What do you need to know Something about a ground floor flat in one of Berlin's old blocks, eating eggs and spinach, listening to the Cramps radio show. ''How about we start a soundsystem post jug band pre rock n blues, dealing in some nasty rhythm and some ten

Gents step right up !Starring..

The latest instalment in the on-going Lee Perry remix series is the long-awaited dubplate with Mala DMZ at the controls. A-side 'Like The Way You Should' finds LSP crooning the track's title through a lattice-work of intricately-constructed rhythms, while ringing piano chords chime, synths mesh in shifting layers, and a deep half-time beat fuels irresistable forward motion. On the flip, 'Obeah Room' drills down into harder strata, striking a seam of dense drum hits that surfaces in a stop-start pattern, driven by ominous sub-bass swells that sound like they're being extruded from the planet's very own sub-mantle magma. Strictly limited pressing of 1500 copies.

Chicha is a sort of psychedelic cumbia-based music from the Amazon basin in Peru, w/incessant twangy surf guitar playing montunos alongside propulsive, percolating percussion. Greenwood Rhythm Coalition provide the remix on the B.

LOrchestre Kanaga De Mopti is one of the best West African modern orchestras which originated from a wide range of state funding. In 1977 the Malian government-owned label Mali Kunkan released a series of LPs including this holy grail of Malian music, one of the most rare and sought after records from Mali, going for over $400 (US) on ebay. Finally this timeless classic is officially available again including fully restored artwork and audio, plus in-depth liner notes about Mali and LOrchestre Kanaga De Mopti.

In the 1960s, during the First Republic of Mali, modern orchestras were encouraged and promoted by Modibo Keitas government. Starting in 1960, Bani Jazz became the city and regions main orchestra be-fore the name changed to the Orchestre Rgional de Mopti in the wake of Malis Second Republic in 1969. At the end of 1970, the band published its first album under the name Orchestre Rgional de Mopti. This record clearly helped to define Moptis vibrant cultural heritage under the aegis of bandleader Sory Bamba. Trumpet player, flautist, traveller and songwriter, Bamba already had a strong musical experience when he took over the orchestra in 1969.

Around 1976, the Mopti orchestra became the Kanaga De Mopti, and in July of that year, after months of intense musical and cultural research in Malis capital, the orchestra visited the Radio Mali recording stu-dio in order to document its new musical evolution. Six of these songs were featured on the only album of Kanaga De Mopti released in 1977 courtesy of Mali Kunkan, an ad hoc label originating from the Ministry of Youth, Sports, Art and Culture. Stuck into the past but looking towards the future with its incredible mix of traditional and modern instruments, the Kanaga instantly touches and defines the highest levels of African music classicism.
