Alright alright, here we go. Funky funk. Pulling this one out from the dust, Adriatique with a smooth track with wonderful vocals.

Laolu & Raoul K- Djougou Yah (Ft. Ahmed Sosso)

Laolu is an artist we have featured before here at Sniffer. The Dele Sosomi remix was a tribal hit and this track is also in the same lucious bracket. ‘Djougou’ is an instant ear worm full of culture and flair. Nice bass - native vocals- infectious rhythm. ‘Compost records’ have swallowed up this Geneva based... Continue Reading →

O’Flynn- Desmond’s Empire

I had the pleasure of catching 'O'Flynn' belting out a superb 4 hour set last night in 'Phonox-Brixton'. The man is pure filth, mixing tribal-techno-Experimental styles together to create a rich and complete journey of captivating sounds. Ninja Tune sure know the right artists to sign- I do not know if 'O'Flynn' has an Irish... Continue Reading →

Its rare that a song can simultaneously induce feelings of euphoria and sadness, wonder and anxiety, anger and contentment, desire and appreciation - but when listening to this, its like every emotion and suppressed thought and feeling comes pouring out. Imagine... Continue Reading →
