Access to groovy, funkin', rockin', psychedelic, revolutionary (etc.) African music as we've grown to like it at Paris DJs was not for everyone before the internet age. For Paris DJs co-founder Loik, it began in the early 80s when he met with a former Fela Kuti horn player, who introduced him to Afrobeat. When Loik arrived at Radio Nova in 1986 (he was radio programmer there between 1987 and 1997), he then discovered marvels of African Music (other than Fela), through the radio's vast record collection, which soon led to the word-famous "La Sono Mondiale" concept.
At the same time, Grant Phabao, in his late teens, discovered Congolese music through friends from Zaire. He gets access to Afrobeat in the mid-90s with a Fela Kuti CD gathering the "Zombie" and "He Miss Road" albums, which long-time friend Djouls brought back from his diggin' sessions in Paris. Many friends ripped and burned that CD, for sure. Then the legendary Daktaris album happened on Desco Records in 1998, followed by the beginning of the Antibalas, the Comet Records & Strut Records compilations in 2000, and soon after Soundway Records… the rest is history but that's roughly how African Music started for us at Paris DJs.

"M A R Y" is Ashanti Bragg's latest video release from her project, "Journey of A Young Woman Vol.1." It is track #3 on the project which can be found on SoundCloud and DatPiff.
On this song, Bragg sits back, reflects, and asks about the Hows and Whys of love. This is not your traditional "I'll do anything for romance" song with samples and hints from the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul, Mary J. Blige.
Please Check it out, give it a thumbs up, and be sure to Subscribe to Ashanti Bragg's channel.-

One year on from his debut album The 5th Exotic‚ Quantic delivered his second album Apricot Morning and as one listen to it will show, the musical future is looking bright for this young producer who was only 22 at the time of completion of this album. Will Holland, aka Quantic, has developed a sound combining influences from jazz, hip hop, afro, funk, soul and breakbeats to forge a style that is truly original. The album has a melting pot of techniques and tempos that has influences from across the world but with an undubitably UK-centred sound. This is no doubt due to the fact that Quantics production expertise and musical skill has brought the best out of the talented British artists and musicians who he has collaborated with to help push the Quantic musical vision forward. This album received an incredible amount of positive acclaim from a huge variety of national and international press as well as club and radio djs worldwide. With this album, Quantic further proves that he can make quality music in a variety of styles that has the ability to connect with people from a variety of musical backgrounds which, is surely what good music is about.

From Monkeyboxing.com:
"Fresh from the success of his Andy Cooper-featuring b-boy 45 in September, Djar One ensures those at the get down remain getting down with some sweet edit action from new seven inch You Set My Soul On Fire. Could that be an edit of a certain Chi-Lites number famously sampled by Beyonce? It could! And that brass everyone fell crazy in love with then is in full effect again along with an extra layer of heavy drum break. Probably best if there’s something properly stomping on the flip in that case too, yeah? Perhaps a mod-style soul jazz groover with big drums? Maybe call it Movin Now or something? That should do it. Don’t hang around when this drops though – it’s a limited 300 pressing run."

The project "Colors Of My Mind" is a 5 Song EP entirely produced by one artist Salomé aka. SwissMiss. Melancholic trip hop influenced instrumentals underline eerie and melodic vocals creating an obscure and hypnotic atmosphere with unorthodox structures and choruses. Definitely something that has to be checked out.credits
