DJ Juls – Summertime Afrobeat Mix

If you don’t know about DJ Juls you should read this piece first. No boombap hip hop beats here, just some irresistibly upbeat sounds from Ghana, Naija, SA… including – among others, the Chuck Wild remix of Azingele by Ruff-N-Smooth, of course some unavoidable E.L. action, and even Premier Gaou!!! Nice to see some Francophone love from a Ghanaian head. Chale afrobeat dey 4 ur head inside, don’t sleep!

Jozi + Durban and back – Tupolev Sound Crash SA house mix

Brussels rockers Darcyr and Leblanc of Tupolev Sound Crash just hit us up with this pretty impeccable set of South African house, simply called Mzansi – SA slang for… SA! As the Tupolev cats put it, this mix is not of the deep, mellow, or minimal strain that is perhaps more common. Instead they went for a funky, tribal and dark approach. We like. Get schooled on that side of music in about one hour (beats driving school), full tracklist on soundcloud page. We should also mention that Leblanc was the one dood who came up to BBRAVE after his recent set at Recyclart in Brussels, admitting he actually heard a few kuduro cuts he’d never heard! Good to know Akwaaba can impress even the most musically knowledgeable nerds ;-p

Oh and while we’re at it, peep this mix they did about a year ago, freshly re-uploaded for your downloading pleasure: 100% COUPE DECALE!!!!
