Here’s the show from this week, will post tracklist tomorrow. Starting from a new one from Schlachofbronx (which I can’t stop listening to) we travel BACKWARDS IN TIME to take a look at the ingredients that have informed the development of Tropical Bass/Global Ghettotech/Cultural Smorgasbord Super Music. The show ends in 1898. Yeah, that’s right phonograph cylinders.
Big, loud show tonight. Thanks to everyone who listened. We’ve got TWO tracks each from Mosca Verde, 2562, Stylo G and the week’s big showstoppers: A Tribe Called Red (Get their new album for FREE). Ontario-based DJ collective bringing the sounds of Native American music to the dancefloor… with lots of screaming. Turn it up, and enjoy the bounce between these hard noisy tracks and the usual tropical tunes like Mavado and Burundanga. Okapi out.

Starting off with the mood-setting theme from Suspiria, grabbed from Ghostcapital’s Horror Movie Compilations (there are FIVE parts!). Lots of spacey downtempo and tunes for the cool weather this week. DJ Orion’s Boobachero mix is deadly, and can only be represented in part here, so check out the whole thing. New Four Tet track is killer, as are the new Amon Tobin Cuts. I’m also very fond of Stefski’s steel drum infused remix of one of my favorite dancehall tracks of late, Stinkin Rich.
