this is how my hood work
Connections abound in this mix that features classic funk, disco, soul and house mostly from Africa and the Midwest United States, with a couple tracks from Europe. We trace the roots and offshoots of those styles and more.
This one starts off with African electronic and house grooves new and old in the first three tracks, then moves into glitchy footwork from Chicago, Gary and Detroit. Those lead us into a thumping dancehall track, and a mess of current afrobeats and contemporary African pop and rap in French and English from big names like Davido and Maleek Berry as well as more obscure artists such as MDM Crew and the blandly-named Fred. A couple RnB tracks follow that, and we end with soul, funk and house, mostly from Africa, but with a couple tracks from Chicago's Larry Heard/Mr. Fingers mixed in.
This mix was made for radio play, so it is edited. No sinning here.
