The pun’s so good I’m surprised no-one’s done it before: Fela Soul is an album of De La Soul vocals over Fela Kuti loops. The perfect salve after hearing the entire Beatles back catalogue played at the same time.

MC Bener One – What up Ese (Prod by DJ Tranzo) by djtranzo

Had to share this! Any moombahton remix of a Native Tongues track is gonna get me giddy. A whole compilation gives me full on vertigo. Twenty plus remixes of tracks from De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Black Sheep and their golden age brethren. Boom bap for 2011.

If you tried to nail down Peyoti For President‘s sound using musical genres then Flamenco and Punk are going to feature highly. This is why we couldn’t resist coming up with a cheeky Spanish homage to The Clash for this weekend’s Live Sunday flyer.

Come down to Camino on July 10 to see three of their members play a free live gig with support from the FFTANG! Soundsistema.

Ethiopian funk meets boom bap hip-hop from the Brighton duo Ye Mighty. Similar to last year’s Cut Chemist album Sound Of The Police or the immense Nephews of Phela remix of Mulatu Astatke. First track is gratis but the whole album’s killer.

DJ Tomasc shows us what big-beat era Beasties would have sounded like if they’d have discovered tubas in the late 90s instead of Fatboy Slim. Balkan Movin…

Admittedly on this track by DJ Stanbul the Beasties acapella is slightly unnecessary (and frustratingly off-beat towards the end) but the urban-balkan-meets-french-electro-house mash-up underpinning it more than makes amends. Interbalkanic…

Dj Rüstico from Argentina specialises in cumbia and balkan remixes. Here’s Triple Trouble again…

And if you haven’t tired of the concept so far, exhaust yourself with this selection by DJ Magyar who takes the brief and runs with it…
