It seems like melting glaciers is not the only side-effect of the global warming: the music world is heating up at a fast pace and electronic music is becoming increasingly tropicalized! To capitalise on this worldwide phenomenon Nehuenand Suckafish P Jones, used to the tropical vibes of their homelands (Argentina and Australia respectively), have started a new night decicated to tropical bass music in Barcelona called Banana Empire. The first one will be tomorrow (25th of February) @ sala The Bus / Razzmatazz (same place as the mighty B·LOW) and will have Meneoand Face Ticas guests. Be there or be boring!
On the 22nd of December I wrote a post telling you about the incredible NYE bash we're gonna have in Barcelona @ Culture. But back then we still couldn't say who the special guest was... Now we can and guess what? The special guest is non other than Kid606!!! If the lineup before was already excellent, this makes it unbeatable! Simply put: be there or be square...
So to sum it up: Kid606, Cardopusher, Suckafish P Jones, Tuffist & Satta B, MC Stormy, Face-Tic and myself all playing in Room 1 and Ocho, Humo, Adriana Lopez, Noloop and J7XI playing in Room 2.
The night will go from 1:00 to 8:00 and will only cost €10 with 1 drink or €15 with 2 drinks.
Are you scared of being bored on new year's eve? Are you gonna be in Barcelona (or even if you're not...)? Do you like bass? Then I've got the perfect thing for you: Nuclear New Year @ Culture Barcelona (check the map here)! Initial lineup for this amazing NYE bash is: Cardopusher, Suckafish P Jones, Tuffist & Satta B, MC Stormy, Face-Tic and myself all playing in Room 1 and Ocko, Humo, Adriana Lopez, Noloop and J7XI playing in Room 2. Plus a big special guest which I can definitely assure you is really big
The night will go from 1:00 to 8:00 and will only cost €10 with 1 drink or €15 with 2 drinks.
This week there's a sort of Lisboa/Barcelona bass clash. Starting on Thursday with B·LOW #7, which will have very special guests Octa Push and then on Saturday off to my hometown for Bass Culture 2, a bass heavy event with local drum'n'bass legends Cooltrain Crewand Alif, and reggae bosses 3 Wize Men, Riddim & Culture and Selecta Alice. It's party time!!
Watch out, this man is dangerous! His name is Suckafish P Jones, he was born in Australia (at least his accent points in that direction) and currently lives a life of sonic crime in Barcelona, perverting all electronic music conventions to create a mad hybrid sound that fuses half of the world's music into what he calls border-crossing heavystep riddims around anthems of lashingly ironically abstract lyricism. The truth is his music, and consequently his live act, aren't lyrical at all... they're heavy, crazy (bordering on mental) and just plain fun!
So, you can download his latest Phantasmatica EP for FREE courtesy of our friends at Disboot! Do it! It's f*@king free man...
I just finished a new mixtape comissioned by Warface (Lisbon) and Basspaths radio show on Badmood Radio, hosted by DJ Buster. Warface also did a nice interview (in Portuguese) to go with the mix. It features some exclusive tunes and is a round up of my favourite sounds right now. Check it!
