Coming out February 19 is the coolest thing I’ve heard in a whiiiile: DJ Katapila. I was walking in the market in Kumasi with Ata Kak last spring and we went to a shop full of tapes. Tehre were two bootleg Katapila tapes there, didn’t know what they were but when I heard them on the portable deck later that night I was pretty shocked! Ghanaian electronic music producer and hard-working DJ is a 42-year-old Fruity Loops head with an ear toward Detroit and Chicago dance music. His album from 2009 Trotro is available for pre-order at Boomkat and iTunes and elsewhere.
Check out the song “Cocoawra” here.
And a DJ mix by him that’s completely bonkers right here.
