EBOKA

The raptuous Changaa Attack is the perfect follow up to Nyiduonge Drums  which has been thrilling dancefloors since it was released in 2011.  Changaa is the potent homebrew local to the region (it also goes by the name “Goodbye Mum”) and is rumoured to contain Jet fuel. Recorded on the fly in the kitchen at the bands Air B&B accommodation in Kisumu, Louis commandeered the band commandeered some local kids to chant out the chorus. 

The track is taken from ‘Nyanza’ is the third album from the cross-cultural, cross generational, and boundary surpassing Owiny Sigoma Band. For their third offering, the band travelled to the Nyanza Province of Western Kenya - home of their two members Joseph Nyamungu and Charles Owoko - to explore the birthplace of Luo music. The album will be released later this year. 

A complex, constantly evolving, musical relationship now in its fifth year, the project has seen the band producing music in both Kenya, for their self-titled 2009 album, and in London for 2012’s Power Punch LP. The group features Nyatiti master Joseph Nyamungu and Lou percussionist Charles Owoko, both from the Luo tribe of Western Kenya, as well as London-based musicians Tom Skinner (drums), Jesse Hackett (vox/keys) and Louis Hackett (bass).

Owiny Sigoma Band - Changaa Attack

After the success of their previous albums Owiny Sigoma Band’s forthcoming long player “Nyanza" continues to bring eclectic and intriguing musical ideas to the table.

Following from the release of "Changaa Attack", Owiny Sigoma Band bring fresh perspectives to cross-cultural collaborations. To make this record, master Luo musicians Joseph Nyamungu and Charles Owoko, invited the London contingent of the band to the Nyanza province of Kenya in the heart of a region called Luoland, to discover the roots of Luo Music. Travelling with a suitcase full of recording equipment the band set up studios on the fly. Louis Hackett the bands bass player produced this hypnotic response after a 12 hour changaa fueled session of hard Nyatiti soundclash. Utilising Owoko’s fierce Nyiduongue drumming and a one take vocal workout from Nyamungu, “Luo Land" is another wayward dancefloor workout for the late night freaks. 

Luo Land and Changaa Attack are available now as instant downloads with pre-orders on “Nyanza” which gets a full release on the 28th August.

Dele Sosimi's album 'You No Fit Touch Am' was released in 2015 to much universal acclaim. A perfect document of the lessons the keyboard master and vocalist learned in Fela Kuti's ranks during the 70s and 80s, but brought firmly up-to-date and with contemporary social comment as vital to the Afrobeat genre as any rhythm or instrument. This year Wah Wah 45s reveals the final four remixes to be taken from this hugely popular and influential project.
"You No Fit Touch Am Retouched 2" releases March 10, 2017 on Wah Wah 45s.

Exclusive Premiere: Dele Sosimi "E Go Betta (DJ Khalab Remix)"

Emotional Response starts 2017 with a mini-album of ambient-equatorial enlightenment by Australia’s mysterious Tropical Hi-Fi. The final record from an artist appearing on the label’s Schleißen series, this also points to the future.

Based somewhere in the far flung Northern Territories, the music of Hi-Fi’s pre-incarnation Electric Egypt was first discovered via the note-worthy airwaves of L.A’s outstanding Dublab radio station.

As the wonderfully diverse internet shows and project’s dense, hip-hop inspired collages came to fruition with 2012’s Exotica release, a dual awareness and sporadic contact was maintained whenever a signal could be established with Hi-Fi base camp. As the Schleißen series was formed, the studio-DJ-cut-up-mix of Oceanic Mythology was warmly received as an inspired counterpoint to the dense offering from Don’t DJ.

These first real solo recordings from the Hi-Fi crew - whoever he/she/they maybe - moves on from the cut’n’paste of Electric Egypt to seek a meditative vision.

Ambient, drone and field recordings are all part of a drifting tropical flavour that encompasses the listener. Music truly inspired by it’s surroundings, this is not some music journal, flying in to sample a life and it’s sounds, but the real, living entity and it can be heard deep across 8 short pieces.

None is more typified than here with Tahiti Blue, where fellow traveler Mike Cooper layers his ubiquitous steel blues over simple, lilting drums. 

Enjoy.

Kawuku Sound is the coming together of UK producers Contours & Cervo and Ugandan percussion troupe Fonkodelis Arkestra. This is the culmination of a month-long creative process that was born out of the Nyege Nyege affiliated Boutiq Studio in Kawuku, Kampala, Uganda. Ahead of their Ugandan release, we spoke to Tom Burford aka Contours about the reasons behind the project, jerk rice and the cultural appropriation debate, his top picks for Uganda and why Manchester is the place to be (outside of Uganda of course). We are also bringing you the premiere of the A4 track on the record "Lost in Sound".

PREMIERE: Kawuku Sound - Lost In Sound

Future Classics & Forgotten Treasures — Selections for the Adventurous Music Listener (Founded in 2007 by Lexis)

Having grown up listening to Cumbia Villera, Argentinian folklore and Latin music,  B4RR4 ended up with quite a mixed spectrum of musical influence. 
Today, this translates into sets where he mix together the music that he loves: hard reggaeton beats, ethereal backdrops, brooding basslines and African music , all on top of a pronounced foot-shuffling house beat.
B4RR4 is no stranger to the ups-and-downs of the music scene. Though he loves playing in nightclubs, bars and special events, his love for music goes beyond the spectrum of mixing tunes. As a producer, drummer, and promoter, he has found plenty of ways to express himself musically.
