He has forgotten but internet memory is finite so I dont blame him. We had a few Insta exchanges around the same time I first started up loading mixes to the 'net. Man this particular track buummppssss. Enjoy

This past year, not just thinking about COVID and the ripple effects of the Ukraine-Russia conflict, has touched my life and loved ones on a very real scale. I love hip-hop, I love EDM, I love House music, I love dancehall (when done in a cool flavor), and I love Afrobeats. However, this song was the first song I learned to love as a Christian because it was the song that I enjoyed with my late father on our solo drives at the night in Accra. So the tears have dried, the smiles have started getting wider....because we are still alive. Mary Mary taught me to dance on my problems, not just because of God but because why worry when you still have breath? This song is also poignant for me to release today because of what is happening in the USA. The conservative arm of the government is coming for the rights and freedoms of everybody, especially minorities. Whilst here in Ghana we have a blatantly corrupt government that keeps on failing us. So I think its safe to say that there is so much wrong going on that, I'm just going to take this moment to share this moment of 16 minutes to share how I'm dancing on my problems. Shout out to the Fivio Foreign lyric in Through The Fire which says the exact same thing. God bless.

This track came out at the latter end of last year and was criminally under supported. Fuse's very simple but earwormy lyrics and THA DRUMBOSS doing his thing. I really like the West Meets South vibes on this track and I hope you like my spin on it.

This track is seminal trance. It is the music for the famous walk up scene to the vampire club in Blade 2. It has Mos Def rapping his heart out to a throbbing synth line. Enjoy my spin on it

This song and I go waaaayyyyy back. To high school in the UK. Example is a stalwart institution in the UK and I luckily got to hear him perform at Wireless once. Natural Disaster is quite the collaboration between him and Laidback Luke and Ive been meaning to try my hand at it for at least 2 years. I hope you like what i came up with

Nigeria has been going through very tough times. But the young people are overcoming odds that are set against them and so shall we all over the world. Guchi and Zlatan's song is mad fun and I hope you enjoy my spin on it

I have been listening to Heavy-K ever since he put out NDIBAMBE in the early part of lockdown with his wife (NTOMBI Music). I used to visit my mum in Pretoria when she worked there. South Africa is a very beautiful place that speaks of the promise of what Africa could be. Its going through tough times. We all are. But Heavy-K's music makes me dream of the good times in the future. Nkosi sikelela my dudes and dudettes!

This mix is for a friend who has had to reign in her dreams for reasons beyond her control. She helped me through a really dark time in my life and that's why I chose the caduceus as the album art. It's a cool 5 song mix of some alternating songs

Life teaches you alot of lessons, the biggest one is being true to yourself even in the face of adversity. Adversity doesn't always have to be a gun or a knife or even trying times like these. Adversity can start with you and you alone. So this is my way of saying...save yourself. I know you can. Fuck adversity!

Assa Ablö is a new/old artist on Apex Records GH. You might already be aware of DJ Anemawk, We thought we might slow down the release schedule of bangers to slow it down for Soul Saturdays. Here is a Christian Afrobreak tune by the name of Can We Save A Sinner. You dont have to be of the faith to appreciate it, I promise... just let it calm you down from the chaos of modern life.
