I don't mean to be a prude when I do this, but we all had favourite albums last year, you can't deny that, and I had too many. In fact, so many that I loved that it was difficult to decide between them all, and I had been reading endless 'trendy choice' end-of-year lists before the year had even gone out. So I thought I might deliver some kind of personal justice by posting one that people can sneer at all they want, but might actually pick out something they overlooked and think "Hey, I might actually try that now, [...]
Click here to view the embedded video. Galambo is Chilean musician/producer and folk investigator Bryan Phillips, who recently relocated to Melbourne. Australia is very privileged Galambo has chosen to live in Melbourne, as this is a project connected to the futurist folk scene in Latin America having played gigs with the likes of Argentine genius producer Chancha Via Circuito ( ZZK Records ) and their debut album was produced by Argentinian digital cumbia guru The Peronists . Phillips spent some time in Melbourne in 2006 as [...]
Once upon a time I gave Philippe Cohen Solal (of Gotan Project ) a few CDs of experiments with the Colombian rhythm of Cumbia, which I had sourced from travels in Mexico, myspace, blogs, or directly from producers and DJs in Tijuana, Mexico City, Monterrey, Bogota and Buenos Aires. I figured someone who had very successfully innovated with Tango, would be interested in another similar movement going on with Cumbia. In fact I was so excited about this new twist on cumbia, that in 2008 I started a project called [...]
Ut och sväva lite? Chancha via Circuito släppte sitt album Rio Arriba för nåt halvår sen (på internets: 4000 miljarder år sen) men den här låten har Pastorn lyssnat så många gånger på att det nu måste vara legalt för honom att dela med sig av den. Köp vingar för pengarna, så drar vi. Chancha via Circuito - Cumbion de las Aves
Catar_sys y Villa Diamante Si pensaban que el tango era la música de Argentina, pues se equivocan: allí manda la cumbia villera. Eso nos enseñó Diego Bulacio (Villa Diamante desde ahora) cuando se presentó en el aniversario de la gente del Black Magic Sound acá en Caracas (El Teatro Bar). Excelente toque lleno de excelente música con excelentes asistentes que seguro no se olvidan jamás de ese día. Él, junto a Catar_Sys (su compañero de tour), DJ Karim de Argelia, Magú y Chonto , hicieron tremenda presentación, [...]
I have Mexican friends who will tell you Cumbia is equally a Mexican as much as a Columbian art form: this Argentinian fellow shows up both countries. His album elaborates on a Cumbia journey across the digital spectrum, infusing the South American/Latin style with some post-modern, 2010 IDM flavourings. The last track on the album may have the effect of an imaginary K-hole if you listen loudly and intently enough. At the moment outside of Argentina "Río Arriba" is only available to stream on soundcloud according to the label. Chancha Via Circuito just finished [...]
Uproot Andy tourne en Europe La fusion tropicale développée par Uproot Andy me réjouit sérieusement. Depuis quelques temps les soirées Qué Bajo! organisées en compagnie de Geko Jones ont bénéficié d'un certain buzz au sein d'une communauté curieuse, et les premières tracks sorties chez Bersa Discos ont confirmé et internationalisé le son d'Uproot Andy. Le DJ / producteur de Brooklyn montre une capacité à lier les univers musicaux pour en faire une fusion qui réunit les anciens et les modernes. J'en touchais 2 mots ici : " le meilleur de [...]
Click image to download these albums While assembling a top list for 2009 I found that there were four albums that really blew me away and stuck with me for the entire year. Trying to choose another six seemed a little silly to me, so here are my top four, with an honorable mention category for number five. Lhasa de Sela and Jay Reatard put out fantastic albums in 2009 and both died young in early 2010. I highly recommend checking out "Lhasa" and "Watch Me Fall." 4. Animal Collective – "Merriweather [...]

La chaleur de la cumbia commence à parcourir l'Europe. Ces quelques frissons semblent être dus en partie à ce que certains nomment neo ou nueva cumbia . Mais d'où cela vient-il ? Retour en mots et en morceaux sur un courant musical crossover. Cumbia with attitude Toy Selectah revient sur la genèse de ce que l'on commence à nommer la Nueva Cumbia ou Neo Cumbia . Dans cet entretien le Dj / producteur mexicain insiste sur la filiation naturelle de cette scène qui commence à [...]
Here at the blog his name has a really solid reputation. It's rare have an artist as prolific yet at the same time so consistent. Not only that but with each release his style develops and his production get tighter (anyone in doubt should check his Three 6 Mafia remix). More and more I'm hearing "have you got the new Douster thing" as a conversation starter cause there always seems to be some new heat floating about the nets. This track has been out [...]
