A few people keep on asking me about the jumping dwarf they have seen in Pepe Kalle's videos. His name was Emoro and together with Pepe they formed a visually striking duo headlining most of Empire Bakuba performances and record covers. Here are a few videos celebrating the style and acrobatics of Emoro and his lady Jolie Bébé.

DJ Bonzai Tarzan tape review
A certain S.B. wrote this nice review of DJ Bonzai Tarzan's Un remède radical published in Gonzo Circus a few weeks ago:
"[...] Over DJ Bonzai Tarzan is niet veel bekend behalve dat hij twintig jaar werkte als suppoost in het Doctor Evariste Ossip Natural History Museum in niemandsland en nu zijn tijd doorbrengt in de Tropical Bonzai Forest afdeling waar hij een kolonie lilliputachtige aapjes voedt met allerlei fruit en noten. Aan levendige verbeelding geen gebrek dus en we laten de mixtape haar zegje doen met twee kantjes van wereldmuziekpareltjes uit de oude en nieuwe doos. Op kant A gaat het van dubby roots sferen tot kitscherige Latino synths en Afrikaanse swingfolk. Vervelen doet deze eclectische mix allerminst. Enkele bekende Jamaicaanse roots artiesten zult u wellicht kennen in al uw wijsheid, maar wat gedacht van de zwoele Afro-swing van ene Donald uit Malawi? Kant B begint in onbestemde Indiase sferen en slaat via een Afro-Italiaanse binnenweg langzaam terug naar het Afrika van voor de jaren 1970 met tussenstops in Mozambique, Ghana en Oeganda voor wat mooie sepia folk en eindigend in Franstalige kitsch. Ideale gemoedsmuziek voor een roadtrip of tijdens huiselijke klusjes tegen de prijs van een trappist. Het speelse hoesontwerp komt overigens van de Duitse Hannah Friese."

"Another Night in The Mirror Room": May 15, 2012
Music City presents
"Another Night in The Mirror Room"
A two-level celebration with
SEA URCHIN (Italy/Egypt)
HUUR IS DUUR (Belgium)
HUMUS (Belgium)
DJ HUNTIN SETELI (Finland)
DJ BONZAI TARZAN (Ecuador)
On the 15th of May, 2012 at 8 PM
at The Student, Rue des Palais 76, 1000 Brussels
SEA URCHIN
Francesco Cavaliere and Leila Hassan work with the primal forms of sound and light. Using raw materials and textile surfaces, they transform multiples rays of light into a projection that changes shape - organically and constantly. Sea Urchin is a vehicle of investigation that furthers their aim to explore a mirage of forms as a bridge to an unreachable cosmos, or equally an unexplored seabed.
HUUR IS DUUR
Acoustic improvisational delicacies by Wietske Van Gils (Zim Zim Zim) and Christophe Piette (ROT, Gangalai & Gourabai). A recreation of nature itself.
HUMUS
A multi-layered substratum, an organic sound matter shining under a full moon sky. Here music, like some appetizing ground digested by enthusiastic worms, reveals the very nature of compost: a gift from the earth.
DJ HUNTIN SETELI
Coming from the North and endlessly discovering the City, this neo-bohemian curly head will be sharing his visions with you, right in his favorite bar.
DJ BONZAI TARZAN
Needs no introduction. Straight from the South American jungle, The Student sweetest resident DJ.
Feel welcome!
