Stush at Hot WUK w / The Heatwave & Sticky

March 15, 2010 · 1 Comment

Just got this today and it´s pretty tight. The Heatwave from London, who´ve been throwing raves and parties with bashment, dancehall and some global riddims for more then 7 years now, are having a live performance from female MC Stush next thursday at The Big Chill House in London. Sticky is resident with The Heatwave, and has made himself a proper reputation through tons of releases and some good collabs with Miss Dynamite and others in the garage and grime scene.
To promote their party they give away a free track, so grab this one and if you´re in London town, get your ass downtown to Hot Wuk to shake to some hot funky carribean riddims against the cold weather!

DownloadStush – Dollar Sign (Sticky Remix)

“Hot Wuk is London’s biggest weekly dancehall night, with residents The Heatwave and Sticky playing the baddest bashment from Kingston to London.

Forget about joining the gym – Hot Wuk is your weekly dancehall workout.

On Thursday 25th February Hot Wuk will host a live performance from Stush, one of the biggest female MCs in the UK.

Stush

Stush is the original bad gyal MC from south London, leading the UK’s formidable pack of female bashment vocalists. With recent mainstream press celebrating her unique style and delivery, she’s ready to blow up all over again.

After ten years tearing down raves around the world, Stush has built a reputation as one of London’s finest MCs. Her squeaky machine-gun flow is instantly recognisable over garage, house or bashment.

From starting out as a dancehall MC, Stush teamed up with garage legend Sticky in 2001 to produce the club smash Dollar Sign. Since then Stush has had a stream of big singles including top ten hit Get Low with Groove Armada and last year’s massive We Nuh Run alongside Hard House Banton.”

From Mapuche to 2 – Step

March 10, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Just a few new gems for you, since I´m back and had a little time to check my inbox. First one comes from Sonora, who brought you the Maluca and Major Lazer Guacharaca Remixes. Then we have “Beatriz Pichi Malen vs Funkystepz”, a dubstep mix with Mapuche canto from NiceNoise & Le Freak Selector (with whom I played a few times together in Barcelona´s Sala Apolo back in 2007 / 2008). And last but not least Pozorek provides a dry African drum cycle track called “Zebula”, fresh sounds out of the mountains from Canada.

Sonora – 2-Step

Nicenoise – Mapuche Funky

Pozorek – Zebula

Btw, I´m playing tonight @ Schikaneder in Vienna. Come around and say hello!

Sylordub Cumbia

March 5, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Just got this new mixtape from Sylordub (Pedro D´Alessandro) in my inbox and like it. Pedro is resident at Switch Club in Argentina, which opened it´s door recently last year in September and will reopen after Argetinian winter slowly draws back. Furthermore Switch Club is more like a creative meeting place, where DJ´s, VJ´s, street artists and video gamers get together equally and where different styles just flow together. I like even more! And they require dancers for the dancefloor. Shoot, that´s my place.

“Switch Club is a freestyle dancefloor, that propose different rhythms (different from the music people of this city are used to listen) and new dancing steps: our dancefloor requires daring dancers!
We dedicate our club to a wide variety of styles like funk, dance hall, reggaeton, bastardpop, hip hop, bmore, electronic cumbia, electro, mashups, hip house and more.
The place’s esthetics is very cool. We try to summon different kind of artists to our club, like VJs, DJs, designers, street artists, or actors, because we are related to graphic design, fashion and urban styles. We also have lots of video games (arcades, PS3 and Wii) inside the place and we try to incorporare new technology all the time!

Plus, Codoba is the place where cuarteto comes from, ché! Pedro´s mix doesn´t only contain this of course, it´s more a broad mix of cumbia, bass, some dubstep influences, psy electro and very dancefloor friendly. Many of thr known cumbia people in there as well, like Uproot Andy, Largatijeando, Sonido del Principe and more.

sub.fm & Badeshiff, Vienna

March 3, 2010 · 2 Comments

Tomorrow, thursday 4th, I´ll be on dubsquare radio show on sub.fm together w/ IZC (head of Vienna based Dubsquare record label). I´m really hyped about the invitation! Mad props to IZC.

And afterwards you´ll find me playing global bass, cumbia, distorted 8bit, balkan and breakcore tunes at Badeschiff, Vienna w/ the Club Side Down / Ready to Rumble crew. Tune in and / or pass by and say hello if you are around!

Dubsquare @ sub.fm 3 – 5 pm GMT
Club Side Down @ Badeschiff, Vienna 11 pm – ? am

Btw, this is also the beginning of my mini Euro tour, that completely organized itself all alone. 3 countries in three days: Vienna (Austria) on Thursday – Bern (Switzerland) on Friday – Barcelona (Spain) on Saturday. In celtic culture the number three means evolution, growth and a union between body, mind and soul. It manifests the beginning and the end, the eternal evolution and comprehension. It also symbolizes the past, the present and the future. On the other hand in Jewish culture, if something has been done three times, it´s considered to be permanent, called JAZAKA (explanation thanks to Species Mag March). Let´s see how this trip turns out!
