Hola @ todos!
news & friction from the Soot crew.
first off:
Timeblind GHOSTIFICATION EP is alive and kicking. As Warpmart explained: “Absolutely excellent single from Timeblind, who has picked up the dubstep virus here and gone all haunted on us.” We’re received tons of positive feedback on this one — it’s a deeep record.
iTunes now rocks the mp3s, but bass devotees will need the clear vinyl version, which is sure to sell-out soon…
A CONFUSION OF TONGUES
Maga Bo recently joined the Soot camp, and his mixtape CD, A Confusion of Tongues, will be released this fall. Along with the CD, there will be a coupla 12″s with original Maga Bo productions featuring members of Senegal’s top rap crew, Pee Froiss, and remixes by Asian Dub Foundation’s Dr Das, Ghislain Poirier, and Nettle.
Newcomers to Maga Bo’s sound should check out his free Blentwell mix. Bo is based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and is currently in Zanzibar recording with MCs and taarab ensembles. He keeps it really real, in case you were wondering.
DJ /rupture teamed up with Maga Bo to curate a Third World Beats CD “A La Carte” selection for Barcelona’s SONAR festival. You can stream the audio here. They squeezed in 17 songs, most or all of them aren’t distributed internationally and are otherwise hard to get ahold of. Kwaito, kuduro, African rap, raï, proto-reggaeton, proibidao funk carioca, Berber pop, a lo-fi recording of Cheb Mami riding a classic reggae riddim, and more.
MISTER RUPTURE
will be performing at Holland’s (big) Lowlands festival this Friday, August 18. On the 19th he and Andy Moor (The Ex) will do a low-key improv duo performance at OT301. the evening is free, starts at 9pm. Check Rupture’s blog for updates and mp3s and decentertainment. Mister /Rupture keeps busy finishing production on the Nettle album. More as it comes.
