this is fucking unreal
have you tried using taxi or any of that shit for getting your music played for films or tv?
seriously dude,this is awesome stuff
im doing a jazz track for a radio play, its gonna be dnb aswell but mostly jazz and spoken word and dnb to emphasise mood
your music indicates that you should branch out and do shit like that, its got balls and groove, something that is needed in the world of today

--------------

Makina's debut EP "Potro" is the mixture of the old 20th century South American Folklore combined with the vibes of recent growing genres of the Global Bass community, such as Tropical Bass, Nu Cumbia, and the old time classic House sound.

"Potro' EP takes you to those moments were Palm Trees and a smooth orange evening sun illuminates the horizon sipping a delicious piña colada while seated in your holmes classic 1962 Convertible Cadillac.

This EP should be your companion if you're planning a trip to the southern hemisphere's Summer... and even if you're not planning on doing so, it'll be your secret weapon to escape the upcoming cold winter!

Jammin' With The Storm

'Don't Mind Them'  is the first single extracted from Oghene Kologbo's long-awaited second album 'Africa Is The Future' , to be released in december 2016 on Paris DJs. Kologbo was Fela Kuti's tenor guitar player in Afrika 70. It was only in 2007 that he put out his first solo album, 'Remember Fela' , with the berlin-based Afrobeat Academy (which would later on evolve into Ebo Taylor's band for his 'Love And Death' album). He's been playing with everyone from the afrobeat scene since then, on stage and on record, spreading his knowledge of afrobeat to every interesting musician interested.

In his own words :
"The tune just happened on the spot at Paris DJs, near the end of july 2015. Loik had sent my music to Djouls & Phabao because he was busy. I came to them, we just sat down, and I said "OK, if Loik is delayed, what if we did another song?". They replied "When ?". I said "Now ! Are you ready", and that's how we started. I played the drums first, it was good. Then I played the bass, it was getting better, then the guitar, then the doung, ding, deng deng deng… oof! and it was there.

'Don't Mind Them' is still afrobeat, but the old school taste. And it's the classic, because I play Afrika 70 style. No matter what you hear, this style was kept. Some people like to play Bob Marley style, some people play ska… I love the classic. Tony Allen has a style already, it's the Tony Allen. Femi Kuti has his Positive Force. Seun Kuti keeps the Egypt 80 style. So me I go back to 70. Orlando Julius, Segun Bucknor, Fela, Monomono, Sunny Ade, that's my college of music. And I like the combination of Phabao and Loik, it's one up to my taste, yes. Good things never hide!

I've been doing workshop with Les Frères Smith, playing with them for almost 6 years now, I knew Saké Smith, I knew Fab Smith, instead of bringing some horn players from Berlin or from Bruxelles, I had those ones right in front of me, and we gave it a go ! Daniele from World Squad is on this one too, he played with me many years, so I gave him a chance.

There's also backing singers from South America. Girls from Newen Afrobeat, a band from Chile. This came accidentally, incidentally. I didn't know them. The day we layed down the track, the band was in Paris. They came to see me in the evening at the place I was staying, all of them. We had fun. When I put my new music on, they started singing on the chorus! I said "Would you like to come to the studio tomorrow to record it ?" We practiced, did a workshop together that night. They are good, I was lucky they passed around ! I even played with them and Tony Allen a few days later…

'Don't Mind Them' comes from suffering. That day we were talking, and it just came to my head. I remembered all the stories I was telling, my experience. I see all the problems around me: television, politicians, my so-friends and the people I work with… They promise you that, they promise you this… everytime it's zero. That's how I came to "Don't Mind Them". I want to be myself. No matter what will happen, it'll happen. I'm kickin', movin', I don't mind them." — Oghene Kologbo, september 2016

Kologbo - Don't Mind Them

Currently on the coast of northern Peru in Hemingways 'Old man of the Sea' country. Pelicans and fishing boats. This track seems to suit the place. It's one of those criminally short tracks that fades just as you think it should be really getting going. I think the original comes in at under three minutes. It could and should have easily been ten minutes longer. I've tried to extend it a little and give it the early nineties extra bass and beats treatment. Hope Calvin won't mind. It's from his LP 'Vertical Clearance' if you want to track down the original.

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.

Beatport Exclusive - June 15th, 2010

The Calypso Gigolos - Give me more (Sibu & Joe Nagall edit)

Long time collaborator and resident DJ of the UKs longest running club funk and soul promoters, Jelly Jazz. Also exploring new style of clubbing with Rambunctious Social Club project in the southwest of Britain. Recently returned from 16 months in latin America traveling with my wife and collecting sounds as I go with a Sony PCM D50 handheld field recorder. We made a baby in Peru who was born back in England last June...a daughter! So time is short now...I'll be fitting music whenever I can. 

REQUEST FOR HELP and ADVICE:  I see Soundcloud as a fantastic learning opportunity. I'm the first to admit I'm a beginner at production. If there are any half competent producers out there that can clearly hear problems with my tunes or things that I could improve on then PLEASE do let me know. I'm not proud. It can be incredibly difficult to get good advice about sound production so I greatly appreciate constructive criticism. Bear in mind I'm mixing on headphones at the moment. Also all of my remixes are additive in that I have to take the entire original and add parts to it. I can't take anything away because I don't have access to studio track files. But any help you can give me would be appreciated.  Cheers Griff

PS I've also started the 'Nueva Andina' group and will be moderating that to help promote the artists that are experimenting with modern forms of Andean music.
