MADE IN NAIJA (NIGERIA MIXTAPE) - OBAFUNKIE JR - SPECIALLY RECORDED FOR WWW.NUTSTOSOUP.COM - JUNE 2009- YOU WILL ONLY EVER HEAR THIS ON NUTS TO SOUP - our lawyers are watching

For those of you who have never heard of Obafunkie Jr - Here's a quick introduction

Obafunkie Jr is possibly one of the deepest and most respected record collectors and dealers around. So much so that when yopu speak to the likes of Kon (Kon and Amir) and Dam Funk - renowned collectors themselves - The name Obafunkie usually comes up followed by "he's serious, I've bought some incredible stuff from him". The guy is so respected that Dam Funk made a track specially dedicated to him [Obafunkie] and his online radio show The Boogie Heads Show.

To show his support for what we are doing here on Nuts To Soup, Obafunkie has put together a special mix just for us -YOU WILL ONLY EVER HEAR THIS MIX ON NUTS TO SOUP

The mix is titled Made in Naija and features - if you have'nt guessed yet - boogie tracks and psych funk tracks from Nigerian Artists.

This mix is UNREAL I repeat UNREAL, it is possibly the best mix I've heard in a very very long time, you will listen to this a million times and more, but you will never tire - impossible.

Sound Way are doing some incredible stuff, but trust none of the comps they have ever done touch this mix, infarct no Nigerian compilation album (and there are many out there) come close to this.

It is a real privilege to be releasing this out to the rest of the World

Look out for the Gboyega Adelaja (colourful environment) track, its - in the words of Judah - DRUGS

HERMANN SZOBEL - SZOBEL- ARISTA 1976

Hermann Szobel is one of those artists whose genius you know, is masking an underlying madness. The guy was a musical prodigy the fact that he created this masterpiece - his first and only album - at the age of just 18 show that the mans talent was immense -(i'm not talking Lily Allen "talent" I'm talking 6 year old Chinese boy playing Bach with his eyes closed talent).

It's a jazz fusion record that will also appeal to prog rock fans but has it's roots in classical music.

Szobel features on the keys (look out for the solos) and his musical composition and arrangements are mind blowing- the constant change of pace on some of the tracks leave you guessing as to where he's going to next - its organised - beautiful sounding - chaos.

Szobel recorded this album and has never been heard of since - apparently he was locked up in a mental institution, shortly after - they must have heard the album.

Totally underated and slept on - you have to get a hard copy of this album, its too important.

Because this is too good not to share we have recorded all five tracks of the album for our podcast and for you all to download and listen -

The madness begins.
