Kush Arora and MC ZULU team up for the second in the KAP series of combining dancehall vocalists with the future of African electronic music, this time making versions with Kuduro and Azonto flavored sounds. After years of following these Angolan and Ghana based movements, these two longtime collaborators and touring mates have decided to give their own interpretation of the highly influential sound. Earlier this year they headlined the first night of Reggae On The River, and have shared the stage across North America.

This one is particularly special as Arka originates from the same home town as BBB’s label boss; the overcast, former industrial power and tea drinking centre of England, Leicester. Despite its size and history Leicester is not considered one of the most glamorous UK cities, and its this underground, angular quality that informs Arka's powerful debut ‘Severan’.

Like an abandoned factory floor remembering its former glory, ‘Severan’ reverberates through the decaying walls bringing a forgotten zeal to the once proud heavy machinery and cracked walls. Clanking percussion fused with cavernous beats creates a fierce yet shadowy texture that radiates industrial might. ‘The Way’ picks up where Severan leaves off, only with a slightly more rounded flourish. The edges are still present but they are softened by a bouncing bassline, bright key stabs, evasive pads and an insistent vocal hook. 

Fierce yet alluring, another fine debut on BBB.

VIA CON ME is the latest single from one of Italy's hottest exports, SWINGROWERS. It's the 1st of a 3 part series called DO NOT COVER featuring classic cover versions from their live set. See the video with Audrey Hepburn here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vjU-EqwMSo

This track was originally recorded by PAOLO CONTE and has become something of a cult anthem. The lyrics roughly translated to English mean "Come away with me...".

The band first performed this as a surprise for their manager at their gig supporting CARAVAN PALACE at London KOKO in November 2012. You can hear the story in the mini documentary about that gig here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id-zyjjOplY
