«Globalists» Seek Peripheral Sounds | Norient.Com 1 Oct 2021 06:09:38 «Globalists» Seek Peripheral Sounds | norient.com 1 Oct 2021 06:09:38 «Globalists» Seek Peripheral Sounds by Camilo Rocha DJs such as Diplo, DJ Dolores, Maga BO, DJ Rupture, Ghislain Poirier and Wayne&Wax build amazingly diversified sets, which can include American hip hop, German techno or French electro, but also Trinidadian soca, Morrocan rap, Rio funk, Angolan kuduro, Jamaican dancehall, London grime or Colombian cumbia. The exposure of these «peripheral» rhythms has already influenced artists in other spheres, such as the band Bloc Party and the DJs/producers Simian Mobile Disco and Samim (whose big hit this year, «Heater», mixes cumbia and techno). There is also Anglo-Sinhalese singer MIA, the first popstar to emerge from this trend who this year released the widely acclaimed album Kala. Could this all simply be a new guise for the well-worn «world music» label? Talking to Folha by phone, Canadian DJ/producer Ghislain Poirier, who just released the album No Ground Under on Coldcut’s Ninja Tune label, disagrees: «World music is more exotic, the sounds we play are more urban. They all come from common backgrounds: people without much money, doing music in home studios or in a laptop. It’s something more urgent.» Thanks to broader access to the internet and other technologies, there has been an unprecedented proliferation of sounds from the world’s margins, often with a strong electronic basis, produced on old, obsolete laptops or PCs, often with pirated software, and released on blogs, other websites and in globalist DJs’ mixes. https://norient.com/stories/rocha2008 Page 1 of 5 «Globalists» Seek Peripheral Sounds | norient.com 1 Oct 2021 06:09:38 American DJ and MC Wayne&Wax, who’s also an ethnomusicologist, has baptized this movement «global ghettotech». «It’s a phrase I came up with to describe what seems like an emerging aesthetic among certain DJs and bloggers, in which ‹global› genres such as hip-hop, techno, reggae, etc., are often mixed with ‘local’ˇ styles», explained Wayne to Folha. «But I’m against a superficial and trendy approach to it. I like to know the social and cultural contexts that shaped these sounds.» One of the first «globalists» was DJ Rupture, from Boston, USA, who called attention to the aesthetic with his «Gold Teeth Thief» mixtape. The mix was so successful that it was selected in 2002 as one of the top ten releases by prestigious English music magazine, The Wire. At his blog and his radio programme «Mudd Up!» Rupture broadcasts an insane mix of rhythms from all over. One of his favorite genres is Maghrebi music, from North Africa. «I’m [also] discovering the world of cumbia – there are plenty of fascinating scenes, from the past and from nowadays», says the DJ. In a couple of months Rupture’s label, Soot, will release the debut album of another important «globalist»: Maga Bo, an American from Seattle living in Rio since 1999. Maga Bo has already worked with Brazilians such as BNegão, MC Catra, Marcelo Yuka, Marcelinho da Lua and Digitaldubs. Next year, he’ll begin teaching digital production at AfroReggae’s community center in Parada de Lucas in Rio. Right now, he’s in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s capital city, recording with local musicians and researching Ethiopian music. «Electronic beats can be understood by the whole world. The computer, which has been called the first ‹universal folk instrument›, is becoming more and more accessible. The amount of music that can fit under the ‹global ghettotech› label is increasing all over the world. The death of traditional record labels and the growth of music distribution on the internet is helping with this popularization», he says. DJ Dolores, the best known Brazilian «globalist» DJ, says that «computers are the drums of today, a primal instrument that anyone can use in their own way». In 2004, Dolores won the award for best «Club Global» DJ from BBC’s Radio One. Dolores has just come back from touring the USA and Mexico and will release his album Um Real next year [2008]. Diplo is one of the best known of such DJs and producers. The 29 year-old American was one of the main figures responsible for promoting funk carioca abroad. MIA’s ex-boyfriend (and the co-producer of her first album), Diplo recently played the TIM Festival [one of the most important festivals in Brazil]. https://norient.com/stories/rocha2008 Page 2 of 5 «Globalists» Seek Peripheral Sounds | norient.com 1 Oct 2021 06:09:38 He believes that it’s important to give something in return to the local communities. With the Heaps Decent project, he has been making music with young aboriginals at an underage detention house in Australia. Tracks should be available soon, in a partnership with Australian label Modular. «Since these subcultures, in a certain way, help me to earn a living, I did something to help their development», he explains. «In the next few months, I hope to do the same in the favela of Cantagalo, in Rio, with AfroReggae and anthropologist Hermano Vianna.» https://norient.com/stories/rocha2008 Page 3 of 5 «Globalists» Seek Peripheral Sounds | norient.com 1 Oct 2021 06:09:38 The original article appeared on the Brazilian page FolhaOnline.

Daleste was first shot in the armpit. Not knowing what was going on, he shouted at the audience. A second fatal shot hit him in the abdomen. All was instantly caught on video by his fans, some of whom later posted the killing on YouTube. The police concluded that Daleste was shot from a distance of 40 metres, indicating that he was probably hit by a sharpshooter. Daleste (his name is a contraction of ‘from the East’, in reference to the ‘East Zone’, the largest metropolitan area in Sao Paulo) was 20 years old. Even though virtually unknown by the upper economic classes, Daleste was one of the most popular artists in Brazil.

  • Garage House Music Whats up with That
    Garage House Music whats up with that Future funk is a sample-based advancement of Nu-disco which formed out of the Vaporwave scene and genre in the early 2010s. It tends to be more energetic than vaporwave, including elements of French Home, Synth Funk, and making use of Vaporwave modifying techniques. A style coming from the mid- 2010s, often explained as a blend of UK garage and deep home with other elements and strategies from EDM, popularized in late 2014 into 2015, typically mixes deep/metallic/sax hooks with heavy drops somewhat like the ones discovered in future garage. One of the very first house categories with origins embeded in New York and New Jersey. It was named after the Paradise Garage bar in New york city that operated from 1977 to 1987 under the prominent resident DJ Larry Levan. Garage house established along with Chicago home and the outcome was home music sharing its resemblances, affecting each other. One contrast from Chicago house was that the vocals in garage house drew stronger impacts from gospel. Noteworthy examples consist of Adeva and Tony Humphries. Kristine W is an example of a musician involved with garage house outside the genre's origin of birth. Also understood as G-house, it includes very little 808 and 909 drum machine-driven tracks and often sexually explicit lyrics. See likewise: ghettotech, juke house, footwork. It integrates components of Chicago's ghetto house with electro, Detroit techno, Miami bass and UK garage. It includes four-on-the-floor rhythms and is normally faster than a lot of other dance music categories, at approximately 145 to 160 BPM.

  • The Queer of Color Sound Economy in Electronic Dance Music
    The Queer of Color Sound Economy in Electronic Dance Music Blair Black Within electronic dance music cultures (EDMCs), musicality and experi- mentation have been indebted to black and Latinx DJs of color since its inception in the 1980s. Even today, queer DJs of color continue to push the envelope of experimental EDM by showcasing dance music from the “global south,” centering remix styles that border between hip hop and EDM, and sampling cultural references popular in queer communities of color. This article explores music’s complex entanglements with identity and community for queer people of color in underground electronic dance music scenes. To be specific, the individuals within these communities self-identify as racial/ethnic minorities on the genderqueer spectrum of non-normative gender and sexual identities (gay/lesbian, trans, non- binary, etc.). Moreover, I argue that these socio-economic positions act as an impetus of a sound economy – the shared system of socio-cultural aesthetics – for queer communities of color in EDM. The first section dis- cusses the identity politics that underlie this sound economy by tracing how intertextuality allows DJs to display these minoritarian1 perspectives. I then highlight why (re)centering racialized queer identities is radical by tracing EDM’s political shifts. Specifically, I highlight how narratives sur- rounding EDM changed due to the demographic turn in Europe during the 1990s. The last section explores the re-emergence of pivotal queer DJs of color and the scenes they founded in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York by focusing on the flows of culture and people between cities to point to a more extensive global network of racialized queer communities in constant musical and political dialogue.

  • Counter-Tradition: Toward the Black Vanguard of Contemporary Brazil
    10 Counter-Tradition: Toward the Black Vanguard of Contemporary Brazil GG Albuquerque In the 1930s, the first samba school, Deixa Falar, located in the Estácio de Sá neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, was experiencing a period of growth. More and more people were accompanying the carnival parade, singing and celebrating in the streets of the city. But this expansion brought an acoustic problem to the sambistas (samba players): amid that crowd, the people could not clearly understand the music that was being played and sung. In an attempt to solve this problem, the composer Alcebíades Barcelos, aka Bide, used his technical skills as a shoemaker and clothed a 20-kilogram butter can with a moistened cement paper bag, tying it to the can with wires and thumbtacks. The result was a brilliant creation: Bide had invented the surdo, a bass drum that not only solved the initial problem of acoustic demand from samba schools, but also revolutionized Brazilian popular music. Until that time, samba had a very different sound from what we now recognize as samba. A notorious example is Donga’s “Pelo Telefone” (1916). The music exhibited a slow swing influenced by rural sounds (like the maxixe) and European genres (like polka and Scottish), and was recognized as the first samba ever recorded. The polyrhythmic drums, the batucada that became the structural pillar of samba, would only flourish a little more than a decade later, precisely because of the experiments of Estácio de Sá’s musicians in the 1930s. Bide and other composers, such as Ismael Silva, Armando Marçal, Heitor dos Prazeres, Brancura, Baiano, Baiaco, and Getúlio Marinho, developed the sonic language of the urban samba in Rio de Janeiro, the samba de sambar:1 a new sonic configuration based on fast syncopated rhythms and simpler, more direct, and more effective harmonies to be sung in the streets during carnival.
