Gang Gang Rupture!

2009-09-06T11:38:00.000-07:00

Dj /Rupture is super dope and has insane knowledge of music and technical savvy has a producer. He, along with Matt Shadetek (equally dope) remixed Bebey by Gang Gang Dance. Both the original and the remix are amazing. Here's a link to download the Rupture/Shadetek remix and a sweet youtube video of a performance by Gang Gang Dance. (Also check out Rupture's podcast Mudd Up.)

So, I got this Mr. Vegas song, I am Blessed, almost two months ago and I had no idea it would occupy the number 1 spot on 5 different charts!! Mass appeal! A good jam and uplifting. Here's the official video and a download link.

2009-08-14T09:46:00.000-07:00

Ghislain Poirier has been killin hard these days with some serious soca bangers. Here's a more dancehall riddim remix he did for Busy Signal. Real dope. A good interview as well.

So here's the full Shakira video for she wolf. Super sexy. Check my earlier post on her to download the song. (p.s. In no way do I believe that Shakira is a fascist nazi evil raping she wolf like the one above, I just thought that the picture was ridiculously tuff and crazy...and it says She Wolf.)

Wine, let me see your profile!

Another joint from Januaryish still on the charts (Number 14 on the Soca charts) is "Fly Away" by Machel Montano ft. Collie Budz. Really dope. Romantic soca reggae style.

Still at the top to romp

2009-07-29T10:46:00.000-07:00

So this track from Vybz Kartel and Spice is kinda old (like January or something), but I was checkin the top 30 Dancehall charts in Jamaica and New York, and on certain charts, its still number one! I thought, what the hey, throwback post. Besides this joint is super sexy. Here's the video for the original and a DL link for the shittier remake they had to do cause of copyright. Read more about it on heatwave.(I'm assuming that the number 1 is the original with the Ne-yo beat)

Heres a link to an interesting article about how the said song is debasing women and how "badmanism and daggering" is hurting Jamaican culture. They are tryin to ban certain songs now. Jamaican Researcher

AFRI-LATINO!!!!!!! PUNTA!!!!!!!

2009-07-23T15:00:00.000-07:00

So I've been on the punta tip for a minute now and my last trip to centroamerica solidified it. Paul Nabor is from Belize and a punta legend. This video was taken from a concert in LA a fews years back and I wish I would of been there. So dope. I did an edit for one of his song's, "Niri" download it off the link. GARIFUNAS!!!

Pura Vida; Suiza de Centroamerica.

2009-07-22T09:12:00.000-07:00

It's summer and it's hot as hell right now, so I've been searchin out some good time summer jamzzz. Seeing as how I lived in Costa Rica which has a super summer vibe all the time and is "pura vida" I thought I'd start there. It wasn't as successful of a search as I had planned. I spent some time some time in Limon and that place is off the chains and all about the riddims, dance hall, and roots, but I couldnt find any of the bangerzz on the interwebs that I grew to love. I guess there too chilled out and havin such a good time they dont care to put their stuff on the internet. (im gonna make a call to some homies down there and some jamzz for later) But in the meantime, here is a Costa Rican hip hopper, (as the call them down there) with an oldie sumer time rap jam. (Castillo is his name, but I think he goes by Kingstar now)

Plus a hip hop group from Brazil I think, with a sweet samba/hip hop feel rapping about Costa Rica. (I think, my Portugese isnt up to par, but I swear he says Costa Rica Pura Vida either way its dope)

South Afrikkkkkkkaaaaaaa!

2009-07-18T15:25:00.000-07:00

So, I just got this South African All-Stars ep and it features 4 artist that seriously bang South African House jamzzzz! Jamzz by the fairly known Dj Cleo, Dj Fhiso, and my favorite jam is by Dj Christos and Shana. Some of the best house I've heard in a minute. Check it out.

Found this pic on masala and it is very fitting.

The Very Best

2009-07-15T09:21:00.000-07:00

One of the most exciting and interesting team producers right now is most definitely Radioclit. Their mixtape last year, The Very Best ft. Esua Mwamwaya, was one of my favorites. Esua singing over MIA, Vampire Weekend, and even Michael Jackson (the free willey song no less!) was an awesome world pop dance collage. Radioclit and Esua now have a new album with all original songs. Super dope!! They will be playin at the Echo Plex tomorrow here in LA so come on out and boogie.

Do you like wolves? Do you like booty?

2009-07-14T09:58:00.000-07:00

Me too, thats why I'm doin a post on Shakira's new song. She's got booty and her new song is called "She Wolf" Her new song is like a hott disco house joint with latin pop flair. Sounds dope to me. She hot and she wine. Check the preview of the wild video and DL the joint.

Con el Ritmo Africano

2009-07-13T17:12:00.000-07:00

I'm always intrigued by percussion and world sounds, especially Latin/Caribbean/African rhythms. It always get people dancin and booty bouncin. So rich in culture. Afro-Cuban Rumba is a perfect example. I was surfin youtube and came across this video. Super dope! I'm now workin on a Afro-Cuban Rumba dance mixxxx myself.

My other blog, superflously necessary, got all mashed up with music, politics, reviews, and random rants. I decided to start a new blog dedicated to music, dance, and culture. I'm leavin the politcal, Ron Paul lovin, new world order exposin, imperialism hatin entries to the other blog. Without further adu, let the music begin.
Nguzungu is a dj/producer duo based here in LA. Their music ranges from punta, to soca, to ghetto tech, all the way to r&b. Nguzunguzu just did a punta track with Maluca and it is getting some serious play these days. This couple is great to see live, often with their good homie Total Freedom, and they're super fun to eat tacos with. Here's a video they did for their flashing lights remix. check it and wine out.
