Sonar Barcelona a la carte 2006 a la carte mix
DJ /rupture and I have compiled a mix for the a la carte section of Sonar Barcelona 2006 of modern international urban beats.

Blentwell Mix 2006
"...a 36-track behemoth from international beat excavator Maga Bo, who laces his globetrotting kicks with grime, Brazilian hip-hop, breakcore, and even a sturdy chestnut from Horace Andy." - Earplug #67
"holy crap...I gotta step up- and announce I'm really feeling the Maga Bo mix (big up Blentwell)..." -- http://djripley.blogspot.com/2006/04/holy-crap.html

Lost & Stolen Goods - Sonar Calibrado Sound System.
(S)mashup of d&b, batucada, hiphop, Egypt pop, capoeira, samba and extra-broken beats in a borderless conundrum for the ears.
“I caught these guys – Filastine and Maga Bo – by chance at the Capitol Hill Block Party, rocking laptops in an impromptu setting on an old beater, wearing orange auto-mechanic suits and black masks. They were the most interesting act of the entire event. Their sound warps the boundaries among drill ‘n’ bass, Muslimgauze-style Arabic breakbeat terror, and early Meat Beat Mainfesto’s intelligent industrial funk.” -- Aug. 19, 2004, Dave Segal, The Stranger.

Mixed live in Fez, Morocco, May 30, 2005.
Hip hop ragga breakbeat DnB dub funk samba jazz soul grime and so on. From 125 to 67 to 118 bpm....
"I'll not go on too much about the artist/DJ responsible as i would heartily recommend you take a visit to his own site. I'm putting this mix down as the best of the year so far. Excellent stuff, have never heard music like it." - http://www.beatonic.co.uk/
Live Mix from Fez, Morocco, 2005 -- Tracklist

AudioFile Collective
"Do Not Spit Here and There; A Noise Primer on the Indian Subcontinent"
Recorded, manipulated and mixed by Maga Bo, Steven Miller and Filastine in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

"Field recordings! Don't make sense! Consumed as mp3 soundbites! But here we go: This bellringing rip, Puja, comes from the Audiofile Collective's Do Not Spit Here And There: A Noise Primer on the Indian Subcontinent.
This track, like field recordings in general, requires a different way of listening: things happen, but they don't tug with a song's plotted drama. (Dogs = music, cats = field recordings?) Listening to sound uncoupled from narrative expectations can be refreshing--signals drift in, bump & grind, slip away. Unlearns the way melody lines, beat drops, chorus- verse- bridges, chord changes, etc. condition our ears to expect certain flows and frame the interpretation of music/organized sound. Like that stuff you pour in your ears to make the hardened wax dribble out.
Do Not Spit combines untreated recordings (from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal) with respectful studio manipulation -- think of a sweaty non-white Lucky Kitchen album or a more documentary Sublime Frequencies release. I can't find the CD artwork anymore but the liner notes were smart, funny, and on-the-level. After reading them I had zero qualms about the American collective's ethnic soundgathering. They say: “this disc reflects the incredible density of competing noises while retaining the clarity and impact of the individual sounds that make up the din of South Asia.”
The CD is sold D.I.Y. from Post World Industries, purveyors of 'counter-hegemonic brown sound'." - Jace Clayton aka DJ /rupture, Feb. 16, 2005, Mudd Up!
