Soundway Records, along with the
Goethe-Institute and Adaptr.org,
present TEN CITIES a new compilation
including, amongst many others, the
likes of Bristol dubstep producer
Pinch, Lisbon-based producer Batida and
Kenyan group Just A Band, TEN CITIES is
set for release on 10th November on CD,
3xLP and digital.

Between Autumn 2012 and Spring 2013 the
TEN CITIES project brought electronic
music producers and musicians from five
cities in Europe (Berlin, Bristol,
Kiev, Lisbon and Naples) to five cities
in Africa (Cairo, Johannesburg, Lagos,
Luanda and Nairobi) They were invited
to collaborate and create, spending an
intense time together making music in
sticky studios and blacked-out rooms
across the African continent.

TEN CITIES put together approximately
50 electronic music producers and
instrumentalists from the ten cities
selected. They were invited to
collaborate in studios over the course
of more than six months. A selection of
the outcome of these cross-continental
experiments can be heard on this
record.

It's no surprise that the results are
far from what many would term 'World
Music' and its often generic mixture of
aural cliches, where all too often
African music (as with that of the rest
of the planet) from Mali to Madagascar,
and from Morocco to Malawi is all filed
under one ridiculous, meaningless
genre.s

TEN CITIES attempts to do something
quite different: whilst searching for
common ground it is also trying to
highlight the differences. As a result
hip-hop from the squats of Naples, bass
music from Bristol, experimental techno
from Berlin or jazz-tinged deep-house
from Kiev are thrust upon the pumping
kuduro of Luanda, the free-thinking
crackled electronica of Cairo, afro-
jazz from Lagos or the Sheng street-
slang of Kenyan rap.
