You Can't Change A Man

Germany's Borrowed Identity gave Christy Essien's rare Afro jam You Can't Change A Man a DJ friendly rub. His soul steeped originals would make you think he's from Detroit. Check them out on Soundcloud.

DJ Meistro - Jigawa Groove

All time homie and my partner in crime for the monthly party Dirty Bombs in DC, DJ Meistro, recently came back from a summer in Nigeria and brought with him a ton of afro funk, disco, and rock lps and 12"s. I'm jealous.

Anyhow, he put together a killer mix of some of the best tunes he unearthed, called Jigawa Groove. This mix is crazy, full of funk bombs, disco bangers and some really ill psych rock kinda stuff. Check it here:

He also made a great edit of Buari's Iro Le Pa, off of one of the lp's he scored abroad. He actually came up on a few excellent US lps in Nigeria, kinda surprising, but always nice. This one isn't on the mix so be sure to grab it from his soundcloud or yousendit.
