Frederic Galliano KUDURO SOUND SYSTEM

KUDURO is born 10 years ago in Angola, created by Tony Amado, the Angolan's Grandmaster Flash ! KUDURO (Portuguese translation of... hard butt...) is a 100% Angolan production, totally electronic, composed by Angolans dj's. Frederic Galliano has crossed the way of kuduristas in Angola while he was travelling in Africa. The shock is instant and he then decides to produce an album in Luanda with DJ Kito da machina, a dozen of ...batidas... (beats) where the most notorious kuduristas from the capital were coming with their flows and lyrics. KUDURO is an electronic production ...made in... Africa, a singular musical style that gathered traditional music & house with brazilian, caribbean and latin vibes. Beats are a savant mix of programming inspired by Angolan's carnival traditional rhythms at 140 Bpm (ancestor of the Brazilian samba) and accelerated house music beats. From this base with unexpected arrangements, kuduristas put their protest texts (in Portuguese). To go with those new rhythms, Tony Amado has also created a dance, at the same time hard, sensual and languid. This dance constitutes by itself a fascinating performance. To listen and dance like in Luanda : Strong and Wild ! FREDERIC GALLIANO

HOMENAJE A ISOLEE

Oui! J'adore Isolee, mon amour...tu es danse avec moi ce soir?

ISOLÉE is Rajko Mueller, born in Frankfurt/Main.
Lived with his family in Algeria at the age of 7 to 12 and went to a French primary school (and on the week-ends to a beach called bomo plage…)
Came back to Frankfurt with his family in 1983 and went to school where he made a lot of spelling mistakes...
Around that time his parents bought an organ for Christmas and he tried to do some synth-pop with a school friend. They decided to buy a syntheziser and a drumcomputer…
Rajko was bored by synth-pop and EBM in the end of the eighties and listened more to rock and independent music. Friends made him discover house-music, hip-hop and techno in the early nineties. He restarted to copy this on his old syntheziser and soon realized the need of more equipment, that luckily his elder brother already bought because he liked electronic music too.
He gave a tape to his friend and DJ Andreas »ND« Baumecker, owner of FREUNDINNEN records, who worked in a record-store where the Playhouse guys used to work, too.
That was the beginning of some marvelous music by a guy named ISOLÉE.
The rest (»REST« PLAY CD 001 / 2LP PLAY 038) is part of electronic music history... web http://www.isolee.de/

Now, Derrick May may well have been scared and frightened, by the creation of Strings Of Life, but to this day, I still remember feeling dumbfound and confounded amongst the sweaty, hyped up crowd of people, whilst Derrick May played his Strings Of Life. The club went wild and for me, needless to say, I ended up on stage alongside Mr Derrick May with my mate, worshiping this DJ from Detroit! Hey! THOSE WERE THE DAYS MY FRIEND!

Sotu The Traveller

At 21, Sotu The Traveller is one of the youngest producers to release a full-fledged EP. Born in Haarlem, The Netherlands, he was in touch with music at an early stage in his life and decided to take on lessons in playing keys. His Turkish roots led him to replay what his peers played; both traditional and popular Turkish music. He went on to learn how to play (bass-) guitar and played in several live hiphop and reggea bands. Still in the middle of his teens he hooked up with someone who showed him the basics of creating beats using computer based applications, and from there on things evolved real fast. Being a quick learner, the result turned out to be heartfelt, jazzy and soulful yet rough around the edges. Besides working with a gang of different artists from Holland, he also worked on various commercial projects for major companies. Sotu, however, doesn´t feel limited to the country he lives in.He has worked (and still does) with many artists from NYC to Istanbul, but of course also collaborates with Dutch likeminds. Two trips to NYC led to the completion of some soulful material, and with help from Gregg Green, Maya Azucena, Hicoup and J.Keys, these international journeys ended up on his debut EP Daydreams.His organic sound will expand as he grows older and moves forward with other projects that are scheduled to come out in the near future. Besides his solo album, which he is currently working on, one of those projects is the 08Bar compilation album, which is an offspring of the 08Bar parties in Amsterdam (which he co-orgnanize) where aspiring producers are given the opportunity to shine by playing beats in the club. Also, he has ongoing collaborations with various MC´s and producers in Holland and the USA. With his capabilities of spotting samples and playing instruments, Sotu has no concerns for the future. The sound you will hear on his Daydreams EP doesn´t necessarily define what Sotu stands for. Consider it a preview of what´s to come! http://www.myspace.com/sotuthetraveller Here is an exclusive guest mix by Sotu The Traveller. Besides his solo Daydreams EP, released by Appletree Records, he recorded songs for many compilation albums including Brownswood Bubblers 2, 08Bar, Jazzadelic 07.02...

It's The Way She Walks.

A woman who walks with a seductive sway of her hips is unlikely to be ovulating, a finding that sheds light on the complex sexual signals that women give to men, New Scientist reports.

A team at Queen's University in Ontario, Canada, dressed female volunteers in suits which had light reflectors placed on the joints and limbs and filmed them walking in order to analyse their gait, the British weekly says.
The women also gave a saliva sample to assess their hormone levels.
Women who were in the fertile period of their menstrual cycle walked with smaller hip movements and with their knees closer together, the scientists found.
Forty male volunteers were shown the footage of the women and were asked to rate those with the sexiest walk. The winners were those who turned out to be in the least fertile part of their cycle.
The study appears to run counter to recent research that found men respond more readily towards women at ovulation. A US paper published last month found that lap dancers earn more tips during their fertile period than during the non-fertile part of their cycle.
But, the Canadian researchers believe, there is no contradiction, because a fertile woman gives out "come-hither" signals at close range rather than at a distance.
These signals come through scent molecules called pheromones and facial expressions. The proximity means a woman can vet a potential mate for fitness before allowing him to come close to her.
In contrast, men can pick up the attractiveness of a woman's walk from a long distance -- and a "sexy" walk, visible from afar, could therefore act as an unwitting signal to less appealing males.
So, having a less sexy walk at the time of ovulation gives a woman an evolutionary advantage: she can hide her fertile period from an undesirable man who might want to take advantage of her at the time.
The research, by Meghan Provost, is to be published in the US journal Archives of Sexual Behavior, says the report. It appears in this Saturday's issue of New Scientist.

Yoruba Music and Culture

Yoruba folk music is renowned for its advanced drumming. Although there are a plethora of drums the music is based mainly around the use of hourglass-shaped tension drums or dundun. It is this music that forms the basis of the West-African influence in diasporic musical styles typical of Latin America, the Caribbean and especially Cuba. The iyaalu is the lead drum used in a drumming ensemble; it is made to ‘talk’ in such a way that the sound of Yoruba, which is a tonal language, is skillfully imitated.
The music is largely devotional in that spirituality and ancestor worship lies at the core of Yoruba musical expression. The complex religious and philosophical system of the Yorubas date back thousands of years and, as a result of diaspora, has become influential throughout the Caribbean, many areas of Latin America and increasingly in North America and Europe. Believers consult divination specialists or ‘keepers of the secrets’, known as babalawo in order to commune with the spirit world. This practice and the philosophy associated with it, is known as Ifa.
As well as being inseparable from traditional spirituality, Yoruba folk music in its various forms is inseparable from regional distinctions within Yoruba land. In metropolitan cities European as well as Islamic and other Christian influences have been brought to bear in distinctive ways leading to the formation of more popular genres such as highlife, juju, Fuji and Afro-beat.

Back To His Routes

“I’ve worked with Solá for ten years on six albums and have found his technical skill unsurpassed. He is truly a master of his field and I look forward to his contribution on the next Jamiroquai project.” Jay Kay from Jamiroquai
Solá Akingbolá, long-standing percussionist with the international, chart-topping band Jamiroquai, presents a superb album of Yoruba (Nigeria) percussion. He finds his way back to his roots exploring the unique melodies, rhythmic structures and philosophical poetry of the Yoruba people. Solá Akingbolá has spent most of his life in London, UK, but his roots are in Oregun, Nigeria, where he was born to Yoruba parents. Describing his relationship to Nigeria as a musical odyssey in which he finds his way home via exploration of the unique melodies, rhythmic structures and philosophical poetry of the Yoruba people, Solá reveals his passion for the language of music:
“I was always seduced by the sound of the Yoruba language and the way it was expressed within the drumming. When a Yoruba drummer plays, it’s not just music: he’s talking, reciting, teasing, invoking and praising. These qualities open up other worlds of interest for me that go beyond music; worlds that lead me to history, to the essence of my people.”
Inspired early on by Afro-fusion bands like Fela Kuti and Manu Dibango, Solá’s first journey into Yoruba music was playing percussion and then kit-drum for fellow Nigerian percussionist Gasper Lawal of the Oro Band, who was also based in the UK:
“Gasper opened my ears and eyes to a rhythmic perspective that I always felt, but due to a lack of knowledge and technique was unable to realize. The first music I heard was Yoruba. It was inside the language I heard my parents speaking and pulsing through the drumming I soaked up as a child, listening to my dad’s favourite Yoruba artists: King Sunny Adé, Ebenezer Obey, Ayinla Kollington, Yusuf Olatunji and Haruna Isola.”

Entering the jazz scene in the early 90s with the Ronny Jordan band and then finding his feet for the last decade in the jazz-funk of Jamiroquai, Solá has toured the world and played innumerable major international venues. But no matter which route he takes as a musician he always returns to the same place - the tradition and culture that brings him home - Yoruba rhythm, language and poetry.
What's been said about this extraordinary percussionist
“Solá Akingbolá has to be one of the best percussion players I’ve ever worked with – tremendous feel and power.”
Al Stone, Producer of Jamiroquai and Björk
“With Jamiroquai’s Solá Akingbolá beating a funk-infused rhythm on percussion throughout, he truly and masterfully brought the congas to life with an intense passion.”
Rebecca Taylor, Drunken Werewolf Magazine

Milky Disco-Various Artists BUY

Variously referred to as Nu Disco or Cosmic Disco, it’s an underground scene that’s been getting bigger and stronger in the last couple of years. One of the key players, Lindstrom, is taking influences from across the dance spectrum, from dubbed out instrumental house, pitched down with added live elements to full on arpeggiated italo disco electronics. Lindstrom is only part of an ever increasing group of artistes who are choosing to explore these sounds. The whole scene has been hitting front pages in the last couple of months, on the verge of going over-ground with much media attention bearing down on the ‘Nu Disco Mafia’.

This compilation brings you the tracks that have helped define this sound. They’re all here from Morgan Geist’s spooky tribute to Black Devil as Jersey Devil Social Club. Black Devil themselves who provide a fantastic remix of In Flagranti’s ‘Nonplusultra’, Swedish sensations Studio with the stoned immaculate kraut rock inspired ‘Life’s A Beach’, Cornwall’s answer to Metro Area, Kerrier District aka Luke Vibert in league with Black Mustang dealing out the deadly dub vibrations, San Fran based Sorcerer with his mystic cosmic sound and Padded Cell’s steaming punkfunk disco.

From the deep atmospherics of Quiet Village to the Balearic vibes of the Idjut Boys epic rework of The Emperor Machine’s ‘Front Man’, the New York strut of Daniel Wang or the easy listening almost post rock sound of Lindstrom, there’s ample evidence of why this is the most happening sound around.

‘Milky Disco’ features exclusive tracks from Lindstrom (under his Six Cups Of Rebel alias), Sally Shapiro, Quiet Village. Kerrier District and Black Mustang along with rare tracks only ever released before on vinyl making this the quintessential cosmic disco compendium.

Adele- Hometown Glory

There are live versions of Adele performing Hometown Glory and a video to watch, however, I often like to close my eyes when listening to certain songs and create my own vivid, lucid apparitions. The words in this song enable me to do just that. She is such a genuine, down to earth person with a powerful voice.
