Been a damn minute since i posted something, sorry bout that.
Let’s go new music from around the globe!

From ghettobassquake
The Hackney Empire are taking over the world with the unique Afro-pop sound of The New Electric High-Life. Led by A.J. Holmes, this 6 piece are the ultimate Afro party disco machine. They leave no ass unshaken, and regularly incite frantic chaos on the dancefloor. The band have played support to David Byrne, and regularly collaborate with some of London’s finest African musicians from Palm Wine legend Abdul Tee-Jay, to Nigerian grime star Afrikan Boy.

‘Fraudian Slip’, produced by Radioclit (M.I.A., The Very Best, Amadou & Mariam) is the debut release on Ghetto Bassquake. The single is a raucous energetic track featuring vocals from Secousse’s resident MC, the Congolese Mic terror, Kastro.

As far as I know this is Erick’s very first commissioned remix that has been officially released outside of the Tribal guarachero scene. He’s turned in an absolute Killa as you can hear!

THE ROOTS OF CHICHA 2
(October 12, 2010 on Barbès Records)
ELECTRIC CUMBIAS FROM THE LOWER DEPTHS OF PERU (1968-1981)
Cultural phenomena streak through popular consciousness like meteorites. There’s a significant, even life-changing, impact made somewhere, but for many it’s only a moment that flickers by, soon to be swallowed back into the cosmos. Chicha might have been like that. Instead, a once-obscure music that enjoyed a fanatic embrace in the Peruvian slums of the 1970s has become a full-fledged global occasion – thanks to the stunning success of a 2007 CD called The Roots of Chicha.

Samo Sound Boy – Taking It All

Palms Out is pleased to announce the second EP from Los Angeles’ Samo Sound Boy. Taking It All consists of three stadium-sized percussive hybrid house rhythms, each of which comes complete with a huge bottom, crackling snares, and all of which will bring the house down. Accompanying the three originals are remixes by fellow LA firebrands and Palms Out fam, LOL Boys; Chicago/New York producer and drummer for These Are Powers, Brenmar; and finally Mixpak’s golden boy producer, UK’s Melé. More.

Heavy Sick – Taliesin – Dutty Artz

dj orion — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 23:09:01 +0000

Taliesin emailed this out the other day and I finally got a chance to listen to it (which unfortunately i don’t do too often). It’s kind of my style in the sense that he’s half timing and double timing some of the mixing and it stays eclectic. He says he made if for Ghetto Bazaar, a new blog and party from Budapest but I can’t read it, cause i don’t know the language. Maybe we can get some translating going.

Taliesin – Heavy Sick Tracklist:
El Gunicho- Antillas
Dev79 – Live n Die 4 tha Street Bass
Schlachthofbronx – Too High Feat Slush Puppy Kids
Octa Push – Kolokani
Timberlee – Gunny Gunny (Schlachthofbronx RMX)
The Brick Bandits- The Chase
Movado – Inna Di Carback
Movado – So Special (DJ Yonny Baltimore ClubRMX)
