Dakar Bounce

Maga Bo made this great mini-documentary/interview with Senegalese rappers Xuman and Keyti. These guys speak articulately and positely about the globalization of hip-hop, and the cross-breeding of musical influences from around the world.

Now with internet, the world is like an international village… I can know what’s going on in Brazil today… I can know what’s happening in China; I can know what’s happening in Iraq… I can even make music with people living there from the internet.
-Xuman

Body Juke, Britney Work

DJ C and Zulu “Body Work” Community Library 10-inch Record LabelThe other day Murderbot asked me for the a-capella of Body Work; a track that Zulu and I made. I sent it his way and the next day he sent me back 2 remixes. They’re both hot!

The first one is a mashup of Zulu’s vocals on top of Britney’s new (“It’s Britney, Bitch”) beat.

The album version on Boyz is a dope tune as well. In fact, it’s got quite a Boston-bounce to it. Give a listen to it here:

Speaking of Boston-bounce, Flack’s also got a recent DJ mix in which he blends together a bunch of said genre with dubstep, b-more, hip-hop and other stuff. It’s called — appropriately enough — Dub Step Bounce and you can get it over at his site.

Mashup of the Week: “ABC Traffic Jam”

Stephen MarleyJackson 5This one’s a remix of a remix. A friend of mine sent me Stephen Marley’s Traffic Jam Remix ft. Snoop Dawg (which is dope BTW and you can hear it on Stephen’s theirspace page), and he also graced me with the instrumental. Right away I knew I had to do something with it, and what a better combo than the Marleys and the Jacksons. Little Michael’s voice on ABC sounds perfect over this riddim.

South Rakkas On Fire

South Rakkas “Mix Up” EP CoverI came across this promo MP3 of South Rakkas upcoming album on Mad Decent. It’s obviously gonna be fire!

These guys have been producing blazin’ dancehall riddims for a minute, and I’ve always been attracted to the stuff ’cause it seems to be influenced by sounds that aren’t part of the standard Jamaican palette (not that there really ever is a standard Jamaican palette). I suppose that’s partly because they’re based in Florida, not JA, and perhaps that explains the rave-music influence. Florida was a hotbed of said culture in its hey-day. But it’s not just American rave, I hear lots of UK influence in there. The Clappas riddim has a swing to it that can be mixed with the swing drum&bass stuff that was coming out at the time, and the Bionic Ras riddim not only sounds sort of like 2-step-garage, but it even features some UK vocalists. In fact it seems that South Rakkas member Alex G is a prolific producer of house, breaks, and other electronic-dance-music styles.

The fact that this little MP3 sampler features Sesame St. “Pinball Number Count” along-side Josh Wink’s ’90s-acid-anthem “Higher States of Consciousness” and reggae greats like TOK and Capleton is simply ridiculous, and I for one can’t wait to hear the EP.
