about

In the beginning there was the Afro Soul Toasting All Star, a band created by Oscar Martos, launched at the same time the Soul Toasting recording studio, in Madrid (Spain). This band's main objective was to produce rhythms and grooves based on the diverse stylistic schools, like Africa, New Orleans, Philadelphia, or Kingston. We played their superb track Be A Looser in the mythical 21st Century Afro Extravaganza 4 hours/50 tracks mix. Oscar has since then started a new project, called Pyramid Blue, who's released their first 45 on Enlace Funk at the end of the summer 2011, African Jungle. Influenced by artists and bands like The Heliocentrics, The Budos Band and Mulatu Astatke, this 9-piece ensemble might just be the most important spanish Afrofunk band today. They blend Afrofunk with Ethio-Jazz (jazz from Ethiopia) and Afrobeat (afrofunk & soul from Nigeria)… and you can hear hints of Tango in there too! It's quite a very influenced and unique sound at the same time, and we're very glad to ba able to feature this track in our first compilation.

Out now :
Pyramid Blue - African Jungle - 7 inch, 2011 / Enlace Funk

Coming Soon :
Pyramid Blue - Pyramid Blue - CD/LP/Digital, 2012 / Lovemonk
