Saw the Vienna show and was especially impressed by the Abyssinians - time has not dulled the edge of those lovely harmonies. Hope sax man Dean Fraser is also at the London gig, he was great as well. Enjoy!

This looks great, Stelfox, big thanks!

Not to forget radio - Miami, New Orleans stations reaching far out into the Caribbean, for example - and the merchant marine.

Recently reissued by the Basic Channel boys, check the rest of the program here. It's good, but African Roots Act 1 is a few notches above that, IMHO. But that may be next week's Best Underrated Dub Album. ;)

More GD riddims: Arrow, River Bed, Rattlesnake, Dingy + Gravity (?) Dutch Pot is also the name of his label, I believe. John Eden's mix is absolutely blindin', take up Paul 2Stepfan's kind offer to d/l it if you haven't already done so.

You're completely right, it's not totally electronic. "I Feel Love", however, is, but you don't get 10 minutes of Donna's moaning and groaning.

Donna Summer "Love to love you baby" is an obvious one.

Dave, wrote you an e-mail.

I don't have my music with me and I might be sticking my scrawny neck out too far on this one, but here goes. "Fade Away" riddim e.g. Junior Byles "Fade Away", Horace Andy "Fade Away", Ranking Joe "Weakheart fadeaway"... The Thriller U track in question uses a digital remake of that riddim and...

Phoarrr... I'm loving this! After that stellar roots set, a fantastic bunch of dancehall tunes with plenty of dubstyle action throughout. Lovely. Thanks to both of you!

Two very dope mixes. Thanks D!

Get in the queue. :p

I know that Zaire Classics series. Funny enough, it's on the very same Belgian label, Crammed, that has put out Konono #1*. Incidentially, the series was put together by Vincent Kenis, co-founder of Aksak Maboul and sometime member of the Honeymoon Killers and Minimal Compact, who also played...

A very big mix, rockin' it just now. Many thanks to DJL and Paul M for this.

Good thread. @afrobongo As you are Congolese, that is very high praise indeed! Thank you. @sufi Some amazing stuff on railtonroad.com, I'm wondering if you'd mind spreading some of that love around... Very curious about that From the Heart of the Congo and Super Mama Djombo stuff you were...

For printing out, stencil-making, etc.

On the UK hiphop tip, whatever happened after Big Dada released that Extra Yard comp? What was all that 'bouncement' business about anyway? Some good stuff on that comp tho': a relick of Roots Manuva's "Witness", some New Flesh (whose album Understanding featuring Beans, Gift of Gab and the...
