No 90 Live is excited to announce that we are kicking off a new monthly in-house event series with a rare headline 3-hour set from Awesome Tapes on Friday 22nd November! Since 2006, Brian Shimkovitz's Awesome Tapes From Africa blog has been shedding light on obscure and wonderful sounds from across the continent.
As a DJ he brings the blog to life with sets blending folkloric pop, left-field dancefloor gems and hip-hop bangers.
Travelling from club to festival to DIY space, Awesome Tapes DJ sets celebrate the music and musicians whose cassettes
Shimkovitz has collected over the years. In 2011, ATFA developed into a critically acclaimed label, re-releasing records by African artists including Ata Kak, Dur-Dur Band, Hailu Mergia and Penny Penny. His DJ sets on twin tape decks explore deep, regional sounds using analogue-anchored agility not heard or seen anywhere else.
