ANALOG AFRICA

It’s been a while since we last shared the decks—whether in Tunisia or Greece—with my dear friend, Samy Ben Redjeb. But now, he’s back in Thessaloniki, and we’re ready to spread some seriously good vibes! Join us on Friday, May 23rd at Baobab, where we’ll be spinning vinyls and sharing music, all set to make you move. Get ready to shake your feet and dance like crazy—we can't wait to see you there! ❤️ 🔥Analog Africa—one of the most legendary labels and the very essence of African groove! Analog Africa’s records are unmistakable, whether they’re from Benin, Somalia, Cameroon or Cape Verde. They all have that distinctive blend of funk, soul and local traditions with a gloriously chaotic analogue charm – Analog Africa’s records always represent the epitome of African groove. Each project explores a scene or artist from anywhere across Africa and Afro-Latin America, building a snapshot of all things funky in that golden period. By dusting off rare finds, locating those responsible, and in many cases interviewing the principle artists behind these recordings, the all encompassing journey from transforming the source material into a sumptuous objet d’art is documented for posterity. In the process the world is introduced to obscure rhythms like Sato, Sakpata, Siria, Edo Funk, Dhanto, Sar, Bariba, Dendi, Gandjal, Kazukuta, sounds which are mixed in with all things disco during Samy´s DJ Sets.
