Estonian-native Urmet K has steadily established himself as a firm fixture on London’s underground circuit. Blurring the lines between hypnotic and emotive house melodies. His music often features hefty grooves, intricate organic percussive passages as well introspective synth arrangements that have been supported by key players like Black Coffee, Themba and Pablo Fierro. As his new EP featuring Zanzibar’s BAQABO, ‘Unani Pendeza’, drops on Stereo MCs’ connected, DMCWorld goes back to mine with Urmet K
Ali Farka Toure – Ali’s Here
I can listen to this album on repeat all day.
Teresia – Heruma Boys Band
That vocal and chorus is so catchy, it always makes me dance and puts me in a happy mood.
Mercedes Sosa – Gracias A La Vida
Pure bliss with a beautiful message.
Fela Kuti – Zombie
This song is when I fell in love with Afrobeat.
Cesaria Evora – Sodade
For mind and soul. I hope they release my remix one day.
RY X – Body Sun
Had it playing in the background for almost a day and loved it.
Masters At Work feat. India – I Can’t Get No Sleep
One of the first house tracks that I listened to. To this day, that trumpet and India’s voice still give me goosebumps when I play it out.
Everything But The Girl – Wrong
EBTG has so many good ones but this one always does it for me when I want to be in a happy mood.
Aster Aweke – Y’shebellu
For me, Aster Aweke is probably the best Ethiopian singer.
AIR – La femme d’argent
The perfect track for reading a good book when it’s raining in London.
Urmet K & BAQABO ‘Unani Pendeza’ is out now on connected.
