Just days after London basked in heat & sunshine, MADERA finds himself reaching for the thermostat as ill winds, tumbling temperatures and general dankness descend on the capital. Sad face. But the tunes are happy and bright as always on the SMS show. Happy face.
Featuring two tracks by Wagner Pa and a remix of La Troba Kung Fu from the compilation 'Turntables on Las Ramblas' just out on Wonderwheel Recordings. Plus fresh music direct from Cuba with Qva Libre, Cumbia from Belgium with Maguare, psychedelic Salsa from New York with La Mecánica Popular, another track from the new Wara album and a classic from Irakere. Plus Cal is joined by Alex Sutton from East London based migrant - community organisation Praxis who organise The New Voices Festival happening this year on the 13th July and we drop tracks from Los Chinches and The Fontanelles both on the bill.
At last, its Summer in London, and all of a sudden music sounds much much better… so apart from a few brief dark cloudy musical moments, its a wall-to-wall vitamin D overload on today's show. Don't forget to apply sun screen before listening...
Latin bass special taking in some electro-dembow from NYC's Thornato on the remix for DJ Shotnez, cumbia beats from Frikstailers, future Venezuelan sounds from Don Beto, carnival house from Bert on Beats and a brand new Wara remix from London's own Subculture Sounds. Plus a super exclusive mix from Flowsnatcha's DJ Snatcha.
Alongside the usual myriad of genre busting musical nuggets, MADERA shows off his French skills interviewing JUPITER, rising star of the West African music scene. Fear not, non - Francophones, here is a loose translation of what was said… allez, salut maintenant!
