Sydney-based new afro-funk formation THE LIBERATORS can certainly be said to be off to a smoldering start; with their debut gig taking place at Russ Dewbury’s famous A Night At The Jazz Rooms, the liner notes of their debut album being written by Antibalas frontman Amayo (Daptone Records / Ropeadope / Afrosound Records), and the patronage of DJs such as Gilles Peterson (BBC 1), this group can count on some serious support! Not only does this 10 piece outfit include members of Dojo Cuts among its division, but for their first full-length they also call on the vocal talents of guests such as Jojo Kuo (Fela Kuti / Daktaris / Antibalas), Roxie Ray (Dojo Cuts / Underbelly) and Ghanaian-born Afro Moses. The result is an incredible set of new afrobeat tunes and funky jazz-dance grooves proving the masterful musicianship of this band.

The self-titled debut effort by The Liberators is a solid example of the type of new afro-inspired funk that is rivaling the greatness of classics from 70s Africa. With a fierce array of super heavy guitars, percussion, and horns – all put together with a range of sounds that really portray the full spectrum of their style – The Liberators serve up some sizzling treats! From opening stormer “Multiculture”, to the kicking rhythm of “Rags To Riches”, the uplifting “Liberation” or the jazzy inflections of “Denga” featuring legendary drummer JoJo Kuo on vocals, this album is a tightly delivered assortment of funky afrobeat tunes with a jazz-dance flavor. Turn on your air-conditioning people, the heat is on!

There are hip-hop scratch tracks and then there’s the blistering Class Dismissed by Bankrupt Europeans on Nobody-Buys-Records.

DJ Muzzell provides the sensational cuts on Class Dismissed, the scratch track to end all scratch tracks. Being a digger’s dream, with samples and breaks galore, this follows in the footsteps of the classic cut-n-paste Lessons tracks, and after Phill Most Chill heard it after we thought it was finished couldn’t help but make a guest appearance on it! 

Side Two sees New Jersey’s finest Twizz and his gruff-voiced rhyming partner Mr Rich describe their Plans for the Day over a classic Bankrupt Europeans grimy head-nodder of a beat. This time the inimitable DJ Grazzhoppa takes cares of the cuts
