African Head Charge, Larry Heard, Apassionately crafted, one-of-a-kind dance music masterpiece—a collaboration between Athens of the North’s house band/disco unit East Coast Love Affair, whose sound draws inspiration from the endearing house music, dub, and quirky dance music of Sun Ra, and Ibiza resident DJ For Mankind—has been released by Athens of the North!! ! Highly recommended.
Track List
A1 “Musica Para Todos”: A Balearic left-field disco-reggae dance track at 105 BPM featuring Spanish narration by For Mankind; A3 “Punta Moscarter”: A spacey, Balearic, tropical rhythm machine downtempo track at 95 BPM with organ sounds “Punta Moscarter,” BPM 120, a percussive, tribal, jungle-leftfield track B1 “The Morrígan Sings (feat.

For Mankind)” (sample 2), BPM 100, B3 “I Can’t Wait (feat. Philomenah)” (sample 3)—a dreamy, cute, and endearing slow-motion disco track featuring Philomenah’s vocals—is also great.
Classical minimal contemporary music, Arthur Russell, free jazz, Sun Ra, reggae disco, dub experimental music, and more—this album showcases the diverse possibilities of dance music. While inheriting a deep love for traditional deep house, it features a rich variety of tracks ranging from Balearic, left-field, dubby, alternative ambient, chillout, rhythm machine, downtempo, and more—a diverse yet complex collection of eight tracks. I highly recommend it. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
