Review: Canopy's latest release, "Funky Man Dey Sleep" (CNPY006), marks an exciting collaboration between the label and the multi-talented Spanish producer Kiko Navarro, joined by the formidable vocal prowess of Kaleta and the musical virtuosity of The Ibibio Horns. Kiko Navarro, drawing from his vast musical repertoire, skillfully crafts an Afro-infused groove that pays homage to the funk, disco, and afrobeat sounds that once set Nigerian and West African dancefloors ablaze in the late 1970s. "Funky Man Dey Sleep" serves as a spirited tribute to these influential genres, reinvigorating them with a modern twist. Kiko Navarro dons his KOKI persona, unleashing an energetic transformation that propels the listener into a high-octane sonic journey. Here, live bass and horns take a backseat as an insistent and pulsating acid-inspired bassline takes center stage. This switch-up ushers in a chunkier, house-oriented vision that showcases Kiko Navarro's versatility and innovative approach to music production.

Review: You'd expect a collaboration between Columbia-based fusionist Bosq, Ibibio Sound System's horn section and vocalist Kaleta to be pretty darn good, and 'Song For Ehi' most certainly is. Inspired by a combination of classic Edo-funk, Afro-disco and reggae disco, it starts with the original version delivering a near perfect mix of timbales-sporting dub disco grooves, reverb-laden lead vocals, Afro-funk guitar licks, Afrobeat-esque organ licks and punchy horns. The track's inherent dubbiness is further explored on the revision, which adds extra layers of percussion and the kind of breathless dancefloor weight that marks out the greatest dub disco workouts. In a word: essential!
