Barry White - You're My High

Out of the primordial chaos of pandemic and two years since their last full-length outing SUPERSAN, those sassy purveyors of World Dance of the highest calibre return with a bang. Duo’s 3rd studio album soon to be released by Boom Selectah Records promises to turn heads and perk ears of the aficionados of Afro House but also has a potential to spill out from the niche and conquer the hearts of wider audiences.
The album titled ‘Little Dakar’ is’ the labour of love of two long time collaborators from Greece, Kostas and Valantis. This time their quest for musical purity and honesty is enriched and enhanced by stirring alliances. Scattered inside the audio-tapestry of this exotic wax flower you will find the vocals from ‘the voice of Senegal’ Jefree, and enchanting strumming from the fret of George Koltsiou. While rich traditions of Senegali music are particularly evident (and reflected in the album title), ‘Little Dakar’ goes far and beyond the sounds of a steamy Dakar Disco dancefloor. Finely tuned ear is in for a treat and could easily travel the distances between Senegal, Angola, Ghana, Uganda and Mali to name but a few. But you don’t have to be an expert to fall in love with this album. The multidimensional colours of African musical heritage are easily accessible to a novice too as the references to better known House and Funk traditions could be heard loud and clear throughout the record.
What makes ‘Little Dakar’ stand out as a clear winner is the up-tempo, dancefloor-oriented approach that SUPERSAN chose to pursue on their third studio album. With ease and panache, the duo throws our way some insane musical chops, while keeping the mood Sunny and vocal hooks joyful. The spectre of moods with which SUPERSAN bombard us is impressive but be it the epic retro-tinged drive of ‘Diem Rek’ or somewhat more sombre, afro-gothic yet seductive push of ‘BLZ’, the hooks of the ‘Little Dakar’ are unmistakably sharp and are sure to act as a call to arms on any discerning dancefloor.

After a wave of great international feedback, radio airplay and support by well-known producers like Kid Loco (FR) or Rob Smith (Smith & Mighty / RSD / UK) for Core Fields debut single, we would like to introduce to you his second single “The Fox Explores”.

With his second single for Switchstance Recordings Core Fields showcases epic drums, beautiful guitars and sax melodies that form an infectiously groovy song called “The Fox Explores”.

His style can be described as a very warm and groovy sort of Downtempo, Trip Hop or Lofi Beats. But he also has this specific melodic tincture that he adds to his songs that make them so catchy and open a beautiful sunshiny landscape in the listener´s head. His music truly paints pictures.

Core Fields´ debut EP “In Ballet With Day And Night” will be released on 09.09.2022.

Tujivinjari is Swahili for “let’s explore” or “let’s stay curious”. The infectious vocals are supported by Afro-driven grooves, an infectious guitar melody and light rave synths.

1) Tell us a bit about yourself and your record collection.

I’m Simon Hill part of the psychedelic soul band MNP. Also playing bass in The Palms and a bit of everything in Beta Hector. I also make animation by the name of Manalishi. Life ain’t too shabby. I’ve been collecting vinyl for 25 years. Help!

2) 45/7 is all about celebrating the 7". Can you tell us a bit about what you love about the format.

A 45 is condensed goodness and love.

3) One hour of vinyl goodness... can you talk us through your selection for your 45/7 mix?

The mix is half stuff I’ve bought during fun times in lockdown. I just grabbed a shoebox and pulled out the rest of my babies. Some of them are filthy rotten and some are just pure beauty.

4) Where can people catch you / listen to your music? 

The Palms rehearse in a park somewhere in Hove every other Friday night.
Myself and Toby from Mnp deejay monthly in The Jolly Brewer in Brighton but we’re waiting for them to open!
