Floating Points and the Eglo crew are good peoples….they’re hyper-talented too. I woke up this morning to an email from Fatima showing me the way to their latest Maida Vale session for Giles Peterson. Listening to it now, it’s pure vibes….transporting me away from the post bank-holiday pain…..it’s only right I share this.

You may or may not know that Shook Mag recently featured the whole click in their spendiferous last issue. Click here to get familiar.

Lastly, we’ve been waiting for the Vacuum Ep for ages….pressing problems apparently. Anyway, until it actually exists, here’s a virtual version for your pleasure…

Preview: Shafiq Husayn ‘En’ A Free Ka’

Ancient Africa has given us more than we know. sciences, principles, processes and most of all knowledge. Egyptians defined the Ka as the life force of an individual, which although it was an ethereal projection, required food and drink for sustenance. I’m not going to extend myself further and try to decipher the full meaning of Shafiq Husayn’s new offering – i’ll leave that to you. What I can tell you is ‘Shafiq En’ A Free Ka‘ is a heavy journey into the psychadelic, tripped out reaches of a spiritually focussed master of the boom-bap. Composed entirely using outboard equipment and packed with collaborations from the likes Rozzi Daime, Bilal, Fatima, Count Bass D and Om’Mas Keith, Shafiq En’ A Free Ka is an eagerly anticipated project from 1/3 of the Sa Ra Creative Partners.

As a follow on from the SaRa interview I posted a couple of days back, we thought we’d drop this preview mix of some LP tracks lovingly cut and pasted by Brownswood’s DJ Lefo to free up your life forces….
