NYC-based producer Henry Cardenas aka Cabo Blanco has been hard at work pushing the Big Apple's hip-hop legacy by fusing it with tropical-flavored electronica and house beats, with excitingly hybrid results. From dembow 2Pac bootlegs to neon R&B and straight-up trap beats for the club, Cabo Blanco's got it all.
 
In Santo Diablo the tropical heat is turned up to 11 as the producer samples and cuts his way through Caribbean music, layering these festive Latin sounds over the hard-hitting trap beats that are filling up dancefloors across the globe.
 
If you're looking for that extra spice to season your 140bpm sets or just searching for the latest exciting hybrid coming out of the tropical bass melting pot, then look no further. Cabo Blanco's got you covered.

First of all congrats to Malice and Mario Sweet for all their hard work and putting together a really great album. The Sweets are back with a deluxe edition release of their first debut album "Happy 2 Year". This release comes with remixes and a few bonus songs.Here's a remix of my favorite song off the album called "Date Night".

I still can't believe this song was recorded 37 years ago ! I was given access to the original masters with all its separately recorded 16 tracks and everything sounded remarkably fresh. The drum beat as it was played by Earl Young became the blueprint not only of the Disco beat but later of the House beat. You can still here many elements of its groove on current productions. It was a huge privilege for me to remix the Love I Lost. Many musical and vocal sections were buried deep in the original 73 mix and i could put them back at the forefront. This is a snippet of the second half of my 11+ minutes remix.

Damian "Jr Gong" Marley - Make It Bun Dem (Bruce Missile`s Stop That, Skrillex Blend)

Soundway Records return to Nigeria once more with ‘Tunji Oyelana: A Nigerian Retrospective 1966 – 79’ – a lovingly compiled anthology of one of Nigeria’s most revered sons.

During the golden age of Nigerian music in the 1970s, as thousands of records were produced in a wide spectrum of styles and marketed to an immense audience of ardent consumers, very few people—including the producers of the music themselves—seriously entertained the possibility that any of these popular entertainments could be considered as “Art.”

Enter the multifaceted artist Tunji Oyelana. Equal parts singer-songwriter, actor, bandleader, dramatist, comedian and academic, Oyelana elevated the realm of pop music by infusing it with the poetic storytelling of Yoruba folklore. Backed by his crack backing group, The Benders (named for their ability to traverse–and blend a variety of styles) Oyelana blended the fashionable sounds of highlife, afrobeat, afrorock, funk, calypso, juju and reggae and transformed them into something timeless and utterly unique.

Following on from the success of their debut LP 'La Belle Vie' from earlier this year, the French duo have been busy in the studio producing La Beat Tape. 20 tracks deep, the release is aimed squarely at the DJs, with a succession of guaranteed party-starters. This is rounded out with some typically quirky interludes, jazzy beat excursions and blissed out trip hop.
Souleance are producer Fulgeance (Musique Large / One Handed Music) and DJ Soulist (What The Funk Paris?). Since releasing their debut EP (Le Monde) back in 2009, they have built a solid reputation for their idiosyncratic take on modern beats. With fans including Gilles Peterson, Danny Breaks, Lefto and Mr Thing, their debut album was the culmination of 3 years of beat-making, touring, partying and drinking too much Pimms. Whilst other producers would rest on their laurels after releasing their debut, Souleance got straight back into the studio to produce La Beat Tape - their sole aim to create tracks that they would DJ with themselves. The result is 20 tracks of pure dancefloor fire peppered with a smattering of chilled, lounge tracks in classic Souleance style.
Like any classic beat tape, variety is the key, and Souleance do not disappoint. La Beat Tape takes in heavy Turkish breaks (Sauce Samourai), Hammond funk (L'insouleance), tripped out western cinematics (Tout Doux), brooding jazz (Kipseli Street Interlude), Shadow-esque breaks (Strongest Love), Just Blaze-style horn-heavy hip hop (Como Estan Bitches), 80s synth-hop (Cocktail Time) and much much more.
The release is available as a budget-priced download with a limited edition 7" containing four tracks that we feel will be most useful for the DJs. With artwork by long-term collaborator Alice Dufay, it's sure to join their previous vinyl releases as a genuine collectors item.

This was a version of an Edmundo Arias song that we recorded with the Combo Barbaro in 2006 at the Heliocentrics studio in London. Can't remember this ever coming out.

A short expedition into the much overlooked tipica cumbia sound of Panamá

The heartache, melancholy and joy in the Panamá Tipica sound is hard to match and like no other to experience. It comes from a rich background of regional musical traditions, carnival rivalry and hotbeds like the legendary 'Festival en Guarare'. As I understand it, Panamanian cumbia was first played on violin until the arrival of accordions on the Isthmus, most early acordeoneros were violinists first and foremost. This mixtape comprises of some of the best 45s from the Herrera and Los Santos provinces, from the mid 50s through to late 60s. Over the last few years I've had the good fortune to meet several of these wonderful artists. Featured here: Dorindo, Papi Brandao, Oswaldo,Fito Espina, Ulpiano, Ceferino and more... (photo compliments of Papi Brandao). Viva Panamá!

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

This is a selection of a handful of Angolan 45s that have proven their spirit & longevity in my record collection. Here's to the slap-echo guitars, scratchy dikanza, hope, aspiration and musical beauty that flowered from Luanda. This sound has long informed the systems of Barranquilla and parallels cumbia, samba & compas in sonic ancestral synchronicity.
