Premiere: Contacto - Nacimiento

This month's transmission of Virology features Asian Dub Foundation founder and bassist Dr. Das aka Dhangsha.

Under this new moniker he makes rhythmic noise with a grounding in dub, and frequently collaborates with London's Sound-space label. 

The first hour is a mix of his own productions, followed by an interview discussing decolonisation, mentoring, political music and new music tech.

finally uploading this for the Soundcloud dwellers...

We are kick starting our mix series again!

Following a bit of a break brought about by our now regular show on Netil Radio, we are honoured and very excited to have a recording from Dhangsha, aka Dr Das of Asian Dub Foundation. We have decided to aim our mix series at more particular sounds, with less of a focus on DJs and more on exploring the sounds and influences of producers and bands. Dhangsha has put together an awesome mix, or rather a soundtrack, entitled ‘Refugee Backpacker / Dream Holiday’. HUGE thanks to Dhangsha for this bone rattling journey.

“Refugee Backpacker / Dream Holiday” is an imaginary score assembled by Dhangsha and inspired by Philip K Dick’s “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale,” made famous by the film “Total Recall” starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. The new interpretation of the story would be made from an anti-colonial perspective with a view to compelling the audience to challenge their prejudices regarding various global relations when confronted with the economic realities underpinning them.

Text from Dhangsha: "Aniruddha Das, better known as “Dr Das,” bassist and co- founder of Asian Dub Foundation has always been interested in all forms of ‘experimental’ sound. Over the last 30 years he has explored ‘noise’ within the context of ‘dub.’ With his current projects he is, to different degrees, dismantling and disintegrating the rhythmic framework to expose the beauty of noise in its own right. As such, he is attempting to demonstrate the proximity of ‘noise’ to the dance floor.

For this session, not only has he drawn upon his work with Dhangsha (Bengali for ‘destruction’) and DSPSSSSD (‘dispossessed’), but he’s presented tracks from various artists who’ve inspired him and who share some of the same sonic rationale, if not sometimes political - namely, people like Bantu, Simon Grab, Sankara Future Dub Resurgence, Hallucinator and Evicshen."

DHANGSHA 3WD MIX

3WD MIX 04 - DHANGSHA

The quartet from France are a steady fixture in the world of modern digging. Colin, Guillaume, Romain and Xavier originally met in Marseille but are now all based in Paris where they very successfully continue their hunt for the unknown (seldom above the 110 BPM mark). 

The now-Parisian taste-makers do not only have one of the most excellently curated Youtube Channels out there, they recently also proved that they are very capable Editors themselves on the most recent (and excellently curated) Orange Tree Edits (Vol. 8). 

For 5918mins., they provide nothing short of a masterclass of modern digging - which left us astonished and (dare we say it) even a bit envious given the sheer endless amount of unknown treasures comprised in this mix. So without further ado, let's dive right into 111 mins. of pure digging pleasure.

Staring at the Wall w/ Jurango & Dhangsha

Sickest Kenyan drill/genge/rap crud from DJ Iche, racking up her first international release with Hakuna Kulala.

Unflinchingly upfront and echoing the viral US/UK sound, but mostly rapped in Bantu Swahili, ’Nai Yetu’ is an unmissable introduction, where needed, to the world of Kenyan urban music. It stars a stellar roll call of Mombassa’s hottest drill rappers; Natty, Buruklyn Boyz, Dyana Cods, Jovie Jovv, Da Vaji, Tulia, Wakandinali, Mbogi Genje -  as well as select cuts of the more dancefloor-primed Gengetone sound from the likes of Mbogi Genje / SWAT/ Kenya Sihami/ Oksyde, and contemporary Kenyan “urban”, such as Nah Eeto  / Monski/ Oksyde ft. Ares66 - BAZUU/ Mastar VK, for 74 minutes of properly crucial listening.

At the helm is DJ Iche, a central player in Mombassa, whose production and singing is heard across her mix, bridging the related but distinctive styles, and toggling the pressure in a way that mirrors the road-level heat and molten flows that links southside Chicago to London’s north/south sounds and Brooklyn right now. Like the Ghanaian drill styles showcased by the likes of Shannen SP in the UK, DJ Iche’s take on the genre portrays the young Kenyan sound at its most rugged, replete with icy minor key motifs and transfixing glyding basses, but also leaning into killlller bits juggling jungle and drill and its Gengetone parallels unique to Kenya.

Hodge's exclusive mix for RDC "Sound Horizon" podcast:

"This mix is an hour of music I’m into right now, stuff that I’ve been loving hearing loud on systems at parties, my taste feels like it’s ever changing and evolving and I guess that’s what makes music so exciting, there’s never a final form. Hope you enjoy the mix as much as I did playing the tracks and I can’t wait to get to Japan and RDC later this year!"
 
"このミックスは僕が最近ハマっている音楽、現場で大音量で聴くのが大好きな音楽を集めた1時間です。僕のテイストは常に変化し進化していて、それこそが音楽をとてもエキサイティングなものにしていると思う、最終形なんてないんだ。このミックスを僕がプレイしている時と同じくらい楽しんでもらえたら嬉しいし、日本とRDCに行けるのが待ちきれないよ！"

داخل السور ملان زقاق بتفوت من هون تطلع من غاض 
عنا بل القدس  مرفوض عرصات لوحات  في كمين زت الاغراض الجيش بل الحرم بضرب مطاط شديت تيك  ضربت تنين زباط ع الارض تدعيس وفدي اصفاد 
من ضرب فوق راسي نسيت شو صار 
فتت حكيروت مطلعتش  صوت 
بتعترف بتموت اعلنها سكووت 
باب العمود في شباب اااسوود 
انزل ع الواد بتشوف ولاد 
جدعان بزاف
اضرب ما تخاف مستعرب فات 
اشارة بذان ملان  نذال
زي بعض بلدان  نعف هلسات
تبعش انساك 
باعو البلاد  ب لتر بلاك  
هناك في عميل طخو بقفا
ابلع للسان تامنش لنسان بتحكي بتنتاك 
شلف من هان باب حطة امان هزيناا كيان 
خال هاض بيان وعتبرو تراك   حيفا  الصمود 
احرق كوشوك  اوعى يشدوك تخاف يسقطوك 
بتنزل عصفير وغرف ٢٠اسرار تحكيش
انتبه يكبر 
توقع بل البير عدينا المر مفضلش كثير ×2


وداخل السور  ملان زقاق بتفوت من هون تطلع من غاد
عنا بل القدس  مرفوض عرصات لوحات  في كمين زت الاغراض الجيش بل الحرم بضرب مطاط شديت تيك  ضربت تنين زباط ع الارض تدعيس وفدي اصفاد 
من ضرب فوق راسي نسيت شو صار 
انا نجم سهيل انا كحل ليل
انا  سد لسيل انا اغمق بير 
انا اسوء جيل  واجهت الويل 
انا حد السيف اضرب ما بزيح 
  فوجه الريح  اط اصلي منييع 
مخزن سريع  بضرب ما بخيب خود درس جديد
لتعيش استاز ركز بجاي  دقيقة بلقط  الانفاس 
تنساش رفاق  ولكن  احطيات  سمموي كثار 
عشان  ليرات باعو الصاحب  وك فقعو وطار 
رصاص بصاق انا شفت الصار شباب صغار 
راحت بدينار قوم دق مسمار سمو الختيار
رمو الحطات وشروو شحطات بلطات بجطات 


LITER BLACK | لتر بلاك

diy music, art and food festival happening for the 5th time sometime soon.

sound~space emanates from a world seemingly on the edge of collapse, where empathy is all but extinct, language has failed, interaction reduced to ‘diss’ and ‘cuss.’ Using discarded frequencies, a sonic resistance creates militant meditations designed for spirit renewal, punctuated with pulses to facilitate bodily propulsion. Tonal analysis reveals tools required for struggle, both internal and external. 
Though you sometimes walk like living ghosts, mourning the future, know that beauty exists in places you wouldn’t dare to look
