Here comes Volume 5, which relates to Vol. 4 like the 6 and the 9, as both editions were recorded on the same sylvester night while berlin was getting ready to re-enact some war zone actions ... it turned out tho be quite a joyfull thing, though, and probably the most outernational selection ever. again, it's a mix of vinyl and CD, re-issued, found or newly produced. and no mp3s.. we start in the funky south, heading up to chicago and new york, crossing the atlantic to west africa with a tribute to Melome Clement of Orchestre Poly Rhythmo who left us too early. With a classic from Letta Mbulu we return to south america before somehow crossing over to europe and finally the middle east. the journey ends with a blend of exotica, garage, and some country for good measure. apart from the obvbious, this one is dedicated to everyone i met that sylvester night (hope yo'all remember?) ... and of course, the three cool cats ... you know who you are ... have a peacefull 2013!
