On its first album, Akoya found the perfect recipe to blow short but powerful tracks with all ingredients of a traditional afrobeat tune. Intense and positive ! This Pelotera alongside with titles such as Star Wars or U.S.A. make this album a must have.
Another one of my favorite AA titles. Snaky, jazzy melodies played over funky rhythms. One of those albums you won't even realize how often you've been playing it. bjlefebvre
Nothing revolutionnary here, but nicely done remixed dubs. At least I think tehre are remixes as I could recognize some bits of tracks here and there but I might be wrong. Anyways, it is a good one if you are deep in dub. Thibaut Devigne
Vivian Jackson (Yabby You) key album, that really was a collection of version singles/b-sides. Lessor known than some of his globally known peers he was a vital roots reggae artist. Mixing by King Tubby & Prince Jammy, the riddims are often rather sparse, which allows other instruments to shine. Still today a highly compelling release. This version is expanded -no filler at all; just deep.riddims. Nostro
