CORTICEPS W/ MINUS KENDAL

Minus Kendal trods the outer reaches foraging for aural morsels, slinging you a monthly smorgasbord of sultry sonix from trenchcoat folk to silicone synthwave.

NTS GUIDE TO: ALBARIKA RECORDS

Based in Cotonou, Benin, which at the time was referred to as Dahomey, Albarika Records was founded by the French-born, Benin-based producer and entrepreneur, Emmanuel "Manu" Dibango, who had a significant influence on the local music scene. The label was instrumental in releasing records from some of the region's most prominent musicians during the golden age of African music. Many of the artists signed to Albarika Records were known for blending indigenous African rhythms with Western jazz, funk, and soul influences. This made their sound distinctive and part of a broader movement across West Africa during the 60s and 70s, as music became a form of social and political expression.

Funk Synth Pop Soul

56 DJs & Stones Throw Records employees, David Valencia, Kota Yoshioka, Nic Cabrera, Dain Valdes, Shane Sakanoi & Tim Nable bring you “Whodis?” twice a month on NTS Los Angeles. Expect to hear sounds ranging from Hip Hop, House, Jazz, Soul, Funk, Disco, Electro and more.
