Since my trip to Ethiopia two years ago I fall in love with the music of the eastafrican region. Maybe because of the Broken Flowers ost or the collaboration of the Hellocentrics with Mulatu Astatke people came to recognise more and more the mystic beauty of that sound. House remixes of mulatu´s hits were released, Nas & Damian sampled Yegeelle Tezeta, OHNO made a whole album going through some ethiopian crates..
Today I wanna show you a favorite blog of mine which is an endless source for african music: awesometapesfromafrica
Brian Shimkovitz from Brooklyn who runs the blog seems to own tons of cassettes from the motherland and he is digitalizing them for our pleasure. You can find all sorts of music there - from cheap, trashy electro reggae to deep funk.
"This is music you won't easily find anywhere else—except, perhaps in its region of origin."
The one I picked out is a very mellow one. As someone mentioned in the comments it´s Asters first recording. Incredible hypnotizing.. Download from awesometapesfromafrica and make shure to check out some of the other posts. But be careful to not get lost in these crates..
Since the 1.st time i heard about Grup Ses Beats i got really addcited. This music makes me high, the oriental influence is deeply embedded to my live because of my experience in my childhood at the middle east. Ersengalaktik is a Remix (2005) of the Beastie Boys classic "Intergalactic" and a beat drill for your speakers. iYi
Hey, it's Emay here once more and I'm extremely excited to finally release this project entitled Mind Altering Dynamics. This was actually originally supposed to be an EP, but than I ended up adding a couple additional tracks that I felt completed the project and it ended up being a small LP. I greatly appreciate all the support I've been receiving and I hope 2011 is a great year for everyone. I'm still planning to release my album based on sampling Slowdive and also some more Seeing Suge material with Star Slinger and Blackbird Blackbird for this year.

The group East Coast Avengers was created in 2008 by MCs Esoteric, trademarc and DJ/producer DC The MIDI Alien. Having dealt with almost 8 politically corrupt years of the Bush regime, the three banded together and the result was the controversial yet socially aware ‘Prison Planet’ album full of gritty production and razor sharp lyricism. The lead single and video, “Kill Bill O’Reilly” sparked a national outrage, getting the group’s visuals banned from myspace and youtube and even gaining them notoriety on Keith Olberman’s “Countdown” on MSNBC.
