XX, Pingipung. A Record Label Turns 20.
This is the opening track for our anniversary release "XX, Pingipung".

2002-2022, that’s 20 years of Pingipung! The German record label celebrates its anniversary with exclusive tracks by a fine selection of artists from the label roster as well as new names. Instead of looking back at the classics, Pingipung chose to compile a kaleidoscopic preview of possible future directions for the label. 
The line-up features playfully melancholic songs by Museum Of No Art, Peter Power or The Notwist, an excursion to the desert by RVDS or a psychedelic take on Dub in Tolouse Low Trax’ remix for the Ainu singer Umeko Ando. Artists such as Anadol, Y Bülbül, MD Pallavi & Andi Otto, M.RUX, Sven Kacirek, Schlammpeitziger, Peter Presto and F.S.Blumm are already well known to the Pingipung audience. They contribute exclusive new tracks, adding to their existing output on the label.  
It’s impossible to file this compilation under a genre, which is exactly the case with Pingipung in general - bull’s eye. The collection of tracks is pressed in the perfect format to match the Pingipung jubilee: A 2x10’’ vinyl in a gatefold sleeve.

Nickodemus & Barzo - Show Your Power (feat. Zongo Abongo)

A remix I made for Folamour a while ago. The track is called "Birds" featuring the vocals of the great Emmanuel Jal. Stayed unreleased for quite some time so it's time to let it go. A bit of a bummer that it didn't get a proper release because I really like this one. Been playing this around a lot, so you probably may have heard it at my sets. 

If you want a high quality file, follow me on Instagram and I will send you a WAV :)

02-Roots Run Deep Feat King James

A dark, powerful Roots Reggae anthem about empires fading and people rising.
The rhythm moves like a slow march — deep bass, heavy drums and a pulse that feels like unrest turning into strength.
The vocals tell of truth breaking through the smoke, of systems crumbling, of voices that refuse to be silenced.
The chorus rises like a warning flame — heavy, emotional, unfiltered.
Every verse carries fire, every chant echoes resistance, and the song grows from quiet tension into full uprising spirit.
A soundtrack of downfall and awakening —
ashes in their parade, but flames in our hearts.
Alan-B-K – The Human · Art of Sound

Ashes in Their Parade

Girma Beyene was one of the arrangers who made the Ethiopian music of the Golden Era different than the music of today. He was a lyricist, a music writer, an arranger, a vocalist, an accomplished pianist and finally a bandleader. To most, if any name comes to mind with the word arranger, it is probably that of Mulatu Astatke. Yet, according to Ethiopiques Series producer Francis Falceto*, in the heyday of vinyl records, Girma Beyene is credited to having arranged close to 65 titles, compared to Mulatu's 40. Girma left a handful of recordings as a vocalist, but it was as an arranger and pianist that he is fondly remembered today.

@rockymarsiano's first album, Meu Kamba, felt like the very natural, spontaneous reaction between a serious hip hop head, an MPC and a deep collection of Lusophone African records. Upon its release the album immediately drew loads of attention, and Rocky Marsiano quickly hit the road across Europe.

Performing as a sound system with musicians naturally led Rocky Marsiano towards this second volume, which follows a very different approach:

"Meu Kamba was made very impulsively - if I felt a track worked, if there was a good balance to it, I didn't go much further with the production because I wanted it to sound raw.

On this new volume I did exactly the opposite: every single track was experimented on, its possibilities tested. So this time around there's a lot more production on every track: bass lines, retro synths, guitar licks, extra vocals, different drum patterns and textures...

It took almost two years to pick the original songs reinterpreted here. Months of a musical journey which led towards a lot of music and influences from Guinea Bissau, which wasn't a part of the first Meu Kamba. "With this second volume I want to close the cycle, finish a story: my hommage to music from Lusophone Africa."

Rocky Marsiano - "Bera Bera"

Based out of San Francisco, Extra Classic is a unique live band formed with a keen appreciation of vintage reggae & vintage sounds. The aesthetic, and certainly the skilled method of their production, is an ode to the art of that classic style as referenced to the term coined by the Cool Ruler himself. Recording in their own studio, Nopal Recording, the band employs a taster’s choice of analog equipment and is devotedly tracked, spliced and mixed in-house direct to tape. However, as the group’s name itself implies, there is a dose of something extra and new in this swirling mixture of space echo, heavy phase, and emotive, psychedelic California-soul. 

Built upon the rock of an early-era dancehall swing, their first single in conjunction with Brooklyn-based imprint Names You Can Trust entitled In This Life, is a perfect slice of lover’s rock gone sideways, a decidedly left-coast piece of roots and bliss driven by Adrianne’s lovely lead vocals and the steady, dusty echoes of the locked in players. Presented in the traditional format with a B-side version as per NYCT fashion, the dub mix incorporates a soothing dose of synare beams and underwater instrumental dreams.
