Superfly Records presents The Afrofunk Expressway Vol.3

Hot on the heels of our African Special selection on superflyrecords, here's a new volume of Afrofunk grooves collected by Paulo during his diggin' trips to Africa. We have LOTS of astonishing African vinyl LPs at the store so don't hesitate to come and give us a visit...

Drink party with Kon & Amir yesterday at the Superfly Records store

 

Our friends Soulist and Freeworker from the What The Funk crew called us on monday and offered to bring Kon & Amir and some selected friends to the store for a drink (thanks to them!). We only announced the 'event' at the end of the afternoon on Paris DJs and on our facebook page and a few hours later the shop was packed with clients, fans, DJs, and of course the legendary beat-diggers from brooklyn Kon & Amir. Both guys are 100% cool and friendly and we were very glad to have them visiting us!!

Here are a few pictures taken by yours truly - I'm no real photographer so don't be harsh... and see you soon at the store!

Souleance are back with their second single on First Word. After the massive success of their debut Le Monde EP, the French duo of DJ Soulist (What The Funk?) and producer Fulgeance (Musique Large / Peter Digital Orchestra / One-Handed) have crafted one of the first must-have releases of 2010.

Souleance will be back later this year with their debut album. With a growing legion of fans including Gilles Peterson (who picked their track Manana for his Brownswood Bubblers compilation) and Radio Nova (France) who have booked the duo to play at their prestigious Nuitz Zebrees event in December, 2010 is gonna be big for Souleance.
