RODRIGO GALLARDO. NGA KILI ME DASHURI DHE ELEKTRONIKE TE NGROHTE

Ndoshta ndotje e rrokur mire perpara tjereve, por sot te degjosh muzike elektronike me nuanca nga kultura e vendeve te Amerikes Latine eshte bere pothuajse norme ne qytetet e Evropes Perendimore (edhe pse ndoshta ketu ne Milano ndjekin modat me qorrazi se tjeret, po dua te them qe po funksionon me se mire kjo tendence).

Rodrigo Gallardo nuk ka nevoje per prezantime; eshte tashme ndoshta personi me i njohur njehere qe ndodhet mbrapa regjise se mixer-ave ne nje event Dj live me muzike elektronike underground.
E fillon rrugetimin e tij ne melodi si nje djalosh i shoqeruar nga charango (instrument muzikor amerikano-jugor) dhe zampoña (instrument i njohur ne zonen e Andeve vecanerisht) e duke kaluar neper shume shtigje muzikore ai zhvillon nje tingull ne kompozimet e tij te ngarkuar me ndikime te folklorit dhe elektronikes, si dhe kenga e lehte kiliane.

Ne “Minero” si dhe ne shumicen e gjurmeve, Rodrigo sjell mbi tryeze rendesine e kthimit ne rrenjet tona dhe te respektimit dhe mbrojtjes se tokes dhe burimeve natyrale (shembull, uji publik) nga duart e erreta te perparimit pa kufinje.
E kete e ben shoqeruar me ritme dhe tinguj bartes flamujsh te rene se ngakuar plot tradite e perkujdesje ne rivizitim te melodise (degjoni "Kalimera" dhe kuptoni pse nuk njeh me barriera kultuale ky artist).

Shto ketu bashkepunime me mikun Nicola Cruz (tjeter Dj famshem nga Kili) deshira behet e padurueshme!

OCEANVS ORIENTALIS - TINGULLI I RI EKLEKTIK QE SHOQERON MENDJEN (E ME PAS TRUPIN)

Part 1:
Shpesh qellon qe udhetoj per pune (gati cdo jave) ne Mynih, Gjermani; ore te dedikuara vetvetes e sahere verej cfare ndryshon neper aeroporte e menyra ne sherbime. Per tu admiruar rigoriziteti dhe korrektesia e popullit! 

Muzika qe me ka shoqeruar perhere ka qene ajo e Kraftwerk dhe sidomos nje nga gjurmet me te bukura per mua ishte "Das Model"; dihet qe Kraftwerk, si gjeni, luanin muziken e kohes, paraprirnin modat post-industriale, shenonin me gdhendje asfaltin e autostradave te para, kompanite qe prodhonin kushedi se cfare, mjetet e trasportit, evenimentet madheshtore, arritjet teknologjike, modelet e dekades, rrymat socio-politike te elites evropiane...

Part 2:
Turqia e Gjermania se c'kane dicka kerthizore qe i lidh dhe ja ku nje dj, me te drejte, egocentrik, mendon se cdo tingull e ka prejardhjen nga Lindja. 

Kaq eshte dhe pike! E veshtire te mos jesh dakord...

Mjaft te luash rolin e nje akumulatori historik te muzikes nga toka nga ku vjen!

Oceanvs Orientalis mbeshtjell mbetje tingullore mid-orientale, rrallehere otomane (edhe pse turk vete), ne nje "pasdite muzikore me qiell te kthjellet - e hapur per te gjithe".

Mes pajtimit me te rinjte (e jo) qe kapin mesazhin e ndjejne bollekun e tingujve te ngrohte tek per tek, afrohesh ne nje lloj ekstaze ere trandafilash mengjesore, edhe pse tashme nata ka pershtjelle oborrin e shtrenjte e dritat e impianteve te Safak Oz Kutle (ve disqet!) jane zbehur mjeshterisht nga tymi e dendur nga avulli human i larmishem...
I mireprituri nga Lindja!

  

KOTTARASHKY - VINTAGE BALKAN FROM A NIGHT'S WALK THROUGH THE STREETS OF SOFIA

"What you hear feels like a dislocated dream ride through the pungent soundscape of night-time Sofia."

  

Kottarashky (Nikola Gruev) is a 21st century digital master musician with his hands sunk deep in the past; vintage Balkan field recordings, classic jazz and blues, psychedelic sounds, club beats and extraordinary, archetypal Gypsy voices, guttural shouts and lyrical laments are all molded and thrown into new shapes.

The songs of his debut album Opa Hey! (2009) sound like tales told by a people who have all the time in the world: time to contemplate, enjoy, engage and dream; to take pleasure in unexpected twists and turns; to be inspired by the details and vividness of marginal existence.

The music on Opa Hey! is completely constructed from samples. Quite impressive as the result sounds like a fine mixture of balkan music, gypsy jazz and club beats.

 

Kottarashky is an architect by vocation, which perhaps explains the palpable sense of place in his music. Summer trips to small villages and the marginal regions of Bulgaria were key source of inspiration for the album, and his music samples a broad palette of sources and influences - enigmatic field recordings by artists unknown alongside Boris Kovac, Les Yeux Noir, Fanfare Ciocarlia, Jony Iliev and compelling Hungarian singer Mitsou.

The resulting digital pick-and-mix hits you like a panoramic puzzle of sounds collected and put together from a night’s walk through the streets of Sofia.
It is an ethno-music born of a city lacking cultural identity that is torn between contemporary European globalism, Balkan provincialism and a living if largely forgotten folk tradition. It’s a music inspired by that environment but also in reaction to it, a journey down roads less travelled, through the Bulgarian backwoods and back via the laptop to the 21st century.

KUTMAH - UNDERGROUND AND ABSTRACT [FROM A DJ SKETCHBOOK]

When talking about Kutmah, it’s tempting to use an epithet such as “the best DJ you’ve never heard”, or “best kept secret”.

Justin McNulty was born in Brighton, England to an Egyptian mother and Scottish father. He moved to the United States when he was 12 years old and grew up in Hollywood, California. It was here where Justin became Kutmah and ultimately made a name for himself as a talented underground artist and DJ.

Kutmah became a member of LA’s dublab collective and then in 2004 he founded the celebrated clubnight ‘Sketchbook’ which forged fundamental roots of the now-infamous LA beat scene.
As an associate of Flying Lotus’s Brainfeeder collective, his mixtures from his time spent on the West Coast are legendary amongst those that know, and he’s also released several of his own original records; even though he’s predominantly a DJ, with foundations in hip-hop ('Dirty Otis') and a record collection that spans far beyond the genre ('Shake').

Now that boilerroom.tv recorded him playing live, it is unnecessary to admit for sure; Kutmah  - one of the best underground music experience!

FRENIC - 'HOW YOU FALL' [NIGHT WALK IN THE PAST, 2012]

Important is how you fall, isn't it?

GASLAMP KILLER - 'NO BLOOD IN BONE, BY POPPY FAMILY'

Marie now walks, her life is sleep.
She never looks above her feet.
She never smiles, nor does she speak.

When Joey died, Marie went mad
She'd given him what life she had
She'd helped him fight and shared his pain
Her very blood was in his veins

But there's no
But there's no
But there's no
There's no blood in bone...

 

 

THE AVALANCHES [SINCE I LEFT YOU, 2010] - KY DISK DUHET TE ISHTE NE KRYE TE KLASIFIKIMIT TUAJ...

Te thuash eshte nje kryeveper eshte ta minimizosh ceshtjen!

Ky album, me te cilin kam flirtuar shpesh gjate oreve te pasditeve dhe neteve kur kisha nevoje te hutohesha nga gjera te vogla e te thjeshta, ka materie te cmuar. Oh, po. Tmerresisht te nenvleresuar! Por, me mire keshtu.

Australiane qe luajne muzike ne pjata (6 dj me prejardhje muzikore nga me te ndryshmet) perpunojne kampjone (gjithsej 900 pjese unike!) nga disqe te meparshem ku me e bukura eshte se dallohen qarte refrenet me te njohura; Peter Gabriel, The Cure, Daft Punk ('A Different Feeling'), Air, Kid Creole and The Coconuts, Madonna e shume te tjere...

Cilesia e tyre qendron ne faktin se kurre nuk e konsiderojne serioze (humor of The Avalanche) punen e stramire qe bejne (produktin qe prodhojne ne 2010, dmth albumin DUHET Since I Left You, 2010) dhe megjithate, kurre nuk bien ne ekzagjerimin monoton te tingullit tashme-te-degjuar, materiale bajate te perzier etj...

Pop modern, album qe te rikthen te qeshuren ne fytyre, pas nje dite te lodhshme, por qe meriton me shume se kaq; ka per te gjithe ketu njerez! Hip-hop inteligjent qe fluturon lart ('Flight Tonight'), prerje-ngjitje nga vinile me plot bindje retro black ('Stay Another Season'), zhurme sfondi, noise, regjistrime live nga artistet pjesemarres ne studios, ritme te kercyeshme ne vetmi ne erresire (monumentalja 'Close To You'), per tipa rastafarian, old disco ('Radio'), elektronike per lounge ('ETOH'), rap bashkekohor i kendshem per tu imituar, western klasik i pershpejtuar nga nje dj me ngjyre ('Frontier Psychiatrist'), minigjurme elektronike futuriste ('Electricity') etj etj...

Ne fillim mund te duket nje album sikur e keni degjuar tashme ne te kaluaren (nje deja-vù), por me besoni: NUK eshte aspak keshtu. Mund te zbuloni detaje e mbi/nen/kalime te fshehta qe iu shpetojne ne kete loje dixhitale muzikore.

Gjithesesi, udhetim te mbare te gjitheve ju ndjekes! Per mua eshte 9.5/10. Kapeni ju tani!
