Posted: 12 Sep 2013 08:36 AM PDT  The Antibalas show this week in Paris for Jazz à la Villette was rad! As last year at New Morning, they played a killer Afrobeat set, reaching terrible heights on the new tracks such as "Gold Rush", bringing chills down the spine and tears in the eyes… and that was before the surprise arrival of legendary drummer Tony Allen and percussionist Chief Udoh Essiet for a take on 'Alagbon Close'… and an Afrobeat cover of this summer's hit 'Get Lucky' by you-know-who!!! (Martin Perna photo by Miles Arntzen from the back of the stage at Jazz à La Villette, sept 10, 2013) Here's a rather nice shot of the Tony Allen/Chief Udoh featuring. And a version of "Gold Rush" from november 2013 in Amsterdam Links : official | facebook | parisdjs | soundcloud | twitter | youtube  |
Posted: 12 Sep 2013 08:15 AM PDT  Not to be confused with the GUYNAMUKAT EDITS release of the same name released in 2011 (played in this Paris DJs mix or in Nik Weston Afro Tropical Special), this 3rd volume of the limited edition 12 inches from the 'Afro Disco Boogie Edits will see the light of day on the MUKAT EDITS label at the end of the month. Starting with a bumpin disco number, 'Funky Music Burning In My Soul", you get instantly what this record is all about: funky claps & guitar, slapping bass and an anthemic chorus 'Everybody get up, and dance, it's a brand new thing'… Hard to resist, this is floorfiller material for sure. Things then slow down a bit with 'Biggies Boogie', a very well rounded-up edit of trumpetist Herb Alpert's number one hit from 1979, 'Rise', keeping only the good bits for extended slo-mo pleasure. B-side opens with a deep hip hop/dub instrumental reminding Dr Dre's instrumental for 'The Next Episode', one that'll fit anykind of sets, and closes with the bouncin' boogie instrumental 'Steady As She Goes For The Pancake Purists', with loveable strings and a funky keyboard solo.

Posted: 12 Sep 2013 08:17 AM PDT  We've put up many Tropical Mixes on Paris DJs, including some gems from the Caribbean Coast Region of Colombia. Released in 1975 on the Discos Fuentes label, the monster dancefloor track from Wganda Kenya penned and produced by Fruko 'Tipit Hayed' was picked in 2007 for the fantastic Soundway Records compilation 'Colombia!'. This very cool tropical dub edit from Radio Nova programmer Blundetto then appeared on 'Domino Edits # 1' CD compilation from 2009, and finally arrives on vinyl thanks to Juno Records selector and Mukatsuku label founder Nik Weston. B-side 'Salsa Na Ma' is a terrific piece of Colombian Salsa from Fruko Y Sus Tesos and with its irresistible piano intro, should devastate any kind of global dancefloor!
