DJ Mixanthrope Deposits Another Francophonic Mix About Money
<p>Wu Tang Clan summed it up succinctly and memorably when they said “Cash rules everything around me—(CREAM!)” but that’s hardly the last word on the subject. Our friend, the Berlin-based DJ Mixanthrope, has collected a few more <em>bon mots</em> about money from West and Central Africa.</p>

<p>It’s a pretty blissed-out mix for having such serious subject matter, and several of the songs are about how you have to “work—every day work”—for money, and how “only work pays.” </p>
<p>I guess it’s appropriate for May Day, and, frankly, as someone working to this music, I can personally attest that it’s helping me get through the day.
