Gonjasufi's rather brilliant debut album "A Sufi and a Killer" was a big favourite here at the Labs so this remix album brought up a few questions - mainly, could the originals be improved on? Astonishingly the answer is mostly yes. Warp have as usual done a great job of lining up remixers that can bring something new to the tracks while keeping the integrity of the original material intact. From established producers like Mark Pritchard to new Scottish talent Dam Mantle , the quality is kept high throughout. Other [...]
The Gaslamp Killer makes a long awaited return on Brainfeeder with his new EP "Death Gate". This time he has continued his collaboration with Gonjasufi to deliver a psyched out slice of electronica to get those spines shivering. This hits in mid October but thanks to Pitchfork you can grab an early listen. The Gaslamp Killer - When I'm In Awe (Ft Gonjasufi)
Ahora mas que nada que a cántaros llueve en la ciudad, que la envergadura de las nubes bruna abrazan la ciudad, bañan sus calles con sus estrepitosas lluvias espontáneas y la gente encabronada regresa a sus hogares solo para quitarse la ropa, atusarse un pan al son de un café de calidad genérica y escurrirse en el sillón o la cama de su preferencia a modo de querer encarnar en el y jamás volver a sus odiados trabajos, pues aquí van unas piezas para como colocarle la tan gastada pero nunca prescindible cereza al pastel, que mínimo ah de [...]

It's approaching closing party time on the White isle, time to reacquaint ourselves with this sliver of magic from Earl Zinger : 'Escape From Ibiza' is a superb insight into the perils of the balearic's most hedonistic stop off. Look out for the Spanish taxi driver.. Earl Zinger- Escape From Ibiza (Download) This popped up over on Pitchfork yesterday, it's a track from The Gaslamp Killers new EP 'Death Gate'. Vox come courtesy of [...]
L'incontournable Gaslamp Killer revient le 12 octobre avec un nouvel EP intitulé The Death Gate sur Brainfeeder . Et on doit dire qu'on attend un peu plus que le premier extrait diffusé, " When I'm In Awe ", en featuring avec Gonjasufi, totalement dans la lignée de l'album A Sufi & the Killer sorti chez Warp . Le morceau sample " Bemen Sebeb Letlash " de Mahmoud Ahmed. Rien de bien exotique pour les amateurs de jazz éthiopien, [...]
I imagine there is a limited market for Gonjasufi screeching his skinned cat yelps over Gaslamp Killer's Turkish psych samples. Luckily, that limited market is me. Brainfeeder presumably gave the EXCLUSIVE (for 16 seconds) to Pitchfork to spread the wealth around. Thus, I will defer to their sparkling prose: "Los Angeles-based producer the Gaslamp Killer has a new EP, Death Gate , that's set to drop October 12 on Flying Lotus ' Brainfeeder imprint. The EP features a collaboration with Gonjasufi that you can check out below. In case your memory's short, [...]

"A motherfucking sensation" kündigt die Konzertagenda des Bad Bonn an. Auch die Veranstalter scheinen kaum zu glauben, welch dicken Fisch sie da an Land gezogen haben. Gonjasufi kommt nach Düdingen. Mit " A Sufi and A Killer " gibt Gonjasufi vor einigen Monaten seinen Einstand auf Warp und avanciert schnell zu einem der Top-Acts des Labels. Mit brüchiger Stimme predigt er Wut und Weisheiten, verpasst seinen Songs durch Samples aus aller Welt eine breite stilistische Färbung und schickt sie in [...]
Espagne, début des années 70, le flamenco toujours en plein essor va connaître son premier métissage. Critiqué par quelques traditionalistes, l'apparition d'instruments comme la basse électrique va donner naissance au flamenco rock. Empruntant le pas de ce croisement, le duo espagnol Las Grecas , fondé par les soeurs Barull (Carmela et Tina) va atteindre en 1974 la première place des charts hispaniques pendant 5 semaines avec le titre "Te Estoy Amando Locamente" première track de leur premier album Gipsy Rock . Compilicité visible et communicative entre Carmela et Tina, elles affirmeront leur succès [...]
Mark Pritchard channels Ennio Morricone with epic orchestral dystopia on his remix of 'Ancestors' while retaining the inherent gravity of Flying Lotus' original production while Brooklyn'sBear In Heaven's remix of Gonjasufi's "Love of Reins" will appear on Warp's release of The Caliph's Tea Party, a remix album Of Gonjasufi's critically aclaimed Sufi and a Killer, alongside Broadcast and the Focus Group, Bibio, Oneohtrix Point Never, and more.

the reason i like gonjasufi 's warp records debut so much has a lot to do with how the album title so cryptically yet precisely describes how the whole thing sounds. equal parts esoteric and worldly, a sufi and a killer blends itself into a gorgeous expanse of free floating ideas and sounds, never content to stay at any point, as if that point could even be pinned down. and while the themes seem overtly spiritual at times, there's always a distinctly rough edge to the sound that's almost certainly referencing something, someone of this world. perhaps, [...]
Bibio, Dam Mantle, Shlomo, Broadcast, Mark Pritchard and Bear in Heaven are amongst the artists who will contribute remixes to the upcoming Gonjasufi remix album The Caliph's Tea Party out on October 4th on Warp . Gonjasufi's debut album A Sufi And A Killer was a scattershot collection of shamanistic electronic, dub, Middle Eastern and psychedelic influences and judging by the high-quality remixes below it makes for excellent source material.

My Gold Mask-1000 Voices This duo hailing from Chicago is proof that you don't need a big band to create a full rich sound. If you don't believe us believe the EP and if you don't believe that see them live. Keepaway-Babystyle Brooklyn locals, Keepaway made our list of 10 for 2010 in the beginning of the year and so far they have lived [...]
Gonjasufi vs Gaslamp Killer, Festival Colors, Paris, Nouveau Casino, le 12 juillet 2010 Que de réjouissances en perspective en cette soirée caniculaire de juillet ! Je vous parlais de cette incroyable bonhomme il y a de ça quelques mois, une découverte, une vraie, et franchement je n'aurais pas parié un kopeck qu'il débarquerait de son désert du Nevada jusqu'à nous pour un concert. Et bien, j'aurais dû. Si je me réjouis autant ce soir, c'est aussi que ma vie d'ascète enceinte manque quelque peu de psychédélisme mais avec le [...]
Zimno, nie? Powiało, zeszroniło, zmroziło i znów na słowa pogodynki wypada powiedzieć tylko Szadź up! Mamy nadzieję, że biorąc pod uwagę te niesprzyjające warunki atmosferyczne, wybaczycie nam zbrodniczą politykę jednej notki na 2-3 dni. No, to się ubawiliśmy po pachy, a teraz do rzeczy = do muzyki. Nasze wakacyjne rozpłynięcie objawia się muzycznymi ucieczkami w: - twórczość jodowaną (pisaliśmy już, że Best Coast wyrzuca świadomość słuchacza na *PLAŻĘ*! Jej debiut też to robi ; poza tym oczywiście Zombies, plażowe chłopaki (co to i w gałę porżną i o amortyzatorach pogadają) - tradycyjnie, bo [...]
Viime vuosien omalaatuisimpiin elektronisen musiikin artisteihin lukeutuva Gonjasufi saapuu uuden Freaks-klubin ensimmäiseksi ulkomaiseksi esiintyjävieraaksi. Warp-levymerkin talliin kuuluva muusikko-räppäri nousee Club YK:n lavalle torstaina 19. elokuuta. Suurimman osan elämästään San Diegossa vaikuttanut, mutta nykyisin Las Vegasissa asuva Gonjasufi, oikealta nimeltään Sumach Ecks , kuuluu nykypäivän omaperäisimpiin artisteihin. Entinen narkomaani, nykyinen muusikko ja rastapäinen jooga-opettaja nousi maineeseen vierailtuaan viime vuoden Flow-festivaaleillakin nähdyn Flying Lotuksen kappaleella Testament . Hypnoottinen kappale herätti kokeelliseen elektroniseen musiikkiin erikoistuneen Warp-levymerkin mielenkiinnon, ja pian Gonjasufi nousi yhdeksi puhutuimmista uusista artisteista. Gonjasufin ennakkoluulottomassa ja monialaisessa elektronisessa musiikissa [...]

The third day of a four-day festival is often potentially the best – your body has got used to the abuse of late nights, constant standing and perhaps one or two more beverages than normal. Here at Roskilde there's also an influx of one-day ticket holders who have been waiting until the weekend to arrive. Put all this into the mix with one of Denmark's most lauded new bands, The Rumour Said Fire (by now you can spot a Danish band by name alone, right?) and put them in the mid-sized [...]
