Question - Osanha

As a follow-up to 2009's "Rádio Do Canibal", I sent one of my favorite songs from the album to several of my friends and heroes.I asked them to use their imaginations and take the song somewhere entirely new.The result is five great new tracks featuring a legendary percussionist from São Paulo, one of my favorite MC's ever, a Brazilian record guru, a West Coast beat manipulator, an incredibly talented and prolific composer from Rio de Janeiro, one of my city's best DJ's, and a childhood friend who inspired me to start collecting records...all together on one 12".Here's a few of my favorite moments.

As summer fades and the days get shorter, Souleance have been hard at work in the kitchen cooking up their new EP ‘Tartare’. The French production duo of Fulgeance (Ed Banger / Musique Large) and Soulist (What The Funk? / The P Show) have delivered another EP of surefire party starters, taking the sample-heavy template of previous releases, and adding a deeper disco-house edge to stunning effect.
The 8-track EP opens with ‘Hustle’ - a clear statement of intent from Souleance - the shuffling synth-heavy percussion signposting the slight shift in direction, but with it’s sights aimed firmly at the dance floor. The track also features regular video collaborator Emile Sacre on keys and vocoder, this time in his music production guise as VECT. Many of you will be familiar with ‘Secoue’ (released earlier this summer as a digital only single). The Kompa-influenced track has become a DJ's favourite over the festival season and is now finally available on vinyl. Elsewhere ‘Ratatouille’ starts in more conventional Souleance territory with an infectious horn-led break, before developing into a Giorgio Moroder-inspired disco stomper. Also of note is the elastic bassline- fuelled ‘I Got It’, which displays a lightness of touch and subtlety rarely seen in dance music. This more mature sound, fused with the DJ-friendly identity of earlier releases shows the progression the duo have made since their debut back in 2009.
The artwork that has been a feature of Souleance’s releases is present again, with Alice Dufay providing stunning illustration in her idiosyncratic style. The EP also features two remixes - Debruit remixes the title track, blending the Souleance sound and putting his unique stamp on it - in his own words ‘an imaginary place where ancient West Africa cohabits with 80’s New York’. Finally Dutch newcomer Uffe takes on ‘New York’, retwisting the keys to create an MPC-style house groove - the perfect conclusion to Souleance’s best EP yet.

More about DJ Wasabi
Wasabi is a mastermind of maneuvering in the subtly of sound. This DJ/Producer hails from Santa Marta, Colombia and New Jersey now resides in Miami, has had his hands on the turntables since adolescence. He not only had the innate understanding of the actual skill of djing, but also the uncanny ability to excite a crowd of any size. Wasabi realized music has been part of his family for generations, as it runs deep in his blood and his heritage. Music became a major influence in his life, and opened his appetite to develop his own style in mixing and blending music, which led him in another direction of sound.

Wasabi birthed his first track called “Flauta y Fuego” (Flute and Fire), a passionate expression of roots of Colombia, with an original set by Master Flutist Mr. Oscar Romero with sampled vocals by the legendary Toto La Momposina. In sharing this single track with the Grammy Award winner Louie Vega, in his full support, led to his first original single track being added to the Vega Records Catalog www.vegarecords.net.

Recent Remixes include Drake’s One Dance and Alicia Keys’ In Common; with many original diverse genre produced tracks such as “Caderona” which is being introduced overseas in Spain, Italy, and Greece.

Wasabi Fania Selections Mixtapes - Vol .04

12" Vinyl released 16 March 2018.

Soundway Records presents the debut EP from The Mauskovic Dance Band – a heady, tropical blend of cumbia, Afro-Caribbean rhythms and space disco, culminating in a vibrant hypnotic groove destined for bustling dancefloors.

With each band member of varying heritage, the group draws inspiration from diverse genres: primarily Afro-Colombian styles such as champeta, palenque, cumbia and the picó soundsystem culture, as well as the Afro-Disco and No-Wave scenes in their current base of Amsterdam. The city’s hotbed of underground producers has also brought an electronic edge to the band, with vintage drum machines and synthesisers effortlessly melding with Afro-Latin rhythms and slick guitar riffs to create a contemporary sound rich with cultural influence.

É Tudo (Petit Piment Edit)

Picture this: 11 musicians, dancers and dj join forces in 2014. Drawn together by their passion for and hypnotized with the infectious grooves of Salsa, Boogaloo, Afro, in short, the Latin fervor that runs in the veins of those who live with a positive flow in their body and minds. 11 funkateers that go by the name of Banderas. Waving their caliente strut. From Tokyo, Japan.

Matasuna Records is proud to continue its groove-ridden journey with its latest release, served on a must-have 7 platter with two incredible tracks from the Cuban fueled Japanese power combo Banderas led by Kazuma Koseki on piano and former Orquestra de la Luz member Dategen on congas, Naohito 'Temjin 'Yomoda from famed Mountain Mocha Kilimanjaro on wild, loud and fabulous trumpet and Izpon, known for his leading work in Kingdom Afrorocks and collaborations with Tony Allen.

Tema de Banderas is a stomping high speed and incredibly tight Latin barrage of salsa at its spicier! Crisp horn section, relentless percussion and impossible to stay still while listening to it, this is a sure shot tune for every dance floor, anytime, anywhere.

The flipside Banderas Mambo begins by letting you know that another high speed groove chase is ensuing, in a crescendo that immediately grabs you by the hips. A track filled with mouth-watering breaks for the dj and dancer alike, be prepared to be hit by the ritmo. The Banderas rhythm. Universal, proud and scorching hot, a release not to be missed or you just might miss this dance.

Brazilian Soul (feat. Sofi Tukker)

Brazilian Soul (feat. Sofi Tukker) [Acoustic Bossa Version]

Ikebe Shakedown, the self-titled album from the Brooklyn-based band, plays with elements of cinematic soul, Afro-funk, deep disco, and boogaloo in all the right ways.  After spending a few years together the group, named after a favorite Nigerian boogie record (and pronounced “ee-KAY-bay”), delivers a driving set of tunes featuring a mighty horn section anchored by tight, deep-pocketed grooves.

“Right now in cities across the globe, there are plenty of great Afrobeat revivalist bands aping the sound and groove of Fela Kuti’s legendary sound.  Yet, surprisingly few of the new groups have strayed from an orthodox interpretation of the genre or done much real innovation…Ikebe Shakedown is here to change that.  The band takes signature Afrobeat elements—big unison horns, slinky bass lines, tight little guitar licks—and blends them with tasty grooves culled from ’70s-style horn-driven funk”. – Marlon Bishop, WNYC

The Ikebe debut for Ubiquity Records sees the band push their globally-informed sound and eclectic approach to tune-writing into new territory. “Self-titling the album is a way to introduce the audience to the many facets of the band — to provide a more complete understanding of what we do,” bassist Vince Chiarito says.  “Our sound has grown to incorporate our influences without overtly representing any one in particular.  It just sounds like us,” he adds.

Most of the rhythm section met at Bard College, and the band rounded-out and officially formed when everyone settled in Brooklyn in 2008.  From there, Ikebe has emerged as a compelling voice on the progressive local scene.  After a run of dates around NYC, the band recorded their debut 7” single and the EP, Hard Steppin’, which was released on Colemine Records in 2009,receiving high praise from critics and fans alike.  The group was invited to record at Dunham Studios with producer Tom Brenneck and at Killion Sound in Los Angeles, home of engineer Sergio Rios of fellow Ubiquity act, Orgone.  “The studios share a lot of similarities — the tracks were all cut live to tape with minimal use of headphones and overdubs.  This basic approach allowed us to dig in and really focus on getting dynamic performances,” Chiarito explains.

The old school mentality to recording spills over in lush, laid-back, and soulful funk joints like “Kumasi Walk” and “No Name Bar,” where the multi-layered horn section plays off a cavernous backing track of slick drumming, spacey Hammond organ, and nimble guitar riffing.  The cinematic soul sound is warm and deep, with the 7-piece band sounding more like a larger ensemble as increasing layers leap from the tape.  At the other end of the BPM counter, on “Tunjunga,” the band build a gritty African disco jam boasting a floor-filling percussion section, adding seductive guitar licks and an irresistible bass-line to set the horns ablaze. “Tame The Beats” is pure fire — bold melodies and heavy rhythms propel the song, with Meters-esque breakdowns providing only brief respite from the action.
