2017 release. Two seminal 12" mixes of a pair of Michael Wycoff heavy hitters from 1982. One a two-step favorite and one a loft classic, these sought-after versions have never been paired on the same record. Side A features the smooth-gliding anthem "Looking Up To You" whilst Side B houses the legendary Tee Scott dub mix of uplifting boogie gem "Diamond Real".

Africa Seven's next installment returns to Cameroon with a special edition version of Momo Joseph's in-demand LP, "War For Ground", with three extra tracks. This "Edition Speciale" version of "War For Ground" offers a thorough observation of Momo Joseph's work as a musician and looks to help shine a light on Momo's career and musical genius. 

On the album, Monkey Safari share a journey that goes from nostalgia with emotive lines of synthesizers, somber cuts, folk voices, sensual sounds and cacophony of strings and keys, all delicately aligned to maintain the meditative atmosphere. As they indicated through their press release, “this is music made to move your body and your soul”.

Rare afro-rock from Nigerian's 'Soul brother number one'. Brillaint second album by Joni Haastrup’s band MonoMono from 1974. This super funky african band took on the bluesrock grooves of Santana and Hugh Masekela but with their own unique Yoruban flavour. Recommended!

Straight Outta Compton is the debut studio album by the rap group N.W.A, and recorded in Los Angeles county's City of Compton.

Japanese drummer and multi-instrumentalist Naoito creates an explosive and unique mix of spiritual jazz, Afro moods and soul with the album 'dotA'. Highly recommended!
