African Dope Soundsystem

As Amazon still hasn’t sent the cds I‘ve ordered with some of money I’ve just earned, you’d better have a review of this instead. African Dope Soundsystem describes itself as “a tight collaboration of Capetonian dub, reggae and dancehall DJs, MCs, live and electronic musicians, studio producers and video artists” and it’s pretty damn good.

I’m particularly fond of Teba’s nuskool reggae and Felix Laband’s downtempo efforts. As well as biogs and album listings, you’ll find samples and free downloads of complete tracks in a particularly lively package. It’s for the stuff like this that the Internet was made.
