Space Afrika鈥檚 Mixtape

Verity Sharp shares a genre-splicing mixtape from Manchester鈥檚 electronic duo Space Afrika. Plus reissued Turkish folk, minimal Mellotron meditations and Mongolian jazz vocals.

Verity Sharp shares a mixtape from electronic duo Space Afrika, aka Joshua Reid and Joshua Inyang. Lifelong friends, they鈥檝e become key players in Manchester鈥檚 experimental scene known for their genre-splicing productions. They describe their sound as being made up of overlapping moments, weaving experimental ambience with dub and techno, samples and field recordings. Their new album Honest Labour, named after a legendary patriarch from Inyang's Nigerian family tree, features hazy loops, found sounds and vocal incantations. Their exclusive mixtape for Late Junction reflects their influences, from hazy post-punk and ambient soundscapes, to early grime experimentation.

Elsewhere in the show Verity shares reissued Turkish folk songs from singer T眉lay German, as well as Congolese electronics from Kampala-based DJ and producer Oyisse. There鈥檒l be jazz combined with traditional Mongolian music from Ulaanbaatar-raised Munich-based vocalist Enji, and brand new minimal meditations from Sarah Davachi on Mellotron, organ and harpsichord.
