PUNK IN AFRICA official selection mixed by dj zhao (download link below) by Punk In Africa
In the era of branded lifestyle packaging, still sometimes something happens which makes us question our ideas of who makes/listens to what, what that means, how this informs the construction of social identity, whose values are projected by which aesthetic, and which “genres” are assigned to what class and ethnic group. I think the release of this film may be one of those times, and i hope this mix is one of those things, demonstrating the connectedness between Rock and Roll and its African roots, between power chords and dance beats, between decades past and today, between defiant youth in London and defiant youth in Zimbabwe – and that the same rhythmic blood and spirit of revolt runs in all of our veins.

Berlin’s own DJ Zhao and the man behind Ngoma Soundsystem put a new mix online: 20min Rhythm Force – the title says it all: expect strictly drumming loops from the House and Tropical field.

If you’re in Berlin you shouldn’t miss tonights Ngoma party feat. the Angolan rapper Diamond Dog, Marflix (TropicalBass.com), Jahmike and of course Zhao longside his drummer Marcel. Heating up the weekend for sure!

Still warmly recommended is the Nothern Tropikal mix – an interesting selection of tracks representing the western hemisphere echo of African music.

Donaeo.com proudly presents the “Move To Da Gyal Dem” EP! Next to the orginal version, which was already featured a couple of times on tropicalbass.com before, the EP includes Remixes from the producers Mensah, David Hearbreak (no it’s not a Moombahton Remix!) and Eddie K plus the great vocal Remix by Ghana’s Rap-Superstar Sarkodie.
