IBERIAN JUKE NIGHT 1.0 @ BARTS CLUB (Barcelona) 04/07/15

" Durante el año 2014 algo empezó a cambiar en la escena electrónica nacional, con cada vez más productores y dj’s interesados por el sonido footwork/juke llegado a Europa desde Chicago unos pocos años antes.

Lo que se inició como un grupo en las redes sociales para compartir intereses comunes en la escena, derivó en el lanzamiento a principios del 2015 del recopilatorio Iberian Juke Vol. 1 (http://iberianjuke.bandcamp.com/releases), creado para saciar el hambre de la escena nacional por los 160bpms y el trabajo de pies.

Productores de renombre en nuestro país como Bsn Posse, Skygaze, Mario Nieto, ¥€$Ø, Clima o Sandro Jeeawock participan en este primer volumen ofreciéndonos una interpretación personal de este estilo que cada vez cuenta con más adeptos en la península.
Pero esto no termina aquí; un segundo volumen ya está en preparación y se espera su lanzamiento para después del verano.

Iberian Juke Nights nace como punto de encuentro donde destacados representantes de la escena footwork nacional e internacional se reunirán para dar rienda suelta a los instintos más primitivos de baile, fomentando el trabajo de pies y transportándonos de alguna forma a los guettos de la ciudad del viento.

Para esta noche de estreno contaremos con los embajadores por excelencia del footwork en nuestro país, Bsn Posse. Los malagueños están teniendo un 2015 espectacular que culminará el próximo día 13 de Julio con su debut en formato largo para SlimeRecordings (“Forever”, SLM138). Aparte de participar en el primer recopilatorio con el tema “Never Never”, en los últimos meses el dúo formado por Broken Lip y Stay Puft ha sacado un puñado de remixes en sellos de referencia como Dred Collective, Seclusiasis o Hyperboloid; además de firmar varios mixtapes para algunos de los mejores blogs y podcast a nivel internacional (Interlude de Ashes57, Footwork Jungle, Juke Bounce Werk, Juno Download).

Como acompañantes de lujo al dúo de Al-Andalus en esta noche de estreno tendremos a la rusa A. Fruit, que hace unos meses hacía su debut en Sequel One Records con el EP “Far Out”, en el que la productora integra varios estilos dentro del sonido footwork con gran maestría; y el productor de origen colombiano afincado en Barcelona Aku, que participó en el primer recopilatorio con el tema “Give me some” en colaboración con 7th Sense y que se estrenará próximamente para su sello True Colors Recs con la primera referencia “Lifted EP”.

Completan el cartel Daddy-Panda, Perez, Rumbler y Dbdlr, representantes locales de la escena y miembros del colectivo Ciento Sesenta. "

Off Sonar Party 17 June

Taking place within the Sónar festival week, Delicatessounds is hosting a very special night for all avant-garde sounds fans. 

The style known as footwork/juke, emerged from the ghettos of Chicago two decades ago, is no longer unfamiliar in Spain and the proof is the large number of national quality proposals that have emerged lately, culminating in early 2015 with the release of the first compilation 100% made in the Iberian Peninsula (Iberian Juke Vol. 1). 

For this special night, we will have two of the strongest European names who are pushing forward the scene.

Addison Groove (50Weapons, Tectonic Recordings, Swamp81), well known star of British bass music that last year published in 50 Weapons the acclaimed "Turn up the silence" which paid tribute to the sadly gone DJ Rashad, including a mutual collaboration, the track "U Been Gone".

For this special night, Addison Groove will perform a special two-hour set focusing on the juke sound. 

From Norway, Slick Shoota (Mad Decent, Ball 'Em Up), another European standard of the Chicago sound and whose productions are being played by most of the top footwork dj’s worldwide. 

He has already published for labels like Loose Squares, Apothecary Compositions (Keep bussin 'EP including Addison Groove remix). 

Will complete the night, Perez, Daddy-Panda, Rumbler and Dbdlr, representing the local Ciento Sesenta crew that is hosting 160 parties in the Barcelona province.

CINE PARA CIEGOS - Vasudevah

"Audiodescripcion dadaista de fotogramas subconscientes"

"CINE PARA CIEGOS es un trabajo conceptual sobre cine, un collage surreal de las imagenes grabadas en el subconsciente por los films que he visionado en mi vida y han dejado alguna huella, conexiones casuales de los sentidos de estas, un ejercicio de anti poesia referencial."

Midnight Drummer by JAONA - How to combine elegance and club.

" The first release to kick off Clubwerks, Origami Sound's imprint dedicated to distinctive, genre-free club material is by a 19 year old French prodigy who grew up in Manchester and is currently studying Jazz Performance at the prestigious Julliard University in NYC - JAONA, one of the most exciting producers to join our crew of hugely gifted new talent. 
The difference between average producers and great ones consists in knowing how to arrange melodic and rhythmic stimuli in extraordinary ways; our boy JAONA is a champion at conjuring the most refined sensorial scenery inside each of his tracks and have fun with it too. All the music on this EP is entirely stand-alone, furiously creative and catchy in the most subtle ways. 
This mini-album should be more than enough to get an idea of what Clubwerks is about. "

Fabel - Sinestesia

"The Fabel sound is constantly morphing through stages. From the warmth and familiarity of a “wish you were here” family photo to the depths of an icy dubbed out dream were the lines are constantly blurring. Fabel’s latest album, Sinestesia takes you through the spectrum of his sonic world.

Hailing from Barcelona Spain, Fabel is a sonic storyteller and multi-instrumentalist, as prolific on the keys as he is on the bass. Sinestesia is full of Fabel’s signature electric piano solos and his complex baselines of labyrinth style funk. His production is a true fusion of raw live sound with modern detailed digital synth and percussion.

Accompanying Fabel on a few tracks is the lovely finesse of Dutch Harpist Anne Vanschothorst and the Bluesy Guitar of Barcelona’s Ian Currie. Both are musicians Fabel has been jamming with over the last years, with many of those improvised elements have woven their way into the album. On songs like the majestic “Here once stood Elms” and spell bound down beat of “Where’s Mo”.

Sinestesia has many faces but there is logic to the journey, the listener is encapsulated in the mood bluesy atmosphere, leading you down a winding road of crafted electronica and around each bend to melancholy depths and ethereal highs."

Next Fabel's album, Sinestesia, out later this fall on Haunt Music.

JD. Reid - Maneki Neko E.P

"London based producer JD. Reid steps up to the platter with a bevy of beauties for his Terrorhythm debut, in the shape of the Maneki Neko E.P. released 7th April 2014

This 5 track E.P. coolly connects the listener with JD's ear for soulful sonics, tinged with sub rumbling bass.

Having been hotly tipped as one to watch at the tail end of last year after the success of "88", and his productions for UK Hip Hop stars Piff Gang and ItsNate, there was always a high expectation of something really special to come in 2014. Opening up with "Ralph", it's evident that that special something has announced itself. Joining the dots between grime and instrumental hip hop, with a nod to the LA beats movement, the E.P. continues to dazzle throughout it's journey.

In a time when it's becoming difficult to discover truly unique music, JD. Reid delivers on all fronts. Don't sleep on this one!"

Circula : One to watch

"In just a few short years Circula has come along way. Although always a fan of electronic music in the form of early garage and classic Hospital Records releases, the Berlin based talent only started producing more recently. Inspired by the freeform nature of jazz greats like Miles Davies and more contemporary champions like Robert Glasper, his rhythmically playful sounds have so far come on labels like Future Grooves and Disco’s Dead Records.
Fusing tough basslines with organic percussion, broken beat patterns with complex melodies his sound is one that’s both physical yet emotive, deep yet driving. As a DJ, Circula has played across Europe and the UK with the likes of Darksky and Applebottom. “I am very much interested in stripped back sound system music,” he says. “And when making dance tunes I always try to nail just a few elements along with a strong bassline.” That connection to sound system culture is made more explicit when you learn that Circula co-owns his own sound system in Totnes in the UK. It’s been host to many a great party and is growing in popularity with each one, much like Circula himself."

Mix & Interview for Dusk FM

RISIN SOUND - VAR⋅I⋅A⋅BLE

"The first of Risin Sound’s free compilations brings VAR⋅I⋅A⋅BLE - an eclectic mix of music from some of the freshest artists currently plying their trade in the realm of electronic bass music.

The Void Productions collective were heavily involved, as the forward thinking nature of likeminded producers: Endaf, Mesijo, Kapture and Whattsun certainly helped exhibit an element of coherence as the styles and feeling presented in each track compliment each other well.

Wancho, Nightizm, Lindo Man, and the Wonky Clock/Rogan collaboration are all artists with close links to Risin Sound, and were all happy to contribute to a progressive free EP release.

It wasn’t clear until the project came together how all the tracks, and EP direction would sound and

how it should be packaged, but as it became clear about the potential of the music, it also became

clear that the varied nature of the release was quite special.

This eventually led to the name of the release, which fits nicely into the ethos of Risin Sound, and how they would like to move forward in 2014 – with the idea of fluctuating styles of bass music being at the forefront of their evolution."

Delicast 10 : Dylan C

In 2013 the release of the cassette double album Samsara : Causes & Conditions for Holodeck Records brought critical acclaim from around the world to this underdog artist.
