OnTheCorner Soundsystem reaches the wonders of Pllek in Amsterdam. Gioumanne joins Pete & David to cover all bases of afrocentric dance music past, present and future. Support on the night is by dj duo PÅL/SECAM from the local PAN-AMAFROPEANS crew! On the Corner Soundsystem was born from the label's long running collaboration with Santuri, the platform for new sounds and unholy collaborations from East Africa and beyond. Following a string of hyped hybrid releases, label boss, DJ and mover/shaker Pete OntheCorner has teamed up behind the decks' with Santuri's co-founder David Tinning. Santuri Safari is a network of DJs, musicians, producers and cultural activists with a vision to create a contemporary underground East African sound. Recognizing (but not limited to) the emerging house sound and DJ culture in the region, Santuri creates innovate recording collaborations that mix the traditional with the cutting edge. PAL/SECAM is an Amsterdam based Dutch/French DJ duo, who spread the intercontinental PAN-AMAFROPEANS sound on the local dance floors. PAN-AMAFROPEANS. Not an easy word. But if you let it melt on your tongue just a little bit before you swallow, you’ll understand what flavors are incorporated: a mishmash of grooves from around the world, not bluntly stacked but accurately fused together.
