A few recent projects of note landed in my inbox last week. And though I don’t have the time to really give them the write-ups they deserve (and don’t get me started on the backlog of projects I need to big-up), they each grabbed my attention — a remarkable feat in this age of info-glut — and I’ll definitely be giving them some spins tonight at Beat Research. So allow me to pass along some links —<\/p>\n
1) DJ Orion, who’ll be appearing on MuddUp Radio<\/a> this evening, has just released a collection of cumbia remixes<\/a>, which I definitely endorse. You can stream and\/or buy the tracks over at bandcamp<\/a>, where you can name your price too. Orion says, “anywhere between 0-$1 Million will help, thanks!”<\/p>\n 2) DJ Delay keeps the brass’n’bass<\/a> connections going with his own “album” of remixes<\/a> of, as he puts it, “mostly south eastern european” sources, done up “in a dub aesthetic but not always inna reggae style.” The first track revisits Tremor’s “Viajante,” keeping some cumbia in the whirled mix.<\/p>\n 3) And Out:Here records<\/a>, a German outfit specializing in current African sounds (from Africa and beyond), offers an EP to tease<\/a> a forthcoming compilation highlighting the (incredible and still underappreciated) South African house scene. In case those four bangers<\/a> still leave you wanting, Schlachthofbronx have gone and done a remix of Mujava’s contribution<\/a> bringing it squarely into the world2.0 matrix<\/a>.<\/p>\n
