Makossa + Megablast 'Kunuaka' (G-Stone Vienna)
After 20 successful compilations in the last ten years Makossa’s heritage sits tight beneath this album, with hard beats and subtle tones. The collaboration here with Megablast works like some music mad conjoined twins permanently in the studio together. This is a breath of fresh air including two of the tuffest tunes so far this year - ‘Kunuaka’ and ‘Mama’. Give this release your undivided attention as its place in your collection is just.
