Podcasts about Afrobeats

On Episode 246 of Submaroach, Koj, TMT, and Mayowa lean fully into the chaos. The title says it all. This one is generational tension, conspiracy conversations, fake romance pressure, and soft-life delusion all rolled into one.The boys revisit the rise of nepopiano , Afrobeats made by rich kids and ask whether it's evolution, industry nepotism, or just old heads hating on the new wave. From there, they wade into the ever-murky waters of the Epstein files, internet speculation, power, and the public's obsession with elite scandals.With Valentine's Day around the corner, they break down Valentine's Day plans, expectations vs. reality, and the silent financial stress attached to “romantic gestures.” That leads directly into stories about being hit on by strangers when it's flattering, when it's awkward, and when it's just trauma dumping.Finally, the boys tackle the big one: economic anxiety. Is TMT quietly stressed? As always, it's funny, sharp, slightly unhinged, and somehow still insightful.Topics covered: Nepopiano, Afrobeats culture, Epstein files discussion, Valentine's Day pressure, dating stories, generational tension, Nigerian pop culture, economic anxiety, comedy podcast Nigeria.New episode out now.

Tonight, this week (x100) we celebrate our 100th episode (aaa) by talking Fela Kuti's 1973 Afrobeat classic, Gentleman. The cover of the original makes a salient point about colonization and culture, so was it ignorant to thoughtlessly slap our cat on there? I hope not!Also up for discussion: We wishcast that one Arcade Fire brother has a soul (not the criminal one), none of us can name a single woman (we are trying to be woke but too stupid to do it good), and we return to an early BevCheck in honor of us having done this 100 times and run out of ideas around ep 6.10/10 You're Great is presented by The Alternative.

Episode 9 is the one where Brian Wise and Michael Mackenzie briefly mistake themselves for an IT helpdesk, a sports panel, and a moral philosophy seminar—before landing, somewhat dazed, back in music. It opens with Wise declaring he “can't stand” the sound of his own voice (a bold confession for a career built on talking), while Mackenzie offers the sort of praise that feels both affectionate and faintly menacing: “the voice of a generation.”  Before the audio collapses entirely, the conversation sprints through Wise's great sporting exertion: the exhausting labour of watching sport.  There's genuine distress at skier Lindsey Vonn crashing out in 13 seconds, complete with a description of pain you could feel through the screen.  From there, the mood whiplashes into the Super Bowl halftime show—Wise calls Bad Bunny's performance the best he's ever seen, even while admitting he couldn't understand a word of it. Mackenzie, meanwhile, is stuck on the visuals of sugar cane cutting and its historical echoes closer to home.  Their consensus: if Donald Trump calls it the worst halftime show ever, that's basically a five-star review. Then comes one of Wise's purest modern urges: gadget-lust triggered by sport. Spotting tennis champion Elena Rybakina wearing a watch post-match, he consults “our friend AI” and discovers it's a Vanguard Orb worth a mere $200,000.  At which point the show finally pivots to the Grammys—specifically the stuff that doesn't make the glossy broadcast.  Wise notes that Fela Kuti received a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award, nearly 30 years after his death at 58, making him the first African musician to be honoured that way.  They sketch Kuti as both musical revolutionary and political force, the Afrobeat originator whose trance-like repetition and complex grooves seeped into Remain in Light and My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. The point: the Grammys have 85 categories, and the good parts are buried where only the determined will look. The episode's left turn into pop comes via Mackenzie's discovery of Charli XCX through the comedy-chat juggernaut Smartless. Wise's response—“Who's he?”—is treated as both generational commentary and perfectly on-brand.  The subtext is clear: don't confuse “not my cup of tea” with “not worth paying attention to”. Politics drifts in, as it tends to now, through the question of who's writing protest songs. Wise notes Nils Lofgren's “No Kings, No Hate, No Fear”, nods to Lucinda Williams and Mavis Staples, and longs—audibly—for Bob Dylan to re-enter the ring with something era-defining.  Mackenzie is unconvinced, offering the counterpoint that Dylan's signature move in moments like this is often silence. Screen culture gets its usual run: Mackenzie's recommendation of the British robbery thriller Steel mostly lands—until Wise objects to the final 15 minutes for explaining too much, revealing his mother's literary habit of reading the last chapter first.  The music talk returns in force with Buddy Guy. Wise has interviewed him (Buddy turns 90 this year and is flagged as possibly touring Australia for the last time), and the hosts linger on the question Wise once had about Buddy's live habit of paying tribute to other blues greats.  Finally, Al Green turns up as both salvation and complication. Wise recommends Green's EP To Love Somebody (Bee Gees cover included, plus “Perfect Day” featuring RAYE and a take on R.E.M.'s “Everybody Hurts”), while Mackenzie raises the perennial problem: applauding the artistry while not airbrushing the artist.  Episode 9's through-line, then, isn't sport or even the Grammys. It's the way culture arrives in the room: messy, overlapping, sometimes off-mic, and always demanding you listen harder than the algorithm wants you to.

Join Here: https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0KDon Toliver unleashes his fifth studio album OCTANE, released January 30, 2026, via Cactus Jack/Atlantic. Building on the high-octane energy of 2024's Hardstone Psycho, this 18-track project continues the "more fuel consumption" theme with explosive melodic trap-R&B fusion, heavy bass, beat switches, and motorhead-inspired motifs.The Houston native—known for auto-tuned vocals, soulful hooks, and viral TikTok smashes like “No Idea” and “After Party”—delivers high-energy anthems from the jump. Standout features include Yeat on “Rendezvous,” Rema on “Secondhand,” Travis Scott on “Rosary,” Teezo Touchdown on “All The Signs,” and SahBabii, amplifying cross-genre reach from trap to Afrobeats adjacency.Analytic Dreamz on Notorious Mass Effect breaks down the sonic profile: futuristic production, strong opening sequences, and vocal prowess that elevate the ride, despite some critics noting mid-album stretches and perceived bloat.Critical reception splits—Pitchfork awards 6.5/10 for personality and features amid underwhelming moments, while Clash praises 8/10 for cohesion and consistency. User scores on Album of the Year hover 60–80, highlighting production futurism and debate over editing.Commercially, OCTANE marks Don Toliver's first #1 debut on Billboard 200 with ~135K–157K first-week units (including ~20K pure sales via vinyl/merch bundles), nearly doubling Hardstone Psycho's peak and claiming 2026's biggest opening so far. Pre-release buzz from lead single “Tiramisu” (Sept 2025), pop-ups, Reebok collabs, and playlist optimization fueled streaming dominance.This rollout cements Toliver's Tier-1 escalation: sustained growth, merchandising muscle, and strategic features driving global consumption in melodic trap's core demographic. Analytic Dreamz explores how OCTANE solidifies his place as a consistent hitmaker blending accessibility with experimental edge. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Hello Groovers, This week's Liquid Sunshine replays last night's wild ride at 'Global Sounds from the Underground'—a boundary-breaking set that ping-pongs from Balkan hotstepping to Afrobeat fire, Dutch dub experiments to Persian-tinged funk, with zero regard for geography or genre rules. From William Onyeabor's synth-funk and Fela Kuti's revolutionary grooves to Doe Maar's Dutch dubby reggae and the Mauskovic Dance Band's psychedelic heat, every track brings its own flavor while keeping the energy locked in that sweet spot between hypnotic and explosive. It's two hours of proof that the underground sounds best when it's truly global—no borders, no boundaries, just pure groove from every corner of the planet.
