Our pal Anx Beat from Brussels just released his first video in Lingala, commenting the appalling situation in his native Democratic Republic of Congo.

That big 80's sound! Anyone recognize the drum machine?

Rapper Anx Beat is working with producer Ben Schwag. This is going to be one interesting gig.

See that machine? That's a 3M 24-track tape recorder - the same model on which Michael Jackson recorded "Thriller" (but not the same actual machine).

It still works. But now it's mostly used to digitize old tapes. If you have old 90s songs that are ready for a revival, you know where to go. Spotify is calling!

The dude in the middle is Antonio Shaka from Shaka y Dres, who dropped into our studio for a chat. Apparently, some music might be on the way - but we can't tell you that, so keep it to yourself.

🎧 Maybe the #90sRevival is sitting right in your storage room. Check your old tapes. They may hold treasures of history and music, yet they're at risk of being lost forever!

Remember, these recordings are not just tapes, they are assets waiting to be re-explored and reinvigorated. They could be your ticket to creating the next big hit! Stay tuned for tips on how to bring life back to these old gems. #RecordingRevival #musicbiz #recordlabel

So much to unpack, as they say. Did I really live in the 80s? Seems like a planet away.

Our pal Ben Schwag has been restoring old tapes - and came across some vocals by Johnny Guitar Watson and Sly Stone!

So for the first time in 40 in years, you can hear unreleased (and unmixed) music by these two. Schwag details it here (in French). If you don't understand it, just skip forward and enjoy the music straight from the mixing desk.

Our pal Ben Schwag will be back in Tunisia on March 16 for a workshop for puppeteers. Puppeteers? Yes, because many would like to film their shows but need an overview of what that entails.

If you know anyone that might be interested, forward them this post.

My birthday is coming up. Just sayin!

One for the train-spotters here

This is a picture from the 80s. Can anyone guess who the music legends on this photo are? And which R&B hits they worked on?

PS: I'm the only non-legend on there, of course, standing beside my guitar player at the time. Can you guess which one am I? These were my last days as a musician because the sound engineering and mixing bug took over :))))

Johnny Guitar Watson could boogie - who knew? We didn't.

We're currently working on unreleased tracks by Johnny (not this one).

Anyone out there ever play with him?

Great singer. Great writer.

Nina Simone and James Baldwin
