AFRO DISKO BOMBZ

BOOM! This mix is so heavy that spell-check couldn't handle it. Totally smacked that little Microsoft paperclip guy down! I didn't long ago post an afro type mix but started playing around with some new (and not so new) records yesterday and realised it was for the best. I think quite a few people liked the first afro boogie mix too so hopefully a few of you will dig this too. It kicks off with some raw afro funk from Dick Khoza, then straight into some contemporary afrobeat with Afrodizz and Tony Allen, before things get a lot more discofied with the Whiskey Barons' crew from Boston, a hypnotically dope Dutch disco edit of Ronnie Laws, some classic Patrice Rushen and a banjo based disco jam from Mandrill (yeah, you read that right). Enjoy! African Jive (Moto) - Dick Khoza (Rashid Vally) No Time - Afrodizz (Freestyle) Kilode: Carl Craig straight mix - Tony Allen (Honest Jons) More Heavy - Bosq of Whiskey Barons feat. Kaleta (Ubiquity) Good Feelings - Ronnie Laws re-edit (White) I Was Tired Of Being Alone - Patrice Rushen Happy Beat - Mandrill (Arista)

(Free MP3 download on ParisDJs.com) 2013-01-29

2013 should be a busy year for the Smith family. Before releasing some long-awaited new material later this year, Les Freres Smith and Paris DJs offer you a cover of Fela Kuti's 'Opposite People' captured last summer at the amazing Roskilde Festival in Denmark.

Recorded in binaural so that you may hear the music just as if you were there, the whole Smith family hopes you'll enjoy this live take at one of the biggest European festivals. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and get ready to dance! PS check this little video out if you miss a dance step or two.

'Opposite People' is a 1977 Fela classic regularly played and appreciated by Les Freres Smith. Long trance rhythms, powerful horn themes and solos, heavy vintage keyboards and a strong, barely abstract, political message about the colonial mentality, upper class corruption, and more particularly its ability to abuse and impose its vision even if it's opposite to the one of the people.

The artwork, by band member Elvis Martinez Smith, is a hijack (or tribute, or both!) of a 1982 poster by Thami Mnyele for the 'Culture and Resistance' festival organised by the Medu Art Ensemble, in Gaborone, Botswana (read more about this movement here). Their story, ideology and actions in South Africa at the time are similar to Fela's crusade and more particularly to the social meaning of the song 'Opposite People', focusing on the disparities, growing gaps and walls between social classes.

Kologbo feat. The Deacon - Freedom Back
(Exclusive MP3 download on ParisDJs.com) Kraked, 2009-12-06

Some of you discovered Kologbo on stage at the Afrofunk party we organized last summer with Ebo Taylor & The Poets Of Rhythm. Some others already knew he was the tenor guitar player from Fela Kuti's Afrika 70 and he now plays on stage with Tony Allen. Some of you might even have heard the Remember Fela Anikulapo Kuti album he released in 2007 with Berlin's heaviest afrobeat ensemble Afrobeat Academy... Well he's now preparing a new album called Africa is the Future, produced by Loik Dury and to be relased early 2010!! Here's a preview, with Freedom Back featuring The Deacon (from The Duke & The King) on guest vocals, a real phat vintage slice of Afrofunk!
