Speaking of Cumbia

Published by DJ C on March 14, 2008 in Events, Free Tunes, Genres and Podcast. 1 Comment

The sounds of Central/South American cumbia have become a bit of an interweb phenom over the past year. Zizek Tour 2008This is no doubt due in large part to the extensive coverage on /rupture’s Mud Up blog. There’s now a steady stream of underground, electronic-dance-music influenced (less folk/traditional instrumentation) cumbia tracks bubbling up, and the Buenos Aires, Argentina-based crew Zizek Urban Beats Club is now in the states on tour to promote their particular brand of the sound.

As it says on their flyers:

Argentina’s leading producers of digital cumbia, glitch folk, electro reggaeton, mashups and more.

These guys seem like good-eggs and what’s more, my friend DJ Refusenik who moved to Buenos Aires from Boston last year will be on tour Zizek at Sonothequewith the Club. They’re performing in Austin at SXSW tonight at the Iheartcomix vs. Mad Decent party featuring folks like Diplo, Simian Mobile Disco, Switch, Santogold, Amanda Blank, Flosstradamus, Blaqstar, Tommy Sunshine, Drop the Lime, Rye Rye, Har Mar Superstar, Roxy Cottontail, Nick Catchdubs, Klever, Scottie B, Fluokids, Dave Nada, Bird Peterson, and the list goes on and on. It actually sounds a little ridiculous.

Unfortunately I won’t be making it down to TX for that crazyness, though I’m psyched to be heading up for a gig in Mulwaukee tonight — Sublow Bounce ->. The other good news is that the Zizek Club will be here in Chicago next Friday at Sonotheque, and I’m really looking forward to seeing what kind of heat they bring. Here are a couple of tracks by artists on the tour.

Cumbia De Obama

/rupture scooped this one. Our old friend and comrade in Toneburst, Rafi B and his band Fosforo drops what I assume is the first cumbia campaign song for Obama.

Track of the Week: “Somebody’s a Flirt”

Published by DJ C on March 12, 2008 in Free Tunes, Mashups / Remixes and Podcast. 5 Comments

R. Kelly as action figureI wanted to have some new music for the FlosstraPROMus party; something at least slightly Valentine’s Day themed since the party fell on Feb. 14 (pictures here and here). What better combination than some adrenaline infused bassline-house with local Chi-Town hero R. Kelly’s vocals on top, I though to myself. Perhaps the lyrics to I’m a Flirt don’t capture the best V-Day sentiment but here’s the fruit of that thought none the less.

Ghislain Poirier, DJ C, Murderbot, Zebo @ SubT, Chicago

Ghislain Poirier at SubTGhislain Poirier (Ninja Tune, Montreal)
Saturday, March 8 @ Subterranean

With DJ C, Chrissy Murderbot, and resident DJ Zebo

Here’s what the press are saying:

Canadian beatmaker Ghislain Poirier offers music to suit many tastes, but whatever he touches ends up with overflowing bass and plenty of bounce in the rhythm. Hailing from the musical incubator known as Montreal, he first popped up on Chicago’s Chocolate Industries and grabbed attention with remixes for Diverse and Lady Sovereign, but these days it’s his original compositions that are getting the remix treatment from the likes of Modeselektor and We Are Wolves. On “No Ground Under,” his recent release on the venerated Ninja Tune imprint, Poirier configures stomping drums and swarming bass into hip-hop, reggae, baile funk, dubstep and occasionally less classifiable arrangements while collaborating with an international array of MCs. He brings this same borderless range of influences to his DJ sets, which are likely to include just about anything with too much low end and a propensity for inducing ass-shaking. Subterranean’s sound system is in for a workout.
- Newcity Chicago

On March 8th, Montreal’s Ghislain Poirier guests with ragga riddims and deconstructed hip-hop of the Ninja Tune variety.
- Time Out Chicago

…with his 2007 No Ground Under LP (released on the Ninja Tune label), he moved solidly into the pocket with the sound he’s been brewing up these past couple of years — ruff’n'tumble riddims from the Caribbean, South America, Africa, and the Middle East threaded on deep, block-rattling basslines with a fair amount of digital dirt thrown in for good measure.
- Gapers Block

…you are guaranteed to get down on the dancefloor with the Montreal-based producer’s blend of ragga, hip-hop and grime beats.
