Afro-Disco Makossa

AFRO-DISCO MAKOSSA is the first album on Linear Labs built strictly for the dance floor, and Younge is uniquely qualified to make it. He didn't arrive at Afrobeat as an outsider paying tribute. Through his sister label Jazz Is Dead, he already helped define what modern Afrobeat sounds like. His sessions with Tony Allen (co-creator of the genre itself) and Highlife pioneer Ebo Taylor didn't just inform his musical vocabulary; they produced two celebrated modern classics. Afro-Disco Makossa is what happens when that same artist asks a different question entirely: what would a Ghanaian producer in '76 have made if he set out to create an American disco record for his hometown? The result is a sonic patchwork of Afrobeat, funk, and disco built for the DJ of any era.
