The Budos Band - Budos Band EP
(12") Daptone Records DAP12002, 2009-06-23
From the vaults of Daptone Records comes a collection of unreleased tracks from the infamous Budos Band. Recorded after The Budos Band I sessions, but before those for the second full-length, this EP is a fascinating glimpse into the group's evolution as musicians and recording artists. The Budos Band EP is a must-have for Budos and Daptone fans alike. It stands as a vital account of the band's movement between musical styles and records a singular moment in the group's existence. It will indeed stand the test of time and remain a bedrock of Budos lore.
I'd love to get a copy of this vinyl... Daptone-me please!!! (Djouls)

Menahan Street Band - The Wolf b/w Bushwick Lullaby
(7") Daptone Records DAP-1045, 2009-04-08
The Menahan Street Band challenges the Budos Band to a duel with The Wolf, the fast-paced ethio tinged number that has recently served as the opening song of their on-stage appearances. The song evokes unique imagery in the mind - part sun-drenched ethiopian desert, part frozen northern tundra. This song is dedicated to Joe 'The Wolf' Colgan for building the new Dunham Studios.Without telling Michels and Movshon, Brenneck put a little something special in their gin and tonics. The result is Bushwick Lullaby, a highly syncopated slow placed number entirely indicative of the participant's mind-state at the time of recording. Next time you put your kids to sleep, why not sing them the 'Bushwick Lullaby'?

Grant Phabao and Djouls - 21st Century Afro Vol.6
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) T.I.M.E.C., 2009-03-25
This 6th mix in our series of 'current Afro music from all over the world' is focused on the funk anglo-saxon musicians kinda always put back into afro-beat. The Souljazz Orchestra, Kaleta & Zozo Afrobeat, The Soul Hustlers, Brownout, Baby Charles, The Budos Band, The New Mastersounds, Midnight Lab Band... You might not know all these bands - yet.
For starters, Canadian afro-funk outfit The Souljazz Orchestra opens the mix with a splendid instrumental, 'State Terrorism', nearly as powerful as the original demo song from 2007, 'Terrorist'. We then move to New York City and the multi-cultural collective Zozo Afrobeat, with a superb cover of Bob Marley's 'Get Up, Stand Up', before crossing over to Orange County, California, and the Soul Hustlers (with members of Breakestra, Nafro, The Mars Volta...). Their debut 7-inch 'Supernatural Thing' features the Snake from the Los Angeles-based neo soul band The Rebirth, it's a re-interpretation of the Ben E. King classic with a mix of west coast Cali-funk and Nigerian afrobeat. 'Part 1' is vocal, here's the rootsy instrumental 'Part 2' available on the b-side of the single.
Adrian Quesada (Ocote Soul Sounds, Grupo Fantasma) is featured once again with his Brownout afro-latin-funk combo. African music is just everywhere and couldn't pass on Austin, Texas... And even in Brighton, funkateers Baby Charles are trying the afro way. Their cover of 'I Bet You Look God On The Dancefloor' is simply amazing UK afrofunk from the United Kingdom. Brooklynites The Budos Band don't need presentation anymore if you're following our mixes, but maybe you haven't heard of UK funk maestros The New Mastersounds yet? The psychedelic afro-funk track from their 2008 album 'Plug & Play' we've chosen should infectiously make you dance. And we conclude this mix in Brooklyn once again, with the second single from the Midnight Lab Band, a conceptual project from NYCTrust label founders Oneman & E's E. Their second single fuses afro-latin vibes with some cosmic disco spirit.
21st Century Afro. We did not lie.

Grant Phabao and Djouls - 21st Century Afro Vol.3
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) T.I.M.E.C., 2009-01-14
This 3rd volume of 21st Century African music begins in Asheville, North Carolina (USA) with The Afromotive, fusing Afrobeat, Funk and improvisation. Did someone say "jamband"? The trombone/trumpet player Brian Bender (from New England, USA) could easily fit in that category, since he's been playing with numerous bands across the globe, from latin jazz, to samba reggae, african, calypso, klezmer, celtic, arabic, turkish, middle eastern, jazz, blues, dixieland, afrobeat and funk! Next we have Nomo from Michigan, USA, with an extract from their latest album, "Ghost Rock", one of the most innovative records of 2008, heavily mixing Krautrock with Afrobeat, Funk and Jazz. We then come back to some HUGE recent afrofunk albums, the Karl Hector & The Malcouns one (from Germany) and the second Budos Band long player (New York, USA). We're kinda pushing those records a lot and proud of doing so. Buy them if you still haven't!! We close this selection with Chicago Afrobeat Project from Chicago, USA, with a track taken from "(A) Move To Silent Unrest", their latest and best album yet, a true crossover of Afrobeat and Jazz.
