The National Fanfare of Kadebostany - Songs from Kadebostany

Today something very special for your ears.

The National Fanfare of Kadebostany is the breathtaking outcome of electronic music genius Kadebostan's encounter with Belorussian acoustic chamber ensemble Rational Diet. Under the spell of their common love for discovering new ways of expression, they decided to create...a new country. Yes, a new country: Kadebostany! Entrusted with the mission of creating culture for this new land, The Fanfare enlisted the help of talented street musicians from neighboring countries to create a unique piece of music, an organically concocted mix of genres, influences and emotions tightly wrapped in an album with no frontiers.

The musical map of Kadebostany reads like a blueprint for non-electronic techno: hard-hitting yet welcoming like a village feast, cutting-edge yet simple like a long-anticipated hug. Violin, cello, piano, accordion, saxophone, bassoon, guitar, banjo, electronics, and the list goes on, there's no limit in this country!

Get the track "Kazak Rules" for free on soundcloud and have a listen to the album teaser because this is a crazy sound!

Nitin Sawhney - Last Days of Meaning - Remixes

I hope everybody knows Nitin Sawhney? In my opinion he is one of the greatest producers within the fusion of global sounds. His new album "Last Days Of Meaning" is out since june. It is not as experimental as his older releases and lesser influenced by electronic music but digging deeper into folk, soul and pop music. Nevertheless there are again some beautiful tracks and collaborations on this album, that will be definitely the right choice for a cold winter day, I believe.
For everybody who needs some more beats, there are some remixes on nitin's soundcloud page, including some dupstep and experimental electronica interpretations. These are available for free!

BLNRB - Welcome To The Madhouse

Today I introduce to you an interesting music project from Berlin and Nairobi. This is what they say about BLNRB: "Something happened during those long nights in Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa. Something new. It was a meeting of two aesthetics, two club music genres; in some way two continents. Three highly acclaimed bands from the world-renowned Berlin electronic music scene travelled to Nairobi, Kenya: Modeselektor a hyperactive breakbeat-duo, curious electronic producers Gebrüder Teichmann and Jahcoozi, the multicultural Star trio composed of Dubstep, Grime Rave and hyper-sonic Electronica. The goal was to find out what happens if one attempts to fuse the club cultures of two capitals in different parts oft he world. The name of the project became BLNRB, a fusion of the street-level abbreviations of the two cities involved. The international electro clubmusic scene has become all about the latest styles and sounds treated with the newest digital technology; ingredients are hard to find in Africa. BLNRB bridges this gap and opens a path into a new global clubsound. This is not about randomly sampling „African music“, this is about digging deep into the local Nairobi musicscene and building a new sound together with some awesome talents from the next generation of African musicians. The experience in Nairobi changed everyone involved and the results touch musicfans in both worlds: club audiences in Berlin and in Nairobi."
