В 70-х годах прошлого века на африканском континенте сыскал невероятную популярность афробит – жанр, сочитающий в себе африканскую традиционную музыку, джаз и фанк. Позже, на волне интереса к регги, сукусу и другой африканской музыке, в России стали появляться афробит-коллективы, важной частью которой стали представители африканской диаспоры. Костя Экономов – основатель московской афробит группы Zava Matotra, художник и преподаватель МГХПА им. Строганова. С начала двухтысячных годов он принимает участие в жизни московской афробит-сцены и так или иначе столкнулся почти со всеми её участниками. Мы поговорили с Костей о работе с африканскими музыкантами, о жизни афробита на просторах столицы в течении последних двух десятков лет и о взаимном влиянии музыки Африки и Европы друг на друга.

The Mixtape 44: Discom

A new tape has come our way, this time directly from the Eastern future. In our attempts to decode the time that has no yet come, we managed to get our hands on a lost & found KASET that serves as an archival object, a tape that gives visionary insights into a utopian future. 

If we can only imagine the outward characteristics of the future, we can alternatively have a better understanding of it through the means of sound. By engaging in a distinctive kind of sonic futurology, Easternfuturism by Bogdan Orbita provides us with a new understanding of both the time of 'has been' and the 'yet to come'.

Additional text:

This music will grow out of its own structure and grains. A castle of sand falling apart, slowly. Sometimes it's like a photograph of a hotel, not translating to the present. There is an expressiveness, but more as in helplessness. A soft and steady repetition of future beliefs. Does this make the music personal? Yes, everything happens under context. Like in society positive things need to be said over and over again. An endless desire.

uon duh - EUROPE (Cass, 2019) Excerpts

The delights of the incredible 80s Japanese underground - this time, the familiar dissociative minimal wave and funky flexi punk jazz will be replaced by experimental ambient nocturnes, weird etherial pop minimalism, ambivalent post-industrial quirks and other immersive eclecticism.

Playing tracks by: Shouwa Taisha (a.k.a. EP-4), Duppi, Pale Cocoon & Gunjogacrayon.

''Presqu'île est un groupe de musique fondé en bordure du fleuve St-Laurent au Québec en 2019. Les morceaux sont issus de grandes improvisations où mélodies, textures et poésie s'agencent de manière organique et honnête. Avec pour but de conserver l'authenticité du moment vécu, les morceaux n'ont pas été réenregistrés en studio. Depuis, un flux continu de compositions émergent du collectif, accumulant plusieurs heures d'explorations. Dialogue avec le fleuve'
