Friend-stars / This is to direct your attention to the fact that FADER magazine's all-Africa issue drops this week. You can cop the glossy version at a newsstand near you or download it *free* of damage here:

I don't usually beat people in the head every time I do a cover story for FADER but this time is a little different since i took on the role of editor at large for a whole damn issue including features on South African dub metal quartet the BLK JKS and Jo'burg's kwaito-house continuum.
We also got: the African Phil Collins aka Esau Mwamwaya, Ghanaian hiplife, Saharan psyche-rock, Angolan kuduro, DJ /rupture vs Sweat.X, Tony Allen vs. Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, T2 vs bassline, Queen Majesty vs 45 rpms, the women of Worship Worthy unveiled, afro-delic LP covers from the new Waxpoetics book, and yes i'm a little amped.
Another blast will be forthcoming with info on an Afro-connected podcast mixed by yours truly, the issue launch at the Knitting Factory Fri. March 7th and limited edition 7" vinyl ft. BLK JKS and Esau M.
