"Say hello to Taraval, the new signing on Kieran Hebden's Text label, with their debut EP of mutant, misshapen house and techno trax. There's four cannily skewed but heavily functional groovers, sustaining a smart dancefloor intensity from the pacy Detroit techno momentum of 'Gar's Highway' thru the blown-out, Trilogy Tapes-style warped house of 'Gonna Rain' to a killer acid jacker strongly reminding of Oliverwho Factory's heady aces in 'Streetways', and stripped down Wax/EQ'd styles on 'Doug's Prayer'."

Home Tonight (Obey City Remix)

In the middle of 2014, with all roads leading to Brazil, DJ, tastemaker and cultural curator Gilles Peterson embarked on the project of a lifetime, his most ambitious to date: setting up camp in a recording studio in Rio to record a sort of love letter to the nation under the artist name “Sonzeira” (meaning a joyful / killer sound). The resulting album “Brasil Bam Bam Bam” was a deeply personal work, bringing together the many authentic sounds and traditions but always through the eyes of an enthusiast inspired by 30 years of DJIng and record collecting. As Gilles said at the time: ‘Brazil’s music culture is massive..There’s the North – Bahia, Recife, the afro-brazilian sound. There’s batucada, the heavy sambas. Then bossa nova - Tom Jobim and all that history. There’s baile funk. There’s Tropicalia and the more soulful, funky scene championed by groups like Banda Black Rio, Trio Mocoto and icons like Gilberto Gil. Such a huge amount of stuff to fit in. I wanted to try and cover it all – to make a kind of Buena Vista meets club culture, but to keep it sonically very modern.’ The album included star turns from Brazilian superstars young and old, including ‘City of God’ actor and singer Seu Jorge, the grande dame of samba, 76-year-old powerhouse Elza Soares, and world-renowned percussionist Nana Vasconcelos. Of course, this was a Gilles Peterson record and so there was also many left turns -  who else would come up with Emanuelle Araujo’s bossa nova take on the 80s UK jazz-funk hit Southern Freeez, or draft in Seun Kuti (youngest son of Fela) to join the dots between modern day Brazil and the slave ships that bought poly-rhythms from Africa 400 years ago.

Of course, with roots so deep in the interesting edges of club culture it was natural for Gilles to continue this journey into new sonic territories. As such he has spent the last 6 months curating this new album “Brasil Bam Bam Bass” drafting in some of his favourite producers, friends, and associates to reimagine tracks from the album, with all the taste and good judgement you would expect. Much like the original record this is a very personal curation, a considered work that saw Gilles hand pick producers to re-imagine the album track by track - these include At Jazz, FaltyDL, DJ Oil, Kyodai, Max Graef and many more. Also included on this double CD are some wonderful outtakes (including the sublime reworking of Yusef lateef’s Plum Blossom previously only on the vinyl box set of the album), and dubbed out alternative versions of several tracks by Gilles’ Sonzeira co-producer Dillip Harris.          

If the original record was about examining Gilles own history and love for every quarter of Brasil’s sound, this provides a further glimpse into Gilles’ creative mind, ever serching for connections between rhythms; exciting, imaginative and original productions. Most of all this is a record where respect for the source material continues to shine through. 

Que sonzeira! 

Gilles Peterson presents Sonzeira Brasil Bam Bam Bass - The Out Takes and Remakes: Curated with Love will be released on double CD on Brownswood Recordings on the 9th February.

For Viscera 137, DJ Mist is welcomed to the series!

"The boundary pushing force behind Lapse Records and Headroom Festival, Mist presents a wide-eyed vision for the dance from Bristol to Berlin by bridging a love of house, electro and techno past and present into more eclectic UK club styles.

Hybrid electronics, 2step leaning minimal and astral wigglers intersect under Mist & longstanding involvement in the scene with precise and technical dexterity behind the decks. Liquefying 30+ years of dance music into timeless voyages make evident the decade of immersion in clubbing as a music nerd and mainstay DJ under previous monikers. With bookings at a collection of UK and EU clubs, festivals such as Love International, Magnetic Fields and Gottwood, and a deep archive of appearances on Rinse FM, Ransom Note, HOR Radio, Sub Club++

Founded in 2021, Lapse Records serves as an extension of Mist&#39;s moods and grooves, using the label to platform artists exploring vital iterations of their sound. So far this includes Len Lewis, Sasha Zlykh + Troy &amp; Trippsy, Adam Curtain, Los Primos (Cosmic JD & Aaron Santos) and DJ Gonzo &amp; Dr Yes (Patrick Klein & Michael Melchner)

With their own productions in the pipeline and exciting shows on the horizon, the future feels exciting for this passionate selector."

Kick back and enjoy!

Total Techno Kayō mix

The face of a moon is a glorious thing. It keeps the sky shining bright in the darkest of nights, even if it is essentially loaning the light from the sun without having any intention of ever paying it back. If the sun had any sense, he'd give Wonga (other loan sharks are available) a call and get them to send the boys round to the moon's flat in Streatham to order him to cough up unless he wants a few extra craters all over his face.

But these aural treats aren't anywhere near as violent as the fictional baliffs in this peculiar scenario which highlights the fact that sugar should be banned from R$N Towers. @Sigward bobs and weaves his way through the ever-growing aural maze to make sure that his sounds hit the very centre of your ear and explode into life. Now, if you'll excuse us, we're off to go give Mr Moon fair warning that he might want to stay at his sister's this weekend.

Enjoy this corker in the meantime.
