Music You'd Better Listen To - Buraka Som Sistema - Kalemba (Afrikan Boy Remix) ...

MYBLT is a daily collection of songs you should be listening to.

It's also a series of short essays written as Aidan listens to the songs he's posting.

It may also be other things related to music you'd better listen to. More on that later.

You'd better be listening by now.

If your song is on here and you want it taken down, email me and I'll take it off straight away.

In the meantime, I'll be respectful and link to a couple of your sites.

Buraka Som Sistema - Kalemba (Afrikan Boy Remix)

Goddammit Tumblr. I just wrote this post. Stop deleting my writing into the dead spaces and unexplored corners of the interwebs; I’m tired and losing my wit with each minute!

At least this song is energizing and bouncy.

I mentioned before, but you didn’t get to see it, that I never really got the hype around Buraka Som Sistema until I heard this track earlier today. It’s minimal without sounding minimal, which is exactly what I like in dub-y (I have no idea what else you would call this, please enlighten me?) music. I’ll usually post really busy, loud, obnoxious tracks… but this only has a few layers, none of which really drives in its positive space, but Afrikan Boy’s use of the negative space, the silence, just makes this perfect for me.

I also apologized that I didn’t write yesterday. Only got home after the midnight cutoff, and I wanted to write after work, not after a night of HBO.

Black diamond black diamond hey! (Or is it blood diamond?)

Go watch The Rundown. Or IMDB it. We were talking about it last night, and this track reminded me of that.
