Brownswood Bubblers Five
Compiled by Gilles Peterson
Brownswood Bubblers provides a platform for unsung heroes and emerging talent from the Worldwide underground. The series distils the stream of exciting new artists that have become semi-permanent fixtures in Gilles’ playlists and DJ sets of late to create a suite of perfect bumps.
Now a brand new chapter in the Brownswood Bubblers Saga is expected to be delivered next week. Volume Five drops with a hefty thump in March, bursting at the seams with the finest flip-flop, sweet soul, gorgeous downtempo ditties and assorted exclusive Worldwide jam.
Electric Wire Hustle, Shafiq Husayn, Shuanise, Dam-Funk, fLako & Tokimonsta and Suzi Analogue collaborating as Analogue Monsta. All this and we’re only just scratching the surface!
Look out!
Shuanise - Kingdom (7”)
Shuanise gave me this lovely record at Eglo Records one year birthday at Plastic People the other night. With massive backing by the Eglo fam, she performed a few tracks, including Alailoye from the Voice Of Reason EP released on Up My Alley in late 2009. My personal favourite on the 7” inch, is ‘Catch’ produced by my homie Hubert Daviz.
I am very curious whats coming next. Big things for sure! But before that, cop the recent release and enjoy.
Kwatro x Dj LeFtOoo
Lève Tôt. This name should ring in your ears, if like your mama was calling for dinner. Everytime I hear Lefto in the mix, there is something I have never heard before and I am eager to find out more about that tune that keeps looping in my ear. He used to host ‘The Hop’ at Studio Brussels for many many years and now has his own show on Sunday between 20h - 22h.
Being so much in love with music, Lefto couldn´t resist starting to produce himself. Releases so far, include the Eardrums EP with Jerboa, a contribution to the Nine-compilation (distributed by Rush Hour) and a remix-album for the world-famous Blue Note-label. On ‘Out Of the Blue’ he and his long-time companion Krewcial are remixing some of their favourite tracks from the Blue Note vaults.
Amongst his fans, you’ll find Gilles Peterson, who praises him for his eclecticism and ultratight mixing-skills. He became an official resident for the Worldwide Festivals and a regular writer for the Brownswood Recordings Blog.
Its an honor to have Lefto for the entrée to a regular ‘Kwatro x Spinners’ musical journey, which will be enriched with exaggerative nice Artworks by the talented affiliate 96. Also enjoy the Wallpaper in our Free Treats area.
fLako Guestmix for Gilles Peterson Worldwide Radio
They say - Tracklisting from Gilles’ 670th international show, broadcast to the ends of the earth weekly via the radio and, of course, the internet. This week why not enjoy a monstrous exclusive from Ramadanman forthcoming on Hemlock, a dope collabo between Jose James, Jordana de Lovely and Taylor McFerrin, new remixes from Sbtrkt and Floating Points and a special mix from one of our favourite new beat conductors – fLako.
Dyno - Gum Dragon EP
Gent-based producer and Mac Fly owner Dynooo will release his debut Gum Dragon EP in collaboration with new Belgian label Digsville. It is centered around “Fuh Real” a track Dynooo recorded a while ago with Swedish singer Naboobia.
Dynooo’s work can be described as challenging electronic music inspired by tribal drums, crunk, dubstep, 80’s pop and folk. His crunchy, adventurous and often low-swung sound is as appealing as it is unique, which lends itself well as to why he’s often placed on the same roster with today’s most talked-about beatmakers.
I love it Fuh Real. Press Play once more. You wont regret.
