City Sound Sessions continues with....
Chicago, USA
Kinshasa, Congo
Bristol, UK
Chicago - DJ Nat Alexander takes us on tour of the Windy City's best contributions to music, from the classic Blues of Chess Records, to the birth of House Music. Nat was recently in Chicago adding records to his already impressive collection. This will be an authentic sonic document of Chicago!
Bristol, UK - DJ Drunk Monk focuses in on Bristol's music scene, often praised as the source of trip hop -- Massive Attack, Tricky, Portishead, as well as Roni Size (drum and bass pioneer), the legendary Wild Bunch Sound System, and a major player in the latest craze, dubstep.
Kinshasa, Congo - DJ Ozone will highlight the music of Kinshasa, which deserves major credit for sparking the soukous sound, and by extension, a large influence on pan-African popular music -- Afro-beat, zouk, African rumba, etc. After starting with Kinshasa, we'll move across the river to Brazzaville, then all over Africa.
