Global SoulJah & BBE Records Radio Show - November 21, 2010

Well that's enough of vinyl back to the digital..

Pedestrian kicked off the show with a lush slice of electronica from the new Brownswood Bubblers compiled by that nice man Gilles Peterson before I dropped a little Scratch 22 remix of the excellent Electric Wire Hustle from New Zealand, now that's what I call soul. I then followed that with a beautiful cut from a beautiful soundtrack album. It's the music to The Assassination of Jesse James composed by Nice Cave & Warren Ellis, a truly breathtaking piece of music and thanks to King Cannibal for turning me on to it.

Souad Massi then kept the mellow vibes rolling with some Algerian folk music from her new album before the Starkey remix of Balearic proggy new boys Starlings crashed the show back into the hear and bassline now. Arp 101 then kept the future flavour rolling in a proper fashion, courtesy of the ever interesting Eglo Records. J.Rocc is about to release an album after years of DJing at the highest level and I am proud to present a little future disco cut from the project which is guaranteed to destroy even the stiffest of dancefloors.

There is a great compilation of tropical disco delights out called Disc 'O' Lypso which is an audio delight start to finish and the Tappa Zukie track 'Freak' was a little taste of the delights if you purchase the compilation. Speaking of comps I then hit you with some vintage Africa courtesy of the latest Analogue Africa compilation of wonder - Afro Beat Airways. If you want to know what a compilation should look like as well as sound like then I suggest you sprint to your nearest record store (could be a long way these days) and buy it.

flako has just produced a nice little concept EP (don't be scared, its great!) soundtracking a film future beat style and my hat goes off to him, check the Shaunise vocal track for a taster of the eclectic delights. I then had to drop a cut off the excellent Opolopo album about to drop on Tokyo Dawn, it's a killer future soul and boogie thing, check the 'Glide' track for a little taster. I couldn't resist dropping the main cut from the new Debuzz release - French hip hop at it's very best before DJ Vadim's new project, The Electic, ended the show on a Hip Ital Boogie tip, baaaadd...
