You better get born in someplace else...

I've been following the #dalefarm hashtag on Twitter quite closely this week (be prepared for actually shocking levels of racism and hatred, as well as a certain amount of sensible discussion, if you click the link) and it seemed appropriate to post this up... I've always thought the choice of words in this song is amazing, "you'd better get born in someplace else", gets at the fundamental level at which people's lives are fucked with when they're just trying to get on with them, but they don't happen to fit the mould.

Starting with the original, or at least a recording by the guy who wrote it: Ewan MacColl- Movin on song
My favourite version, Christy Moore is a legend Christy Moore - Go Move Shift
London anarcho-punks take on it Inner Terrestrials - Movin on song
and my own totally apolitical version from a few years back, sampling Christy Girl Robot - Go Move Shift

INSANE NEURO ACID ASSAULT: INDIAN JUNGLIST

I was searching for some more Indo-Neurofunk to follow up a posrt a while ago on East Stepper, but it seems that East Stepper is still the indo-neuro go-to guy if that's what you're after, but I did come across this in the process:

New Mix: andykisaragi LIVE in Falmouth!

aceeater & andykisaragi

So I was in Falmouth on Saturday night for some dancefloor-destroying action at Skank n Stomp... here's my set recorded live on the night

Download: andykisaragi live at Skank n Stomp

Tracklist follows...

East Stepper - Dilruba - INDO-NEURO-FUNK!

Check this: free release from East Stepper of an Indian Drum & Bass tune.. Well actually apparently it's NeuroFunk - but I'm no longer enough of a d&b head to correctly identify all its different flavours. Anyway no matter, it's a banger:

DJ Delay presents BEYOND THE KOLO!!!

Beyond the Kolo CD cover

My boy from Berlin DJ Delay has put together an awesome compilation, released this week: Beyond the Kolo. Check the promo mix:

BEYOND THE KOLO promo mix - free d/l (indiv. tracks out 20.09.10) by Beam Up & DJ Delay

This is a project which invited 9 different artists to interpret the Čačak Kolo (Serbia) in the context of their current musical direction.

Čačak kolo is the name of many Shope type dances found in Eastern Serbia, Northeastern Macedonia, and Western Bulgaria. They are characterized by their fast 2/4 metered music. Čačak dances are often referred to by the town or region from which they come.

Whilst this traditional tune is well known to anyone from the former Yugoslavia, this has not been a part of the handful of tunes, which have been remixed and re-presented in the last 10 years.

FLeCK, Joro Boro and Gypsy Syndicate give burning Dubstep remixes, with killer club tunes from DJ Superstereo, Unsoundboy, Gypsy Syndicate and DJ Delay. Tricky D stands tall with a Cumbia dub version, Curse Ov Dialect show their abstract Hiphop skills and Benjamin Skepper bows in with a tense Contemporary Classical piece.

It's all wicked - I've been banging the FLeCK and DJ Delay tunes for the past couple of weeks particularly, heavy dubstep and d&b vibes respectively, also loving the completely insane Gypsy Syndicate breakcore / balkan gabba mix, but haven't come across a crowd ready for it yet..!

Go buy:
Beyond the Kolo on iTunes

Secret Archives of the Vatican - Bruised Reed (andykisaragi remix)


(Image robbed from Brenda Howell cos I thought it was kinda cool. Sorry Brenda - but here's a link back to you!)

Here's a new remix from me... it's kind of a work in progress, but everything I do at the moment is kind of a work in progress, due to my convoluted mastering process involving listening on various headphones then burning to CD and listening on a car stereo...

SAOTV - A Bruised Reed (andykisaragi remix 0.2)  by  andykisaragi

UK Hip Pop gets awesome: Tinie Tempah!

So it seems I must be well behind the hype on this one since I first heard it on the Radio 1 request show, and every time I've put on Radio 1 since it's come one within 5 minutes... but daaaaamn this is an awesome track, surely destined for number 1?!?!
