Our Stones Throw/Now Again Records Special continues with a Karl Hector 30mn Afro-Jazz mix. If you still haven't heard the 'Sahara Swing' album from Karl Hector & The Malcouns (alias the Poets Of Rhythm, better known for originating the Deep Funk movement in the 90s), GET IT NOW! It's one the best albums of 2008 along with the 'Menahan Street Band' one and a few others, in the same league as last year's 'Budos Band II'... simply the best psychedelic Afro-Funk record of 2008! And keep posted cos' a second 30mn slice of this 'Karl Hector Show Part 2' will be coming up on parisdjs.com in January 2009.
