CIAFRICA has a new free mixtape. CIA History Part 3. As I mention in the Pitchfork interview:
…I’m also very soon, around the same time, releasing a mix CD– actually I’m mixing it, from these African MCs and singers from Abidjan, Ivory Coast, called CIAfrica. its great because people think… “Oh African music, it’s dancey, it’s happy, nice melodies, very uplifting”. And these guys are abrasive, synthetic, angular, non-dancey lyric-driven music. It’s fantastic. So that’ll be coming out soon too.
that’s for fall. until then, you can check CIA History Part 3 or any of various other free mixes floating around their myspace.

@Bkudler: yeah there are CIA History part 1&2 availabe on the myspace http://www.myspace.com/ciafrica you can also grab the d’n’b/dubstepish productions by producers Greendog & Spi on Babylon Residence instrumental projects vol 1&2.
