New Imanaren Album Out Now Direct From Morocco

by Taliesin. November 16th, 2011

Imanaren is beautiful mystical music from the south of Morocco. Jace found them during our Beyond Digital residency project last summer in Casablanca- and after becoming close friends with the band leader Hassan, we decided to re-release their self titled, DIY full length. We traveled to Hassan’s hometown of Issafen via a grueling 12 hour drive into a sublime desert of martian rock formations and dusty oases. Nearly half way through our stay, Hassan’s father finally asked us why exactly we had come. Hassan isn’t allowed to play music in the house, so we recorded with his local friends and fellow musicians in a natural amphitheater carved out by a waterfall in a dry gorge. We will be selling an extremely limited number of the original Moroccan CD pressings that Hassan had distributed on a small scale through Morocco- other then that, stream it all on Hassan’s youtube channel – or cop it amazon, boomkat, or any other fine digital shop. Watch the video we shot in Issafen for “Flowering Of The Wise” and Hassan’s first collabo with Nettle below.

Korak EP

by SamR. August 15th, 2011

I’m not sure if they’re referring to the son of Tarzan,  town in Nepal, or the language from Papua New Guinea, but we’re proud to announce DA013 the Korak EP from Contakt & Mayster. The duo are behind TURRBOTAX®, Brooklyn’s own XLR8R sponsored “un-pretentious yet forward thinking and adventurous” club night at The Cove, now turning two years old.

On “Korak” tropical percussion, 808 cowbells and an assortment of clicks and pops whir and collide around a throbbing, syncopated bass line. DA’s own Matt Shadetek provides a NYC 3Ball rework with nuff bass to rattle windows and rib cages. The b-side “Opar” is a study in tension and release with a more classic 4×4 house beat while Contakt & Mayster create a soundscape with reversed cymbals and filtered percussion. Doc Daneeka comes through with a UK Funky remix.

Out Soon!!!!

@DubbelDutch 12″ White Label Stream + MPFREE + Order

by Taliesin. April 12th, 2011

You can order our killer 12″ from Dubbel Dutch now from Crosstalk HERE. Numbers are limited, but it should reach all your favorite shops shortly.

Fact is calling this “the most realised embodiment of Dutch’s wide-reaching, net-digging aesthetic to date,” and from a producer who already gets plays NguzuNguzu, Untold, Bok Bok, L- Vis 1990, Sinden, Brodinski, Jamie XX, and DA crew,  THAT’S NO JOKE

When Shadetek  and /Rupture first came into the game, white labels and test presses were THE secret weapons in every DJ’s crate. Long before mp3 blasts and re-mastered youtube rips a trip to London or Berlin (or insane post charges)  meant the possibilities of getting your hands on exclusive fire. Wanting to bring the DA brand out of the limitations of bits and into the hearts and hands of their supporters, we have decided to make things- gear you can melt, scratch, break or lose when you move. An exclusive apparel collection with Gold Coast Trading Company and white label 12″ with our friend Dubbel Dutch are just the first of a series of interventions DA is making into the physical.

Dubbel Dutch – Fem Pressure 320

RITA INDIANA RELEASES A GENIUS-MONSTER ALBUM CALLED EL JUIDERO

by Rupture. October 15th, 2010

GOOD NEWS Y’ALL! / BUENA NOTICIAS PA TO

This is the moment in the game when Rita Indiana takes over. When she starts to win everything. Rising stars, the best celestial event, we sit back & enjoy.

rita

Just months (!) after her debut release entered the world via yr favorite GIF-maker’s favorite DIY media hallucination/fuckup-garden, DUTTY ARTZ, Rita indiana has created a Modern Masterpiece, a genius-monster of an album called El Juidero. It launched this week on the same label that catapulted Aventura into bachata stardom.

Rita’s one of those people who seem to effortlessly bend the laws of the possible… and do it in style — with content as well! The mind boggles. I tried to explain things over here… The former novelist’s way with words is incredible, so let’s just say we feel sorry for the gringo massive who can’t understand her lyrics because Rita is at the top of the lyrics game… for real. And the more you know about Dominican and related music(s), the deeper her songs & structures will reach. Context! plus Voodoo, baby! UNDARUNDEIRO 4 LIFE. (By the way, I was just talking with Ivory, he joined Rita & I to lay down some percussion on ‘Los Poderes’, and he was telling me about Garifuna musicians playing gigs up in the Bronx! Plus young, fast accordionists.)

So. El Juidero. We love Club Fonograma’s 5-star review: “Add Rita Indiana Hernandez to the list of extraordinary individuals who carry transcendence in every step of their creative spectrum.” We love the review because it is one hundred percent accurate, a rare journalistic event!

Picture 213

[clearly, Dominican cake]

The best part about running a DIY media hallucination/fuckup garden is watching great things happen to members of the Dutty Artz family as we explode into the world, determined to make it swing a little harder. We’re gonna make our cake and we’re gonna share our cake and we’re gonna eat that cake too, all at same time. (Cake metaphors = prepping you for our 12-part series on Dominican cake extragavance in NYC, they’re downright architectural).

Here’s the title track from El Juidero:

plus a deliciously funny song about ‘el maldito feisbu’ (think Zuckerberg) which she fed to the internet this winter:

Funny Cats – Matt Shadetek Video

by Matt Shadetek. September 15th, 2010

This was originally posted at mattshadetek.com
YouTube Preview Image

Check out a little viral video I just made for the song Funny Cats off my album Flowers.  It’s got a bunch of LOLcats images and funny cat videos from YouTube cut to my song.

There were two inspirations for this video.  1) I actually like these stupid cat videos on the internet and feel like the effervescent silliness of them fits the song well 2) they get 40 Million hits on YouTube.  So the idea here is to see if combining my song with this kind of viral content can make it get more hits and more importantly reach people who aren’t blog-reading, social-networking music nerds but instead regular people who watch funny cat videos on YouTube.  I’ll let you know how it works.

DJ /rupture Presents: CIAfrica OUT TODAY!!

by Taliesin. August 24th, 2010

CIAfrica is a heavy crew. They have their own thing going on in Babi, Cote d’ivoire and run the sort of international basss weight productions that we live for- along with spitfire lyrics that jump between local concerns and international awareness. Basically they are dope as fuck. It is a huge honor and pleasure to finally see their DA debut up at all the usual spots and getting love from some serious heavyweight DJs, producers and friends.

Various tracks are being loaded to blogs of varying readership- but if you want a little somethin’ somethin’ straight from the elephants mouth….

Head over to bandcamp to DL a copy of the perfectly titled “Epikstar Riddim” from Babylon Residence. This is our first shot with bandcamp- and once we have your email address we’ll hit you with more free music and the occasional update.

RITA INDIANA OUT NOW!!!!!!

by Taliesin. July 9th, 2010

Huge new single from Rita Indiana y los Misterios, ”No Ta Llevando El Diablo”  b/w “Los Poderes” (translation: “The Devil’s Takin’ Us Away” and “Powers”)
