Say what you will about their name, they probably don’t care. The Very Best, a London-based collaboration between Malawian singer Esau Mwamwaya and the French and Swedish production duo Radioclit, defy geographical and musical borders alike. They hit it big last winter with a blog-blowing mixtape, baring a track-list complete with names like MIA, Vampire Weekend, and Michael Jackson. Their latest, Warm Heart of Africa, relies less on recognizable samples, instead, leaving space for a new star, Mwamwaya, to shine. So, really? Very Best or not, there is no denying that they are certainly something.

Note:

Don't forget: the Very Best are also headlining the Flavorpill Halloween party. Get your tix before they sell out!
