They talked about the attempt of Buraka Som Sistema to beat George Cloney’s air miles during last year tour all over the world, about Joao’s inevitable yet short rock career, about Roulet, a guy to watch from who we’ll give you fresh and juicy news pretty soon… But essentially they talked about music and the tracks included on our first compilation. Yes, this means that know that we have started… now can stop us now!!

Exit Through The Gift Shop - A Banksy Film

We’re can’t wait to see this one!!!!!

The BBC reported “It is described as the story of how an eccentric French shop keeper turned documentary maker attempted to locate and befriend Banksy, only to have the artist turn the camera back on him”.

Banksy said: “It’s the story of how one man set out to film the un-filmable. And failed”. He later elaborated to the Guardian “It’s a film about a man who tried to make a film about me. Everything in it is true, especially the bits where we all lie.”

BATIDA “BAZUKA (QUEM ME RUSGOU?)” VIDEO

“Bazuka” is Batida’s first single and you can see it here.

Batida is a radio show broadcasted by the Fazuma family that, since 2007, promotes their favourites on everything Afro or Afro inspired urban music.

On Fazuma’s own words “This time, we dived into the ar­chives of RTP Africa. The idea was to se­lect images that il­lus­trate the hidden story behind “Ba­zuka”, the track that started “Dance Mwan­golé”. We hand-​picked and mixed his­to­rical fo­o­tage, with some con­tem­po­rary images we col­lected over the last ye­ars. Others were sam­pled from of our do­cu­men­tary “É Dreda Ser An­go­lano”. Then we took some graphics that Roda made for the cd, Limão made a few extra il­lus­tra­ti­ons, Ma­caco Simão did the ani­ma­tion and it was con­cluded with some post pro­duc­tion. The need to make this video in­cre­a­sed, be­cause most pe­ople couldn’t get the mi­nimal story behind “Ba­zuka”.
So here it is: “Ba­zuka” is based on the tes­ti­mony of a po­pular in our do­cu­men­tary “É Dreda Ser An­go­lano”, who raises an unanswered ques­tion: “Who drafted me?” He was “drafted” as a child, or re­cruited and forced to fight in war, got lost from his fa­mily and sur­vived with se­rious he­alth pro­blems. We found him in Lu­anda in 2005. He has a name. He is the unk­nown sol­dier. Has “got two pi­eces of sh­rapnel from the war, in his head” and faces a new battle every­day: The sur­vival in time of pe­ace. “Ya. That’s all i have to say.”

EXTREME MAKE OVER

j-wow-01_low-res

J-Wow is the driving force and one of the main producers in Buraka Som Sistema. After touring with the band around the world, wowing audiences from Coachella in California to Melt Festival in Berlin, from Fujirock in Japan to Bestival in the UK, now it’s time for a break! And like they say “a change is as good as a rest”, J-WOW has been working on some fun and inventive new material for his solo project.

His first release, Klang, is out 15 March on Deadly Records. The track is a delightful listen, and an ambient and melodic departure, which J-Wow says came about in an stress-free, organic sort of way. “I came back from Thailand, sat down in the studio and Klang happened.” This will be followed quickly by a much more main room smasher, “O Dedo” on Diplo’s Mad Decent label in April.
And for you who can’t wait for these, we give you an exclusive J-WOW track for free download. Follow this link , drop your e-mail and this code - REBJ086DA7223ED5 - and get ready to dance!!

ROULET WHO?

roulet

Roulet is a young producer from Lisbon that, according to his myspace, is sourrouded by poop…

We don’t really understand why, since the music that he makes tastes like the best fish and chips you’ll ever be able t0 experience, with a unique and very personal approach to kuduro, house and Techno flavours.

Check his myspace songs to see what we’re talking about: http://www.myspace.com/roulet_trole

In case you’re still wondering WTF we’re talking about click  http://www.sendspace.com/file/pi935s to download his Remix for Buraka’s Som Sistema track Kurum. Our friend Annie Mac liked it so much that decided to give it away for free on her blog (www.anniemacpresents.com)

j-wow-plano-b

J-Wow is the driving force and one of the main producers in Buraka Som Sistema. While the band take a break after touring the world supporting their debut album, Black Diamond, J-wow has been hard at work on some fun and inventive new material. His first release, Klang, an ambient and melodic departure from the Buraka sound, is out 6 March on Deadly records. This will be followed quickly by a dance floor smasher “Maconhas de Jesus” on Diplo’s Mad Decent label. J-Wow will be playing select dates in California, NYC and at Miami Winter Music conference before coming back over to Europe for a tour with Kalaf.

Deeply rooted in the fabric of London’s vibrant scene, L-VIS couples a defined British style with elements of global low end vibrations. By fusing elements of Garage, House, Dubstep and all around Bass Heavy riddims, L-VIS’s sound is filtered and reduced into what can best be described as a minimalist take on rhythmic club beats floating on elephantine subs. Mad Decent just released “United Groove Remixes” featuring 6 new versions from Buraka Som Sistema, M.J. Cole, Kingdom, Sound Pellegrino Thermal Team, Cosmin TRG and Baobinga & ID.
