C156, live para mr.gasparov.com

This week we have a very special mix for you! It’s a live mix (as in computers, machines and violins) recorded by C156, a collective based in Barcelona which has been destroying dance floors in the last few months. They are unusual in the sense that their live is performed by four people simultaneously, playing synths, beat boxes, violin, percussion or voices. The result is a uniquely hybrid sound, with blends of Dubstep, Techno or Breaks, which is both intended for the dance floor as well as the brain!

So who are they? Non-other then Cauto (check his past interview & mix for mrgasparov.com), Dr. Res, The Gardener (AKA Amph) and Drome. If you live in Barcelona, or even if you don’t, it’s very likely that you heard their names, since all of them have been active in different underground fronts for many years. They now belong to the Disboot label/collective, a group of incredibly talented people who have been releasing some serious music lately.

Last year they released their first EP, which you can listen/buy here, and in February Disboot will be releasing the second C156 EP - 12″ and digital -, which includes the tracks ‘1,2,3,Oink’, ‘Can a Leprous be Trendy?’ and ‘Latin Mayhem’, all of which you can listen too in the mix below. I think in all of my last gigs I’ve played at least one of these tracks, so I’d definitely say that it’s very worth buying!

This time there’s no interview because there’s too many of them, but you can check Cauto’s interview since it focuses a lot on the C156 project. Moltes gràcies nois!

Mr.Gasparov/Ocvatpush - 1975 [steak001]

MR GASPAROV / OCTA PUSH - 1975, Steak House

Nos complace en DisBooT informaros este Ep de Mr. Gasparov & Octapush. 1975 es un tema que ha sonado mucho entre la crew de DisBooT y que por fín esta disponible en vinilo y mp3. Nos deja un regusto muy bonico

http://soundcloud.com/mrgasparov/mr-gasparov-1975

BOOMKAT SAYS:

“Monkeysteak’s long threatened Steakhouse Records finally precipitates it’s debut load with two tracks of hybrid dub-techno/2-step from Portuguese producers. Mr Gasparov hails from Lisbon and apparently uses a synth made from an old McDonalds till point, togther with graphics tablets and Midi-Controllers to manufacture a jumpy blend of hard-hitting subs and technoid 2-step on ‘1975′, think El-B meets Aphex Twin under a tropical sky. On the flip Octapush fuse UK Garage with skittering electronica and chanted tribal vocals on ‘Ai Nadia’, and itchin’ 2-step with female vocals on ‘Laika Likes It’. One for the rave, Dave, and fans of Untold, Atki2 or Bass Clef. Sick twelve!”

“La gente de Disboot está que no para, además de la inmimente publicación de las dos primeras referencias físicas del sello (dos pepinos dignos de ganar en cualquier feria agrícola), un ep digital de Suckafish y numerosos proyectos a medio/corto plazo… se traen a uno de los triunfadores del pasado Sónar, Débruit, uno de los beatmakers galos más en forma del momento. Junto a él estará Uxuka y Suckafish defendiendo los colores locales y un servidor, Chelis, defendiendo la bandera pixelada de Lo Fi Funk.

Será el sábado 7 de noviembre a partir de las 23.00 en el Culture World Trade Center) de Barcelona.” Robotdiscos.com

Auto-Vjing patch on quartz composer

Pensado para hacer visuales con el mismo ordenador con el que haces tu liveset de audio.

Patch construido en quartz composer donde hay un audio input, y se ha de configurar; clica en el actor del audio input y pulsa “patch parameters” para editar los controles , las opciones de hardware ..etc.

Es un patch que no pesa nada por lo que no hay problemas de cpu incluso con varios programas funcionando simultaneamente por lo que es bastante estable. Es un patch muy simple como para empezar a trastear con programas modulares (max/msp, pure data, isadora…etc). No hay más que seguir la señal del audio e imagen para ver como funciona. 100% modificable y copyleft.

El audio se divide en 3 grupos de frecuencias a las cuales responde con un color determinado . La cantidad de rayas responde al volumen de entrada y el color a la frecuencia. Lo ideal es routear el audio internamente (recomiendo soundflower ), pero también funciona con el micrófono del mac, por ejemplo de Ableton dedicar un envio a ext. out e ir a la configuración de audio en QC que hablamos arriba para selecionar la opción correcta.

Ah por cierto , quartz composer es una aplicación que viene dentro del sistema mac osx, creo que a partir del leopard 10.5, asi que abstenerse los wiiind-o-ws…

Filastine - Hungry Ghosts ( Cauto Rmx )[dboot002] 7 “
26.10.2009
The Third release from DisBooT, Barcelona’s subsonic flagship.
Filastine, globetrotting percussive beat-master and thrower of dirty bombs, presents ‘Hungry Ghosts’ perhaps the finest cut from his album ‘Dirty Bomb’, in a delicious collectable 7″ format for Disboot recordings. With fellow Disbooter Cauto working the B-Side remix, this release carries much more weight than it’s small format might suggest.
‘Hungry Ghosts’ eeks out of the speaker with stretched and warped melodies atop pumelling, percussive bass and drums. Filastine cuts, copies and mutilates the beat around the rapid fire vocals of Australian Wire MC, and Japan’s ECD to craft a song that transcends region and language to create something hybrid, global and incredibly danceable. Cauto’s remix re-dresses the song for the dancefloor, twisting the staccato riddims of the orifinal into a ghetto-tech / acid-tech sesnibility, guaranteed to ignite dancefloors from here to Timbuctoo.
When the going gets wierd, the wierd turn pro…+ info

Offshore - Black Destroyer Hill
28.10.2009
Offshore - presenting a new talent from the mean streets of Aberdeen, Scotland.
Offshore releases his debut single with Disboot recordings, the ‘Black Destroyer Hill’. Screwing together pulverating drums and wonky synthesizers, Offshore’s unique mix of hip hop, metal and aquacrunk set him apart from your standard beatmakers. From the lopey halfstep beats of ‘Black Destroyer Hill’ and the urgent dynamics of ‘Simsalabim’ this disc is tremoring with shockwaves of minimalistic hip hop riddims, cut apart by abrasive, metalic basslines and squashed synths.
Fans of Rustie, Jamie Vex’d and Hudson Mohawke will be grovelling at the heels of this burning hot disc, with it’s 3/4 circle hole sleeve designed and die cut by Offshore himself.+ info
