Another doggy paddle around this climatically suspect planet of ours...a lot of soul music on this one....Ethiopian stompers from Ernesto Chahoud's ace new comp on BBE, Ghanaian afro-reggae, classic funk/soul/boogaloo vibes from ATA Records from Leeds (Rachel Modest, Joe Tatton, Akin Amusan), rare Japanese jazz courtesy of BBE and a monster new version of 'Black Gold Of The Sun' fresh from Brownswood, abstract Baile Funk and a gnarly riddim from Mawimba in Paris, another killer off Tahira's essential new Brazilian record on Jazz and Milk and an opener by my good friend Trekkah...enjoy! x
