You probably missed Egon’s Fireside Chat on RBMA Radio earlier this year. Recorded while Egon (seen above with the BBC’s Benji B) moderated at the 2010 Red Bull Music Academy in London, this set offers an excellent introduction to our Dark Sunrise anthology, gives a larger overview of Zambia’s Zamrock scene, and also offers a sneak peak at our forthcoming anthologies that dig into Indonesian prog, Iranian psychedelia, Nigerian fuzz-funk, beat-heavy American ballads, and gives an inside look into the process of working with the likes of Madlib and Oh No on albums like Beat Konducta in Africa and Ethiopium.

Stones Throw is now offering an exclusive pre-sale of this anthology; it is out everywhere good music is sold on 11.23.10.
