As always happens, one search on the web dragged me further than I initially anticipated. In this case, it all turned out OK in the end: I wondered across some wonderful tracks that the UK’s Heatwave posse have shrewdly made available.

once in a while something comes along that makes you feel like you have really been looking in all the wrong places. taking all the best bits of african (infectious basslines, energy), stripping off the noodles that oft bogged down afrobase, applying the latest urban/house production techniques and then wiring this up to the celestial [...]
