Tilaye's Saxophone With The Dahlak Band
Tilaye Gebre was a central figure in Ethiopian music during the mid- to late 1970s, a period now hard to document but rich with talent. His saxophone and arrangements are likely featured on many recordings from Addis Ababa of that era. Despite Ethiopia’s limited formal musical institutions, Tilaye trained at the Haile Selassie First Theatre music school, where he began studying saxophone instead of guitar under mentor Ato Aymre Gemeda. This instrument became his lifelong expressive voice.

To Dream
Hold on to your mind! Led by Belfast-born phenom David Lewis, Andwella made three LPs circa 1970 for London’s Reflection label, redolent with Cream-y rock workouts, soaring post-Sgt.

Bird Brain Bath
The operating name of New Yorker Al Margolis, If, Bwana were a constant presence in the cassette days. This new record, Bird Brain Bath (Klanggalerie 7") is a wonderfully creaky slab of experimental noise high jinks. One side is entitled "Bird Brain", the other "Bird Bath". Each piece is eight minutes long and if they are played simultaneously they create the record's title tune. Using bird song, blasts from a virtual air rifle, keyboards and dweezly effects of all sorts, Margolis creates two fu…

I Feel Funky / Talkin' Talkin'
Matata were formed in Kenya in 1963, laying down their grooves in Nairobi's Brilliant Club before going on to record two albums in London in the early 70s. Both Air Fiesta and Independence are perfect nuggets of Afro-funk, but alas Matata were reportedly homesick and they disbanded to return home. Their short-lived legacy lives on though, and now Dynamites Cuts have turned to their second album to present two of the hottest joints on a cool and deadly 7". 'I Feel Funky' is one of the band's bigg…
Oi! Oi! Oi! (Nazi Skins Are NOT Electric)
"Oi! Oi! Oi! (Nazi Skins Are NOT Electric)" is a provocative 7-inch single by experimental performers Chris Lunch and Frieder Butzmann, released around 2005 on Mauerstadtmusik in Berlin. This anti-fascist punk track satirizes Nazi skinheads with its raw, electrified Oi! energy, flipping the genre's working-class roots into a sharp rebuke of far-right appropriation. Butzmann, known for his dadaist noise and performance art, teams up with Lunch's chaotic vocal style to deliver a jubilant, rebellio…
