International record dealer extraordinaire, Paulo of Superfly Records, recently put together this mix for Paris DJs, one of my favorite sites for mixes. Known for his record excavations from all corners of the globe, he stocks some of the coolest and rarest vinyl at his online shop (soon to be re-launched). Needless to say, I definitely owe a small chunk of my collection to that man.Paulo’s been busy putting together mixes using records he’s pulled on recent trips to Africa, this being the second in his Afrofunk Expressway series. The first volume in addition to another African mix can be downloaded at www.parisdjs.com.
African music is quickly becoming a bit of an obsession of mine, and I’m busy planning an African mix of my own for the site. Until then, I wanted to post this mix to get the African vibes out there. Hope you like it.
