Sorry for the delay! I’ve just got out from recording and mixing the Stac album! Had to take a little break from the studio and rescue my ears but now I’m back! And we have a lovely bunch of tunes for you this month.

Plenty of new albums to feature here including the latest Erykah, Bonobo, Whitefield Brothers and Soundway Nigeria Afrobeat Special compilations. Something new from me, something new from Stac, something new from the Hackney Colliery Band and something old and blue to finish with.

For those of you in London you can catch me DJing with Dom next Friday at the Jazz Café hosting the incredible Hackney Colliery Band with support from the Joe Acheson Quartet and the Boxettes! Not to be missed.

Enjoy!

Hot on the heels of the February podcast… I’ve been hoping to bring the publish date forward a little on these monthly mixes and I am springing forward in March because I got a bit over excited about all the music I had around me.

I’ve always had a massive amount of love for the many varied forms of music around Africa but this is probably the first time I’ve gone into that properly on this podcast.

Here there is music from Mali, South Africa, Nigeria, Cameroon, Ghana and music from around the world that has been inspired by these countries and more.

There is music old and new here – I’ve been DJing a lot recently so I wanted to get stuck into a proper dance floor mix like the ones I have been playing out. So I hope you will appreciate my first proper DJ mix in AGES!

And please remember to get your tickets to the very important Simon Says… gig at the Jazz Café in London on March 25th. More details available at www.wahwah45s.com.
