NTS GUIDE TO: ALBARIKA RECORDS

Based in Cotonou, Benin, which at the time was referred to as Dahomey, Albarika Records was founded by the French-born, Benin-based producer and entrepreneur, Emmanuel "Manu" Dibango, who had a significant influence on the local music scene. The label was instrumental in releasing records from some of the region's most prominent musicians during the golden age of African music. Many of the artists signed to Albarika Records were known for blending indigenous African rhythms with Western jazz, funk, and soul influences. This made their sound distinctive and part of a broader movement across West Africa during the 60s and 70s, as music became a form of social and political expression.

Answering Machine w/ Meg Mills

Transmitted from under the perpetually grey skies of West Yorkshire, fill your ears with a selection of sounds from hardcore/punk to metal, folk and more, curated by musician Meg Mills.

Bashment Dancehall

Sending it out to the stunner in the fuchsia hijab with the light eyes - it’s straight hip hop, r’n’b and dancehall, rarefied with that Middle Eastern sparkle.
