Paris DJs Soundsystem - Slow Riders Poster
19 April 2019, 13:38
Maybe you haven't heard about it yet, but there's a new musical movement happening worldwide, a revival of the "Lowrider Soul" scene from the 60's with many new, young bands putting out fantastic tunes in that sweet, soulful, Californian vibe. It all started thanks to Big Crown Records in New York, who reissued fantastic laidback soul from Sunny & The Sunliners in 2017. From there on...

"I met Carlton through Fatta from Soul Stereo. He came to Europe to tour with The Lone Ranger as "Rub a Dud Partners". Fatta suggested "A Message to you Rudie" from Dandy Livingston and the two of them instantly agreed on covering it. I built the riddim, they voiced it: Bam! Instant hit! Recording an album was obvious from then on. One was already on the way with Lone...

We gathered at Paris DJs and thought "we haven't released a new Kologbo single in a while and his wedding is coming soon now, so let's just release a new one right on his wedding day, that'll make him happy for sure". So here it is. "O.C.B.", for "Oghene Come Back"! Former Afrobeat students and collaborators from the Monkuti, World Squad and Newen Afrobeat bands are...

Well, Kologbo singing about this ongoing crisis time we live in, Tony Allen on drums, the Afrobeat Academy horn section, Loik Dury & Grant Phabao producing… you should know the deal by now and think there's no surprise here.

Every 6th of the month is Kologbo day at Paris DJs. Last month no new tune was released, but it was a Kologbo day anyway, since it was the day the former Fela Kuti's Afrika 70 tenor guitarist arrived in Nigeria, and the celebration happened secretely there… He's now back in France and hard working, which mostly means touring and recording new music. So we're back on track too, with a brand new...

15 June 2018, 18:06
Access to groovy, funkin', rockin', psychedelic, revolutionary (etc.) African music as we've grown to like it at Paris DJs was not for everyone before the internet age. For Paris DJs co-founder Loik, it began in the early 80s when he met with a former Fela Kuti horn player, who introduced him to Afrobeat. When Loik arrived at Radio Nova in 1986 (he was radio programmer there between 1987 and...
