Africa Hitech – The Sound Of Tomorrow
This glitched out nu soul style vocal track by recent Warp signing Africa Hitech is a real treat. Steve Spacek on the vocals. Be sure to also check the much more ragga-tastic A-side here.

Babe Rainbow – Shaved
Dark and moody, atmospheric, haunting,… the adjectives just stack up for this one by Warp’s most recent addition. The slow, deep groove takes you on a cinematic trip down a dark passage. Vancouver’s Cameron Reed’s first EP, “Shaved”, dropped earlier this month. Below you’ll find the title track, my favorite from the EP.
The video really captures the eery and dramatic feel of the music, adding another layer to the impact it has. It was produced by a motion picture collective named SALAZAR, also based in Vancouver. Their focus has been on music videoclips and other narrative work, and they’ve recently expanded their territory into advertising. Be sure to check the rest of their work, it’s equally awesome.

Where’s the track “how does it make you feel”??? Been waiting so long for that one!
The other half of Africa Hitech is Mark Pritchard, also known for his solo work as Troubleman and his other coop as Harmonic 313. The Harmonic 313 sound really shines through on “how does it make you feel”, which, unfortunately we’ll have to wait a little longer for.
You can check out “How does it make you feel” on Hepcat radio show #24!!
