world music

#20 features, a lot of leftfield hiphop from UK’s Dirty Diggers, J. Rawls & Holmskillit, Kidkanevil even some neo-oldschool stuff by Jazzy Jeff. Some crazy stuff from Peru and Japan, particularly the awesome instrumental version of Otemoyan by Teruo Yoda and the japanese dub track by Accidental’s Setsubun Bean Unit.

Whooo, it’s time to review one of my favourite CDs from 2007 just before it gets a regular western world release on Galapagos4, a leftfield hiphop label that slipped through my filters this year, with artists like Mike Gao and Mestizo.

We have some moog covers by Jean-Jacques Perrey and later on The Moog Cookbook, cheerful Brasilian vibes from Nublu’s Forro in the Dark (which I’ll be featuring very soon), an interesting break where I played my favourite song from Terre Thaemlitz’ Lovebomb, which features the African National Congress’ declaration of war against the Apartheid regime played on top of The Plants’ textures and Krepulec’s martial piece.
