Paris DJs Soul Soundsystem - For Ever Gil Scott-Heron ! (MP3 Podcast on ParisDJs.com) 2011-05-30 Once again one of our father figures has left to party on the other side. Let's just hope that with Gil Scott-Heron, it won't be poetry itself that'll be skipping out on us...

[comment faire?/how to?] Tracklisting : 01. Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson - Three Miles Down (from 'Secrets' album, 1978 / Arista)...

(gatefold 2xLP) Cafe Creme Contreband Corporation, 2011-04-22
(CD/Digital) Comet, late may 2011

©© les Freres Smith - the Smiths brothers - is a Paris based 14 piece collective specialized in afrobeat and ethio flavoured grooves. These music smugglers have been touring the French and European scenes for more than 10 years, always with the same blasting energy. Well known for its explosive live interventions, the band is now releasing its first real album after various collaborations with artists such as Tony Allen, Kutiman, Franck Biyong, or Kokolo, among others. Already accounting as a reference on the Parisian live scene and after a first 7" single on Melting Pot Music, the crew is now releasing its very first album!! 11 crazy afro joints mashed up with as many influences as there are family members in this band, and gathering the cream of the Parisian afrobeat family. Produced by les Freres Smith themselves with support and precious help by mythical afrobeat label Comet Records led by Eric Trosset, featuring the great Tony Allen and the crazy guitarist minister Oghene Kologbo from Fela's Africa 70, the album was mixed and mastered by experienced producer Grant Phabao (T.I.M.E.C.), with the help of afrobeat specialist Loik Dury (Kraked Records) who mixed one of the album's tracks.

Loik La Sono Mondiale

Loik - La Sono Mondiale Vol.1

Loik - La Sono Mondiale Vol.1 (MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) Kraked, 2009-04-28 We couldn't call this 'World Music' cos' the term doesn't mean squatt. We thought it could be some kind of 'Oriental Flavour' thing but then what about the brazilian jazz track in there? Then we remembered Loik Dury used to do the programmation for Radio Nova in France for so many years, bringing to the scene what Jean-François Bizot had called 'La Sono Mondiale'. This mix is perfect example of that spirit. Rare groove with no limits whatsoever. [comment faire?/how to?] Tracklisting : 01. Ananda Shankar -...
