So Esau Mwamwaya + Radioclit = The Very Best and their mixtape has been kicking around for a while now. It's basically reworked versions of other songs by prominent 'hip' artists (M.I.A., Vampire Weekend, Santogold) as well as some curveballs (Beatles' "Birthday," Michael Jackson's "Will You Be There") with Mwamwaya's strong vocal rising up over everything in a glorious manner. They've just released a 7" with "Kamphopo" (based on Architecture in Helsinki's "Heart it Races") on Green Owl Records which is appropriately using some green technology to make a conscious contribution:
"The packaging was produced with wind power, made with 100% Post Consumer paper, water based printing and packaged in corn plastic." - Green Owl
Pretty cool I guess. If you don't care about wax, you can always download the whole mixtape for free.
