yeah i agree, his selection is amazing ... set times haven't really been decided yet as far as i'm aware.

Wax Treatment next Sunday, 28 Feb ... Mark Ernestus, DJ Pete, Ras Kush and me. Kush (NYC / Black Redemption) will no doubt be unleashing a heap of steppers dubplates, he's been doing a lot of work recently with singers like Fred Locks, Prince Allah, Judah Eskender Tafari and Johnny Clarke, so...

very interesting piece!

are there lots of tunes on this theme??

i never seem to see it, weird, missed issue 1 also.

that talent corp reissue is excellent all the way.

My favourite for a while was the barracuda, but i've not been there since it became the gold bar.

yeah the rochester, i stopped going there after an old man came up to my table, picked up my pint and drank it.

That Douni Lebladi is nice too. Zhao: some years back a few hip hop type crossover things ... e.g. this: (Khaled, Fonky Family, Les ennemis). Sure there's more but can't think what atm. was it good ?? interesting ... would like to hear some.

hmmph, overrated imo...sorry, back to original discussion.

really enjoyed ernestus and shakir at the hardwax party last week!

I've also just started on Sola Olorunyomi's "Afrobeat: Fela and the Imagined Continent" (2003): I've been kind of skimming it, need to sit down and read it properly cos it's quite dense, there's plenty of interesting stuff in it including a sort of verbatim summary of Fela's "Felasophy" and...

thanks ory - nice one.

sorry if this is a stupid question but i've not really been following this stuff much. is there much along these lines but with bashment/soca-ish vocals that has been released? the heatwave mix is all specials or unreleased right? or has some stuff like that come out?

Nice! It would be appropriate to mention "Natty Dread Christmas" but I don't have it and can't find a clip of it. Same riddim as Heptones "We Want It" ...

Worth pointing people in the direction of this youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/rootikalist loadsa "most wanted" deep roots tunes in there ... a few have been repressed, most not. also, it's kind of an obvious pick, but right at this time i have to mention this tune here ... kingdom...

only occasionally i think? much better/simpler to go from tarifa imo. but i may be wrong.

Nice. I've been reading "Mbalax Mi: Musikszene Senegal" by Cornelia Panzacchi (1996) it's a study of senegalese popular music from the late 60s to the late 80s. it's in german (although very readable german ... not impenetrable academic prose) but for non-german readers it's useful anyway...

Shaka is the night before ... they changed it.

Mr Tea's conjecture is uncannily accurate. It is as he says, although it also has apes, unlike England. A more rewarding daytrip would be Morocco imo ... or somewhere else in Spain. But perhaps I am maligning it.
