For today, I wanted to share with you “Family Affair“, cover of the timeless classic originally recorded in 1971 by the American Band Sly & The Family Stone, reinterpreted here in a catchy dancefloor Afro Electronic Synth Disco Soul track, single only released in 1983 by the obscure South African band “Starlight” and produced by the composer & musician Peter ‘Hitman’ Moticoe – Enjoy !

For today, I wanted to share with you “Sid Houari Ya Mlah“, an insane groovy Electronic Synth Raï Funk Soul Boogie track taken from an obscure K7 tape recorded in France in the 80s & that is apparently the only album from the Algerian singer, horsewoman, theater actress and ex-academic scholar Chaba Malika Meddah.

This cassette was released on the mythical French tape label MCPE (or “Edition Production M.C.P.E.“) which brought together in the country the best productions of this style from this era.

Super obscure, hard to find and dancefloor tool here, hope you’ll like it – Enjoy !

For today, I wanted to share with you “Clin D’Oeil A Luc“, a deep balearic 90s electronic Island Synth Maloya Jazz Funk track, taken from the second album recorded in 1990 by the composer & musician Jean-Marc “Marco” Payet from Reunion island (Indian Ocean) probably in tribute to the legendary reunionese composer & violinist Marie Emilien Luçay Donat, better known as “Luc Donat“.

This song has the same vibes than the best ones from the mythical reunionese band “Ziskakan“, that I also really love – Hope you’ll like it, enjoy !

For today, I wanted to share with you “Something You’ll Never Forget“, an outstanding catchy Lo-Fi Electronic Afro Funk Synth track from the legendary mysterious Nigerian musician & producer William Onyeabor recorded in 1982 on his own Wilfilms record label, that is rumored to be the soundtrack of a movie he also produced.

This LP is actually a re recorded version of “Crashes In Love“, an earlier album released in 1977 that contains the same tracks (original had one more), but played in a less electronic way than that one presented here, which is my favorite of both – Hope you’ll like it, enjoy !
