JBLCK - BABU (Prod. Abstract Incognito)

String Quartet No 3 ("Nofinishi")

In this African Hip Hop Radio classic mix, first published in 2009, we take it back to 1980’s Nigeria, an era during which quite some local rap was recorded, often outside of the context of hip hop culture. Together with Uchenna Ikonne, known for his research and publications on Nigerian music from the past decades, we look at Nigerian rap released on vinyl records between 1981 and 1991.

LOFT is that infamous party on the 1st & 3rd Saturday of the month at Vera Groningen. People come to LOFT for the vibe, each other and the music. It's not about 'where else can we go, what else can we do, I have to work tomorrow', no - we are here and now.

While the rest of team is heading for ADE, Space age travelers Pushin Wood Soundsystem will serve their special allnighter at VERA. No guest DJ or DJ-changeover tonight, just this infamous DJ-duo who learned from the numerous DJs with whom they shared the stage. These originators of Bambeats (Records), Space Is The Place, Music To Draw To, Weide Wereld (Bevrijdingsfestival), Pushin Food & ofcourse LOFT, always stay real to big fat analog sound. Join the night and become part of this musical journey through space & time.

Vinyl only total freestyle. No bullshit, just great records. Enjoy!

Guest DJ Michael Bhatch of Cape Town take us into Hidden Years Music Archive Project at Stellenbosch University in South Africa. 

Rare township jazz, maskanda, urban folk, traditional music (and so much more) that was recorded by sound engineer David Marks from the 1976s to 2000s. Not only was Marks a digger of music, he literally worked in the mines of the Free State of South Africa in the 1960s. 

Michael Bhatch is a lecturer at the University of Western Cape, and his PhD work focused on Afrofuturism. Check out more from him on Mixcloud. 
 
Here are 21 songs selected by Michael Bhatch from over 6000 records soon to be digitized and made available by the Africa Open Institute (https://aoinstitute.ac.za/hidden-years/).
