Blip Discs (@blip-discs) have wasted no time in following up their impressive maiden release from O'Flynn with another corker. Double sider Wrong Guanco/Shekere comes from label chieftain, Tom Blip - two slabs of afro house/techno with heaps of groove. With it, a loose thread is beginning to emerge: a solid percussive core being a strict must for any Blip package. “Wrong Guanco” pips the b-side by a smidgen, founded on the chops of a 70s solo conga player and bulked up tenfold by rootsy, drum-led add-ons from Leeds-based percussionist Sam Bell.

The chant was one of pain and desperation as he stood amidst the village of shanty huts. This was a place which he had called home for so long but now as he stood staring at the burnt out town that surrounded him he had never felt a stronger sense of disconnect. His heart ached for his missing lover, she had vanished into the shadowy depths of the forest which surrounded the once peaceful town. He shouted into the night, calling her name, "Tabanka" he cried, again and again.

Shakarchi & Stranéus inhabit a secret place in the universe of music, one existing at the intersection of Scandinavian poplands, Hisingen forest raves and outernational placelessness.

Faik Shakarchi and Daniel Stranéus famously started making beats together in the Gothenburg tapas-joint coat check where they both worked as clerks. Their now 10-year old friendship is the story of legends, their sparse vinyl output the secret love of deep house 12'' enthusiasts round the globe – the warm, vibrant sounds found on those records a stark contrast to the stripped-down efficiency of their marathon DJ sets, frequently heard within the more nefarious parts of Swedish nightlife.

The duo has also been a part of Studio Barnhus since the very beginning, first letting us into their strange yet cozy world with the Dödskallar och korallrev EP in 2010, effectively turning what was then a one-release operation into a Record Label.

The distinctive sound of that early material (described by one Discogs commenter as “enlightened, naive future dub for children”) has been expanded upon and further defined on their debut album Steal Chickens from Men and the Future from God, its 12 cuts lovingly selected from a plethora of works floating in and out of makeshift studios from Storgatan to Gamlestan over the last 7 years. The record took its final form at Nacksving, same place where recent albums from Talaboman and Kornél Kovács were sonically perfected in cahoots with mix engineer Matt Karmil.

Steal Chickens from Men and the Future from God is released on all digital platforms, as CD and as DJ friendly double vinyl on March 23rd 2018. The label and the artists wish to thank Statens kulturråd for their endless patience during the creation of this masterpiece.

Shakarchi & Stranéus - Hessingen

Alt-J - Breezeblocks (Romare R∆mix)

8 whole years since my last release on vinyl and first time for an african tune, so this is kinda special for me. "Olofofu" is a fast paced, nigerian afro-disco with stomping beats, a prominent saxo and powerfull vocals.
Out 29/6 on @bonfidodisques
Available on limited edition 12" vinyl and all digital stores.
