"Two winners on one piece of wax (well, for me CD-R). Antibalas come correct with their take on Sly Stone's "Family Affair" and it just sounds soooo f'kin good. Perfect choice from an amazing band. On the flip, Psyco drop the bomb with "Mr President" listen and learn they tell we. Brilliant. Charted & Play listed."

"Back to da roots indeed and what roots by the way. Thanks to Afro-beat champions Antibalas for their rendition of Sly Stone's classic 'Family Affair' deliciously cooked by Doctor L at the command. A cut dubbed with 'Mr President' (nothing to do with Martin Solveig's track of the likes), an incredible Afro tinged song fuelled with electro & jazzy elements which should reach the favours of people such as Ron Trent, Joe Claussell, François K and Paul Murphy to name but a few (Mind Records & Service)."
Press Release :
Third and still very limited (500 copies only) vinyl release from Mind with an exclusive Antibalas version of Sly Stone's classic "Family Affair"' coupled with another political afrobeat anthem from the amazing Psyco album, "Mr President"...
Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra had some spare time during their last french tour... They jumped in our studio on a lazy sunday afternoon, and cooked with Doctor L this killer afrobeat version of Family Affair! At the end of the day, this future classic was done and everything's in there: Fela-inspired vocals from the allmighty Amayo, phat afro-broken beat, sweat horns and chorus vocals and the magic Doctor's touch on the production...
Mr President, on the B Side, is Psyco's message to our governors... Back on the political side of the afrobeat... Music is the weapon...
"Mr President" is extracted from MIND002 Psyco - There Must Be A Revolution Somewhere (Nocturne distribution)
