These last days were cold and so were our studios at Urgent.fm. Today we found a little button on our mixing desk, called "Mono/Stereo" to be frozen solid on thee wonderful 'Mono'-setting. According to a recently deleted article on Wikipedia, 'Mono' is an ancient technological method of combining sounds that are meant for two ears to hear, into smaller more compact sounds, that can also be absorbed by 1 ear. Groovy!
So enjoy this week's Melting Pot, especially selected to sound wonderful in this fabulous 'Mono'!

Melting Pot 14-06-2008 @ www.urgent.fm
Every other week during the summer Melting Pot presents a special show, highlighting one artist or one subgenre or a city. June 14 was the first ’special’.
Tune in for an hour of music from the mighty Fela Kuti, the founder of afrobeat.
My first encounter with Fela Kuti was in the mid-seventies. As a young punk I was intrigued by the funk of Parliament, Funkadelic and, of course, James Brown. But then I came across an album called Up Side Down by Fela Anikulapo Kuti & The Africa 70 on London Records. This record was something else. There were only two songs on it and the whole album lasted just half an hour but what a sound…. And that groove… From then on I was hooked on Fela and bought every record I could get my hands on.
"Music is the weapon, music is the thing of the future, music is the weapon of the future…
And something tells me I’m right, so I’m president… one day.. don’t worry…."
- Fela Kuti
Fela Ransome-Kuti & the Afrika 70 - Ye Ye De Smell
Fela Ransome-Kuti & the Afrika 70 - Zombie
Fela Ransome-Kuti & the Afrika 70 - Jeun Ko Ku (Chop 'n' Quench)
Fela Ransome-Kuti & the Afrika 70 - Gentleman
Fela Ransome-Kuti & the Afrika 70 - Up Side Down
Fela Ransome-Kuti & the Afrika 70 - I T T
