Yes Gang! As we’re back in town from a few crazy weeks of shows, from Hawaii to NYC to Colorado to Northern California– I figured now was as good a time as ever to share some of the wicked music that’s come our way, especially since we missed the May podcast. Too much travel! and thus I offer this quick jaunt through some summery vibes,starting with Pariah’s “Detroit Falls,” which has been rocking our world so much that it was time to represent; it moves into a cut from our West coast bredren Heyoka’s new record, Cosmic Boogie. Up next is the Balkan/Cumbia/Israeli/Brooklynite jam “Balkumbia” from Balkan Beat Box, followed by our World Cup-approved (!) remix. Grab it for free here at the website! Taking a trip on an afrobeat flex, we present Part 1 of Falty DL’s unreleased “Mean Streets” project. Groove galore, which feeds into some new-school/old-school pressure courtesy of Kush Arora feat. dancehall DJ extraordinare, Mega Banton flexing strong on Kush’s “Spanish Wall Street” riddim. Brooklyn Afrobeat takes the stage with a classic cut from Anitbalas, followed by a new single from Bowly on Berkane Sol. Rounding it up we’ve got San Francisco’s DJ G with the inimitable “Time is the Fire.”

Pariah: “Detroit Falls”

When Balkan Beatbox asked us to remix one of the tunes off their brand new album, we were thrilled. They’re one of our favorite bands and anyone who’s seen them live knows that their energy is relentless. We flipped the horns into bizarro world and injected a big lo freq tom riddim-driven push into the jam and laced it with a live surf rock drum break (amongst many other twists and turns). Yup. Here’s Sub Swara’s remix of Balkan Beat Box’s ‘Balkumbia’. Download it for free below. (And if you haven’t checked out the original, be sure to peep it out here).
