

Methusalem - Robotism (LD & RD Edit)

Iako naslov govori drugačije, novi ASC ''guest mix'' je daleko od toga. Marko je naš rezident, prijatelj i bliski član ASC familije. Dio je i Esplendora, kolektiva koji od početka svog djelovanja pridaje pažnju glazbenoj edukaciji mlađih naraštaja, kako kroz svoju radio emisiju, tako i organizacijom raznih klupskih događanja, a što je ujedno ideja i cilj djelovanja i samog ASC-a. Kroz svoj serijal partija je zajedno s Nilom i DJ OZ-om doveo i predstavio splitskoj publici najbolje domaće i regionalne dj-e, a malo je poznato da je upravo Marko i prvi rezident kluba „Judino Drvo”. Od samog početka, dakle već više od dvije godine, dio je Adriatic Social Club DJs kolektiva i nastupio je pred publikom više klubova i festivala diljem regije.

ASC Guest Mix 008 - Marko Friedl (ASC, Esplendor)

We are an online community radio streaming 24/7 from a wooden shack in the heart of Brussels’ historic “Parc Royal”.

A meeting point for music freaks from Brussels and beyond. A tiny kiosk bar serving eclectic music and drinks. Sometimes, in sunny summer days, a safe space to dance under the trees.
