Wonderwheel Recordings is proud to present the debut EP & a remix 12" for new signing Alsarah & The Nubatones. Called “The New Star Of Nubian Pop” by The Guardian, the album was produced solely by Alsarah who describes the sound of Silt as “East African Retro Pop” - it’s music that harkens back to the hazy sounds of 1960s and 70s Nubian music with its haunting instrumentation, soaring vocal melodies, and pentatonic arrangements. 

The original song “Soukura” with is a small taste of her upcoming album Silt (out on 3/11) and gets a signature deep and entrancing Ancestral Soul remix by African house legend Boddhi Satva . Perennial Wonderwheel favorite The Spy From Cairo gives "Nuba Noutou" a dubby dancehall re-rub, and label head Nickodemus takes "Rennat" into late night house territory with his remix, letting only the slightest of vocals come through and build tension until the final moments of the tune. 

Alsarah, is a Sudanese born singer, songwriter and ethnomusicologist. Born in the capital city of Khartoum, where she spent the first 8 years of her life, she relocated to Taez, Yemen with her family to escape the ever stifling regime in her native country. She abruptly moved to the US in 1994, when a brief civil war broke out in Yemen. Now residing in Brooklyn, NY, she is a self-proclaimed practitioner of East-African retro-pop. Working on various projects, she most recently has been working with The Nile Project and was featured on their debut release, Aswan (named 1 of the Top 5 “Must Hear” international albums by NPR). She has also collaborated with French producer Débruit on the album Aljwal, released this past November via Soundway Records UK.

The Garifuna Collective - Seremei Buguya (Synapson Remix)

Original track by Guillermo Portabales

A remix I've made of son / guajira cuban legend Guillermo Portabales (1911-1970).
 
This particular song is a cumbia / guajira and tells the major influence colombian music (Cumbia & Porro) has had over latin america way back in the middle of 20th century, 50 years before the nu-cumbia / zizek spread its vibe over the world! 

It took me hours to slice, cut, paste the original in order to re-quantize it at a fix tempo (93 bpm), and then separate channels and remaster them to have proper material for a remix. 

You can check the original here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkn3VBqgyNY

I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do !! Cheers!

This was a fun one! Jeremy Sole & his Musaics band gave me an 8 channel 14 minute mix from the mixing board of a live concert in LA. I went in, got to work & came up with this tropical mash-up! It's only released on Turntables on the Hudson Vol 8 "Reflecting CIELO" Digital Version right now, so please grab a copy for your dancefloor!

Fort Knox Recordings presents
The New Gold Standard 2 Remixed EP 2 featuring new remixes by J.Boogie, Nickodemus, DJ Sabo, and Nappy Riddem.

Artist: Nappy Riddem & Empresarios
Release: The New Gold Standard 2 Remixed EP 2
Label: Fort Knox Recordings
Catalog #: FKX030

1. Nappy Riddem - One World Sovereignty featuring Asheru (J.Boogie Remix)
2. Empresarios - Cumbia (Nickodemus Remix)
3. Empresarios - Sabor Tropical (DJ Sabo feat Dario Boente)
4. Empresarios - Sabor Tropical (Nappy Riddem Remix)

The New Gold Standard 2 Remixed EP 2 is the second in a series of releases of remixes from the Fort Knox Recordings’ 2009 hit compilation, The New Gold Standard 2. This new release features 4 freshly-minted remixes of Empresarios, and Nappy Riddem.

The New Gold Standard 2 Remixed EP 2 showcases stellar remixes of the new roster additions to Fort Knox Recordings.

Nappy Riddem, the new super group featuring Fort Knox Recordings stalwarts Rex Riddem and Mustafa Akbar, along side Thievery Corporation live-band bassist, Ashish “Hash” Vyas, show the breadth of their new sound with “One World Sovereignty”, featuring Asheru (Unspoken Heard, “The Boondocks Theme”). We grabbed Bay Area Beat Doctor, J.Boogie, to add his signature dubby house flavor to “One World Sovereignty”. With a glitchy bassline, and dub fx reminiscent of Mad Professor, J.Boogie presents this song in a totally different light.

Empresarios is a group co-formed by Javier Miranda, a Fort Knox Five and See-I collaborator. They make their debut with two sizzlers. “Sabor Tropical,” featuring the vocal stylings of Francisco Rosado and Felix Perez, crosses the boundaries of Latin funk and reggaeton while “Cumbia” drives further south with a red-hot Latin trip-hop groove. Nickodemus of Turntables on the Hudson fame, reworked “Cumbia” into a dizzy latin funk bomb. With a massive kick drum, and a shuffling dub beat, this will be a tune for any beat aficionado. On “Sabor Tropical,” we had two amazing remixes turned in. The first from DJ Sabo, gives “Sabor Tropical” a funky latin house feel. It features a stunning breakdown followed by a lovely keyboard solo by Argentinian musician, Dario Boente. For the second remix, Nappy Riddem handed us a breakbeat driven carnival styled rework. It features the extra vocal stylings of Mustafa Akbar, along with a rumbling bassline, and a massive shuffling beat.

With sounds ranging from trip hop to hip-hop, latin to reggaeton, and some serious funk & soul thrown in, The New Gold Standard 2 Remixed EP 2 raises the bar once again, showcasing all the talented artists on Fort Knox Recordings.

Sammy Ayala has been a complete pleasure to collaborate with the past years! He's not only been in the most legendary salsa bands (Cortijo), but he wrote music with that huge smile until the day he recently passed away.  For his 74th? or 75th? Birthday, Sammy came down to one of our Turntables on the Hudson parties & rocked the mic & some percussion with us until 4AM... I can only wish to be as talented, animated & positive as Mr Ayala when I'm over 70! Unfortunately we lost Sammy in the physical last year (2012) but we hope you explore all his beautiful music over the years!

Ismael Kouyate came to my attention when seeing the band "Mandingo Ambassadors" back in 2008. We got into the studio quickly after & he floated like a butterfly over this instrumental in his native Mandingo flow. A year later I'm sitting with friends watching the new musical by Fela & I see this amazing dancer singing something familiar... Ismael singing N'Dini! Beautifully!! More collaborations on the way... stay tuned!
