Almost 2 hours long in length and some good shit on it, an interesting exploration and if you’re into this kinda thing, you ought to be familiar with a lot of the artists.

Islamtronic – DJ No Breakfast

It’s been a while I’ve posted here, but always happy to return and write about good sounds and other creative spheres.
Maga Bo has started a new kickstarter project, together with VJ M from the Rebel Up! crew. The goal of the project is fund the making of a live video engine for the performance of Maga Bo and two music video’s for the songs ‘Galope’ and ‘Xororô’ from his latest album ‘Quilombo do Futuro’. Here’s what they got to say about it:

For the music video’s, we will seek out and contrast stark contrasts in the city Rio de Janeiro to reflect our age’s wider condition of the unequal distribution of wealth. This is especially visible in the favelas, shanty-towns consisting of improvised dwellings, known in the West mainly through connotations of poverty and social problems.
Rio’s favelas, however, are also vibrant centers of creativity – many of Brazil’s most legendary samba schools originated in the favelas, as did today’s baile funk style. We want to capture the diversity and contrasts of life in Rio in an investigative manner, portraying both the hopes and dilemmas of contemporary life in the city.

Besides the music video’s, VJ M will be laying the foundation for a Max/MSP live video engine to be integrated with Maga Bo’s Ableton Live audio set. By layering audio and video tracks, Maga Bo’s live improvisations will extend to the visual realm, allowing an instantaneous integration of video material generated during Maga Bo’s travels around the globe.

Here’s a video about the making of Maga Bo’s album ‘Quilombo do Futuro’

Get all the info on their kickstarter project page. Support your global artists and donate whatever you can. All small bits together make it possible for big things to happen! :)

Thank you all in advance, here’s a free download of a fine song from ‘Quilombo do Futuro’.

Also check out El Guero Unico’s june blog post about Maga Bo’s ‘Quilombo Futuro Remixed’ album, another cracking work by all the artists involved.

Coming in a bit late on this one but coming nonetheless. There was a massive remix release of Maga Bo’s ‘Quilombo Do Futuro ‘ this past month featuring many well known to us at least on the GB scene producers and dj’s.

Also recently Post World Industries was resurrected with the recent release of Filastine’s ‘Loot’. The second big release by the newly resurrected PWI was ‘Quilombo Do Futuro’. Maga Bo called upon the producers specifically for the task of the follow up remix release.

One of my favorite remixes is Chancha Via Circuito’s remix of ‘No Balanco da Canoa’. He brings the track to a new place putting the listener into a deeply pleasant trance.

There are a lot of tracks so I won’t waste any more of your time, so please dig in and enjoy.

I didn’t want to spend too much time reviewing the album as well as not just copy the press release information like so many others. I prefer always to write honestly and write what I know.

It’s been an epic week for mixxxes this week! All 3 are much more than a cut above, so check em out & get schooled… Den5hion is easily in my top 3 producers worldwide but he still exceeds my expectations with his mix, Maga Bo brings a deliciously filthy tropical bass selection and DJ Zhao‘s latest mix was always going to be epic and it doesn’t dissapoint.

Den5hion

Den5hion is one of the absolute most exciting guys making music right now in my opinion, so it was with massive anticipation that I downloaded this one. It’s surprisingly light on the latin-leaning bass of his own productions, favouring a more sparse electronic sound. What’s so impressive about this, besides top notch tune selection, is the effortless ramping up and down of tempo and energy, the sense of movement & narrative which is carried off all the way through without the transitions seeming random.

DJ Zhao

20MIN RHYTHM FORCE SPRING 2012 by djzhao

No tracklist for this one, naughty Zhao, normally I wouldn’t post a mix without a tracklist but this was just too damn good. Hopefully Zhao will fill us in.

My new record, QUILOMBO DO FUTURO is finished and I’m now in the process of getting it out into the world.  For that, I’m asking for YOUR help!

I’ve started a Kickstarter project to raise funds to make this release possible.  So far, the project is 50% funded, so we’re well on our way.  There are many cool prizes for donations – the actual record, the remixes, DJ tools version and more.

We would love and appreciate your help and support in making this release happen.

More details about the project and see (and listen!) a video about the record here:

Our global friend MAGA BO has a new freebie online today, this guy has been instrumental in getting GB of the ground in the first place, inspiring me to start blogging in the wee wee beginning in 2009! He was also repping us in 2010 on one of the big stages at the Mundial festival and has been staying in touch ever since we first met around ’07 or ’08. This is a ragga-esque banger, a remix from a great cut by SUB SWARA, redone with additional percussion by João Hermeto. Recorded and mixed at Comando Digital, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This joint is an official remix, but was never released, but now needs to get out into the world!
so here YA GO!

Fire It Up (Maga Bo Remix) feat. Lyrics Born – Sub Swara by MAGA BO

and the original version:
Fire it Up (feat. Lyrics Born) by Sub Swara

Maga Bo’s new EP is an explosion of heavy hitting world bass music. The musicians on this release show how powerful traditional instruments riffs and rhymes can sound with the right electronic production. I’ve just received a video clip for Gondar that illustrate beautifully how this  production happened and how Maga Bo gets around to the sound!

I got to choose a remix as a promo for ya’ll and picking one wasn’t easy because they are all wickedly good. I end up going with Filastine,as I am a big fan of his stuff and cuz it is hard to find new material from him (although he told me that a new album is in the works for summer/11).  Enjoy this quality release (out 4/25/11) that will be heavy ammunition in any dj’s crate.

Maga Bo – Ransom EP by Senseless Records

From the label:

We’re welcoming in the 5th birthday year (see below) for Senseless with an incredible release that mixes cutting edge bass music with traditional Ethiopian instruments and folklore. Combined with the artwork, a ‘making of’ video and backed by a truly international set of remixes, it is a project that has been a year in the making. The man responsible is international bass nomad Maga Bo, a producer and DJ who literally embodies the global spirit of Senseless as a label. You might know him from an extensive discography including is work with the Dutty Artz collective in NYC (DJ Rupture/Matt Shadetek/Uproot Andy etc), or on labels like Shockout, Tru Thoughts, African Dope or Soot Records. For those unfamiliar with his work he lives in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a place where he draws plenty of inspiration from, musical and otherwise, as he explains,

“Brazil is a massive inspiration… I’m very interested in afro-brazilian rhythms, of which there are many. samba, coco, baião, sambareggae, jongo are all present in my new productions for example”.

There’s another level to his experience in Brazil too, one that informs his work on a deeper level:

“I’m a permanent resident in Brazil, but this has been a very difficult and stressful journey and has really opened my eyes to the experiences of immigrants around the world. I am a migrant musician, as most musicians are, historically, to some degree. Migration and immigration are powerful forces influencing and affecting culture and art. The music that I compose, produce, play and research is a product of migration – my own journeys and the journeys of others.”

That very much sums up Bo’s existence and why we’re so excited to be working with him: a relentless thirst for travel, discovery and collaboration driven by music. This EP came about from a trip to Ethiopia where he met Indriss Hassanwho plays the distinctive single-stringed masinqo on title track Ransom. The track was inspired by the infamous hyenas which are fed raw meat outside the gates of Harar, birthplace of Ras Tafari. As Bo explains,

“The way they way move is unlike any animal I’ve ever seen: very powerful. It was their particular way of moving – with caution, but also with desire (to feed) and power – that inspired this track.”

Ransom evolves out of a haze of field recordings driven forward by handclaps with the distinctive masinqo loop rising up out of the atmosphere before a deep sub bass rolls in to underpin it. It’s at once hypnotic and psychedelic, evoking the intensity and energy of a vibrant city like Addis Ababa after dark. The other original track, Gondar, is a traditional Azmari song from Ethiopia, rewired with a dancehall-like riddim and elastic synth bass and more masinqo, this time played by Eritbu “Solomon” Agegnehu.

The remixes come from a truly international line-up all hand picked by Maga Bo himself. First up with a dancehall/dubstep hybrid is the legendary Timeblind of NYC via Berlin, whose varied career has seen everything from techno releases on Hawtin’s Plus-8 to digital dancehall on Kid606’s Shockout. Teleseen (Percepts Recordings), another NYC native atomises the parts and reassembles them in a gloriously schizophrenic electro/acoustic showdown. South Africa’s Fletcher (African Dope) takes the track in a dub direction adding space and FX to the mix. Filastine (Soot/Jarring Effect/Uberlingua/PWI), from Barcelona, comes through with a time-bending groove and ratty, resonant subbass. Last up, Senseless family Pacheko from Venezuela offers up a dub orientated bass-weight monster aimed at deeper dancefloors, something a little different from his recent 4×4 work.

Finally, a special mention for the artwork, a collaboration between local photographer Michael Tsegaye and Venezuelan designer Mad Kick, part of the Abstractor collective with Pacheko. A video clip shot by Maga Bo during the recording of “Gondar” completes the picture.

Our buddy Maga Bo is involved in one of the coolest projects I’ve ever heard of. Actually it is very similar to an idea I had back in 2008 while speaking to a very cool dude from Morocco. He was telling me about how musically talented the kids in his village were and how passionate and inspired they are about life. We thought how cool it would be to teach them some electronica and give them the tools to produce and share their creations.

I visited Maga Bo’s website to catch up on his activities when I wrote the Global Heavyweights post about a week ago, and there I learned about his upcoming project in Morocco. After watching the promo video for it and reading the info, I truly believe that this project has the potential to be something really amazing for the locals in Morocco, the international participants and volunteers, and later for all of us lovers of global bass music as the results will start pouring back in online.

If you read more about it, you will see that they have a main supporter for the project and the funding they are seeking for are for a preliminary trip out there to make sure everything runs smoothly. Here is your chance to pledge and be a part of a real social benefit that is deeply grounded in the music we love and the cultures that we admire.

By pledging you can also receive pretty awesome stuff including personalized dj mixes, a visit by Maga Bo and Dj Rupture to rock your party and the ultimate kickback is a chance to jump on-board and become a member of the Beyond Digital team. Please visit their kickstarter page and give what you can. The mere thought of contributing to the global music movement through a project that is going to give so much to the musicians and artists involved in it is worth any dollar amount.

Hurry up and donate now, only 2 weeks left to fund the first phase of the project and to get it started!!!: http://kck.st/edA7fp

BTW, while on his website, i found this mix of his from about a year ago, highly recommended listening and downloading:

and this awesome remix of Filastine

both were previously featured here on GB :P

Hey Wizraeli here, wanting to let you know about some heavy tunes that grabbed my attention big time! You know, I go through a lot of music, both commercially released and self-published, and what I have been hearing is a big difference between the two categories. There is something so fresh sounding about listening to a tune right out of the oven, minutes after it was bounced and exported by the artist, slightly raw, maybe unmastered, and just how they intended. The artists are of course influenced by their environment and current worldly affairs and getting to listen to the music immediately after it was created makes the experience more powerful. This is still an emerging phenomena thanks to soundcloud and other services, and music production itself is taking a similar direction. Now, with upcoming cloud-ready music production applications (check out ohm studio), soon transnational collaborations will happen instantaneously and our listening pleasure soon after.

Shifting back to this post, let’s hear what some of the hard rockers of the scene got to offer to us starting with the already Legendary Son Of Kick and this HUUUGE RAW Rmx that stood out my playlist like a giant in a (ganja) garden. Listen to it and tell me if you don’t get what I was just talking about just then, freshness!

CrunchTime Records very own Stereotyp is here again with two new instrumental barefoot riddims. If you ever seen him perform, heard his tracks, or spun them yourself, you know that no one drops that bass as heavy as Stereotyp! So make sure your bass-woofer levels are cranked up, press the big play button below, and check out the latest from the CrunchTime Records production house and Stereotyp who pretty much defined the genre without tempo limits, Barefoot. (be sure to check out their active group on soundcloud). So I am not sure if these riddims are stereo’s, ku bo, or both, so i am giving the credit for them both.
