After a decade of Subbie action Kinky Afro is set to untie their ravin’ laces on Kinky Afro’s 10th Birthday. The date for your diary is Friday 25 September (not Friday 10 October as our newsletter mistakenly reported…ooops, sorry).

Matthew Herbert has been pulled out of his self enforced DJ retirement to come and smash up his splintered and most experimental records for your grooving delectation. Mixed up with 10 years of Afro anthems.

Herbert in short is one of Kinky Afro’s and indeed Radio Magnetic’s idols. Recording as Herbert, Doctor Rockit, Radio Boy, Mr. Vertigo, Transformer and Wishmountain his music has sculpted our electronic landscape whilst bringing a rare injection of political fervour and avant-garde expression.

Comprehensively innovative in every area he engages, Herbert’s skills extend to being an explosive DJ making him our perfect companion to send Missy Afro to her final level before noisily going into the night.

Join the facebook event page for more info and to get your hands on a commemorative Kinky Afro T-shirt designed by Tommy from electro-folksters FOUND.

To get you in the mood for the Kinky Afro swansong, resident Mr Mafro and long-time friend of the ‘fro, DJ Prime8 have put together this rather fine mix encapsulating some of the night’s top tunes from the past ten years.
