Whattup Sub Swara-dom!?!?

Greetings from Eastern Parkway, BK where the cherry blossoms have given way to what feels like an endless string of 80 degree days.  It’s almost summer, and as a warmup to the huge grip of cross-country gigs we’ve got a-gwarnin, I figured i’d share with you a mix I just did for the Mo’Glo series KEXP/WNYC radio.  The SS live set has been getting a LOT more tribal what with Dhruva and I banging away on our drum pads, and this mix shows off a nice, vibey version of that.

Sub Swara Podcast 007 is Now Up

Sub Swara on tour with EOTO: 1st stop, Minneapolis!

October 15, 2009

THATS WASSUP

Yes yes y’all, the picture speaks a thousand words (though sadly none on our surprisingly-peppy rental Prius). Dhruva and I (Dave) recently did 3 shows across the Midwest with EOTO, featuring Jason and Travis from the String Cheese Incident on everything from Ableton Live to bongos to live drumset to synths to live edits via lemur. I gotta tell ya, i’ve played drums for almost 30 years and NOTHING i’ve seen comes close to Jason freaking out a room playing drumset, djembe, and Lemur.

So yes, completely next-level steez from our EOTO bredren. Dhruva and I arrived in Minneapolis slightly worse for the wear, courtesy of a tabla case with NO WHEELS and an almost-missed flight, but we were raring to go follwing the warm reception at the Cabooze and the really positive energy coming from Jason, Travis, and Chris, their homme du merch.

Our set was a rollicking affair, starting with some Sub Swara originals getting the live digi-dub treatment, going through some cumbia, ragga, soca and glitchy hiphop on up to dubstep, kuduro and points beyond with fresh heat from Joker, FSTZ, Octa Push and other bredren causing serious damage. We’ve recently added some live electronic percussion elements alongside the tabla, and were in a cavalier mood to just lay it all out– it must’ve worked because 10 minutes in, i looked up and the Minneapolis massive were HAVING it. MPLS crew, especially @mikethe2600king– we came in with our hearts on our sleeves and you guys threw down with us and then some. respect!

EOTO tore the roof off the club; they slinked through genres with real attitude, whipping the kinds into a frenzy, making it look like the cover of the first Youth of Today record. Amazing how the confluence of acoustic and electric is still so invigorating, and how dubstep is STILL the freshest thing. After a few hours rest and the NY times podcast (yes… nerd crew in effect), we packed it all up into our lil’ hybrid and pointed ourselves southwest towards Wisconsin…
