I wouldn’t ordinarily post promotional videos from Warp Records. But Brian blows this “interview” out of the water. I’d say more but I’ve signed a nondisclosure agreement.
Via Geeta, who wrote the 33 1/3 series book on him.
ALL FREE EVERYTHING: LERO LERO REMIX
Ok. I’m in a flood-the-market mode right now.
Fader just upped my LuÃsa Maita “Lero Lero” remix. You can grab it here.
LuÃsa performs tonight at SOB’s in Manhattan. You can’t sleep on voices this gorgeous.
& this Monday’s radio show is streamable:
tracklist
MAKE IT MOLASSES
Throw the jam in the molasses, kid. If you love me, throw it in!
Nicole Wray – Make It Hot (chopped & screwed)
Bury the guitar in the jam in the molasses, girl. Flow extra slow.
[audio:11 Sade-Flow.mp3]AALIYAH SWORDS
A divergent and passionate take on Aaliyah’s “If Your Girl Only Knew,” from the United Kingdom, a country that once taxed our tea.
[audio:5 – If Your Girl.mp3]Forest Swords – If Your Girl It’s from the album/ep Dagger Paths. Except for the titles, it’s an excellent listen: well-produced minimal GGD-inflected Americana as manufactured in Liverpool. Plus or minus a Joy Division dubstep remix.
LUISA MAITA REMIXED
LuÃsa Maita comes from São Paulo. She sings with a magic voice. Her recent single ‘Lero Lero’ is “a deconstructed samba about two friends from a ghetto on the outskirts of São Paulo who have each other’s backs whenever trouble arises.” Generally speaking, I don’t like samba. But I love this. You can download it for free.
I reworked ‘Lero Lero’ for the Maita Remixed CD, out next week. It’s a pleasure to step inside songs which are so well-built to begin with. You can stream and pre-order the results.
COMING SOON: JULIANNE SHEPHERD AND DAPWELL
Radio tonight! WFMU 91.1fm 7-8pm EST. I don’t actually DJ during my WFMU slot. But sometimes I do on other people’s: check this 20minute mix I just dropped on Tom Ravenscroft’s BBC show.
Then mark yr calendar-devices and alert yr social networks: next Monday, November 8th, I’ll be joined by guests Julianne Escobedo Shepherd and Dapwell (“the funniest Das Racist”). Brilliant writer and editor Julianne will be discussing her taste in current DANCE MUSIC & divas via special selection of tunes. As for Dapwell – call him the skeptic. Gonna be good! The October show with Victor and Himanshu of Das Racist was real nice…

Last Monday’s radio show: Monday October 25th – Rumors. A few Gregory Isaacs tribute songs, neo retro Peruvian chicha alongside vintage reissue Peruvian chicha, some ethereal Glasser, British people remixing each other, 16-ton cumbias rebajadas, and more…

QUESTLOVE, RUPTURE, WARHOL, ZOMBIES
Questlove + I will be DJing at Pittsburgh’s Warhol Museum’s 15th anniversary gala party this Saturday. Big times! Free zombie facepainting! Big tunes! Seriously, I’m a huge Warhol fan and ?uestlove is a living legend who also embraces weird punctuation in his name and Halloween means you can dress extra crazy, so let’s end with a choice Andy quote:
I have to go out every night. If I stay home one night I start spreading rumors to my dogs.
…followed by a picture of me and a video of Joanne watching some guy watch Andy Warhol eat a hamburger (there are a lot of these ):
SAHARAN CELLPHONES (pt 2) & DUTTY RINGTONES
So I’ve been thinking a lot about cellphones lately. Portland’s Gulls just did an edit version of one of the tracks from ‘Music From Saharan Cellphones’ which I’ll be playing on the radio show tonight. Along with a Rita Indiana exclusive, new Stuff From Europe, tribal guarachero, superdeep cumbia rebajada, and, as always, more.
More is my favorite type of music, actually. Then comes 128kbps, one of my favorite musical genres. We are releasing a compilation called New York Tropical in a few weeks. Lots of new material by myself + Matt Shadetek, Lido Pimienta, DJ Orion, Kingdom remixing Rita Indiana, and more! You can download the entire album as ringtones (iPhone, etc) right now.
moral of the story: tune in to Mudd Up! Wfmu.org 91.1fm nyc, 7-8pm TONITE.
[audio:https://negrophonic.com/mp3/SaharaEDIT_MIXX.mp3]Emsitka – autotune (Gulls edit)
In ‘Music From Saharan Cellphones’ the original tune is labeled ‘Niger – Autotune’. Chris from Sahelsounds has found out a bit more: the band is called Emsitka. They are indeed from Niger but live in Nigeria.
