Love it when things happen FAST! Don’t let anybody tell you “this is Africa” to justify anything not working or simply not happening. I first discovered Waga 3000 only a few weeks ago, and today we are proud to release their self-titled debut. Meet Art Melody and Joey le Soldat, firm leaders of a new wave of MCs in Burkina Faso, who are not content sticking to bling imagery, but are instead giving a voice to the youth and workers, who are simply tired and pissed: no jobs, rampant corruption, a government which doesn’t embrace the urgency of the situation, day to day life in poverty for most of Burkina’s population.
Art and Joey teamed up with French beatmaker DJ Form of French outfit Tentacule Records, who gives the album a distinct touch: his production is cold and minimal, and despite the urgency in which the album was recorded – 10 tracks in 2 days – the beats are well crafted and compliment the rappers quite well. This collaboration gives Art and Joey an opportunity to have their voices heard beyond Burkina. Support Waga 3000, support Burkina!
As the FOKN Bois put it: “Everyday when the Boko Haram go off on various missions, the FOKN Bois keep their wives, sisters and daughters company. This video was filmed in Victoria Island, Lagos the capital city of Nigeria.” From the FOKN Wit Ewe album which you should cop.
Today the Tatali Remix EP is out exclusively on Beatport!! And of course our own Bandcamp shop. Wait a couple more weeks to see it pop up everywhere else… Check out the choons:
DJ Los Carlos (Netherlands / Surinam): This up and coming Rotterdam based producer is crazy for kuduro. This is the second time he makes a kuduro remix for Akwaaba, the first one being the great remix of Elegom Bounsa by DJ Djeff and Maskarado.
Kosta Kostov (Germany / Bulgaria): Versatile DJ and producer with roots in the Balkans – both literally and musically, Born in Bulgaria, based in Germany, at home around the world, Kosta recently put out a great EP for UrbanWorld, and is now schooling us to his djigit style.
DJ Reaganomics (USA): perhaps the artist with the greatest name in the entire world, Reaganomics is a mixtape master, with close to three decades of mashing sounds together under his belt. In recent years Reaganomics has embraced tropical and booty sounds from all over the world. As exemplified quite well with his remix.
Bigote (Spain): Madrid-based multifaceted artist, Bigote moves among photography, visual art and… music. His DJ sets include many Latin American musical genres, as do his productions, bridging the gap between the Americas and Europe.
And don’t you freeloaders forget, we love you too, you can grab the Serious Attention Disorder Minimix for freeeeee right here:

L’EP Tatali Remix est disponible sur Beatport, Bandcamp, et chez les revendeurs habituels. Petit tour des titres :
DJ Los Carlos (Hollande/Surinam): Un producteur basé à Rotterdam, en pleine ascension, et fan de kuduro. C’est d’ailleurs son deuxième remix du genre chez Akwaaba, le premier étant sa reprise remarquée de Elegom Bounsa par DJ Djeff et Maskarado.
Kosta Kostov (Allemagne / Bulgarie): Dj et producteur polyvalent dont les racines sont situées dans les balkans – littéralement comme musicalement – né en Bulgarie, basé en Allemagne mais familier des quatres coins du globe. Kosta a récemment sorti un EP de qualité chez UrbanWorld, il nous enseigne aujourd’hui le style djigit.
DJ Reaganomics (États-Unis): Malgré son nom de scène assez inattendu et franchement comique, Reaganomics est un expert de la mixtape : à son actif près de 3 décennies à combiner les sons et en stocker dans sa besace. Ces dernières années Reaganomics s’est consacré aux sons tropicaux et dansants du monde entier. Son remix l’illustre assez bien.
Bigote (Espagne): Bigote , artiste multifacette de Madrid, se consacre aussi bien à la photo et aux arts visuels qu’à la musique. Ses DJ sets comprennent un paquet de styles musicaux d’Amérique Latine, tout comme ses productions, établissant une passerelle entre les Etats-Unis et l’Europe.
Et pour ceux qui ne téléchargent que quand c’est pas payant, on vous a pas oublié, et on vous aime aussi : vous pouvez chopper Serious Attention Disorder Minimix gratooooos ici :
