Rupture is off-the-grid tonight, still in Mexico, where this weekend he performed alongside Adrian Sherwood, Mungo’s Hi-Fi, and various local DJs and bands at the Mictlan Dub Festival. I’m holding things down tonight 7-8PM on Mudd Up! radio on WFMU 91.1 fm in NYC. It’s cold and rainy (just miserable weather here) in NYC, tune in, throw in comments, questions, get involved, heat up. Again, tonight @ 7PM.

Clipse – Showing Out feat. Yo Gotti

Just got a hold of this quasi-new set from Appleblim and Wedge, recorded on sub fm. I hadn’t heard of Wedge before, but am feeling his production, more of this post-dilla, slowish dubstep kind of thing that keeps popping up. It’s a little reminiscent of darkstar. Nice to hear radio sets where the djs are blatantly having a laugh in the studio… Vibes!!

lucky dragons

Lucky Dragons’ performances overturn conventions of electronic music with generosity and grace. On Monday October 12, they will join DJ Rupture to share sounds and discuss the relationship between social and sonic experimentation, Los Angeles, erasing the barriers between performer and audience, and more.

(Also, something I’m aware of but completely forgot to mention:) Lucky Dragons opened for Thom Yorke’s new band debut (both nights) in L.A. last week!! You know, that new band that also features Flea of Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Thanks to Big Brother Rupture for the reminder!

…and on Tuesday LUCKY DRAGONS will perform @ Industry City out in Sunset Park, BROOKLYN.

Antipop Consortium – Fluorescent Black 5 Minute Teaser Mix

…followed by Buffie The Body and two symphonies

[audio:http://nyc.duttyartz.com/mp3s/Volcano.mp3]

I love this album. It drops next Tuesday. Anti-Pop Consortium will be joining us for a live broadcast Monday, the eve of the album’s release, on Mudd Up! with DJ Rupture on WFMU 91.1 fm. Rupture and I will talk with Beans, HPrizm, M. Sayyid, and E. Blaize about their music, influences, history, lyricism, technology, afrofuturism, their insane live sets, etc. plus we’ll be playing some exclusive selections from the group. It should be tremendous!

jesus interrupted

Today is Eid, Ramadan just ended. Monday’s radio show – WFMU, 91.1 fm 7-8pm – will feature some celebratory music from Muslim areas of Africa and beyond, as well as the usual helpings of new heat & decentertainment. Kayne probably would interrupt Jesus, but that’s another story.

In addition to the Ramadan-y special, we’ll unleash some previews from Anti-Pop Consortium‘s upcoming album, Flourescent Black, (their best yet, for real), and I’m pleased to announce that NYC’s legendary rap innovators will be joining Lamin & I live on-air next Monday, September 28! We’re gonna rap about rap, music, afrofuturizm, and much more, alongside an all A.P.C. selection of exclusives and influences. Should be big!

djbeto

Tune in Mudd Up! with DJ Rupture on WFMU tonight at 7PM, as Roberto Ernesto Gyemant aka DJ Beto, the man responsible for putting together those wonderful volumes of 1960s and ’70s “cumbia tropical & calypso funk” from Panama, joins Rupture to talk and share some incredible music (most likely some exclusives that are not included on the comps.) The compilations are released on Soundway Records.  I am especially looking forward to the talk and the music Beto is going to play for us. I have been fascinated with the music of Panama ever since our visit from Wayne Marshall and Raquel Z Revera. They highlighted the unique position of the Central American country and its lasting contribution and shaping of Reggaeton and our current urban soundscape.  (Missed it? It’s streaming here.

Gnonnas Pedro & His Dadjes Band – La Musica en Verité

This is from Analog Africa‘s latest compilation of incredible/obscure/forgotten 1970s West African dancefloor masterpieces Legends of Benin. We play sweet, deep throwbacks like this one every Monday 7PM to 8PM Mudd Up radio with DJ Rupture on WFMU 91.1 fm (listen from the archives)– stream, or get podcast. “La Musica en Verité” is the amazing closing track on Legends of Benin. It’s an inviting and inspiring jam, calling you, telling you to get on the floor and shake your bones a little before the party ends, but I’ll manage to squeeze it in among all the fresh, happening raps early @ NYT9 this Friday!

GETTIN’ BLACK AS I WANT!

[audio:http://nyc.duttyartz.com/mp3s/MosDef-Revelations.mp3]

Mos Def – Revelations

“Revelations,” a mellow and extraordinary post-Obama, ridiculously pro-black, one-verse track with shots directed at the CIA, the US Federal Reserve/bankers/money-grubbers, doubters and none-believers, the recession, race, violence, etc. New York has been very hot and sticky lately, and Mos Def‘s latest album The Ecstatic has been in heavy rotation, especially the tracks with themes that are seemingly nonsensical/irrational/unhelpful for the times we are in. Just yesterday, we played two cuts from it on WFMU’s Mudd Up! with DJ Rupture. While we’re talking Mudd Up! radio, here are two more joints Rupture played (on his first and in all likelihood last cumbia-free show)  – another Mos track titled “Wahid”, and a song by “the most unusual star on the planet” (at least, that’s what he, himself claims.) Please check out Dan Hancox 10 Essential Wiley tunes on Fact Magazine, timely reminder of why the tireless genius can’t be stopped.

Chief Boima will be joining DJ Rupture, on what appears to be the 2nd anniversary of Mudd Up with DJ Rupture on WFMU this Monday, July 6th at 7PM. Chief Boima, an interesting, emerging voice in African diasporic music is based in San Francisco, California, where he organizes a weekly party Descendants United, and a monthly party The Highlife. He also produce music under his name, as well as in the groups Banana Clipz, Beaten By Them, and Chief y Chango. He will be discussing production influences and playing the sounds he’s currently into, everything from Ivorian Coupe Decale and Senegalese Hiphop and Mbalax to Nigerian Club, Angolan Kuduro, South African Kwaito, and the Sierra Leonean sounds he’s been specifically digging. Yeah, it’s a lot, so tune in!

Here’s an hour long mix Andy did for London’s Diesel U:Music Radio. Grab your passport.. we’re going all over the place. This one is a trip, all sorts of unexpected and pleasant stops — Soca, Dancehall, Merengue, Bullerengue, Coupe Decale, Zouglou, Funana, Punta, Dubstep, Crunk and Enjoy!

Judicious use of pause-button edits strike Geko’s dodgy male MC choices mostly from this historical record; everything I rip from the radio gets the same merciless treatment. (The historical record is meant to be scratched.) Mr Jones might gift us his entire set, but it’s been two weeks so here ya go, consider the fire lit… Live NYC radio at a particularly hot moment.

Starts with acid cumbia. About halfway through its just a stomping beat with someone yelling “boozooka!!”

Geko Jones – live on 91.5 FM NYC

Rivera cover front

This book is great – but you can hear for yourself next week!

On Wednesday, May 6th, 7-8PM, Raquel Z. Rivera and Wayne & Wax, co-editors of the new ‘Reggaeton’ book, will be joining me on my weekly radio show (WFMU 91.1 FM NYC, streaming worldwide, no te lo pierdas!).

From Panamanians to Playeros to post-DemBoleros, they’ll be spinning rarities alongside lively discussion of the genre’s complex roots and current possibilities.

Then the next day, Thursday May 7th, catch W&W turning up the tropical pressure at QUE BAJO in APT, Manhattan, after a 6:30pm book release party @ Hunter College. Todo gratis!
