Travelling Denim!


A short film of a girl wearing denim traveled over 50 countries in two years. The denim walks freely in the world, meets people, changes and fades.....Awesome!

Pleaze mugwanti

Well just couldn't resist this after indulging in the traditional japanese Bon Odori festivities last week and taking in the rhythms of the TAIKO drums. Lifted from the kwaito house LP 'Ayobaness-The Sound of South African House', showcasing the South African production styles of Pastor Mbhobho, Aero Manyelo, DJ Steavy and on this tune by DJ Mujava. Out Here Records put the best 4 tracks on an EP, with this infectious brukbeat roller 'Mugwanti/Sgwejegweje' the stand out cut that found it's way into many global dj set's, the most notable being Kode9's mix for DJ-Kicks. Loving it up large... Killer!

Man Of Experience And Wisdom

Staying with some afrocentric electronica on Richard Sen's mixed blood cuts label, that dropped back in April. We're checking the talented Brazilian composer, arranger, multi-instrumentist, Pedro Zopelar's edit of Mulatu Astatke's 'Yekermo Sew'. Lifted from the french world music label Buda Musique's compilation 'Ethiopiques, Vol. 4', sure many of you have seen the Jim Jarmusch film 'broken flowers' you'll recognise this...Zopelar constructs an infectious percussive house groove without spoiling the essence of the original piece...one for naturalizum...summer sweetness!

Diver


Dropping last month on the projectsquared label, L-OW (aka Margus Löve) is an Estonian producer who has been building quite a reputation for the last few years with a string of excellent releases on various labels as Z-Audio, Dub:iouz and On The Edge. Here it`s the remix on the flip side from Bristol based Furesshu that makes my feathers all rustled..A simmering, industrial, slightly scary dub-techno ride thru the heavy sub bass driven riddim..Smooth!.

Dynamo

Is from respected spanish producer Pablo Bolivar dropping a limited edition 5 track vinyl EP on Galaktika Records. Loving this right now, i'm particularly feeling the 'Wood City' track where Bolivar takes his rhythm on a journey of deep sonic feelings with smooth vocals and heavy baselines. But here we delve into the first remix from one of the main men in the Bpitch Control family. Here Kiki goes for a classic remix that keeps the groove flowing throughout the entire 7 minutes, where he serves up delicious dubby synths as a main dish, while adding some rice percussions to it and delivering us an incredible funky Tech House tune for the summer. Get it!
