Third album of the yr. contender

I heard Girls' album "Album" for the first time on Friday and must recommend it/elevate it to album of the year contender status. Intermittently very good and brilliant. There will be something on it for this month's mix, but probably not the track below.

Another album of the yr. contender

I've loved the Intelligence since "Like" x7 and saw that they did a split with Thee Oh Sees. Then I saw the cover art for "Help" and bought it without having heard it. It's incredible. Check out the first two songs from the album below.

So, I guess since I took a month off to work on some other things it'll actually be 12 mixes this yr. Maybe I'll add a double disc one of these months if I'm ambitious and make good on the title's promise...

This one's a different flavor, inspired in part by a guy I met who's working on an Afrobeat film, the trailer for which is below. If you have any recommendations, please let me know since I've only just dipped my toe in.

1. Lady - Fela Kuti

2. Bumbo - Nomo

3. Buena - Morphine

4. White Rice Dub - Jah Thomas

5. No Discrimination - Tony Allen & His African Messengers
