Freeload: Mor Thiam, “Ayo Ayo Nene” MP3
- story THE FADER
From Egon’s blog of Madlib’s European Tour:
Meanwhile, we got to browse through Gerald’s frighteningly diversified collection and peep the entire Mor Thiam album alongside Mehr Pooya’s Iranian album – including his 10 minute cover of Dennis Coffey’s “Scorpio.” Madlib ended up with one of his most wanted albums – Stefano Torrossi’s “Feelings,” and I ended up in the same place I was last year – with the Mor Thiam album on hold, and not a trade closer to getting Akon’s dad’s debut in my greedy palms.
While it is mindboggling to imagine how rare and expensive Madlib or Egon’s most wanted records actually are, they were kind enough to post up this classic song by Papa Thiam from the brand new and totally excellent Spiritual Jazz: Esoteric, Modal and Deep Jazz from the Undergound, 1968-77. We highly recommend this comp for those times when officemates/roommates/random grumps are wild salty. Dilute the salt with powerful positive vibery!

Exclusive Freeload/Q+A: Egon’s Live Mix Of Ghanaian, Nigerian, Ethiopian, Turkish And Brasilian Joints
- story THE FADER
When the Karl Hector & The Malcouns record came across our desk recently we were like, Whoa this is a crazily focused and obscure reissue of 70’s Ethiopian funk! Then we found out that it was recorded this year. Confused and intrigued, we got Now-Again founder/Stones Throw dude Egon on the phone and talked to him about his release of the Karl Hector record, the future of Now-Again, and what music he actually likes. Basically we nerded out with dude for a bit, and he gave us an exclusive live mix of the music that influenced Karl Hector & The Malcouns and also about two million other bands making music right now. Download the mix below, and read the Q+A after the jump.
