If you want to throw a successful block party, you need to get the sound, the system and the beats just right!' Mo' Horizons have done exactly that with their new album. 'Mo' Horizons and the Banana Soundsystem' is about putting the groove in place, as entertaining and profound as possible: 'We were touring to such an extent that we were nearly going bananas,' Mo' Horizons creative mastermind Ralf Droesemeyer recollects the last few years. 'It was as much fun as it was a colourful trip exploring the music of the world.

Identify With Your Root (Which One You De?)

Here’s your first taster of Afrobeat icon Dele Sosimi re-imagined in dub by two production masters, Prince Fatty and Nostalgia 77. ‘Dance Together’ is a never before released track from the same recording session that brought you Dele’s most recent album ‘You No Fit Touch Am’.

"It was such a rush to have Prince Fatty and Nostalgia 77 work their magic on Dele's material. With Fatty bringing the spirit of 80s On-U Sound, Mikey Dread and Mad Professor, and Ben Nostalgia having mixed Dele's original LP, this was always going to be something very special." Dom Servini (Wah Wah 45s)

'You No Fit Touch Am', Dele Sosimi's first full-length album in almost a decade, was released by Wah Wah 45s in May 2015. It represented where Dele is today - something of an untouchable force in the music scene that he has always been such a vital part of. The album provided a musical representation of Dele’s strong socio-political opinions, as well as delivering classic song-writing that could have come straight out of 1970s Lagos.

Born in Hackney, East London, but soon to return to his parents’ native Nigeria at the age of four, Dele Sosimi was schooled and raised in Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s shadow at the height of early 70s Afrobeat. Having been chosen by Fela to join his band at somewhat of a tender age, he was still a young man when sharing Fela’s Glastonbury stage in 1984, and became both Musical Director for both Fela’s Egypt 80 and FemiKuti’s Positive Force. After Fela’s passing in 1997, Dele went on to concentrate on his own solo career and, with diligent patience, carved out his own Afrobeat crown. In London, where he now resides, his Afrobeat Vibration all-nighters are charged with his passion, labours and his unrelenting spirit.

this was the track that inspired me to start putting my own stuff out. i'd always been playing around with tracks and had released some tracks on Punchline, but i don't think that they wanted to do the crazy thing i was doing, but when played them out in clubs people were enjoying it. this track really did get people moving, at a time when dancehall wasn't something that you could easily drop in a dance. The orignal by Mark Clark is called "take me"

Premiere: GUTS - Se Nou Menm (Vocal Version feat Hippomène)

Matasuna Records starts the new year 2020 with a brilliant release, featuring two contemporary tracks by Paris based Afrobeat band Batunga & The Subprimes, available for the first time on vinyl.

Batunga & The Subprimes was founded in Paris in 2009 by musicians from different backgrounds, united by the will to mix traditional African music with other elements (Latin, Jazz, Second Line and even Rock) and to bring this explosive mix on the streets & on stage. After many shows all over Europe and beyond, their first official album Man in the Field was published in 2017, followed by their EP Let dem In in late 2019. Matasuna has chosen two extraordinary cuts of these self-released albums to release them on vinyl for the first time.

Gates Of Ouantou from their EP is a great tune that sets the bar for contemporary Afrobeat and has all the ingredients for a timeless classic: the arrangement, the instrumentation and the interplay of the seven musicians in the song are excellent and will immediately draw you into its spell. A real gem and great tune!

Man in the Field on flipside is a cut of their first official album. Unusual is the use of a banjo in an Afrobeat song but not surprising that this fits in very well and also shows that classical structures can be broken up and developed in a new approach/context. Another great piece of this extraordinary band that has been operating under the radar - until now!

After their brilliant debut on Resense, SoulBrigada returns with two new cuts. Following the proven formula, two classic Funk & Soul joints get the SoulBrigada treatment to fire up the dancefloors again.

'Help' is a Northern Soul gem from the midwest - from 1969. The raw & funky sound of the song follows with great perfection a JB style, which is complemented by the sweet soul voice of the singer. The SoulBrigada-Edit focuses even more on the percussive side of the song and the extension provides a real dancefloor filler.

'Love U Baby' is a great Soultune, which was also released in 1969 by a vocal duo from the southwest of the USA. The song stands out because of its funkiness and the great interaction of the two singers. The rework provides the right dose of funk with additional drums, repetitive editing and expansion.

Worldwide Award winners First Word Records are pleased to welcome back Souleance; a duo that have been releasing music with us for a decade now, and triumphantly returning to the fold with some brand new music for 2020. This track is the first taste of their forthcoming vinyl / digital EP, 'Les Mouches', their first release for First Word since the acclaimed beat-tape 'French Cassette' from early last year.

Expanding on the original Normand-Parisian super-duo of Fulgeance and Soulist, the Souleance crew now includes Vincent Choquet on synths and Guillaume Rossel on drums as part of their live outfit. Whilst sonically their style remains unchanged, the formation into a full band sees the Souleance sound become bigger, more realised and more formidable than ever.
This first track 'Aquarelle' (meaning watercolours), contains more layers than a Bob Ross painting. With its various elements splayed across its aural canvas, it's four minutes of funk presented in Souleance's inimitable way. Shuffling around the 110bpm mark, this piano-lead piece has an almost latin jazz feel in places, accompanied by a hefty bassline, assorted synths and subtle scratches riding atop of a disco-tinged 4/4 beat. A groove marinated in nostalgia whilst managing to sound current, this is another dance-floor sure-shot from the French crew.

Previous support from: OkayPlayer, Bill Brewster, BBC 6 Music's Gilles Peterson, Tom Ravenscroft & Huey Morgan, and various DJs on Worldwide FM, NTS & Le Mellotron, 'Aquarelle' is released June 19th 2020 digitally worldwide, whilst the EP 'Les Mouches' will follow in early September on vinyl.

Aquarelle

a collection of tracks from the NoisyBunch studio over 2003-2006… this includes releases on Noisybunch and Punchline and stuff that we played out at dances around London, including Cherry Pie (333 &amp; Cargo), Sweet to the Belly (Herbal), Hoxton Bar &amp; Grill, Heatwave bashes all over the capitol, Dragon Bar, Mother Bar etc etc.
There’s a 36 min mix of about 30+ tracks further down the page if you want a quick tour of the bashment blend madness. ...Elephant Man &amp; the Pretenders, Beanie on a ska beat, ragga Bobby McFerrin, grimy disco dancehall, ragga funk and babyshambles bashment??! Seriously… And, of course, that lovely few months when people like Annie Mac and Zane Lowe were playing us on the radio and “Step Pon Dem” was getting onto compilations and mixtapes. I still hear on mixtapes occasionally… I think that bootlegs have been pressed a few times too. Hell, i didn't pay royalties, so what right do i have to complain? 

I’ve now moved on to other projects (Kristi Krisis/ KK on DT, and Sunday Sample Crunch and radio shows) but I thought I’d pull it all together to keep a record… each track has a little description and history, so if you were boogling to our sound, enjoy!
