So Shifty

Along with being some of the hottest (and nicest) producers in the carnival destruction game, Hamburg’s So Shifty are also some of the most generous. They’ve insanley just given away their faultless catalogue of remixes and original tracks in one handy Soundcloud so you can now grab the lot like Christmas never finished. Vocals come from too many to mention heavy hitters like Busy Signal to their brilliantly twanging Walshy Fire co-produced remix of Vegas’s ‘Bruk It Down’ can’t fail to light up the moodiest party or day.

EXCLUSIVE…Watch out for a very special So Shifty x Ghetto Bassquake project releasing later this year.

Close Connections – 3 Zero: The Best of Machel Mix

The New Year has arrived and so has Soca Season! What better way to kick of 2013 than with over 70 of  Machel Montano’s hits in one mix from Brooklyn-based Close Connections. Machel Montano has been in the soca business since he was a child and he has a back catalogue of over 30 years of hits. If you need a crash course in soca this mix is a pretty good start, as it features examples of both groovy and power soca. Machel won both the Groovy Soca and Power Soca prizes at the International Soca Monarch competition last year and we are expecting big things from him this year too.

Stylo G ‘Press Up’

I’m a big fan of Stylo G as well as hotta than hot German producers So Shifty, so this new collaboration is a welcome release. I never knew that Stylo happens to be the son of legendary Jamaican deejay Poison Chang. On this new single, they have paid homage to Poison’s Press Up track with a new version for 2012. Its a bomb and drops on German label Supersonic Sound on December 5th.

Wormfood Afro Special @ London Remixed This Saturday

Very excited to be playing at this with the Palm City Social crew, Moroka & A.J. Holmes. We’ll be alongside the ever excellent selections from Awesome Tapes From Africa (who really does DJ with tapes and kills it) and a couple of cool new London bands who in my opinion are some of the most exciting UK/African bands around.

I’ve wanted to see this lot for a while. Electric Jalaba are led by Moroccan gnawa master, Simo Lagnawi and backed by Soundspecies who collectively bring a Battlesesque artrock twist on the North African gnawa sound in a very good way.

We played some records with Afriquoi at a festival this summer when they tore the roof off. Members come from Congo, Gambia, Bostswana and the UK, and combine live instruments, electronics and vocal effects to create a live battering tranced out groove. This one features Kudaushe from Harare.

Tiger’s Milk Records

Readers here know we like Peruvian music a lot so I was happy to see a brand new London-based label spring up specialising in the country’s under appreciated sounds brought to you by one of the dudes behind Sound Way, now on a new venture with the launch of Tiger’s Milk Records.

Their first release is an excellent 7″ vinyl / digital double artist single from Paco Zambrano Y Su Combo backed by a track from Juaneco Y Su Combo – Both bumping Amazonica surf funk Chicha jams we love. Check the tracks out below and if you like, you can purchase here.

Sonido Martines – 1100 / 2200 V Cumbia mix 2013

When it comes to cumbia, Sonido Martines’s selections rarely disappoint. This one is perfect to warm you up as the nights get longer. Based in La Paz, Bolivia for the last five years, he regularly plays out and is working on his own productions.

He tells me..

‘This mixtape includes all vinyl tracks of different Colombian and Mexican cumbias styles, i’ve tried to make a half hour journey from the Afrocolombian roots of cumbia to the massive tunes played in Mexico city´s bailes sonideros. I hope you enjoy it!!’.

The downloads are maxed out but watch out for an official forthcoming mix cd release of it backed with a mix from DJ Rupture.
