Hey our friend! Please come over if

The Name is a newborn formation of
experienced musicians. Blending dub, funk, electronica, ambient, jazz
elements and some Hackney/Shoreditch salubrious air they softly but
emphatically get you dancing while dreaming.

listen to the release now !!

http://www.juno.co.uk/labels/Mukatsuku/

This is the review in DJ Magazine...

Kaleta & Akoya Afrobeat
The Spirit Of Fela Is Alive & Well
Mukatsuku Records
4/5
An explosive slice of Afrobeat from Kaleta gets the licensing thumbs up from Mukatsuku, who finally get this gem to the Fela faithful. Originally clocking in at over 14 minutes, its been chopped virtually in half to add more punch and immediacy, whilst on the flip Guynamite and label boss Nik Weston add a more contemporary boogie house twist to the original, in doing so losing none of the vitality or the 'Fela' essence.
