Audio Refuge Compilation

“…there is a groove on this Stronghold Sound release running from Morocco to Medellin that recommends it to your ears… I think these acts are SF Bay Area but have global roots…and they cast a wide musical net. I am glad these artists are getting their act together and recording, as they have long had a strong grasp on what gets a crowd moving.” – muzikifan

Sembeh Ma Fa Fe: Roots & Revisits

Mandeng Roots + Revisits from Guinea, Conakry


“A wild skanking, funky gumbo of world sounds that you wouldn’t think had creeped in so well. Music from the streets just like the first generation of everything from reggae to house, it crackles with the passion of uprising, escape and plugs into the universal groove. The first volume of a two volume set that is going to showcase the hottest and hardest, this is some wild funky stuff that just doesn’t know when to quit.” – MidWest Record
