/// This month at AFRO-DUB SESSIONS we’re proud to present featured guest DJ BRIAN SHIMKOVITZ of AWESOME TAPES FROM AFRICA.

After a stint in Ghana researching Hip-Hop music, Brian has accumulated thousands of cassette tapes of rare African music from Zimbabwe to Ethiopia to Senegal. He has been sharing his bounty through his popular blog and his DJ mixes, both of which have been featured in Fader, XLR8R, The Wire, The Guardian, and The Village Voice.

In keeping with the African spirit of the night, DJ AFRO-MARC of the acclaimed AFROBEAT BLOG will also stop by to play some choice Afrobeat and global music cuts from his collection.

As usual, the night features two performances by SUPER HI-FI, the resident Afro-Dub band which has been packing the house with their creative melding of Afrobeat and Dub.

SLF resident DJ’s LINH, Q-MASTAH and LIL TIGER will keep the party popping on the decks. And of course, the party is FREE all night long. ///

This week at SOUNDLIB, crate-diggers DJ LINH and BERT of Wax Poetics will join us to share some gems from their music collections.

Some of y’all may know LINH from her sets at our monthly Afro-Dub Sessions, where she’s been throwing down some killer African records alongside some great reggae and dub each month. BERT hails from the supremely knowledgeable team at Wax Poetics, the magazine of record for discerning record and music aficionados, and probably the best source of music journalism on the planet. The Wax Poetics crew know. their. shit. I know they’ll have some great tunes to share this week.

This week at SOUNDLIB we’re honored to have our friend KUNAL MERCHANT spin with us.

Kunal recently released the critically acclaimed Hindustani Gangster project with his production team Music Without Borders. The album, which has been featured on Jay-Z’s blog and will be in GQ India this month, fuses Indian-style beats and sounds with Jay-Z’s American Gangster album to refashion it as the passionate tale of a Mumbai hustler’s sordid lifestyle.

You can check out the album here: hindustanigangster.com

KUNAL’s influences range from Depeche Mode to Outkast, Massive Attack to Classical Indian music, and he kills it on the decks. He’ll be doing a special Biggie set to commemorate the anniversary of the Brooklyn legend’s passing.

DJ LIL TIGER will also be on hand delivering his trademark selections of soul (new and old), Hip-Hop, afrobeat, house, reggae and much more.

As always, it’s FREE all night. The party starts at 9pm. Hope to see you there. Flier and pertinent info below:
