For their next release, @sofrito take us to the Côte D'Ivoire with a deep hybrid of soukous and highlife, recorded in Abidjan in 1975 by the mysterious Bazaré D. Pablo. Thumping percussion, generous shakers, intricate guitar, ethereal vocals and a solid bassline add up to a frenetic and energetic hip-shaker.

Bazaré D. Pablo et Orchestre - Nassima (Worldwide Premiere)

Brand new 12” on Wonderwheel from Italian producer DJ Khalab, previously notable for a string of buzzy solo releases on Clap!Clap!’s Black Acre Records. Khalab teams up with prolific Malian master musician and Griot singer Baba Sissoko for an exploration into deep, minimal experimental African/Electronic sounds. On the “A” side “Kumu” is a dark, glitchy four to the floor track with bubbling synths, live percussion and Baba Sissoko’s unmistakeable voice,  while German producer Harmonious Thelonious aka Stefan Schwander (Antonelli Electr., Repeat Orchestra, Rhythm Maker) stretches out the tracks inherent minimalism while tastefully beefing up the drums, adding synth flourishes and well timed drops. On the flip, “Kumu” is a more acoustic vocal and Xalam driven track with stuttering electronic growls and groans and minimal percussion. London based Ibibio Sound Machine (Soundway Records) brings the funk into the mix with keyboard stabs, guitars, and a  super catchy bassline and plenty of synthesizer explorations. 

DJ Khalab & Baba Sissoko’s debut album will be out late fall on Wonderwheel Recordings.

Sangare (Nickodemus Remix) by Vieux Farka Touré

Soundway's at it again! This time with a brand new album from South London's Huw Bennet under his newly established Susso alias. The New Keira LP features music which is inspired by (and directly samples) the magnificent sounds of the Mandinka people, which he recorded during a recent trip to Gambia.

The tracks are composed entirely from original source material, field recordings and Huw’s talents as a multi-instrumentalist; performing tuned percussion from the region including the Mandinka Balafon, Kutiringding drum, as well as drawing on his skill as a professional upright / electric bassist. One of the tracks which best exemplifies his contemporary electronic sound, whilst still paying homage to a traditional Gambian aesthetic has to be Ansumana. It's definitely been a shop favourite ever since the good guys at Soundway sent it over and we can't wait to get our hands on this beautiful release when it arrives next month. Reserve your copy now ahead of the official release next month: j.mp/KeiraLP
