Mamazonia : Odes to the Forest - Vol.1
Label: Tropical Twista Records

Want to support the front line defenders of the Amazon rain forest? Proceeds from this wonderful compilation of etheric ethno-tronica, put together by the art collective voodoohop, supports two organisations working with indigenous communities in that area. (www.kaninde.org.br/lista-projetos/ & iieb.org.br/projetos-e-programa…/povos-indigenas-2/ ) The tracks are all good, but Xique Xique, Philosamples and Bliz Nochi got more repeats in my ears.

Shpongle Static
Live at Ozra 2019
Label: Twisted Records Ltd

If you were wondering if the name meant this was the phenomenal fusion of two visionary musical talents, SHPONGLE (Simon Posford) & EAT STATIC (Merv Pepler), you would be correct! Cross pollinating their globally appealing psychedelic electronic music is certainly a treat and if you were lucky enough to attend this legendary Psychedelic Trance festival in Ozra, Hungary you could have seen it take place in front of your eyes. For the rest of us though, this landmark release will tell the tale of their combined sonic wizardry.

Dub Fx - Roots

Dub Fx - Roots

Dub Fx
Roots
Label: Convoy Music Group

Ben Stanford is Dub FX, a Melbourne born street performer, beat boxer and looping artist extraordinaire who exhibits strong poetic lyricism while exploring social, political and spiritual topics. Roots is more of an eclectic reggae album than an experimental loopy electronic release like his prior ones. He hits the dub hard, but amid the relentless bubble rhythm, he journeys through hip hop, soca and more on the way to Roots.

Basher Toe - Pasifika

Basher Toe
Pasifika
Label: Merkaba Music

Tribal dance music has been a favorite of mine for years and this release from Israeli bass producer Basher Toe (aka Chen Beer) is one of the hottest things I have heard in a long while! He spent time studying various ancient pacific cultures, aboriginal music styles, and tribal storytelling techniques, which he then combined with organic samples, hand instruments, and didgeridoos. These elements percolated, blossomed and erupted masterfully within the raw intensity of modern bass music to produce these 5 top notch tracks.
