Mali Foli Coura
BKO
“BKO is from Mali, and these three letters are those of the airport code of Bamako. Other than that they are not dedicated to staying in their country, nor do they cling to traditions or conventions. The music of the Bambara hunters crosses that of the Mandingo-speaking griots, and their meeting is electronic, as you can hear on this latest tracks of theirs, Tangwanana.” (Les Inrocks) Melodious, dense, rhythmic, urgent, and, despite their eclecticism, fervently African!

More great black music from the other side of the planet. Out of Manchester, England, the Dub Smugglers are no strangers to playing their own high energy productions in lively DJ sets and creating unforgettable vibes. They are also attempting to progress sound system culture in their own way, building one of the finest sounding, hand built sound systems that you will find anywhere. The sound system creates a strong sub bass along with crisp clear detail.

A World of Masks
The Heliocentrics
The Heliocentrics are a London-based psychedelic jazz collective with roots in the ‘90s, combining funk, jazz, psych and library influences based around drummer and producer Malcolm Catto, Bassist Jake Ferguson, Guitarist Adrian Owusu and multi-instrumentalist Jack Yglesias. Here we hear them enhanced by the haunting voice of Barbara Patkowa. „ Face-melting psychedelia opens up the album as Patkova, backed by ominous arpeggios and electronic squeaks, goes from a murmur to a shout. In four minutes, she reaches total abandon, and it sets the tone for the rest of the album, where anything can happen – as long as it’s in a minor key.” (Adriane Pontecorvo)
