Midweek Mixdown: Radio Martiko's Pan African Discotheque

Check out Radio Martiko's ace 85-minute mix of vintage gems from Nigeria, Benin, Martinique, Suriname and Angola below. 

Friends of the monkey:

It's been a while since you heard from us at Radio Martiko. You might think we've been sitting on our behinds doing nothing, but that's not true. We were actually working on new releases. As some of you might know, record plants are quite overbooked these days and lead times for production are currently running up to 10 months or more. After months of waiting, our latest release is almost ready and should be available by the end of May. We'll get back to you with more news about this soon.

In the meantime you can listen to our new mix: Pan African Discotheque available via Mixcloud right here. Hope you enjoy it! 

Whaddya mean you don't know John Broadway

Seems like someone should reissue John Broadway's Audience Limited, Vol. 1 album of guitar-heavy Nigerian Afro-funk from 1977.
