Various Artists - BONFIDO 002

The first record from Athens-based label Bonfido Disques drew plenty of love thanks to its canny spread of globally-minded edits and reworks, not least from Sirhan's simply delightful flute flex. The good news is the same producer leads the charge on this second round with an Afrobeat-laced banger that keeps the energy and spirit of the musical alive. Fixed Angles turns up the heat with a disco/Chicago house stomp, thumping away underneath 'Anikana', while Panama Cardoon keeps the tempo feisty and the vibes summery on 'Ibara'. Ziggy Phunk finishes the record off with the snappy, Shangaan-licked 'Ukudansa'.
