THIS SONG IS SUCH A VIBE. At first it sounds like a chill rainy afternoon where everyone is chilling inside by themselves. Then everyone decides to come together an appreciate life, by going outside or playing games indoors.

mix of stuff that makes me wanna move, listen on shuffle for best experience.

Welcome aboard for the 4th instalment of Africa Airways,  fasten your seat belts and enjoy the trip.

It's just over 3 years since we launched the Africa Seven label in Paris and London.  Our first release back then (Airways One) is still our best seller and had to be repressed 4 times so far.  Forty or so releases later it is time to take to the clouds again.  Being the unimaginative bunch we are, the fourth installment of our African sky filled musical cornucopia is called African Airways Four (Disco Funk Touchdown - 1976 - 1983).  This time around all tunes have the Disco flavour.  As ever it's all about the music...  the skies are wide and funky and the air is filled with musical goodness.  Your flight is about to leave.

Your flight opens with a punchy disco funk assault from Paris based Cameroonian Tala AM. Here with his drive bass and guitar funk riff 1981 stomper "Get Up Tchmassi".  Next up and staying with the Cameroonian connection is Eko with "Bowaa Mba Ngebe".  The lyrics talk of accomplishing the things in life for your family and yourself. The sweeping strings and gloriously uplifting music matching the sentiments of the words perfectly.    Uta Bella began singing in the 60's and by the time disco hit in the 70's she was already established a singer in her native Cameroon, here the locked on groove of "Nassa Nassa" is a perfect snapshot of the sound and the African disco times.  

Charly Kingson (cousin of Manu Dibango) is next with his "Nimele Bolo".  Recorded in Germany with the cream of Munich's session musicians the bass synth is out in force on this one.  Punchy brass, rock solid grooves and jazzy Rhodes add all the right ingredients for a fine disco synth excursion.   Next is the musical heavyweight from Cameroon cousin Manu with his 1978 Disco, jazz funk masterpiece "Sun Explosion".  

Side two opens with a blast of Elvis Kemayo and his piano and guitar funk bomb "Biram". Next Momo Joseph gives us "Africain".  Best known in France as an actor, this disco funk groover was released on his self pressed LP "War For Ground" in 1983.  A true gem indeed. Nigerian, ex Funkees member Jake Sollo is next with "Tinni Yanana".  Recorded in the UK in 83 its slick and smooth with a hint of "at the car wash" groove. Pierre Didy Tchakounte follows on with his soul funk 'golden years' style groover "Soul Magabe".  Produced by one of our favourite Parisian producers Slim Pezin.  We close off our journey with the tribal chant disco-funk special from the Monstars "Funny Saga".

Ladies and Gentleman, we have landed at your destination, please remain seated until the aircraft has reached the terminal. We look forward to welcoming you aboard Africa Airways again soon.

DJ Marky is really ramping up the pressure from his Innerground imprint, this time in the shape of a release from the man himself.

Launching with Should I, we get a beautifully constructed track, custom-built for summer and screaming INNERGROUND from start to finish. A leisurely intro quickly gives way to a sublime bassline littered with the kind of vocal that has become synonymous with the Brazilian marque. 

Next up we have Love Break, which levels up the energy and intensity without breaking from it’s “liquid” stride. Another well-thought-out production that has many, if not all, of the elements you might look for in a Drum & Bass track – liquid-tinged darkness that has the uncanny ability to not only move you, but surprise you at the same time.

“Should I/Love Break” continues DJ Marky’s tradition of creating some of the most seminal tracks in the genre and his knack for building releases drenched in summer vibes all year round.

Available to download exclusively from @beatport 22nd August 2019.
All download stores 6th September.
Streaming from 22nd August 2019.

**Pre-order Part 1 or Part 2 to receive an exclusive, instant free download of Zero T’s VIP Remix of ‘Truth’.**


The 2017 seminal album from Goldie 'The Journey Man' is about to receive the remix treatment with Goldie himself having invited a host of artists to express their take on his third studio album. Described as Goldie's 'magnum opus' and his legacy LP, this reworks package breathes new life into an already incredible body of work. Drawing in both established names and those dipping outside of the drum & bass sphere, it's given a different dimension with every unique offering.

With names like Digital & Spirit leading the charge, paying homage to the late Spirit's heritage whilst bringing Digital's authority into the mix for 'I Think of You', the standards are already set in that first cut. Later contributions on part 1 come from names like Zero T, Jon Dixon, Phase, Artificial Intelligence, Mako, DieMantle, Mathew Jonson and Subjective (Goldie and James Davidson).

Meanwhile, part 2 draws first for the chaotic tones of Grey Code, juxtaposed by the work of Calibre, then followed by the likes of Jubei, Jon Dixon ft. Mike Banks, DieMantle again (this time with a faster version), Total Science, Dom & Roland, Jay Clarke and Lenzman. From beginning to end, there's an incredible array of talent.

'The Journey Man Remixes' draws for artists who have made their impact on Metalheadz and those who are currently grafting their places within the wider electronic scene, portraying the abundance of influences and tastes of Goldie.
