While in Paris, I went yesterday to the Electronic Siesta (”Sieste electronique”) at the Museum Du Quai Branly in Paris to hear Secousse sound system. Invited to explore the vast music and field recording selection of the Musée Du Quai Branly, DJ Tron, formerly from Radioclit, presented Arabian music and Secousse MC Mo´Laudi presented various African tracks in decks-n-effex manner. Laying in the sun and enjoying the great mix of tracks I felt like being in a tropical garden on some Southern Island but not in the posh 7th arrondissement next to the Eiffel tower. If you´re in Paris this summer, make sure to visit the Museum on Sundays, it´s probably the best afternoon hangout in the city of love right now.

Our UK sister blog, Ghetto Bassquake, sent us a link to their new single “Fraudian Slip”, released by A.J. Holmes + Hackney Empire on the very own Ghetto Bassquake label. It features a remix of one of our current faves, Erick Rincon. The 17 year old Monterrey Elektro Tribal don – who, by the way, also just remixed my “Hands Up” track out soon – made a slick Guarachero version out of “Fraudian Slip” that will please any dancefloor. Download it from here.

Our favourite London Afro Funksters Radioclit will drop a special issue of their legendary Secousse night @ London´s Nottinghill Carnival next week Monday (Aug 25th).

Fo´sure: No sleep guaranteed. Yeah bwoayyyyy!
