SOUND OF THE WORLD DJ RELAY 7 this THURSDAY 7th MAY - FREE!
With yours truly for just 15 minutes of DJ fame at 8.30 [EDIT: MAKE THAT 11:30] and a special live performance from West African blues master LAYE SOW
Chilli Fried invites you down to the Sound of the World DJ Relay offering those on the Chilli Fried mailing list and contributors to Charlie Gillett's Sound of the World website (www.soundoftheworld.com) the chance to show off their skill behind the decks with short DJ sets. Everyone, from well known DJs, broadcasters and journalists to fresh faced first timers, get a quarter of an hour to play their selection of whatever they like and try to fill the floor.
There’ll be a special live set from Senegalese bluesman Laye Sow. A highly accomplished singer and guitarist from the North of the country (the region many consider to be the original birthplace of the sound that became the blues), Laye is a charismatic performer and an old friend of Chilli Fried, having performed at one of our early sessions. Tonight he’ll be previewing tracks from his forthcoming album, accompanied by guitar and calabash.
Come and join this FREE party and expect the unexpected.
Chilli Fried North, 8 PM – 12 AM, Thursday 7th May 2009 at Darbucka, 182 St John Street, London, EC1V 4JZ

PS They only have CD decks...
Thanks Alex... selections selection selections... I'm swopped out to now play at 11:30...
There was a turntable under the desk. Sound was bad (mono delivered over 2 channels) and I landed up on the graveyard slot at 11:45 having to use my "DJ Rescue" CDrs. Not good or ideal but strong responses to the dub version of Ja Funmi (King Sunny Ade), Kelin At Len (Baobab) and Wack Wack (Young Holt Trio). So now I need a proper gig and promoter!
Would be interesting to know your other two selections,Kelin At Len also a big favorite of mine. Koos
The vinyl selections I had planned to play included The Correction by The Movers, Blue Skies by Mahlabathini and Samba by Moussa Doumbia
