AFROSPACE 47 - 17/12/2013: "MC's Act Like They Don't Know"
Selector: mrjofa
In this week's show we select more goodness from some of the biggest albums of the year. Hip Hop/Rap/Spoken Word features heavily in the first hour with big cuts from cats like Kanye West, King Krule, Danny Brown, Earl Sweatshirt, Jonwayne, Doom, Madlib, Q-Tip & Tribe, Mos Def, Slick Rick…nuff said! We touch on some african-X-brazilian-disco vibes (William Onyeabor, Gabriel Muzak) before Jai Paul comes thru with a funked-up Prince-meets-Night Slugs bomb and Waajeed bangs it hard on a percussive acid electro tip. We up the BPM's and head into deep space territory (Kyle Hall, FlyLo X Martyn, Quest) before waking up in the middle of the dancefloor at a full-on street rave…Special Request with the big up to all junglist! For the final 20 we bring it downtempo with some ambient electronic, soul and jazz-inflected beats courtesy of Walton, Machinedrum, Bonobo, Massive Attack and American acoustic ensemble DOM.
