My remix of Phish' "Roggae"
Roggae was always one of my fav's from that album as it was such a laid back groove and playful,colorful lyrics. I had an amazing experience in my bedroom doing Yoga to Hampton Comes alive's version of Roggae.It was always one of my favorite live cuts from any of their live albums..So last year when i wanted to do a Phish remix it was a no brainer to do Roggae..The first few minutes of the remix is the studio version and then i splice in the Hampton 98' version.Following the band on their valleys of breath and relaxed jam i pretended i was the 5th and 6th members of the band tracing their dynamics with textures and lucid synth pastels.It is an honor to merge cultures and bring more harmony with the profound family tree of music.

After the release of Amansara, the third LP from Argentinian neo-folklore producer and one of the leaders of the new Latin electronic sound, Chancha Via Circuito returns with Amansara Remixed, featuring brand new and inventive re-imaginings of the tracks from the albums artists hand selected by Chancha from Latin America and beyond. Artists include Frikstailers, Thornato, Tremor, Maga Bo, King Coya, Psilosamples, El Búho, El Remolón Nicola Cruz, Rafael Aragon, Blocktreat, Prisma, Reptilian Commander, Barrio Lindo, Sidirum and Chancha himself, under his previous alias "Universildo".  The result of this selection is a powerful and experimental album where the unique sounds of Chancha dare to travel to new latitudes, catalyzed by the wide ranging vision of the remixers.

The album also features the special participation of Acampante, an Argentiniam multifaceted artist, who was encouraged to remix the original artwork ( Paula Duró's "Madadayo" ) in a fresh and fun way.

Marijata - I Walk Alone

Few artists can claim to have their own distinctive “musical voice”: a style of composition and production that listeners instantly recognize. For starters, it takes years of experimentation to perfect, and most people simply don’t have the patience, talent or skills to pull it off. 

Ali Kuru is one of those rare producers whose music sounds like nothing else around. The Istanbul-based artist has spent the best part of a decade honing his trademark style – a fragrant and intoxicating aural brew that combines a myriad of influences with atmospheric field recordings and snaking, mind-altering Middle Eastern instrumentation – via releases for the likes of Luxa Flex, Kalisah, Sound Architecture and, most recently, Leng. 

It’s to the latter label that the publicity-shy producer returns with his most ambitious release to date, Egzotik. 15 tracks and 70 minutes deep, it’s not so much a debut album as a statement of intent. From start to finish, it feels like a humid, sweat-soaked saunter through the winding streets of Istanbul in the company of a musician who draws more inspiration than most from his immediate surroundings. 

Those surroundings come to the fore on opener “Bazaar”, where tipsy horns and gently strummed electric guitar passages slowly rise above the sound of a harbourside market. 

They’re present, too, within the souk rhythms and cascading pianos of “Zorba The Greek”, beneath the gentle throb of “Lost Bedouin”, inside the spaced-out, stargazing pulse of “Hiyar”, and around the chiming melodies and mournful strings of hushed ambient closer “Adios”. 

Kuru’s genius lies in his ability to take familiar musical tropes and twist them into unique, Ottoman-inspired shapes. So, while “Tangerine Dream” doffs a cap to the stretched-out hypnotism of the legendary krautrock band of the same name, its reliance on backwards drum hits, locked-in grooves and psychedelic sample loops is a far more contemporary proposition. 

Some may hear the influence of Detroit beatdown in the slow and dubby house grooves of “Le Voyage De Space”, while others could describe the drowsy “Ashoka” as being Weatherall-esque. Yet none of these tracks, layered as they are with traditional Balkan, Persian and Arabic instrumentation, sound like anything other than Ali Kuru productions. 

The result is an album that surprises and enthralls in equal measure. Highlights come thick and fast, from the bubbling, dub-house psychedelia of “Mount Damavand” and haunting deep techno humidity of “Sacred Vallley”, to the Augustus Pablo-in-Ankara shuffle of “Jungle Flower” and potent hookah hit of “Return to Paradise”, where sampled voices rise above a typically tactile groove.

Red Hot + Fela - "Lady" (tUnE-yArDs, Angelique Kidjo, ?uestlove & Akua Naru)

Heavy and hypnotic grooves from worldwide regions. We have always liked to combine different genres in mixtapes and that's how we prefer to play for audiences, although we like to focus on specific directions as well. This mix is a typical example how Radio Martiko seeks for the connection in music from total different playgrounds and how we can fit it together in a playlist, whether it could be a Mauritanian griot session, a Sega love song duet or mambo orchestra wizardry for hotel lounge entertainment. Songs and melodies can be passed on and rhythms can be teached, but overall we are all beings conducted by the same force of nature. That's why we will never give up our quest for the Soulful Taurus, which could be the God of irrestistible groovy music in the imagination of the Martiko.

After introducing the world to the elusive named Gitkin last year with the release of his debut album “5 Star Motel”, Wonderwheel Recordings is back with another special 7” of two deeply funky, lo-fi globally influenced cuts from the travellin’ man himself.

“Saint Claude Dash” with it’s 70’s disco influenced drum machine undertone brings in Middle Eastern & North African vibes on the melody, while shifting into an even funkier B section reminiscent of the Meters.

Just a taste of the brand new album to come this year…or when the spirits will it.

La Cumbia De Todos Lados

Jaguatirica Print

Olhos de Tocha

El nuevo álbum del productor colombiano Jacobo Polanía a.k.a. Mente Organica marca su vuelta al estudio y a su país, luego de vivir más de un año en Europa. Grabado en ese barrio de Bogotá (Chapinero), el disco maneja energías y velocidades diferentes, pero marcadas por el uso de melodías, claves y motivos latinoamericanos, abarcando desde la cumbia a la salsa, todo ello ejecutado y gestionado a partir de elementos clara y evidentemente electrónicos. Ya desde la primera escucha se configura como un disco nocturno, ofreciendo diferentes temas y climas para diferentes noches. Como ya sucediera en su anterior álbum Ojos (Fertil Discos, 2018), Jacobo hace un particular uso de la voz, cuyo tratamiento se acerca más al pop que a las producciones típicamente electrónicas. Pequeñas frases, mantras de lo cotidiano o de episodios festivos, se repiten hasta hacerse familiares. En Cumbia Afrodisíaca la voz de Mcpto agrega una sensualidad lenta y firme a la base cumbiera. Y en el resto del disco aparecen elementos ácidos, de mínimal techno, samples de Palenque, sintetizadores de todo tipo, cajas de ritmo… la mezcla exacta de quien llega al trópico proveniente del reino del tecno, y se encierra solo en un estudio.

Disponible desde el próximo 12 de Junio de 2020

MARINERO EN CHAPINERO
Going back home feels like an after party

Mente Organica’s new album was recorded after he went back to his country and his studio, after more than one year in Europe. The title refers to the famous quarter of Chapinero, in Bogotá. Just as it happens there, the record mixes very different energies and velocities, all of them coloured by latin american melodies, keys and motives. From cumbia to salsa, everything is executed with purely electronic means. RIght from the beginning, the record brings us to a nocturnal mood, providing different climates and textures for different nights.Just as he did in his previous album Ojos (Fertil Discos, 2018), Jacobo has a very peculiar way of using voices, closer to pop music than to the usual electronic productions. Short sentences, every-day-mantras, brief episodes - they are repeated subtly but steadily until they become familiar. In Cumbia Afrodisiaca, Mcpto’s voice adds a slow and firm sensuality to the cumbia base. In addition to latin american rhythms, the record includes acid and minimal techno elements, Palenque samples, synths of all kinds, rhythm machines… the exact balance for someone arriving in a tropical country, seeking to spend some time in the studio after living two years in the land of techno.

OUT 12th JUNE

Cumbia Afrodisiaca

Entrega-te, inteiro, e te firma na força...
E que ela te torça, se for teu destino.
Aspira este pó de tabaco e outras ervas,
Que as plantas são servas do Pai, que é Divino.

Confia naquele que chega pra ti
E encosta o tepi, assoprando o rapé.
Aguenta este sopro, relaxa a carcaça:
Soldado de raça é o que fica de pé.

Entrega-te, irmão, em silêncio, na mata,
Que o nó se desata e o teu corpo flutua.
Agora, transforma-te em vivo crisol
Na força do Sol ou na força da Lua!

Medita quais são as lições do rapé,
Mantém tua fé em Deus-Pai Criador.
Entrega-te às luzes de tal pajelança
E tem confiança... redobra esse amor.

Reflete o valor tão maior desta festa
E, aqui, manifesta o valor de crescer...
Apaga este ranço de dores e mágoas,
Que a força das águas já banha o teu ser.

No surdo zumbido, narinas adentro,
Assim, me concentro, aprendendo a ser gente.
Bendito o rapé – esta flecha certeira! –
Na paz verdadeira, que é tão diferente!

Firmeza, caboclo! Firmeza no estudo,
Pois tudo o que vem para nós é pr’o bem.
Não temas a vida, nem temas a morte.
Tu sabes que forte, igual Deus, mais ninguém!

* tepi = aplicador (de rapé)

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Surrender yourself, whole, and hold on to strength ...
And may it twist you, if it is your destiny.
Sniff this tobacco powder and other herbs,
That plants are servants of the Father, who is Divine.

Trust the one who comes to you
And touch the tepi, blowing the snuff.
Take this breath, relax the carcass:
Brave soldier is the one who stands on his feet.

Give yourself, brother, in silence, in the forest,
Let the knot untie and your body float.
Now, become a living melting pot
In the strength of the Sun or in the strength of the Moon!

Meditate on the snuff lessons,
Keep your faith in the Creator God-Father.
Surrender to the lights of such a shaman
And have confidence ... redouble that love.

Reflects the much greater value of this party
And here, it manifests the value of growing ...
Erase this rancidity of pain and hurt,
May the force of the waters already bathe your being.

In the deaf buzz, nostrils in,
So I focus, learning to be a person.
Blessed the snuff - this accurate arrow! -
In true peace, it is so different!

Firmness, caboclo! Firmness in the study,
For everything that comes to us is for good.
Do not fear life, nor fear death.
You know how strong, like God, no one else!

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

Gitkin’s music exists somewhere between primal, rootsy memory and distant exotic yearning — A dusty bordertown where the familiar blends imperceptibly into the enchantingly foreign. 

After a long and fruitful run as a bandleader with relentlessly touring party-rockers Pimps Of Joytime and a Grammy-nominated country blues collaboration with Cedric Burnside, multi-instrumentalist Brian J set out to “explore tonalities I’d never messed with,” as he puts it. It was a release from “having to write lyrics or involve my voice,” he notes, and so the (mostly) instrumental sound of Gitkin came into being. 

Reviews of Gitkin’s first LP grappled with descriptors, tagging it vaguely as “cinematic” and comparing it favorably with Khruangbin. True, the music is largely wordless, emotionally evocative, and guitar driven. But it possesses an alluring alchemy all its own. 

Gitkin’s first release, 2018’s well-received Five Star Motel, amply demonstrated his ease with earthy funk and comfortably-cut rhythm. On his new full-length release Safe Passage, the itinerant guitar slinger broadens his already rich palette with melodies informed by Greek and Middle Eastern modalities, Peruvian Chicha and Tuareg Saharan guitar styles. No gimmick, this juxtaposition of gut-bucket blues and funk low-end with unexpectedly twisting lead phrases highlights the intense flavors found in each savory ingredient. 

Recorded at his home studio in New Orleans, Safe Passage showcases a new batch of immediately engaging, repeatedly satisfying cuts, ranging from surf exotica (“Cat Nip”) to raunchy roadhouse stompers (“Fools Gold” and “The Drive”) to dreamy vocal cuts “Foot Steps” and “Hold On” to the floating finale of “Safe Passage.” 

Gitkin’s production radiates character and warmth, leaning on soft-focus vintage mics, dubby spring reverbs and the quirks of an analog tape machine. Further enhancing the intimate vibe are distinguished guests like Carol C (of Si*Sé), who lends her striking voice to three tracks, including the strutting single “De La,” veteran Chauncey Yearwood (congas) and New Orleans local Clifton “Spug” Smith, who provides a sousaphone low-end on the cumbia-not-cumbia “Spug Life.” 

Safe Passage will be released by Wonderwheel on September 18th, 2020 and will be available on vinyl, CD and digitally.
