Be it in the tourbus, airplanes, hotel rooms, or the backstage of the venue — as a band, touring the world means spending a lot time together. In one of these creative hangouts between being on the road and being on stage, the Asian dream team and German ambassadors for Global Bass Music, SYMBIZ, invented a word expressing general positivity and summing up the experience of traveling around the globe: "YEERUH!" (Yeah-Ru). 

Shaped into a song, "YEERUH"! is a steaming hot Global Bass anthem — Invented on the road, produced in the heart of Berlin and put to live for the first time in a township in Zimbabwe.

Now, together with three diverse remixes by Germany's bass-heaviest producer "Bukez Finest", Berlin-based Reggae innovator "Teka", and Peruvian Global Bass duo "Dengue Dengue Dengue", YEERUH! will be made available on SYMBIZ' very Bandcamp-site and in all stores worldwide on Friday, June 13th 2014.

If there’s one thing we like is creating a relationship with the artists who make the music we love to hear and release. Cardiff-based artist Castro is one of the best examples of this, as the young producer and percussionist sent us an email back in 2013 with a single demo and a request that we listened to it. We listened – and boy, are we glad we did – and ended up releasing it as Toot Toot on the Upper Cuts free downloads series. It was, and still is, one of the weirdest and most captivating zouk bass tracks we’ve heard so far, and it provided the foundation on which we kept building, eventually releasing the 2-track EP ‘Bipolar’ which he now follows-up with his proper debut EP ‘The Subtle Approach’, making the journey from unknown bedroom producer to promising young artist in a heartbeat. 

If his unpredictable takes on zouk bass were the starting point of our relationship with Castro, now there’s a whole lot more happening inside Owen Sheppard’s studio. The slow cadence of these modern kizomba offshoots and moombah hybrids naturally attracted the young percussionist’s attention, but as he grows as an artist he proceeds to fully dive into the Global Club Music world to tackle all sorts of rhythms and influences. However, as much as they have evolved since then, intricately-constructed beats, colorful melodies and a healthy mix of humour and sensitivity – all of it infused with that tropical aroma – are still very much at the heart of Castro’s tracks.

The Subtle Approach is the definitive introduction to Castro’s own sonic universe, where a profound understanding of genres and scenes like Zouk Bass, Moombah, UK Funky or Bass Music provides him with the foundation to build a hybrid sound that manages to touch on these influences while becoming something unique. From the breezy EP opener Cobwebs’ entrancing steel drums melodies to the vibrant and cheerful dancefloor-focused collaboration with Amsterdam-based vocalist Zanillya on Ring Ring, the frantic percussive energy of Let Me Go or Bam Bam’s weird looping vocal samples, the producer’s debut EP is a true sonic rollercoaster that proudly showcases some of the best things that can be found inside the Global Club Music scene.

Since its inception in 2013, Mawimbi founders have been expanding their knowledge of lesser known and rather undiscovered musical territories thanks to chance encounters with likeminded DJs/producers, who were kind enough to put them onto a good amount of under-the-radar tropical gems.

Launched in 2017 and named after Mawimbi's bi-monthly radio show on Rinse France, the "Radio Mawimbi" compilation series is dedicated to unearthing vintage tropical gems in the form of free download edits and remixes by some of the most seasoned diggers and promising rookies of the tropical-enthusiast community!

From deep, drum-heavy workouts to essential Guinea Bissau melancholy, through remixed Beninese afrofunk and vintage South African kwaito, this second installment features the editing and remixing works of Yeahman (Frente Bolivarista), LSD (Love Saves The Day), Déni Shain (ATANGANA Records), Umoja, Mawimbi, ATW (Around The World), Calisto, Turbo Boom-Boom (TBB) and Midnight Ravers.

Dengue Dengue Dengue’s latest release is named after the traditional dance called Son de los Diablos (Spanish for Sound of the Devils), which was brought over to Felipe Salmon and Rafael Pereira’s native Peru by the Spanish conquistadors, and consisted on a procession of dancers and musicians that took to the streets wearing devil masks. By enlisting Lima’s sizeable African slave population, this tradition incorporated the rhythms and dance styles that would eventually become known as Afroperuvian, one of the main elements of modern Peruvian music and culture and one that increasingly informs the music of Dengue Dengue Dengue, as was recently portrayed on RBMA’s ‘Afro-Peruvian Beats’ documentary. 

This inspiration is especially noticeable on the title track Son De Los Diablos, which incorporates traditional instruments such as the cajita, but also on Buscando, where the duo recorded with members of the Ballumbrosio family, the prominent lineage of musicians and dancers widely regarded as the the premiere ambassadors of Afroperuvian music, dance and culture. As the band explains, this song was “a big step forward”, as it was the first time the duo recorded every rhythmic element with live musicians, giving the track “the flow and cadence only live musicians can achieve”, as well as a vocal sample of one of Peru’s biggest stars Lucha Reyes. The EP continues with Flootz and Cobre, where the pair further explore the unique blend of entrancing South American and African rhythms and melodies that has become their signature sound.
