Rebelsounds and Latino resiste present EZLN: 20 Years.

For many of you, the Zapatista is just a part of the iconography that has been going around from actually mid 90’s and slowly got into a more fashionist way of being rebellious. 
For many of those who were in the actual jungle, 20 years ago, it was their time to face the biggest enemy any indigenous group can handle:  Their own government.
It is amazing how just few hundred of campesinos (farmers) who are direct descendants of the Indigenous tribes that once populated the whole American continent achieved to get a highlight in their struggles in a pre-social media era,  putting in evidence the corruption and mischievous way of governments to treat their  aboriginal communities.

The Zapatista represented not only the Mexicans; they represented the whole continent’s struggles.
20 years ago, the whole planet moved even for a slip of a second to that jungle, and the gov, didn’t have any other choice that listen to their demands, because they knew everyone was paying attention.
Back in those days ; many artists decided to paint a musical landscape in support of that community.
Jungle, Mestizo, Cumbia, and Rock-grunge were killing it. 

So the first musical compilations that supported EZLN, came from that direction, bands like Rage against the Machine, Mano Negra, Asian Dub Foundation, Fermin Muguruza, Sergent Garcia, and many more decided to add their music and got inspired by their fight.










Fast forward to 2014. 
The campesinos struggles are exactly in the same spot. 
Although many things changed, and let’s be fair; In many ways, there had been a slight improvement; In reality; 20 years after, the power pyramid remains intact.
New struggles came in these 2 decades, from cultural appropriation to Land given to the corporations for mining purposes, to the actual selective killing of Indigenous political members; these communities keep facing five centuries of oppression.
We also now have learned we are not going to win, or change anything drastically in the political landscape of these countries.
But we bet all of our efforts to let the system know, that we will do anything in our power to reverse these situations.
There have been many small changes all separated, that when you add them up, they create a whole context for the Indigenous communities and empower them.
From the Bolivian refusal of using genetic modified seeds, and kicking out McDonalds, to the name drop of a local sport team in Canada in where a disrespectful name and mascot made very uncomfortable aboriginals and their families; to the actual legal fights in Brazil for the Amazon territories passing thru Colombian or Chilean strikes, this Zapatista fight represent everyone! Not just the Mexican, but the whole continent.

And we needed to be consequent with today’s musical landscape, but we still need to keep a tight relation with the initial movement and their supporters since day one.
That is why we are extremely happy to announce for the first time ever, we can get together pioneers and current legends, as well as a whole bunch of big names, and obviously in Latino Resiste style unveiling unknown producers, but equally talented. Because this is not about names, this is about the fight, the struggles; it is about connecting young people, of this moment of history, with this particular issue.





The compilation starts with a joint collaboration between the subversive collective Indigenous Resistance & the UK pioneers Asian dub foundation dropping their super killer track, Esta tierra no esta a la venta ( This land is not for sale).

Then we strike with A Tribe Called Red joining Mexican producer Javier Estrada, for a fast-paced super crazy track called Indigenous Power, in where Pow Wow meets Tropical Bass.

Next in line, Mano Negra's original keyboardist and P18 mastermind, send us a new great moombah-version of Sr Matanza, called Matanza in Barranquilla that is a Latin Banger!

Being an “all star” project from pretty much every big underground band of Colombia supporting the Campesino Strike, Papa con Yuca is the perfect track to show Indigenous support meets Musical richness.

Less known, but equally talented, Chilean Mr Toe, spent a great amount of time in the actual Jungle, learning from Aboriginal tribes, and living with them before going back to civilization and start mixing those experiences with music.

Rebelsounds founder members David raga submitted that Jose De Molina badass track that represent perfectly his knowledge about the actual Zapatistas, and the original EZLN members musical taste, as well as the most radical side of the political spectrum.
Also Rebelsounds member, and always conspirator Caballo drops his Latin tune Amolao ( struggled) 

The whole Booklet is AMAZING, art was made by Rebelsounds’ art director Punker, and the actual EZLN political support is given from Rebelsounds’ very own Hannibal whose mestiroots are having the official blessing from EZLN sympathizers.

FREE.  We know.. from a credible source, Mexican and actually few South American govs will try to take this one down, as it distorts the reality they want to sell it thru the media.
REBELSOUNDS & Latino Resiste!  Aguante la lucha Indigena!

Beginning in the Summer of 2012 with his Low End Theory guest spots, DJ Shadow's "All Basses Covered" set has morphed and evolved to incorporate as many different contemporary genres of urban and electronic music as possible. From hardcore rap to footwork and juke and beyond, Shadow has combed the web to curate seamless and dexterous blends of the most progressive sounds bubbling up from the underground.  'Too hard?' 'Too future?' Or just too raw? As always, DJ Shadow has provoked crucial flashpoints of discussion about the discipline of DJ'ing that have defined our turbulent times.  -DJShadow.com Team

Jenova is the latest beat tape from Wavves frontman Nathan Williams and his brother Kynan, who make beautifully dusted music together as Sweet Valley, earning praise from Spin, Pitchfork, Consequence Of Sound and others for their surprising take on instrumental hip-hop. The brothers Williams’ psychedelic excursions take a darker direction on Jenova, but the duo’s knack for untamed, unexpected textures (guitar feedback, girl group harmonies, trap hi-hats, Rambo noises) and ADD spirit keep the Sweet Valley vibes as lively as ever. Trip out to this…

Lyrics:

What would you do
If it all came back to you
Each crest of each wave
Bright as lightning
What would you say
If you had to leave today
Leave everything behind
Even though for once you're shining

Standing on higher ground
But when you hear the sounds
You realise it's just a whim (/the wind)
And you notice it matters
Who and what you let under your skin

If put to the test
Would you step back from the line of fire
Hold everything back
All emotions and desires

Convince yourself to be someone else
And hold back from the world
Your lack of confidence
What you choose to believe in
Dictates your rise or your fall

With no one else around you
No one to understand you
No one to hear your calls
Look through all your dark corners
When you're backed up against the wall
Step back from the line of fire

I'd do the same as you would
Would do the same as you
Step back from the line of fire

Belfast-based four-piece Girls Names are a singular proposition, both geographically and psychically removed from their contemporaries at home and abroad. Released in February 2013, their second album 'The New Life' is the sound of a band on the fringes striving to forge their own path, purposefully out of step - and time - with their surroundings. Weighed heavy with the grey landscapes of their hometown, 'The New Life' is isolation laid bare, shot through with an undeterred sense of purpose and individuality.

Having released a series of singles and EPs on various independent labels, Girls Names made their first significant impression on the wider world in 2011 with their debut album, 'Dead To Me,' earning plaudits from the likes of Pitchfork, NME and Loud & Quiet amongst a host of others. And yet, despite all the praise heaped on it, as soon as that record was released Girls Names were already moving into a different headspace. 

The band’s performance at this year Primavera festival provided them with their first real opportunity to showcase the songs that were to comprise 'The New Life.' The sunshine backdrop of the Spanish coastline offered a somewhat incongruous setting to the eerie dissonance of the new material, a kind of trial by fire metamorphosis rapturously received. Following a tour of Europe, the band returned home to record the album over a series of months. Having been produced by singer and songwriter, Cathal Cully, they’ve managed to capture that sense of otherness the performances at Primavera hinted at. The expansion to a four piece means the garage-clatter of the spritely pop songs of their debut have been replaced by a deeper, shadowy exercise in catharsis, driven by repetition, psychedelia and Dionysian crisis. And the record was born of a weighty concept too, as Cully explains: 

“'The New Life' is not an over night change for Girls Names - just over two years in fact. 'Dead to Me' literally was dead to us by the time it was committed to wax. But it's a learning curve. We started moving on as artists the moment we finished that recording session, maybe even before. Not to dwell on the past, 'The New Life' is what happens when you reset everything back to zero and start again, but try to perfect. It starts back at zero the minute the needle hits the groove but we're also starting back from zero once the needle lifts at the end of the record. Ad infinitum. 'The New Life' is what follows now.”

The album’s title track, and the first single to be taken from the album, is an ideal entry point. Just shy of 8 minutes long, it rotates around a hypnotic bass line, and in Cully’s evocation of renaissance, offers a perfect metaphor for the album as a whole. New single ‘Hypnotic Regression’ - available to stream today - reflects another side to the record. The reverb-heavy guitars and compelling melody are immediately memorable, but there are signs of experimentation, too; the white squall of the lead break; the uneasiness in the vocal echoes that furnish the verses. As such, 'The New Life,' stands as a brave statement; the mark of the band untying themselves from the past and easing forth into the unknown.

"The New Life" will be released on February 18th, 2013 on Tough Love (UK) and February 26th, 2013 on Slumberland Records (US).

Shlohmo - Don't Say No ft. How To Dress Well

El Remolón - Boxeo Constitución

ZZK Records presenta la banda de sonido de la película Boxeo Constitución, un documental que explora las crudas realidades del boxeo en Argentina. Poética y potente a la vez, intelectual y divertida, Boxeo Constitución es una banda de sonido conceptual concebida por uno de los más interestante productores de la escena emergente de Buenos Aires. Grabada con músicos de la escena porteña, el album presenta a integrantes de “El Remolón Y Su conjunto”.

Luego de dos años de viajar por la Argentina, el director austríaco Jakob Weingartner se encontró con un gimnasio de boxeo en las catacumbas de la histórica estación de trenes de Constitución. Las particularidades y condiciones de la misma lo inspiraron para hacer un documental, explorando las dificiles realidades del boxeo en Argentina. En el transcurso de este viaje, Jakob escuchó el tema “Bolivia” del album debut de El Remolón, Pibe Cosmo y pensó que podría ser perfecto para su documental.

Jakob se acercó a El Remolón con una idea, El Remolón aceptó y en vez de componer uno o dos tracks, decidió hacer una banda de sonido para toda la película, incluso para escenas que luego no quedaron en la misma pero sí en el soundtrack. Explorando la linea entre lo experimental, electrónico, lo ambiental y la cumbia, El Remolón, uno de los primeros artistas alistados por el prestigioso sello ZZK Records y reconocido por su efectividad en la pista de baile, creó un material que te lleva al corazón del gimansio de boxeo y a la derruida estación de trenes. La música acompaña las hazañas de los protagonistas y las imágenes de sus desafíos y triunfos diarios, sus pasiones y sus trabajos.

Músicos invitados:

Lido Pimienta (Colombia), a Maxi Russo, Fermin Echeveste y Andrés Ravioli en vientos (Morbo y Mambo, Mompox), Juan Marnich en guitarra  (Pimentón), Pablo Zapata en bandoneón, Patricio Smink (percusión) y Daniel Schteingart (teclados)

El disco es encuentra distribuido en Argentina por Ultrapop, se puede conseguir en la disqueria Mercurio y se puede conseguir internacionalmente en cualquier tienda digital (Itunes, Beatport, Amazon, etc).
