DJ Black Low — Drive Through

DJ Black Low "Impumelelo" comes out 17 March on LP and Digital formats:
https://lnk.to/DJBlackLow_Impumelelo

There’s more than a hint of ambition on the double LP sophomore effort from Sam Austin Rabede, the producer known as DJ Black Low. Pretoria, South Africa-born and based, the young man makes amapiano with new ways of expressing this local-turned-global style of dance music. 
In DJ Black Low’s musical imagination, the songs manage to smoothly vacillate between dreamy and firmly-grounded. Adorned with vocalists across most of the twelve tracks, there’s a new dimension to Black Low’s now-signature approach to abstract, angular deconstruction of the rhythmic developments in his songs. 

The album references influences and ambitions in its song titles and lyrics while the music itself is anthemic in its sonic and structural aspirations. On many of the songs a slow-burning tension transforms into something unexpected until you’re somewhere else as the track concludes. There is an emotional and compositional maturity that builds on his earlier work. Vocals and lyrics are in focus. Production collaborators among Black Low’s Gauteng Province circle add to the constantly churning array of ideas that populate this consistently surprising release. Despite being a relative newcomer, DJ Black Low is onto something here.

Roger Bekono made a deep mark in the contemporary history of Cameroonian music through the four-on-the-floor, ribald intensity of bikutsi. The Ewondo-language dance-pop style that forms an undulating tapestry of interlocking triplet rhythmic interplay came to international prominence in the European “world music” scene as the 90s began. But the relentless sound of bikutsi developed in Yaoundé at the hands of Bekono and many others, as it developed from a village-based singing style performed mostly by women into a cosmopolitan music force that rivaled the popularity of established musics like Congolese rhumba, merengue and makossa. With his unique—some say suave—voice, Bekono contributed much over a period of more than 10 years as part of the evolution of this traditional rhythm-turned-urban dance movement.

Roger Bekono a fait une profonde marque dans l'histoire contemporaine de la musique camerounaise grâce à l'intensité four-on-the-floor et hardie de bikutsi. Le style de musique pop dansante en langue ewondo qui forme une tapisserie ondulante d'interplay rythmique à triplets est devenu internationalement célèbre dans la scène de la « world music » européenne au début des années 90. Mais le son inlassable de bikutsi a été développé à Yaoundé entre les mains de Bekono et de beaucoup d'autres, alors qu'il se développait d'un style de chant basé sur les villages interprété principalement par des femmes en une force musicale cosmopolite qui a rivalisé avec la popularité des musiques établies telles que la rumba congolaise, le merengue et le makossa. Avec sa voix unique – certains disent suave – Bekono a beaucoup contribué pendant plus de 10 ans à l'évolution de ce mouvement de danse urbaine à partir d'un rythme traditionnel.

JULIEN BABINGA M'Bongui-Percussions SOUND VOYAGE future world edit

The routine was almost perfect, it was a beautiful performance with grace and style. Movement 4 was particularly stunning, the flickering beads of the delicate costume sparkled beneath the light as the dancers moved beneath the glow of the floodlights upon the stage. In the audience there were gasps of amazement and intrigue, it was to be a long night. 

New World Science is a newly formed project/ collaborative group formed of an impressive cast of producers and musicians all perhaps best known for operating under their own monikers. Priori, Ex-Terrestrial, Ramzi, R Weng and Emmanuel Thibau have all collaborated on a new EP which features a subtle blend of jazz, ambient soundscapes and a tropical, balearic edge. It's a remarkable feat which allows the collective to explore a new, dynamic channel of music and stretch the limits of their own creativity. 

The release is forthcoming on Temple and will be released in the coming weeks....

Où cela commence-t-il ?
Where does cultural appropriation end and procreational fusion begin?
The answer to that depends on the perceiver.

For some, applying the structures of electronic music to folkloristic samples may seem de-contextualizing. Yet when considering the similarity between dancefloor compositions and the minimalism of Steve Reich and Terry Riley, the gap to traditional music begins to fade away. They remain distinct mostly by aesthetic characteristics of sound.

Nicolas Sheikholeslami’s premiere solo record as Çaykh is named after the French conjunction "Où" - meaning “where” - as this was the linking element during production. We witness an attempt to re-contextualize music that travelled from analog tapes - recorded in different localities along the Indian Ocean - to a hard-drive via 192kb youtube rips. The sample-based compositions were digitally arranged before regaining their warm sonic qualities in a vintage mixing studio.

This EP assembles three metamorphic 4th-world disco pulsations. Expect some heavily trancy and polyrhythmic analogue-fi jams.

Nicolas Sheikholeslami aka Çaykh is a Hamburg-born and Berlin-based DJ and producer. He is active as drummer & percussionist for the projects Spiritczualic Enhancement Center and Circuit Diagram.

Çaykh’s three earlier sound-collage cassette releases have already earned him a certain fame in the 4th-world and outsider-disco realms. His collection of pre-war Somali music called “Au revoir, Mogadishu“ paved the way for the Grammy-nominated “Sweet as Broken Dates“ compilation, which he co-curated.

Mixed at Studio Strom, Bremen, Germany
Mastering by Mark Gergis (1.1) and Michael Graves (2.1 & 2.2)
