Or, Rita Indiana is taking over Santo Domingo and the Dominican Republic. We’re wrapping up a bunch of tunes, but until then, here she is injecting voodoo-mambo-punk into the television itself…

Que Bajo Bersa 6

Bersa Discos are releasing their latest EP of neo cumbia remixes very soon (check Turntable Lab) and we are celebrating the occasion in New York at this month’s Que Bajo at Santos Party House tomorrow night, Thursday Oct 15th.  Bersa #6 features tunes by Sabo & Cassady and we will have Sabo in the house tomorrow night along with Bersa co-founder Disco Shawn over from the bay area.  Geko Jones and I, fresh off our tour of the US and Colombia, will be there as always and, being that my first record was also on Bersa, it is decidedly a family affair.

Also, we get to offer this dope cut off the record for download:

This Saturday I will speak at the New Yorker Festival, as part of a panel on The Music Biz: Remixing the Industry. It ain’t cheap, but with folks like lifelong industry uber-insider Danny Goldberg, Downtown Records boss Josh Deutsch, and bassist Melvin Gibbs in the mix, discussion should be lively.

I mean, there are only a few more years where we can actually sit down and talk about ‘the music biz’ with ‘record executives’ and such, so let’s make the most of it. And/or help the sick patient die faster.

R.I.P. OiNK.

Later this month I’ll be performing in Copenhagen, and so many things are happening in November that my subconscious mind won’t let me think about it yet.

Just got a hold of this quasi-new set from Appleblim and Wedge, recorded on sub fm. I hadn’t heard of Wedge before, but am feeling his production, more of this post-dilla, slowish dubstep kind of thing that keeps popping up. It’s a little reminiscent of darkstar. Nice to hear radio sets where the djs are blatantly having a laugh in the studio… Vibes!!

lucky dragons

Lucky Dragons’ performances overturn conventions of electronic music with generosity and grace. On Monday October 12, they will join DJ Rupture to share sounds and discuss the relationship between social and sonic experimentation, Los Angeles, erasing the barriers between performer and audience, and more.

(Also, something I’m aware of but completely forgot to mention:) Lucky Dragons opened for Thom Yorke’s new band debut (both nights) in L.A. last week!! You know, that new band that also features Flea of Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Thanks to Big Brother Rupture for the reminder!

…and on Tuesday LUCKY DRAGONS will perform @ Industry City out in Sunset Park, BROOKLYN.

Subscribe to the Mudd Up! podcast if you want downloadable versions: , Mudd Up! RSS. Listen, get involved, throw in comments, questions. Again, Mondays @ 7PM.

For those outside our FM broadcast range, WFMU offers live streaming and even has its own free iPhone app!

When you spill out of a tremendous /Rupture set at four in the morning (dont let the screen shot time fool you) in Montreal and find yourself sw/sta-ggering down the street with your favorite ethnomusicologist and two of the best dancers in the club…. there is only one logical destination.

Ghislain’s new Karnival party also got its start last weekend in the land of the Bixi Bike…. absolutely fire sets from Paul Devro, Tim Dub Boy, and the tropical Rick Rubin himself. Whether your in Bristol or Montreal- don’t miss the next edition.

And if your looking for something to hype up your Friday night:

This is a mix I finished on ableton for the London Crew Get Me! before I returned back to my beloved 1200’s this fall. I was hoping to rerecord the mix as a longer serato based project… thats not happening anytime soon so I figured I’d let this one drop as is.

Thomas Mapfumo & The Acid Band – Hwa-Hwa

In Harare, Zimbabwe (or what at the time was known as Salisbury, Zimbabwe Rhodesia) — sometime in the middle of the 1970s, Thomas Mapfumo stopped playing covers of American rock and soul (music by Elvis Presley, Bobby Darrin, Mick Jagger, etc.) He began singing in shona, and transcribing the sounds of the mbira (chief instrument for traditional Shona music) to the electric guitar. His lyrics became overtly political, in support of the revolutionary movement in the rural parts of the country. The white minority Rhodesians/ruling population, which was brutally suppressing voices of dissent, didn’t catch on due to their lack of understanding of the native language/culture until 1978 when Thomas Mapfumo released the song “Hokoyo,” which means “Watch Out!” in Shona, and Mapfumo was eventually arrested and jailed. “Hokoyo” became a regional hit in Zimbabwe and Mozambique. The song “Hwa-Hwa” is from Thomas Mapfumo’s first full-length, also titled Hokoyo! –first time available in the US thanks to Water.

A few years back, Rupture wrote about and posted some Mapfumo tracks, especially digging his 1980s catalog. Thomas Mapfumo made most of his albums in the 1980s and ’90s, releasing politically charged music, criticizing Robert Mugabe’s government for its gross human rights abuse and torture/beating and killing of opposition party candidates and supporters. Mapfumo was exiled from Zimbabwe in the 1990s. He now lives in Oregon, still making music and touring internationally.

The Spit Brothers – Roll And Tumble (Bakir And Dubsworth’s VIP Mix)

Amazing new release from Dubs Alive! This is the B-side, pure sweetness, guitar, melodica rolling on top some clean/almost too perfect subs, great drums & percussion sounds too! West Coast badman DZ (I have been enjoying his tunes for a good minute now) blessed the A-side with two rootsy riddims, and “Jah Prayer” is excellent, absolutely marvelous.  Check for the Spits Brothers “Roll and Tumble” original version here, along with their other great tunes. Also, keep an eye out for Bakir and Dubsworth.
