I met Mike Banks, Jeff Mills and Robert Hood from Underground Resistance in the R&S studios in Ghent in February 1992 and persuaded Mike to do a telephone interview with my friend Bjørn Torske from Brygga Radio in Tromsø.

Reissue of 2009 LP DJ Katapila "Trotro" coming out now on Awesome Tapes From Africa. Pre-order: http://smarturl.it/TrotroiTunes **http://amzn.to/1VszdHu ** bit.ly/1ZStdhE

DJ Katapila makes Ga traditional music using electronic sounds instead of live percussion to create his own kind of what he calls house music.
 
In the context of Ghana’s pop music landscape, Katapila’s music is singular. The uptempo, bass-heavy, Roland 808-rooted sounds echo early 1990’s Detroit techno and Chicago acid house more than the contemporary hiplife productions blasting across Ghanaian airwaves currently.

However, the structure of Katapila’s sound directly descends from Ga musical lineage found around Accra. Neo-traditional dance music forms gome, kpanlogo and gyama are there.

DJ Katapila didn’t start producing music until he was 39 years old. Around 1998, began chanting and rapping in Twi and Ga during instrumental breaks of songs he was DJing. He added Yamaha DD11 electronic drum pads and sampler and invented new creations on the fly. Katapila then began experimenting with program beats using Fruity Loops on his laptop.

His music reflects his love for the international dance pop that filtered into Accra’s radio waves in the ‘90s: Inner City’s “Big Fun”; C&C Music Factory’s “Gonna Make You Sweat”; Crystal Waters’ “Gypsy Woman”; even Rick Astley hits, among many others. Katapila mixed international tunes with highlife—J.A. City Boys and AB Crentsil—as well as hiplife, Ghanaian gospel, Jamaican dancehall, soca and regional Francophone hits. This blend helped set the stage for Trotro and the inspired yet minimalist dance music Katapila now creates.

Matrixxman has been a Dekmantel regular for a couple of years now. The San Francisco producer continues to impress with a new triptych for Dekmantel Records. Over the course of three EP’s (Rhythm, Acid, Polyphony), Charles McCloud Duff displays his versatile and original take on house and techno. The concept of the triptych is to explore the range within the confines of a particular limitation. 

This second EP "Sector II: Acid" shows an exercise in acid. Similarly, the TB-303 may conjure certain knee-jerk reactions at a glance, but acid has the potential to cover a broader palette of emotion than one might initially expect. Sector II holds three squirming 303 sequences and the classic rhythmic drum programming of ‘Arrival’, ‘Bad Acid’ and ‘I Am Matrix’. ‘Rites’ on the other hand is more subtle and fluent, swinging with hazy acid flourishes and dynamic syncopation.

PROTEST 4 – ENDLICH / UNENDLICH ENDLICH wird wieder protestiert. Ein sanft vorantreibender, ambienter beat macht sich auf den Weg in die Stadt. Fremde Stimmen versuchen ihn ins Dunkel zu führen. UNENDLICH beinhaltet geheimste Botschaften des Wolfgang Voigt’schen Minimalwissens. Die erschließen sich aber nur bei voller Lautstärke unter dem Kopfhörer. 11Minuten Alles oder Nichts in scheinbarer Unbeweglichkeit. Schwarzes Rauschen. Schwarzes Loch. Zur Erläuterung gibt es dazu ein Video mit Untertiteln. Es heißt: Wolfgang Voigt – Endlich Unendlich

Release Date // September 26, 2011

Wolfgang Voigt - Endlich

As with a lot of Bio Rhythm material, 'Entopic Phenomena' is upfront and kinetic, furnished with kicks that thwack with ferocity and a viscous, ever-evolving bass synth motif. Each close listen reveals a new dimension to the low-end groove: sometimes it's truncated and punchy, others undulating and gurgling, and paired with Jamal Moss' aerated, ambrosial pads, the melodic elements have the power to inspire moments of spiritual inner awareness on the dancefloor.

'Same Beings, Same Experiences, Same Worlds' is out April 3rd on @biorhythmrecords.

Flight 2 Berlin Pt. 1

Flight 2 Berlin Pt.1 - Folson & Tate

Artist: Truncate & Chambray (Side A) |  Biri (Side B)
Title: FIGURE JAMS 006
Label: FIGURE JAMS
Preorder: http://bit.ly/2XFq5Xf

Jamming things up once more, we‘re pairing Chambray with long-time Figure-affiliate Truncate for a pair of exciting floor-killers, then go out with some fresh take on techno by Biri.

No Stress is exactly the reminder needed when letting things flying in all directions with this unpredictable, spiraling power work-out. Trax 4 The Club pays homage to the its heritage but shoots way beyond the treaden template. Tongue-in-cheek and swinging widely, this one hits far more carefully than expected, yet all the more satisfying when it does!

On the flip it‘s Biri deploying his rigid style of layering sounds which he makes seem fluid and lively, never changing things up too soon or too late. By such his drive along the meticulously shaped arps on Snox101 stays a constant thriller, while Through The Fields becomes an ambient-leaning excursion through time and space, opening up the body and mind.

Coming soon.
