"Hipsters into Afrobeat won't be disappointed with a new single from Antibalas (covering Sly Stone with Doctor L!!!), the first Budos Band album or the Dakataris reissue on Daptone Records, two Nomo albums (because we prefered the first one, released some time ago), and a french release from Fire Tongue and Chief Cook. That's what we call a grand buffet."

Alice Russell vs Grant Phabao vs The Lone Ranger in Rob Luis Top 20 Current Chart


Robert Luis Top 20 Chart [Tru Thoughts/Zebra Traffic/myspace.com/robertluisdj]

CURRENT CHART (CDR's & MP3's are for winners!)
01. That Version Of Sexual Healing That Quantic's Been Hammering (MP3)
Managed to blag an MP3 of Will but have to keep who it is under wraps for the moment as we are now in discussions trying to sign it
02. TM Juke / Come Away (Tru Thoughts 12")
The big dancefloor tune finally gets on vinyl.
03. Drumagick / Fiesta & Brazuca Do Mal (Trouble On Vinyl 12")
Blew the roof of the tent at Bestival. The bass is scary!!!
04. Omar / Your Mess (Mark De Clive Lowe Mix) (Ether 12")
The album's still on heavy rotation but loving this remix too.
05. Aaron Jerome / Late Night Mission (The Bump) (MP3)
Featuring Yungun with some funny party lyrics and a great uptempo party beat. Big!
06. Alice Russell / Humankind (Grant Phabao Mix) (Tru Thoughts MP3)
Another reggae remix from France that was just sent through to TT HQ.

07. Rup / Rup On Zebra EP (Zebra Traffic Promo 12")
I've been playing tracks from CDR for a while from Rup and I don't get asked about too many hip hop tunes when I play but a real mixture of people are asking me about Rup. Refreshing hip hop.
08. Various / Various (Rebtuz 12")
Next instalment sees remixes and edits of Art Blakey, Yummy Bingham, Diesler, Lupe Fiasco, J Dilla and Life dropping some truth about 'Bomb Propaganda'.
09. Skibadee / Tika Toc (Ahead Of The Game 12")
TM Juke got to drop this at Bestival and it is huge…when the beat kicks in on a big system it snaps your head!!!!
10. Freddie Cruger / Soul Search (Tru Thoughts LP)
Quite a few demos we get at Tru HQ say they are like Massive Attack. This album actually reminds me of Massive circa Blue Lines but for 21st Century (it doesn't sound like Massive). Reggae, Soul, Hip Hop and Funk fused in a way that could only be new.
11. The Elementz / On My Case feat Task Force (CDR)
Straight out of Nottingham. A 'Sound Of Da Police' anthem for the UK (finally!!!!).
12. Pharoah Monch / Push (Geffen MP3)
Gospel into hip hop and a good dig at George Bush too. What more can you want.
13. Zero Db / Bongos Beats and Basslines (Ninja Tune LP)
These guys are pioneers. Dirty and noisy but still musical.
14. Calibre / Drop It Down & Same Ole (Signature 12" & Liquid V 12")
Two massive Drum and Bass tunes from Calibre.
15. Bonobo / Days To Come (Ninja Tune LP)
With Bajka and Fink on vocals and Si on production this is a really amazing album. A definite album of 2006 contender.
16. Nostalgia 77 Octet / The Impossible Equation (Tru Thoughts LP)
Ben continues with his Jazz Jihad. Amazing pieces of music.
17. Feindrehstar / Dancetrack (Moonstrarr Mix) (Sonar Kollektiv 12")
You can't front on the drums. Dancefloor destroyer!!!
18. Luther Vandross / Shine (J 12")
Sampling Chic (like the current Puherman tune on Bingo).
19. Spanky Wilson & The Quantic Soul Orchestra / I'm Thankful (Tru Thoughts LP)
The album is super heavy and can't wait for the live gigs with her later this year.
20. Lanu / Dis Information (Tru Thoughts CDR)
From the man behind the Bamboos. Great lyrics that are very relevant at a time when flying out of the UK is chaotic but there are no concerns about flying back!

Direct MP3 download : Doctor L - Kind_ Of Dry feat MC Jester.mp3

Review :
Forward thinking never ends with french cult producer Doctor L...
After an astonishing series of 4 new INCREDIBLE albums in less than 2 years on his new label Mind (check djouls.com), and a collectable series of limited 7 and 12 inches concluding with an amazing cover of Sly Stone's "Family Affair", with brooklyn n°1 afrobeateers Antibalas (!), the Doctor is back with a collection of goodies from various projects once again aggregated into "Forgotten Tracks From Da Hard Drive", a full-flowing concept-album of electronic acid grooves, slams and vibes. Extracted from this new album [exclusively for ParisDJs.com web galaxy!!] is "Kind Of Dry", featuring Spontane's MC Jester, a blast of punk slam soaked in pure Doctor L electronic-acid-orgasonics. The New Thing happens HERE! Djouls

Bled Party : une plongée dans les rare grooves nord-africains...
Pour commencer, entre Fela et John Lee Hooker il y a le désert d'où viennent Toumast, un groupe nigérien au premier album imparable. Viennent ensuite quelques valeurs sûres du groove égyptien, dansant, pop ou bluesy, avec Ali Hassan Kuban, Mohamed Mounir et Amr Diab. Puis avec Abranis on touche le culte, grâce à cette cette face B de 45 tours pré-electro datant de 1973. Ahmed Fakrun, un lybien exilé un temps en Italie, invente lui la soul-disco-world avec "Nisyan" - puisqu'on vous dit culte! Vigon, l'Otis Redding arabe, enregistra lui à Paris dans les 70's, et notamment cet incroyable 45 tours: "Pollution" plus que jamais d'actualité. Et pour finir: le jerk tribal furieusement éthylique de Bon Destiny, "Wang Dang"...

Tracklisting :
01. Toumast - Inolame
(from 'Ishumar' album, 2006 / Le Village Vert) NIGER/FRANCE
02. Ali Hassan Kuban - Habibi
(from 'Walk Like A Nubian' LP) EGYPT
03. Mohamed Mounir - Oh Baba
(from 'Mohamed Mounir' album, 1989 / Monson) EGYPT
04. Les Abranis - Thilleli
(from 'El Mossika' 7 inch, 1973 / La Voix du Globe)
05. Ahmed Fakrun - Nisyan
(from 'Nisyan' 7 inch, 1977 / Polydor) ITALY
06. Amr Diab - El Yaani
(from 'Hitlist Egypt' compilation, 1990 / Mango) EGYPT
07. Vigon - Pollution
(from 'Pollution' 7 inch, 197? / Barclay) FRANCE
08. Bob Destiny - Wang Dang
