Here It Comes
Been a long time since I was in school, but I still always feel the communal good vibes of early Summer when kids suddenly multiply in the street. June feels like a constant excuse to work a little less hard. Partly because of this natural mystic that’s in the air, and partly because I’m 11 hours deep into the amazing patois goldmine that is the audiobook of A Brief History Of Seven Killings, I’m extra inspired to share some dancehall sounds (even if most of these songs aren’t from Jamaica). I also played a bunch of these alongside my homie DJ Nadi up in Mendocino over the weekend at Enchanted Forest Festival and it’s clear that the afro-soca dancehall stylee is hitting hard this year. Wouldn’t be surprised to hear Beyonce on an Afrobeat track before 2017 is done. Enjoy the beats & ciao for now…

Thank you for this incredible blog! Droppin’ these tracks all over our little community radio in nowheresville. Solid. Many thanks.

Sounds like more naija influence. Or maybe I’m just imagining it.

No @Toxeth, you are definitely not imagining it. Lot of back & forth style mixing going on between Naija & the Caribbean right now. Kranium & Wizkid on a track together here and Timaya singing on a classic dancehall riddim. Dancehall is alive & well in Nigeria while Afrobeats are heavily influencing new dancehall and pop records. This is something I’m quite happy about!

Thanks for all the music. Listening to KMLN – Alhambra (feat. Dirtwire) from last post “Staying Alive” which has sounds like a tube effect on a steel drum? and reminding me of Henrik Schwarz & Amampondo – I Exist Because Of You (Henrik Schwarz Live Version). Sorry for commenting in the wrong post. Love what you’re doing. jm
