This week El Ritmo takes a trip as Claude goes to Africa….expect tight afro beat, afro funk and afro disco before I plunge headfirst into a massive African styled fuzzed up wigged out psych experience where instruments made of old oil cans, pieces of wood and string, and cardboard drumkits crash into electric guitars and analogue synthesisers…

Its 2012: NASA, the Russians, and the Chinese Space Exploration Program are all moving further and deeper into outer space and the exploration of Mars and our outer galaxies. At the same time the El Ritmo DJs are moving further inwards, deeper into hi-fi inner space – into aural kooky deep space. In 1962 with the introduction of the Stereo Action LP series, RCA heralded “spectacular sonic illusions of motion, directionality and depth.” Not content to program simply for ears, RCA provided a “visual” component to audio through harmonics and stereophonic orchestration – and crazy LP covers!!. The goal of the RCA Engineers then, and the goal now of the El Ritmo DJs “is to create musical movement so real, your eyes will follow the sound.” This Tuesday night its music but not as you know it…
