Ali B – Oh Shit! (Afrikaburn)

2012-05-10T08:05:54Z

Another great mix from Ali B, straight off the back of visiting Afrikaburn Festival at the end of April – here’s what Ali has to say on it:

This is a mix I did for Afrikaburn 2012, the official African outpost of Burning Man, the art and music event based on radical self expression and self reliance. This year was my third time out there and it just seems to get better and better. You can check out the piece I wrote for the Guardian Newspaper here: http://bit.ly/J2fZGV and you can check out the films I have made on Afrikaburn here: http://www.youtube.com/airrecordings For more information you can follow me on Twitter at @DJ_Ali_B or check out my website at www.airrecordings.com

This was Mincestep Vol 6 – Steelzawheelz

2012-04-10T15:50:29Z

Steelzawheelz – a name associated with mexicans, lard and voting West – is arguably the inventor of the Mincestep (exhibit A above M’lud) and when he is not busy perving over old funk records or pictures of Cortinas, he puts together some damn fine funk. Check out this slice of mince from Steelz’s archives – featuring West Records, some Splank is probably in there, apparently some early Nick Thayer too. No tracklist, but I am sure if you ask him he can let you know – catch him on MySpace (yeah, he’s taking it back for the Hipsters).

Feeling Good – Mooqee & Pimpsoul ft Bianca Gerald (official Video)

2012-04-07T15:06:56Z

Feeling Good is the second collaboration between two kings of the beats and bassfunk scene; Mooqee & Pimpsoul. Delivered by a label that defined the sound; Bombstrikes. The previous release from the pair was something of an underground smash, holding the top spot on Beatport’s Hip Hop charts for over 150 days consecutive as well as making into the finalists for the influential Beatport Music Awards. Feeling Good looks like taking it further with airtime already from BBC Radio 1 and 1 Xtra, Capital, Kiss and XFM in the UK. Things look set to blow up for the pair. The incredibly talented Bianca Gerald delivers the wonderfully soulful vocals.

Remixes come from Tantrum Desire, Rory Lyons, Herbgrinder & Nappy Riddem.

Out 9th April 2012 on Bombstrikes Records
