Multiple origins

Matt Yanchyshyn @ 09:48

If you’ve been reading Benn loxo for a while you’ll know that I can’t stick to a style. Benn loxo is all over the place. Some days I wake-up wanting 45rpm crackle and on others I miss the clean beep of crispy electronic.

That said, I’ve secretly been loving a drum n bass throw-back these last few days thanks to a mix in the mail from Fabric. I haven’t two-stepped in a long time but this Irish kid, Calibre, has got me rockin a breakbeat on my Velib’. I also have a particular fondness for the Irish…

So how do you work rnb-infused, London scene, Irish drum n bass into an African music web site? You dig out a kwaito mix that someone just passed you, that’s how.

Happy Wednesday.

Calibre feat. DRS – Hustlin’
Revolution feat. P. Tabane – Vhavenda (Revolution remix)

   Tracks feel as if a big fat tongue sealing the sweetest envelope home to me head. Big bow Mr. Main Man!

   Lately, kwaito’s been on my mind. Yesterday I downloaded a bunch of Zola tracks. Thanks for these too.

   Ha! Great to see that I’m picking up some Irish tunes on an African music website! Thanks a million from Éire.
