slowburn

It’s been a few years since civil rights attorney / beatmaker Diego Bernal released any music but it’s hard to find time for music production when you are a councilman for one of the biggest cities in The United States. (District 1, San Antonio, Texas) Feeling the time constraints of his political endeavors, Diego reached out to producer and friend, Ernest Gonzales to help him put an album together. 

Gonzales said no. 

But...persistence paid off in the end and the two amigos set out to create an album. From the first track, a theme began to emerge and what started as a dusty, western sounding song, turned into a 9 song concept album that was written to be the soundtrack of an unmade Mexican Western film. The album, Atonement, is a tale of love and loss. It is a story in which the hero finds himself in despair and makes things right again in the end. 

But that’s not really the ending. 

The album will be sold on a pay what you want model and 100% of the proceeds will go towards the creation of a non-profit program called SAMPL (San Antonio Music Production Lab) aimed at teaching at-risk youth to produce music.

ESKMO - B-SIDE - Our Lives

Dirtwire's RipTide album is out now through Beats Antique Records. Visit riptide.dirtwire.net for more info.

As the cycles of life, weather patterns, and geopolitical shifts whirl about them, Dirtwire, the Bay-Area based electro acoustic duo of David Satori (Beats Antique) and Evan Fraser (Hamsa Lila, Stellamara), contain that energy in their latest release, RipTide, out May 12, 2015 on Beats Antique Records. With tracks highlighting the duo’s unique blend of dirt and wire, the album expertly combines acoustic, electric and electronic elements, which are carefully chosen and mixed together into their musical alchemy with pride. The album follows recent appearances at Coachella and Lucidity festivals, and is followed by a Summer tour along the West Coast, as well as an appearance at Sonic Bloom in Colorado.

This is an unreleased version of a track I wrote in 2008 called "Amphibian". A year later i made an updated version just for fun. This is the result. 

I had completely forgot and just found it today while gathering things together for my new Welder release: http://weldersounds.com

Enjoy.

KMLN - Alhambra ft. Dirtwire

In Washington D.C. there is a musical style called gogo. It’s a swingin’, heavily percussive, call and response sound unique to the capital.  We made our own spinoff version of the beat featuring the kamale ngoni (African harp), electric banjo, fiddle, cowbells, and a whole section of kazoos playing the horn lines.
