Because we at Bomb Diggy feel that sometimes, you have to give springtime a little nudge forward, you're invited to come and show your daggerin' moves at the Paard van Troje's small room.

I was going to do a nice write-up on this, but his site already puts it very succinctly:

"After five years of running the streets of Texas, this talented dj/producer is set to release his tropical debut album.

The album, ‘Carajo Colombia’, a cornucopia of sounds, consists of thirteen tracks that are remixes, edits, originals and bsides that focus on the music that Orion was raised on. The album focuses most notably on Cumbia and it is presented in a more club fashion, remixing funk, hip-hop and Baltimore Club music intermittently to produce a high-energy coagulation of musical magic. Orion has always been keen to bring something unique to a traditional sound.

Next Saturday is of course already tagged and highlighted in fluorescent yellow marker in your collective agendas as the amazing 1-year anniversary party extravaganza of Bomb Diggy, but as an extra hype-up service, we provide you with the recording of last year's bangin' set by our friend, DJ BBRAVE of Akwaaba Music.

Last week we already mentioned Spoek Mathambo (by way of Schlachthofbronx) in passing, and I figured it's about time for a little spotlight feature on some of the interesting things brewing in South Africa.

Because boy, there's some good shit happening down there. Spoek and Waddy Jones are among my favourite MC's at the moment.
