DJ LINEUP:
Bicoastal ‘gumbo funk’ producer Captain Planet's sophomore album Esperanto Slang (out 10/7 via Bastard Jazz) is the follow-up to his outstanding Mystery Trip Vol. 1 mixtape from 2012. Esperanto Slang presents an eclectic collection of beats and dance-infused collaborations with artists from across the globe, including Sudanese songstress Alsarah, Antibalas‘ Chico Mann and several others. The diverse productions on the 11-track album blend a wide range of styles from “NY hip-hop, UK bass and Turkish psychedelic, to Nigerian afrobeat and Amazonian funk.” Listen to the summertime anthem “In The Gray” and the Brazilian samba funk "Tudo De Bom" off Esperanto Slang.
Oscar P is recognized as an innovator and force in New York's DJ scene. His musical style fuses influences from not only NYC, but also Chicago, Detroit and Johannesburg. He is the leading force behind Afro Rebel Music, which is Open Bar Music's spin-off label dedicated to South African deep house.
DJ Underdog is one of the apostles of Washington DC's Afro-futuristic scene, and of course resident behind the decks at our monthly #OKAYAFRICADC party. His “Afrobeat For Your Soul” monthly acquired legendary status. For more from Underdog download his excellent Africa In Your Earbuds mixtape.
