BBC’s Essential Mix: Buraka Som Sistema


Ripping apart Radio 1 this week is Buraka Som Sistema, a Lisbon ensemble whose kuduro infused productions keep hearts pumping and asses shaking. Their debut album, Black Diamond, firmly shatters any assumptions about dance music. Built on the fundamentals of house, BSS’s tunes blend electro madness with coarse break beats and bass lines while sounding as though they pump out of a classic rave speaker.  Expect classic dubstep and UK funky anthems tuned up with soca rhythms while maintaing a firm grip on the Portuguese dance climate.

If there’s one thing we should have all learned by now it’s that Trouble & Bass throws one hell of a party, and last night’s installment of No Escape from New York was no exception. The featured guests, 12th Planet and Flinch, brought their west-coast grime to The Studio at Webster Hall for a rager that also served as the backdrop for AC Slater‘s music video shoot for his upcoming release, “Take You” featuring Ninjasonik.

The Trouble & Bass Crew was in full effect, with The Captain, Drop the Lime and Star Eyes joining AC Slater for alternating sets. Diplo, Roxy Cottontail, Dances with White Girls and Apl.de.ap of the Black Eyed Peas all dropped in to get their dose of bass on a Wednesday evening.

BBC’s Essential Mix: Simian Mobile Disco


The first Essential Mix of the year comes from the very talented UK duo Jas Shaw and James Ford, collectively known as Simian Mobile Disco. Emerging from the ashes of the band Simian, these two caught fire by combining the propulsive groove of techno with basic rock dynamics to create unique productions and sought after remixes. Last October, the duo tore down Webster Hall with their synths, Moogs and drum machines, remixing their own dubs on the fly. This mix changes the pace, seamlessly grooving between minimal tech, dubstep and electro. Check out the tracklist and an XLR8R walk-through of their live studio rig after the jump and be sure to catch them when they return to NYC on March 11th at Le Poisson Rouge.
