In a recent music video by producer and rapper LE1F (watch below) the camera pans from a larger-than-life ice cream sundae to what could be the crooning lovers of LE1F and his beau (they’re actually best friends), behind them a kaleidoscope of candy-colored Gotham City lights. Singing from a high-rise apartment in Manhattan, the two [...]

The Phantom – Night Game (Zeppy Zep Remix)
-
Artist:
Two summers ago we debuted Bartosz Kruczynski a.k.a. The Phantom‘s swirling, xylophone-tinged “Cambodia,” a track that eventually saw release on a Top Billin’ compilation of UK Funky that attempted to capitalize on the nascent genre. The compilation was OK, but Kruczynski’s participation was the highlight, and now after over a year of negotiating a proper [...]

Lamin Fofana – What Elijah Said EP/#Calypso Mix
Google “Lamin Fofana” and you may discover that I’ve been a Fofana proponent for the last year, giving his “Fatmata Was Here” mixtape the shine back in August of ’09. Lamin’s mixes have always ranked in my most-played; their disregard for seamlessness and love of space tug at the strings that stretch from head to [...]

113 & Magic System – Un Gaou A Oran (Shaun D Remix)
-
Artist:
I mentioned yesterday that many African musical exports are of the glee-full, exuberant kind. Here is one such group. Magic System, like CIAfrica, are from Abidjan, Ivory Coast, except they’ve amassed millions of record sales and are in FIFA video games. The other half of this song is from Algeria’s 113, a crew I’ve had [...]

DJ Rupture Presents: CIAfrica
What do you think about when you think about Africa? What do you hear when you listen to Africa? And, what does one write about when they write about Africa? These questions are important questions. Single dimensions are rampant in many visions of Africa, particularly concerning the political and economic instability of many African nations. [...]
