I hear you and I did pick up The afronaughts upon recommendations
of this list. Given the flow of tracks, labels and general musical info
floating around in this forum, I like to be inspired and enlightened
in my choices of music.
I listened to Transcend me in my vinylhangout and though I
had a slightly weird feeling about it, I thought I would give it
a chance. Only problem is that does get people bewildered.
It is definately a track for late in the evening provided you
got an enthusiatic crowd or you play West London.
I like this list for the hype that is sometimes generated,
like it so happened with Dj Patife - Sambassim.
On the other hand - dont (always) believe the hype.
Wax, cph
