Kalise remixes

So the El Guincho - Kalise remix project finally comes out. I've been waiting for that for almost a year now, but anyway it's good that the songs are finally accessible. Get them here. And check out 2 of my favorites:

Un mix en l'honneur de Jorge Ben ici

Un article de Jean-Yves Leloup sur les "International Ghetto Beats" qui ne nous référence même pas... franchement Jean-Yves...

Schlachthofbronx transforme Timberlee en electro-soca, à écouter ici: http://www.zshare.net/audio/5464200319624f10/

Cheif Boima sort une mixtape que vous allez pouvoir télécharger en un morceau, ou en plusieurs, en 192 ou en 320. Ca se passe là

Comme vous avez pu le lire sur MadDecent, sur Ghettobassquake ou sur Discobelle (je suis faignant je poste pas dès que je reçois), Frikstailers viennent de sortir un EP autour de la track Baile Frick où ils présentent leur version du funk de Morro (télécharger ici). Bon ça fait longtemps que ça circule, mais les tracks avec Zulu sont vraiment excellentes. Vous avez sans doute écouté leur version du Kuduro l'été dernier sur Masala. Non? Et comme Jasper de Maddecent le dit: get ready for their El Guincho remix! Une bombe que vous pouvez entendre dans la vidéo ci-dessous. Sinon c'est par là que ça se passe.


One of my favourite label, Strut Rec is releasing a best of of Lafayette Afro-Rock band (also known by the name of ICE). A classic for the funk amateurs in Paris (they lived in France), but it might be less known outside of France. So go check it out and download this great track called Time Will Tell here. My personal favourite would be Congo or Racubah! though.

Et pour finir, je range mes vinyles en ce moment et en réécoutant une compilation des Four Tops, je suis tombé sur ce morceau surprenant et excellent:
Four Tops - Seven Rooms of Gloom [savefile]

El Guincho en Montreal

Qu'est-ce que vous faîtes vendredi? Je vais mixer avant, pendant et après le concert, donc on aura le temps de prendre un verre et socialiser. A un moment dans la soirée, je jouerai cette track que j'ai trouvé sur Likembe.

Masala is turning into an indie blog! Watch out Hype Machine!

Two tracks that I'll play on the radio show this week, that I want to share with you a bit before.


Download Coconot - El Final Del Sonido Tropical

Coming out of Barcelona, Coconot is a band/project that Pablo Díaz-Reixa, also known as El Guincho, was doing before fully getting into his solo effort. Coconot's album is overall less experimental or electronic than Alegranza and might be closer to the sound of their first EP than Guincho's sampling project. That song is outstanding on the album by it's happy melodic pop lines and it's emphasis on drums and repetitive verse. It has the same vibe as the single but it's more interesting in my opinion. Go check out their myspace to listen a good half of their album called Cosa Astral to be released very soon in stores and that you can already get through Bcore's website.


Next is recommendation by my friend Sean Michaels of Said the Gramophone, fellow Montrealer, teacher in jokes, master of bright remarks, and soon to come to the radio show to give us a little selection. When I told him about the awesomeness of Buraka Som Sistema's Black Diamond, he replied by a mysterious name: Jib Kidder. You got to listen to that gamelan crunk he said. Of course I was intrigued! Well there it is! Gamelan crunk! Go read Sean's story on living computers or go get blown away by Jib's myspace page karate chop.
