Auntie Flo announces new album Radio Highlife on Brownswood

Hear its first single, a rhythmic ode to the Rainbow Nation.

DJ, producer and musician Auntie Flo aka Brian d’Souza is releasing a new full length album called Radio Highlife, via Brownswood this October.

The LP features 14 tracks with field recordings and studio sessions captured over the course of seven years of globetrotting, including sounds from Cuba, Cape Town, Bali, Kampala, Istanbul, Senegal, and Russia.

Collaborators include Cuban percussionist Yissy Garcia, London vocalist Andrew Ashong, and Sengalese multi-instrumentalist Mame n’Diack Seck Thiam.

Souza’s album shares the same name as his regular Worldwide FM show, both of which are inspired by his travels, during which local radio stations often serve as Souza’s first introduction to the city’s music scene.

Radio Highlife follows his Theory of Flo and Future Rhythm Machine LPs, both of which were released on Glasgow imprint Huntley & Palmers.
