Precolumbian & Estoc blend Afro-Peruvian percussion with hardstyle on CCT Posted: 24 Jul 2019 09:45 AM PDT The title stands for ‘Caracunde Club Tool’ – a reference to the song by Afro-Peruvian icon Susana Baca. Philadelphia producers Precolumbian & Estoc have teamed up for CCT, the latest release on Riobamba's label APOCALIPSIS. Blending Afro-Peruvian festejo and landó music, styles that incorporate heavy use of the the cajón percussion instrument (as seen on the EP’s cover art), with hardstyle, the two-track release is the first collaboration from the producers. The release accompanies the launch of Search Engine, a new club night run by Precolumbian and Estoc that according to APOCALIPSIS, “showcases trans women DJs and producers, while creating a safe space to explore nontraditional club music.” CCT arrives this Friday (July 26). A portion of proceeds will go to Philadelphia’s Morris Home, the only drug and alcohol treatment program in the United States exclusively serving trans and gender non-confirming individuals.

FACT mix 718: Kampire Posted: 24 Jul 2019 08:34 AM PDT Uganda’s Kampire kickstarts the party with this global meltdown of bass-heavy dance pressure. Kampire Bahana was working for Ugandan festival Nyege Nyege when the organization’s co-founder Derek Debru suggested she should DJ. Bahana was already a regular at Kampala’s parties and was obsessed with the music she was hearing at each event, so it made sense. “I couldn’t mix for shit,” she told DJ Mag last year, “but I put together my tracks and the audience responded so well I’ve been doing it ever since.” Since then, Kampire has gone from strength to strength, performing regularly in Uganda and touring the world. At home, she’s been crucial in mobilizing local women and queer people to establish safer clubbing spaces in a country where that status can be controversial. Bahana has run events with Johannesburg’s legendary Pussy Party, an event specifically geared towards women, and was mentored by Femme Electronic’s DJ Rachael, a pivotal figure in the East African scene. Between them, they’ve helped shift the focus and led a progressive wave in Kampala that’s been crucial for a new, diverse cast of DJs and producers. In the last couple of years, Kampire has achieved no shortage of international acclaim, performing at festivals across the world and touring incessantly, bringing her irresistible mix of underground African club music through Europe, Asia and the USA, picking up gems from the wider global dance continuum on the way. Bahana’s FACT mix is a celebration of all the sounds she’s collected in the last few years, centering itself on East Africa with tracks from Singeli cornerstone Sisso and Hakuna Kulala’s Slikback, dipping into South African gqom and folding in tracks from further outside the base, like a remix from last week’s FACT mix selector, DJ Plead. Anyone interested in hearing the power and optimism coming from Africa right now should look no further. Tracklist: Godwonder & Daricaramelo – ‘Work it’ Superdoze – ‘Chaméléon’ (Hakuna kulala riddim) Arma – ‘Mind Blown’ (Arma edit) Mxshi Mo – ‘woza’ DJ Damiloy Daniel – ‘Trono’ Tommy Kid – ‘Psyqom’ Kensaye x Vitus Tribe ft Magugu – ‘Run like Flash’ Africa Express – ‘Nayena’ DJ Zinhle – ‘Pepe’ Mxshi Mo – ‘Orpan’ TDK Macassette – ‘Left, Right’ Andrito Tumba – ‘Nyama Solo’ Adi mix & DJ Picante – ‘Tradiçao’ Branko ft Dino Santiago – ‘tudo Certo’ (Noire remix) Blackboy – ‘en form’ Adi mix & DJ Picante – ‘Fui mbora’ Snøw ft KOG – ‘Money finished’ DJ Plead – ‘السادات وفيفتى remix’ Jumping Back Slash – ‘Blunt blades’ Planet dust – ‘Kalua’ Loketo – ‘Extra ball’ Dred man-Gi ft Nell – ‘Nao ta se entender’ Slikback ft Swordman – ‘Cardi black’ Gan Gah – ‘Kasbah’ DJ nandhino da penha Nuvens Pretas – ‘sombre’ Zido – ‘Beng’ Edwin – ‘Call my mother for me’ Lakoc – jojo – ‘Apiyo nyara’ Sisso – ‘biti no 7’ Read next: Nyege Nyege 2018 – The world's best electronic music festival is in Uganda The post FACT mix 718: Kampire appeared first on FACT Magazine: Music News, New Music..
