I can live without ever hearing another Afrobeat record, but this is among the best I've run across by a modern outfit. Like Bokoor Sound Special, will play on the radio

Smoking hot my friend ,,,,,,,really feeling the 6/8 on on Ilu Baje....also Bokoor Sound Special is Bass HEAVY !!

Dom Servini, Wah Wah 45s, Trust the DJ

Well GOD DAMN brother! Thanks for these serious fire-starters right here. That Bokoor remix is all love... finally someone is giving a bangin' beat to these beautiful Highlife harmonies. Already mixed your "Afro Spot" at Afro Funke' (our Afro spot) and folks were literally yelling like it was their favorite tune. But maaan, N.P.G. is the one that's got me lately. Expect to hear them all on the KCRW show too... I can't wait to share them with the people!
Jeremy Sole's Musaics (KCRW / Afro Funke' / Bembe)

Sick!
Jason Bentley KCRW

It's bangin!
Garth Trinidad (KCRW/Garth Trinidad Sound)

Loving Afro Spot which definitely has the biggabush sound nicely ingrained there. Ilu Baje is a favourite with the slightly off-kilter rhythms and melodies.

Great little off-kilter number you've got with Ilu Baje. Love the organ on that one.

Amazing package! Love all the cuts and although it is clearly and afro vibes thing, has a strong jazz aroma for me. Absolutely wicked.

Cool sounds + vibes. Liking the "Afro Spot" track the most I think.... I think "Ilu Baje" is just an incredibly sick tune as well...can't stop listening to that one actually. Looking forward to playing it out in the right situation.
