Cool. Thanks for the feedback. I work incredibly slowly it seems, but I'm working on that.

No problem & thanks. Lush from your Lets Jack ep is still one of my favourite tracks from the last 5 years, so big up Gremino.

I'm pretty sure 'coolness' in some form has been around as long a culture and fashion. see sprezzatura from the page you linked. The actual word 'cool', thanks to cheapening effect of overuse, has lost so much of it's original connotation to pretty much rendered it's origin meaningless. When...

I think some people are making alright money off of reissues, dj gigs and shipping vinyl out of the continent to sell on ebay and in boutique record shops. Not to mention building up their personal collections which will be worth a small fortune to those they're buying from. Maybe nobody's...

I finally got around to making a soundcloud page and putting up a track. please to give it a listen. :) https://soundcloud.com/oke_music/oke-lunar-cycle

Honest Jon's are pretty good on this stuff if you're feeling disconected. The Hailu Mergia And The Walias Lp that just been reissued is a beautiful record.

Obviously I was talking rather broadly and being admittedly a little negative. But my experience with things like the Womad music festival and the kind of repackaging of African music for the mainly white middle class hippie types has few positives. I'm sure there are good people doing great...

I don't know why you'd think African focussed funk comps would only get worse in 2001, back then the continent was still an untapped treasure trove of music. Beyond Fela and the pretty awful World Music Scene a lot of the continents music has been largely ignored. Since 2000 or so, there's been...

I for one look forward to this book. Sounds like it'll be my kinda book. Learn about the grime scene from this book. Please use this kinda rhyme scheme in your book.

Interesting. Are people still buying them to dj with or is it more for the collection? Most of the sets I see on utube & ITRW don't seem to involve any vinyl. I've got a couple of old Dizzee white labels and a few other 12s but I don't think I want to sell them. I remember getting rid of...

Diggin the videos Yyaldrin. do you make them yourself as well?

It's just another collector trend isn't it? They rinsed most of what the US, Latin America and Europe had to offer a long time ago. They've done Soviet era Russia, India and other parts of Asia, then moved on to the genres of the American continent previously ignored and rinsing/rescuing all...

It would be interesting to know who's buying these. Whether it's young cats who were too young for them the first time, or old dudes filling in there collections. On a side note, I always thought the rare record market is a great place for small time dealers to launder money, because you can...

I got the impression that the numbering in those Fact 100 lists is kinda arbitrary. It’s more a list of the 100 best records from the 70s that some may have missed, cause it pretty much ignores cannon favourites for more recently hyped records and hipster favourites. Not that that's a bad thing...

If this is what finally kills off juke/footwork in Chicago, i don't really think it's a fair exchange. But that's purely speaking from a spectator's point of view.

New Boxed comp incase you missed it.

Yeah, most record shops should only be allowed to have two sections, one for 'White European Classical and Ephemera' & the other for 'African Music, and it's derivative forms'. And all labels should be writen in either Latin, or comunicated via talking drum. Shoppers should be forced to exhibit...
