Submit your tracks for the 7th Paris DJs Soundsystem compilation!!
'A House Divided Against Itself Cannot Stand' will be the 7th compilation coming out on the Paris DJs label, and the fifth one dwelving into the ramifications of African music for the Paris DJs Soundsystem crew. After exploring GOODNESS, FIRE, WARRIORS and ELECTRIC themes, they felt it was time to concentrate their research on the UNITY concept, on the global cultural unity that is expressed through all strands of groovy, funky, psychedelic and moving afrofunk, afrobeat, ethio-jazz, highlife, afrojazz, afrosoul, Carribean Funk and other Tropical Grooves to be found on this planet today. Paris DJs are looking for artists willing to participate by submitting tracks… Read the full article for complete info & conditions.
