Stones Throw has just released Ethiopium, the highly anticipated follow-up to Oh No's underrated 2007 Anatolian psych-funk excursion, Dr. No's Oxperiment. This time out, Oh No mines Egon's awe-inspiring and seemingly endless trove of "rare 60s and 70s Ethiopian funk, jazz, folk, soul and psychedelic rock" to create another adventurous/educational collection of dusty, mostly laid-back beats that the label recommends pairing with some Ethiopium coffee and your freshest local greenery. Highly recommended; get it here.
