Acid house afrobeat mix 2021-08-18

This week in the SYSTEM mix series we’ve invited Nigeria’s very own DJ YK Beats to supply a mixtape of high-tempo afrobeats and raw club material. With fractured resemblances to the pared-down anthemic melodies DJ Mujava’s ’Township Funk’, his inimitable hit ‘Dance Instrumental’ has kicked off a global dance craze, and is just the beginning for a producer who’s truly knows how to make the most out of minimal elements.

SYSTEM MIX 005: DJ YK Beats

DonJvnior Ft YoungCee - Shakara 🔥 {Prod By Jaama & Phonex)

For all those stuck at home or stressed out during these uncertain times, here’s an hour of uplifting music from Mali, Cuba and South Africa. Vusi Mahlasela, Alex Cuba, Afel Bocoum and Oumou Sangare have all known the travails of personal pain and political turmoil. And yet all find the strength and vision to create music that soothes and reassures even as it moves dancing feet. On this program, we hear fresh music and words from all four.

Produced by Banning Eyre and Sean Barlow.
