When it rains, it pours… Soundcloud Serendipity is back with a refreshing shower of (more or less) new tunes out of the online music troposphere.

Le1f with Nguzunguzu – Hate2Wait
This tune blew me away tonight. Dutty Artz associate, performance artist and rapper Le1f voicing over a Nguzunguzu beat in a dark and hypnotic manner – made to stick in your brain.

Two Fresh – Transatlantic Skanking (Sampology DUB remix)
New Dub refix by Sampology for Two Fresh’s “Transatlantic Skanking” – no Lady Chann vocals on this but nice echoes and delays.

DJ Orion – Woo Boost (Orion Guarachero Edit)
Ayayay – massive Guarachero edit of Rusko’s “Woo Bost” in the Borgore remix combined with the Toadally Krossed Out remix. Sounds like a latin dancehall transformed into a Super Mario game.

“Miss Doctor”, Appietus & 4×4′s hard-hitting, Funky-influenced Hiplife banger from Ghana, remixed by Mexican producer Paul Marmota. Sabroso!

Menea by Chico Ye

September edition of our radioshow Riddims Tropicale.
Back from Notting Hill Carnival in London we just jump right into a new edition of Riddims Tropicale. The Carnival itself was fantastic, even if the roads seem to get fuller and fuller every year. Anyway we meet some old and new friends, enjoyed the Caribbean kitchen (Roti & Chana & Pepper Sauce) and feting hard on the numerous events.
On this picture you see Poirier and myself taking over the Heatwave Fete in Brixton. :P

Beside tracks from the new compilation “Valeu” on Man Rec., a new exclusive Danny Scrilla track and new remixes by SoShifty this show has a focus on Coupe Decale (inspired by the Rue Princesse Festival last week in Berlin – more about this soon on TropicalBass.com). The last 30min we digg deep into Cadence, Bouyon and Soca from the Lesser Antilles of the Caribbean – Dominica and Martinique.

Riddims Tropicale #8 – August

The August edition with a focus on the Summer carnivals in the Caribbean and the diaspora (Rotterdam, Notting Hill UK, Miami, NY Labour Day,..) was never posted here because unfortunatly the last 20min got lost while recording the stream. I wanted to recover or redo the lost party but never found the time – but hey, the show is already 1h 40min listening pleasure!
