DJ Center - Center Bumps - Paris DJs Spécial
Wednesday 07 September 2011, 01:17
DJ Center - Center Bumps - Paris DJs Spécial (All Vinyl Mix) (MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) Push The Fader, 2011-09-06 DJ Center comes from the now heavy Paris DJs Brooklyn connection. I had discovered him through his former band, Open Thought, way back in 2003... It was a 12 inch called Force of Life, which never left my bag since then. Always a pleasure to play and definitively a killer track. You will find some more very cool stuff in DJ Center's first album, a mostly hip hop global thing called Everything In Time, released on CD in 2010 and on glorious vinyl earlier this year (surely...

©© Les Frères Smith - Contreband Mentality
(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.
The Black Cat - Hard 2 Find Vol.1 Mixtape
Friday 04 March 2011, 15:45 1
The Black Cat - Hard 2 Find Vol.1 (MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com, digital album on www.Colored-Inc.com) Colored-Inc., 2011-03-04 The Black Cat, the first album on the Colored-Inc. label (colored-inc.com) launched a year ago by Djouls and Doctor L, is what some could say a 'world' album. Blending Latin grooves with Afro rhythms, Reggae harmonies with American Jazz or Funk vibes, Saudade with Jamaican riddims, Psychedelic Funk with Electronic R&B, Psychedelia and Hip Hop, with some lusty doses of Rub-a-Dub, Afro, Soul and Reggae in between, this is indeed a kinda world tour entirely...
The Drug Store - Hard 2 Find Vol.4 - out on COLORED-INC.

The Drug Store - Hard 2 Find Vol.4
(Download/Limited CD) Colored-Inc. COLI009, 2010-09-06
The Drug Store is the first venture for the Colored-Inc. label into Psychedelic Folk & Rock vibes. Blending Nigerian harmonies with American Folk and Jazz, Reggae chants with Stoner Rock and Hip Hop beats or Nyabinghi percussions, freaky electronics with Afrobeat or deep poetry, James Bond-like arrangements with 21st century Chicago Soul, and inviting some famous Zulu Nation King & MC to a deep garage-blues session, this is indeed a kind of a Multi-Colored Thing, a nearly hallucinatory record pushing the Colored-Inc. label's identity towards more edgy forms of African, Carribean and Afro-American music.
Production duties by Erik Rug (3), Doctor L (1,4,6,8,10), and Grant Phabao (2,5,7,9), with star guesting Amayo from the Fu-Arkist-Ra and Allonymous (USA), Kiala Nzavotunga and Tony Allen (from Nigeria), The Jays (from Jamaica), Le Damn Dog, Kactus Hunters, The Joslyns and The Farell Girls (from Paris)

Doctor L - We Got Lost

Doctor L, emminent artist of the emerging french hip hop scene (Assasin, Kabal), free-lance member of the now classic french touch movement (Source Lab I & II compilations with Air, Daft Punk...), talented producer (Lenine, Tony Allen, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Bumcello, Mike 'Clip' Payne & Gary Mudbone Cooper From Funkadelic, James Blood Ulmer) and sought-after remixer (Neneh Cherry, Salif Keita, Gangstarr, Ice-T, David Murray & Pharoah Sanders...), has also four albums under his own name (Exploring The Inside World, Temple On Every Street, Monkey Dizzyness, Forgotten Tracks From The Hard Drive) and numerous satellites projects (Psyco, Psyco On Da Bus, Kactus Hunters, Rare Moods, Not Your Frequency, Broken, Da Linck). One of the most essential artist of the last ten years has now launched his own label, Mind Records and he's back in 2009 with his most ambitious record yet.
Class A guests (Asa, David Walters, Tony Allen, Michael 'Clip' Payne, Allonymous...), timeless songs, conscious texts, huge sound, We Got Lost is an accessible and sophisticated album blending the major influences of the 'Doctor' (the folk music of his Irish ancestors, the groove of Africa, the psychedelism of the 70's Masters) and his particular characteristics (remarkable production, original and modern beats, arrangements...).
Tony Allen - Secret Agent

Tony Allen - Secret Agent
(CD) World Circuit WCD 082, 2009-06-08
Tony Allen has long been acknowledged as Africa's finest kit drummer and one of the continent's most influential musicians. His playing draws on four different styles - highlife, soul/funk, jazz and traditional Nigerian drumming. A unique and mighty sound. Together with Fela Kuti (with whom he played for 15 years) Allen co-created Afrobeat - the hard driving, horns rich, funk-infused, politically insurrectionary style which became such a dominant force in African music and such an influence worldwide. 'Secret Agent', a majestic slice of hardcore roots Afrobeat, is Allen's debut for World Circuit and his first release since he became a founder member of The Good The Bad and The Queen (alongside Damon Albarn, Paul Simenon and Simon Tong). Afrobeat is currently enjoying an upsurge of interest and for fans of hip-hop, funk and jazz, Allen, holder of the Afrobeat flame, is today revered as its seminal living figure.
