SWENKA is back this Sunday May 27 w/ DJ Munch!

May 9, 2012 – 11:42 am

 

SWENKA is back this Sunday May 27, at the Wonderland Ballroom this Memorial Day Weekend.

We A Go play for you the sounds of Africa today, deeply rooted in the art, culture and revolutions of the past, and squarely focused on the future. Kuduro, Kwaito, Hip Life, Naija, Coupe-Decale, South African House, Reggae, Hip-Hop, Afro-Pop, and Tropical Bass will all be blended in a pan-African dish simmered hot & spicy.

This time around, we’ve invited DC’s own DJ Munch (Hedrush Music, Africa Underground) to join our celebration of the genre-crossing and rapidly evolving Afropolitan diaspora. Also holding it down from the SWENKA fam are Mothershiester (Africa is Not a Country, Anthology of Booty, Traveling While Black Isn’t Easy) and your host Brian Senyo.

Butterz Summer Zip

May 15, 2012 – 1:35 pm

UK Grime/Bass Label Butterz continues to push the limits of music marketing and brand development. Seriously, the only labels that have as consistant a brand look and feel, I think, at Ninjatune, Warp, and maybe Night Slugs, and Butterz is really doing it right at street level. I mean, an “open source record label”?!? That is just awesome.

Elijah and Skilliam are blessing the internets with another one of their huge ZIP files for the season. Sign up for their newsletter to grab it here.

The Busy Twist – LDN Luanda (Free Download)

May 6, 2012 – 1:26 am

I’m still not quite sure how I landed on their soundcloud page, but I am psyched I did. LDN Luanda has a similar feel to Batida, in that is take percussive house/Kuduro/Funky fusion effect to a delicious lusophonic loop to create an absolute banger of a track.
