DJ Rhythm & Hues' Best Albums of 2014
World Skip The Beat regular Parker Mah, aka DJ Rhythm & Hues, delivers his favourite albums of 2014. This year’s list features a mix of old veterans and new blood, and an expanded section dedicated to live concerts.
Presented in no particular order, albums were selected, as always, based on originality, production value, consistency, and overall booty-shakingness. Check out also the 2012 and 2013 lists and head over to the WSTB mixcloud page for the Best of 2014 podcast.
FAVOURITE ALBUMS Han Han (Canada / Philippines) - Han Han - Independent (Bandcamp) Toronto-based Filipina rapper Han Han dropped this bomb in 2014 out of left field, a boom-bap manifesto in Tagalog and Cebuano mixing heavy bass and traditional sounds like kulintang gongs. Sample track: World Gong Crazy feat. DATU Sawtuha: Nine women from Egypt, Tunisia, Libya - Jakarta Records An ambitious project pairing female lyricists, musicians and MCs from Egypt, Tunisia and Libya with top-flight producers, among them Oddisee, Brenk and Blundetto. Recorded in Tunis, the album aims to speak out against the repression of democratic rights and gender inequality in the region. Word. Sample track: Youssra El Hawary - Ghareeb An El Medina (Brenk Remix) Ibibio Sound Machine (UK / Nigeria) - Ibibio Sound Machine - Soundway Records Fronted by London-born Nigerian singer Eno Williams, this debut album is a perfect union of Nigerian / Afro elements and refreshingly sparse and tasteful electronic production. Sample track: Prodigal Sun (Ayen Ake Feheke) Kafundó Vol. 1 - Digital Roots Music from Brazil - Dutty Artz Curated by Wolfram Lange and Maga Bo, this compilation, inspired from a word meaning a faraway and isolated place in Brazilian Portuguese, is a hard-hitting selection of music from the neglected peripheries of the Brazilian music scene. Sample track: Sombra - Chuva de Gente Estranha Al Dobson Jr. (UK) - Sounds from the Village Vol. 1 - Izwid London-based producer Al Dobson Jr. releases his solid debut full-length on Kutmah's Izwid label, a varied collection of head-nodding, hand-clapping, percussion-jangled afro-beats. Sample track: Maiysha Intiche (Germany / Argentina ) - Nawell - Konn Recordings (Bandcamp) The most mature and daring effort from Berlin-based Argentinian Intiché, continuing his pioneering experimentations in the genre he dubs Electronativo or Folcore, combining electronic production with indigenous South American samples and instruments. Sample track: Lemu Malombo Jazz Makers (South Africa) - Next Stop Soweto presents Spirit of Malombo - Malombo, Jabula, Jazz Afrika 1966-1984 - Strut Records The forgotten oeuvre of Afro-jazz pioneer Julian Bahula, who first introduced indigenous Malombo drums alongside jazz flute and guitar in 1960s apartheid-era South Africa, is finally given the honour it deserves. Sample track: Hleziphi Tradisyon Ka (Guadeloupe) - Gwo Ka - Music of Guadeloupe, French West Indies - Soul Jazz Records Gwo-ka, like Haitain vaudou or Cuban santeria, is a musical and cultural product of African ancestry, forcibly brought to the French West indies via the slave trade. Soul Jazz has served up this newly-recorded Gwo-ka album featuring some of its best living practitioners. Sample track: Adam é Eve (feat. Patrick Tulippe) Francis Bebey (Cameroon) - Psychedelic Sanza 1982-1984 - Born Bad Records A rhythm-driven and deeply spiritual collection of material from Cameroonian sonic sculptor Francis Bebey. Pygmy flutes, intoned lyrics and the titular Sanza create an atmosphere of wonder. Sample track: Forest Nativity
Chancha via Circuito (Argentina) - Amansara - Wonderwheel Recordings Argentinian outfit Chancha via Circuito, alias Pedro Canale, returns with his most inspired assemblage of bleeps, bangs and beats yet, propelled by the lead-off single featuring Toronto’s own Lido Pimienta. Sample track: Coplita feat. Miriam García Alsarah & the Nubatones (Sudan / US) - Silt & Silt Remixed - Wonderwheel Recordings Fresh off her 2013 collaboration with Débruit, Sudanese-born vocalist Alsarah returns to her roots with her stellar Nubatones debut, Silt. Raw and ready. Also noteworthy is the remix album, featuring contributions from Nickodemus, Boddhi Satva, Captain Planet and others. Sample track: Habibi Taal Karima (Liberia / Italy) - 2G - Soupu Music Also known as one half of the indie afrohouse duo Pepesoup, Liberian-Italian vocalist Karima Gehnyei pulls no punches with her audacious brand of social and political commentary over hard beats. Sample track: Jambo Bwana Rocky Marsiano (Portugal) - Meu Kamba - Akwaaba Music Lisbon-based producer D-Mars, aka Rocky Marsiano, dived deep into the collection of vinyl aficionado Rui Miguel Abreu and emerged with this sparkling roundup of tracks based on classic ditties from Cape Verde, Angola, Mozambique and Sao Tomé. Sample track: Esse Mambo Mestre Cupijó e Seu Ritmo (Brazil) - Siriá - Analog Africa An invigorating compilation documenting the little-known musical legacy of Mestre Cupijó, the progenitor of the little-known genre of Siria, a fusion between the music of the quilombos, and the indigenous people of the Amazon rainforest. Sample track: Tubarao Branco Sacassaia (Brazil) - Boca de Terra - Independent (Website) 2 years in the making, and with Renato Matos as their newest member, Brasilia-based Sacassaia release their electric second album, one heavy on afro-brazilian influences. Sample track: Dizeres Desertos
FAVOURITE EPs of 2014 Borchi (Mexico) - Ihcrob - Independent Ibeyi (Cuba/France) - Oya - XL Recordings Okmalumkoolkat (South Africa) - Holy Oxygen I - Affine Records Narcy (Canada / Iraq) - Nargisee - Independent Clap! Clap! (Italy) - Tambacounda - Black Acre FAVOURITE CONCERTS OF 2014

"Ma qui a Tor Sapienza, come in tutta Italia, nessuno ascolta, nessuno capisce, nessuno ha la volontà di cambiare veramente qualcosa. Nessuno, perché se ci fosse veramente qualcuno che sia ancora umano, lo sgombero di 50 MINORI VITTIME DELLE GUERRE CHE NOI STESSI APPOGGIAMO OGNI GIORNO attraverso i nostri voti elettorali, la nostra indifferenza verso chi soffre, e le nostre chiacchiere a vuoto che tentano invano di nascondere la nostra ipocrisia, lo sgombero di 50 poveri cristi non può essere considerata una vittoria. Perché quest’onda mediatica passerà, e passeranno tutti i politici, e tutto resterà uguale finché non saremo in grado di accorgerci che le persone contro cui tiriamo le bombe carta sono vittime dei nostri stessi carnefici, e l’unico modo in cui uscirne è allearsi, integrarsi e unirsi a loro, marciare verso un parlamento che assomiglia sempre più alla reggia di Versailles, e tagliare finalmente la testa a un pesce che puzza di merda, come questo quartiere, le cui fogne ricordano il vero stato delle cose ogni sera, da quando ho memoria." Matteo Abela
