Sofrito

Der Winter naht. Es wird zu früh dunkel auf den Strassen. Die Kälte kriecht bis unter die Haut und lässt die Körper erstarren. Es bedarf vorbeugender Maßnahmen. 

12 Tracks die sich mit aller Kraft dagegenstemmen, gegen Licht raubenden Hochnebel, gegen peitschenden und eiskalten Nordostwind, gegen Temperaturen unter der Null Grad Grenze. Dass am Ende der Winter siegen wird, ist gewiss, so wie jedes Jahr. Die 12 Tracks bleiben dennoch, spenden Sonne, Wärme und die Lust auf kühles Bier statt Glühwein. 

Alle Tracks des Sets stammen direkt von Künstlern auf Soundcloud.

A revolution has been underway for a long time, it is time for the Vikings to take on South America for real. Copia Doble Systema is one of the leading forces in Viking cumbia and are finally ready with their second EP on UrbanWorld. Copia Doble Systema have been working most of the winter on perfecting their live act and are quite capable of taking on a festival near you this summer.
On their second EP Copia Doble Systema included three great cumbia tracks, One Day, Revolution is inspired by dub-step and downbeat electronica and gets reworked by the amazing Schlachthofbronx into a more dub than step dancefloor wobble.

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.

deBonton est un label indépendant parisien qui se bat dure pour trouver la plus naïve et la plus passionnante pop électronique moderne. Il creuse dans une scène éclectique et internationale pour offrir une compilation annuelle rassemblant des titres inédits d'artistes qui ont juré d'humaniser la musique de machine. Les éditions précédentes ont vu émerger des artistes tels que Logo (Kitsuné), Sydney Valette (élu album de l'année 2011 par Technikart) et Yan Wagner (Kitsuné, Blackstrobe Records et moitié de Flying Turns). Ceci n'est autre que la troisième itération de la série deBonton Grab Bag.

Les petits Frenchies de Caandides ouvrent le bal avec « Before the Art », un exubérant hommage électro-folk à l'inconscient humain et son protozoaire de la créativité. S'ensuivent les Canadiens de Chevalier Avant Garde qui offrent « Over The Fountain ». Après des apparitions à SXSW et Pop Montréal, leur mélancolie cristalline se destinait naturellement à une orbite plus élevée. L'heure est venue d'entamer une quête spirituellement robotique nommée « Stratospheric Treasure Quest » guidée par le jeune producteur parisien Polocorp. Au revoir la terre ! Plus loin, la batterie survoltée de « We Are Enfant Terrible » rencontre la voix langoureuse de Louis Aguilar and the crocodiles tears dans une improbable collaboration nommée Weekend Affair. Résultat : le délicieux sucré-salé « Boxing Queen ». Avec « The Fool », titre chouchou de Jarvis Cocker (chanteur de Pulp), Real Fur balance un gimmick tristement estival et nous fige d'une voix arrache-cœur. Ensuite, un des trois membres de Paris (avec Nicolas Ker de Poni Hoax), Mike Theis pose sur la table « 101 problems », une mixture inter-planétaire aux appréhensions célestes. Il est maintenant l'heure d'un « Goodnight » des baltimoriens de Royal Native : magnifique et luxuriante pièce qui semblerait puiser ses songes du fin fond de l'océan. De la brume épaisse retentit un cor de chasse. L'heure de clôture approche. Les deux Suédois bipolaires de Gidge nous invitent pour un dernier tour de manège épique nommé « Bring Your Horses ». Selon eux : « Nous sommes le silence assourdissant de la neige. Nous sommes le calme et la tempête. » Amour et violence.
 
Le jeune label pionnier deBonton poursuit son ascension et prouve une fois de plus que la scène électro-pop offre profusion de bijoux - à ceux qui savent où chercher.

Inspired by a beautiful trip to Brazil, I did a re-edit of this Macumba style gem by Trio Ternura. Thanks to Tropicalia discos in Rio for providing me with this great record. (Unmastered version)


Trio Ternura - A Gira (Mr Mendel edit)

As a special treat Soundway here serve up three courses of Panamanian calypso-funk and Caribbean soul from down on the Isthmus. The 1960s and 70s were fertile times for Panamanian music as Soundway’s three volumes of the much loved Panama! series of compilations has proved. Being the bridge between North and South America, Panama became a melting pot of musical influences, with local bands playing to entertain not only Panamanians, but also the hordes of sailors that passed through the canal from all over the world. Consequently, the Combos Nacionales (as the family of local bands became known) stuffed as many styles as possible into their repertoires from cumbia to salsa, reggae, calypso and funk.

On the A-side Fredrick Clarke’s alter-ego Chombo turns his attention to a belting calypso-soul-funk cut with ‘Soul Chombo’ from his extremely scarce 1972 LP Chombo’s Show. On the B-side we stray more into Northern Soul style territory with another 2 very-hard-to-find cuts originally released only as 45s in Panama at the time. Ralph Weeks is another artist who featured with Fredrick Clarke on Panama! Volume 3 and is perhaps best known for singing with the famous Exciters combo. With his soul cut We’re Still Strong you’d be forgiven for thinking he was based in Miami, New York or Chicago rather than Panama City. Lastly the enigmatic and unknown artist Jungle Rat USA gives us a great piece of Latin tinged dancefloor soul with Just Love One Another, recorded at top Panamanian producer Eduardo ‘Balito’ Chan’s studio in the early 70s.

New York City Born and New Jersey City based Chico Mann (aka Marcos Garcia), a multi instrumentalist and guitarist with the afrobeat orchestra Antibalas  is to release his solo ‘Manifest Tone EP’ through Soundway Records on 12th November. 

The EP represents four of the choicest cuts from Chico Mann’s ‘Manifest Tone’ Volumes 2&3 that until now were only available digitally. It signals the end of one phase and the start of a new chapter in Chico Mann’s career with a brand new album signed to Soundway Records for release in early 2013. 

The Manifest Tone journey began in 2004. During breaks from touring with Antibalas Marcos began crafting a more personal sound in his basement studio. A hybrid beast of culture and tone where Fela Kuti and Willie Colon meet Stevie B, Lisa Lisa, Afrika Bambaata and Kraftwerk, it lives in a landscape shaped by Africa, Cuba, New York and Miami.

These unique experimentations led to the release of ‘Manifest Tone Volume 1’ in 2006 and eventually morphed into Volumes 2 & 3 that were finished in 2008 and 2010 respectively. What sounds on paper like a meeting of styles past in reality emerges sounding incredibly fresh and original.

Over the three volumes Chico Mann’s own unique style has emerged and evolved (something he has dubbed 'Afro-Freestyle') and in 2010 he released the critically acclaimed 'Analogue Drift' album for Wax Poetics records. 

All of this paves the way for the arrival of his most accomplished and polished sound yet that will touch down in early 2013.

Chico Mann will also add to his list of remixes for the likes of Little Dragon and Hess is More by remixing Soundway's London based Ghanaian afro band Konkoma in December 2012.

"For what we’ve noticed, they like to create some sort of anxiety to the listener, building consistent and long pieces enriched with small appointments reaching several moments of “sadness” and excitement. Absolutely brilliant."

Azul Fluca (le bateau bleu) est un morceau conçu par Andrey Zouari et Paul Armand-Delille

Vocal : Andrey Zouari, Simo Baala, Emna Jaziri
Guitare, Flute, Clavier, Caracavas : Paul Armand-Delille
Djembe, Guimbarde : Henri-Hubert de Corbiac 

_________________________________________________

ROUDANI 434» est l’un des projets réalisés au cours de la résidence. Conçu par Paul Armand- Delille en collaboration avec des musiciens de la vallée du Souss et de la région du Haut Atlas. Les enregistrements ont ensuite été mixés à la SIRA, ancienne imprimerie à Asnières sur Seine et quartier général de MAD Agency.

La pochette a été réalisée par l’artiste Thomas Mailaender à partir d’anciennes photographies africaines. Elle résulte d’un travail de colorisation à l’aquarelle.

￼Dans cet EP, Paul Armand-Delille nous offre un instantané musical de Taroudant, ville-carrefour des cultures l’Atlas marocain. On y retrouve les sonorités gnawa : la basse guembri et le son métallique des caracavas avec Abdallah Roudani et son groupe, les chants de Moncif Bouboul. On découvre également la voix puissante du poète Simo Baala, et le chant inspiré d’Andrey Zouari qui côtoie le Violon berbère, la flute en roseau, ou l’Oud. Paul y pose à son tour, des solos de guitare flamenco, ainsi qu’une production léchée mêlant synthétiseurs analogiques et touches subtiles électroniques.

L’EP « ROUDANI 434 » est l’aboutissement d’un travail d’échange culturel et créatif. Il regroupe cinq titres fleuves où les musiciens s’expriment à tour de rôle, par des solos ou par des textes en arabe, anglais ou français, dans un cercle musical où chacun prend tout à tour la parole comme le veut la tradition gnawa.

La concrétisation du projet s’est traduite par une performance réunissant chants traditionnels, instruments divers et séquences électroniques ; pour le plaisir d’un public roudanais peu habitué à voir sa culture locale revisitée.

Après avoir été diffusé sur des bornes d’écoute pendant les expos du ‘434’, l’EP «ROUDANI 434» arrive sur les plateformes numériques le 21 juin 2013.

(1997) This is a demo version of the song Timido I have on cassette. This along with other recordings in this session were songs that would later be on our first Ozomatli album. Timido was my favorite and didn't get released until the second album. Here is the original which includes Jose "Crunchy" Espinosa who  with the others did an outstanding arrangement of this song.
This ones for you Crunchy. R.I.P.
