NUEVA CUMBIA MIX

djumb — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 09:29:08 +0000

Here’s a Nu Cumbia mix I did about 9 months ago in February 2009, just thought it’d be great to give it a fresh airing somewhere.

Sorry I can’t remember the tracklist, save to say that it includes material from Discos Fuentes, ZZK Records, Bersa Discos and Sonido Del Principe.

Improvised & recorded in real time on Pioneer CDJ 1000 MKII & DJM 600 MIXER.

JukE BoyZ “KID CONGA” RMX DOWNLOAD

djumb — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 19:33:38 +0000

JukE BoyZ are PETER POZOREK & (me) DJ UMB and we put this little Tropical Tek House remix together of the Daniel Haaksman tune, entered it into the competition and man, we came close. It was voted the best MINIMAL remix and made the shortlist of the final 8 entries.

It’s just a bit of fun and we aimed it at the TECH-HOUSE market, hoping it would be picked up by all the Tech House DJ’s and so far we’ve had a pretty good response.

Anyway, we’re gonna re-work it with a new Kid Conga-less version with a totally tropical taste.

For now, however, you can download the Kid Conga version, which is at 126 BPM and at around 8 minutes in length, perfect to slot into those Tropical Tech House sets.

DANIEL HAAKSMAN feat. MC MILTINHO (JuKe BoYz RmX)

Watch out for our Vieux Farka Toure remix, which we are led to believe will be coming out on the SIX DEGREES label soon, it’s a voodoo MF!

Siftable Music Sequencer

A music sequencer that uses Siftables as the interface. There are three “voices” - lead, bass and drums. Each voice has four variations, accessible via the four sides of the siftable. You can also apply reverb, filter, volume and tempo changes. Pretty cool. You can watch a short Ted Talk where designer David Merill talks about the idea in more detail and demo’s a few other applications. (via audiolemon)

Bobby McFerrin Shows Everybody Gets Pentatonic

Click here to view the embedded video.

At the World Science Festival in June here in New York, specialists – including musical specialist Bobby McFerrin – gathered to ask what in music we humans hear universally, versus what is culturally specific.

Is our response to music hard-wired or culturally determined? Is the reaction to rhythm and melody universal or influenced by environment? Join host John Schaefer, Jamshed Barucha, scientist Daniel Levitin, Professor Lawrence Parsons and musical artist Bobby McFerrin for live performances and cross cultural demonstrations to illustrate music’s note-worthy interaction with the brain and our emotions.

You can watch a series of five video highlights, but the one above is perhaps the most striking.Notes and Neurons videos
