This 2015 reissue from Awesome Tapes From Africa is the whole reason founder Brian Shimkovitz started the blog and the label that grew out of it. Some 13 years before, Brian found a cassette copy of Obaa Sima in Ghana, leading to the foundation of the ATFA blog and long-running effort to track Ata Kak. 4 years after ATFA became a label, Brian finally tracked down the musician and was granted permission to reissue Obaa Sima, using the second-hand tape purchased in Ghana as the source. The seven tracks on this LP are a winning tinny combination of highlife, rap, pop, and more. Not everyone's cup of tea but I think it's sensational.

Iconic mid 80s electro-pop-funk-soul from timeless voice Gwen Guthrie. Heaps of heaters on here but the biggie is of course, Ain't Nothing Goin' On But The Rent!

The third instalment of Theo Parrsih's highly successful 'Gentrified Love' series, featuring another OG Detroit legend - Amp Fiddler. Yet another deep, soulful, sun-kissed 12" set to light up many a dance floor. Another heater outta Detroit!
