Love yourself. Be yourself.
As I was preparing last Friday's TGIF! post, I realised a really serious ommission on my part – I've never dedicated a post to South African duo, Liquideep! You may know that I am partial to some good soulful house and here's an act that does it mellow and oh so well. I am happy to finally present you with some Liquideep goodness (RSS readers click here).
Boddhi Satva, Central African Republic-born DJ/Producer has made some special music with his recent release, Ancestral Soul Interpretations Part 1. A collection of songs reworked with his distinct Ancestral Soul sound, it features artists including Bjork, Drake, Erykah Badu, Frank Ocean, Gyptian, Jill Scott, Meshell Ndegeocello, Radiohead, Rihanna, Stevie Wonder and Usher!
As you may know, I LOVE house music with soul and this description of Boddhi's sound is quite close to explaining why: "a generous and extravagant music that tells real life stories as well as makes people give their whole self up to limitless and code-stripped styles of dance – ritualistic, erotic, ecstatic, jubilant."
Listen to and download Ancestral Soul Interpretations here or here and download it for free on Boddhi's site. You can also download Boddhi's single Nankoumanjan featuring Malian singer Mangala Camara here – video below (videos here for those reading via RSS):
Purchase Boddhi Satva's latest album Invocation on iTunes or Amazon.
