Kactus Hunters - Born 2 Fight!
(Exclusive MP3 download on ParisDJs.com) Mind Service, 2009-08-29

A psychedelic project re-unifying old pals Doctor L and Mister Baby (from french funk band F.F.F.), Kactus Hunters is quite amazing... Melting psyched pop, astral rock, abstract hip hop and free jazz into futuristic downtempo funk, the album Unlimited Land released in 2006 has been blowing minds ever since with its malicious audio and visual hallucinations. Collectors might want to try to file this between Funkadelic and Funkstorung, or between Pink Floyd and Autechre.
We're happy to offer here another piece of the Kactus Hunters puzzle, with an exclusive unreleased take of Born 2 Fight!, all rough and trippy, soulful abstract hip-hop.

Lyrics Born - I Like It, I Love It (Grant Phabao Remix)
(Exclusive MP3 download on ParisDjs.com) 2009-08-13

When Berkeley hip hop meets Jamaican reggae...

Pressure keeps on rising for the upcoming releases of Grant Phabao's three (!) new albums with The Lone Ranger, Carlton Livingston and The Jays (on his own label T.I.M.E.C. co-run with Djouls and Captain Detendu)... The french dubmeister offers here a bouncy reggae rework of I Like It, I Love It, taken from last year's hit album Everywhere At Once (released on Quannum/ANTI). It's kind of a cousin of the N.A.S.A. remix he did earlier this year (featuring David Byrne and Chuck D.!) - all party-style with its rolling drum breaks and hookish chorus-like lyrics all along! A certified floor filler already tested and approved by fellow DJ Erik Rug at is famous WaxGroove nights.

More Grant Phabao remixes to be released and/or podcasted soon for Tosca, Diesler feat. Laura Vane, Antipop Consortium, Le Damn Dog, Ocote Soul Sounds (all official ones!)...

Antibalas and Doctor L - Family Affair
(Exclusive MP3 download on ParisDJs.com) Mind Service, 2009-08-02

Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra had some spare time during their last 2006 french tour... They jumped in Doctor L's studio on a lazy sunday afternoon, and cooked with him a killer afrobeat version of Sly Stone's classic Family Affair! At the end of the day, this future classic was done and everything's in there: Fela-inspired vocals from the all-mighty Amayo, phat afro-broken beat, sweat horns and chorus vocals and the magic Doctor's touch on the production... A Strictly limited 45 was released on the Mind Service label, quickly selling out. Comes summer 2009, Martin Perna and Amayo visiting us in Paris, recording new tracks with either Grant Phabao or Doctor L, partying all together with Curumin... and a brand new mix of this famous Sly Stone cover cooked by Doctor L especially for Paris DJs! Martin Perna, Antibalas' leader, will be back in those pages quite soon with an exclusive mix of unreleased rarities from Antibalas and from his Afro-Latin project Ocote Soul Sounds and Adrian Quesada (who just released a third fantastic album, get it asap!)...
