Paris based creative collective Weareblind<\/a> may be a new name to us, but they have already created buzz in the past years doing videos for Nike’s We Run Paris campaign, working with Stussy and other labels. They drew our attention with a new mix freely available via Soundcloud, with a fine selection of African seventies music that has been sampled by (mostly western) artists.<\/p>\n

The usual suspects are there (Fela Kuti, Manu Dibango and the original of Waka Waka) but fortunately the crates of compiler Yannick Do<\/a> and dj B.Loo<\/a> run way deeper – any idea where the sample in ‘Raw Shit’ was taken from? Stop doing what you’re doing, download or stream, turn up the volume and get surprised. Also, expect a volume two, because obviously there’s more original sample material to be found (in fact, if you are a African hip hop radio regular you’ll remember a few instances we may have played over the years). This is the third in the Weareblind African Mixes series, and it’s the best so far (volume 2 here<\/a> and their World Cup mix here<\/a>).<\/p>\n
