Review: We, The People is Pasteur Lappe's 1979 masterpiece, and what is surely an LP that has helped the afro-funky sound to grow and prosper throughout the years. Africa Seven have done us the favour of digitising such an iconic six-tracker, and it just makes so much sense given today's fascination with outer national sounds of all variations. This is pure funky from start to finish, such as in "More Sekele Movement (Papas NI Name)", about there is something cosmic, deeper, and more experimental behind its seductive hypnosis. It's also pure party music through and through, never going to deep as to leave the dancers running dry - it's quite simply an essential piece of music to have in your arsenal, and a very early African funk bomb to show off in the discussion threads...

Review: The Paris/London based reissue label, Africa Seven, have a strongly defined manifesto, in which they see it as their 'mission to re-release hard to find records with strong connections to the African Continent'. Here they've done it again, uncovering the rare as hen's teeth African Sound LP by super-rare Cameroonian group Dikalo. The band was led by the one and only Eko Roosevelt who not only sang, but played guitar, arranged all the music even conducted the group too. Highlights include the choppy electro Afro-funk of "Equality", the wah-wah and keys freak out "Old Fisher Man" and the synth squelches of "Yeh Bobe".

Review: When it comes to rare Afro reissues no one comes close to the Africa Seven label. Here they out do themselves again, presenting the third long player by iconic Malian music hero Sorry Bamba. This guy has been making innovative records for five decades, fusing traditional Malian music with the county's post-colonial contemporary vibes along the way. This particular record came out 38 years ago through the Parisian Sonafric outlet. As per usual with African Seven releases, this album has been extensively restored and re-mastered to 'a spectral analysis level'. Also in the pipeline are re-issues of Bamba's first and second albums too. We really are spoiled!

Review: Crate-digging reissue specialists Africa Seven has decided to flip the script on this fantastic album, asking a range of contemporary producers to "re-imagine" a string of rare soul, funk, Afrobeat and disco jams. Thrillingly for those who remember the original West London broken beat scene, the comp contains some killer "bruk" revisions - not least Silkie's brilliantly fluid and groovy take on Ekambi Brillant's "Soul Castle" and EVM's rolling, Bugz in the Attic style revision of M'Bamina's "Mosi Zole". Elsewhere, Appleblim delivers a typically fuzzy and bass heavy rework of Sorry Bamba, Dj Food chops up Sookie's organ-laden funk slammer "Rhythm on Rhythm" an IDM heroes Plaid join the dots between vintage African jazz and woozy electronica. In a word: superb.
