Speaking of Cumbia
The sounds of Central/South American cumbia have become a bit of an interweb phenom over the past year. This is no doubt due in large part to the extensive coverage on /rupture’s Mud Up blog. There’s now a steady stream of underground, electronic-dance-music influenced (less folk/traditional instrumentation) cumbia tracks bubbling up, and the Buenos Aires, Argentina-based crew Zizek Urban Beats…
Cumbia De Obama
/rupture scooped this one. Our old friend and comrade in Toneburst, Rafi B and his band Fosforo drops what I assume is the first cumbia campaign song for Obama. [youtube reBk_vc0EC8] MP3 download and lyrics ->

Track of the Week: “Somebody’s a Flirt”
I wanted to have some new music for the FlosstraPROMus party; something at least slightly Valentine’s Day themed since the party fell on Feb. 14 (pictures here and here). What better combination than some adrenaline infused bassline-house with local Chi-Town hero R. Kelly’s vocals on top, I though to myself. Perhaps the lyrics to I’m a Flirt don’t capture the…
Track of the Week: Ghislain Poirier “Madder Dan Dat” Remix

Ghislain Poirier, DJ C, Murderbot, Zebo @ SubT, Chicago
Ghislain Poirier (Ninja Tune, Montreal) Saturday, March 8 @ Subterranean With DJ C, Chrissy Murderbot, and resident DJ Zebo Here’s what the press are saying: Canadian beatmaker Ghislain Poirier offers music to suit many tastes, but whatever he touches ends up with overflowing bass and plenty of bounce in the rhythm. Hailing from the musical incubator known as Montreal, he…
Happy 15th Birthday, Jungle
I was just checkin’ out this site called Golden Era Jungle and realized that this year marks the 15th birthday of Jungle. There are a whole bunch of 1993 mixes by DJs like Krome & Time, Remarc, and the one below by Dr. S Gachet. In Gashet’s 1993 mix you can still hear a lot of early hardcore rave music…
Track of the Week: DJ Flack “That Sound”
DJ Flack and I often reminisce about the era when 2-step garage was pop music in the U.K., and though many of the big hits there were on the R&B side of the fence, our faves were the ragga and dub influenced tracks like the ones on the 2001 compilation Garage Dubs — an obvious precursor to what would become…
