Skeletons - Marathon Man

Been having a huge hankering for anything and everything African the last week or so, to the point where this afternoon I bought this on a whim during my work break this afternoon.

 Hope to be able to have you guys round when I get a pre-amp for my record player so we can have a few drinks and enjoy some good records (this one in particular), for lovers of afrobeat, its everything that you will probably know and love about the genre, for those who have yet to dig deeper into the amazing rhythm and soul of African music, then I see this as a pretty great place to start (also highly recommend the Africa 100 playlist - Thanks Tom!). For the afrocentrics mentioned earlier, think raw, Mulatu-esque percussion doused in a concoction of funk fueled by blazing horns, tight percussive rhythms and a fair amount of dub delay.

Soul of Sydney Blockparty - DJ Rahaan


Was absolutely devastated to miss it, so you can imagine the joy and excitement that surged through my being upon this popping up today. Disco, funk and house heads, this is essential listening, and as usual you're gonna need some room to get groovy.
