Maga Bo – has a new mix on Blentwell – this is one of the most exciting mixes I have heard in aaages. And I sell records for a living.
An incredible mix of grime, hip hop, wierd eastern stuff and broken up beats. Seamless.
The introduction at the start of the mix (it’s actually a Blentwell podcast) is great too.
They totally have an RSS Feed as well – and you can just grab their podcast. Awesome stuff.
It is rare to hear new and interesting stuff these days, so when I get to hear stuff like this I get a little bit nutty.
From his site:
Maga Bo is a DJ/producer working with an international collision of styles, sounds, location recordings from all continents and beats that have yet to be classified. A study in the digital contortions of hip hop, ragga, breakbeat and jungle drum ‘n’ bass, his sound is a divine (s)mashup of batucada, rai, capoeira, bhangra, and skewed electronic beats in a borderless conundrum of gritty street sounds, found and modified rhythms and melodies from Brazil, Morocco, Senegal, India and beyond. DJing and producing tracks with a portable laptop studio, he has worked and performed in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North and South America.
