Top US dubsteppers Joe Nice (one of URB's Next 100 for 2007), Dave Q, and MC Juakali are the Dub War residents,
and they can be found spreading the bassweight across the US and abroad. Dub War has been featured in Urb, XLR8R, ArtForum, and TimeOut NY. Also watch for Dub War Recordings #02 in stores soon featuring Random Trio Productions from London. Visit www.dubwarnyc.com for more info.

His new album, From Brooklyn to SF, is set to blow minds across the globe. It is a journey through Dread Bass, dub/dubstep, hip hop and desi inflected digi dancehall , featuring several of the most adventurous vocalists and musicians in North America.

Iranian hard/progressive rock

2007-03-06T02:41:15Z

Hi,

I am Salim and am newly joined Tribe.net. I am a guitar player in the Iranian hard/progressive rock band in Iran.

We have just released our first album Abrahadabra and I would be very thankful if you spend some time listening to it and share your opinions with me.

The interesting point here is that actually I have always had problems in defining this album's musical "style" for others... So maybe you could help!!

However that this "problem" maybe somehow normal as my own musical taste is very varied!

Cheers,
Salim

Taruna: World Fusion 3

2006-11-18T06:28:11Z

Taruna: World Fusion 3

Shaman Electro is proud to present the much anticipated “Taruna: World Fusion 3”, the final installation in the World Fusion Trilogy, available now at psyshop: http://www.psyshop.com/shop/CDs/shn/shn1cd001.html

If you are already a fan of Taruna, aka Jürgen Eppinger, you have probably been waiting patiently for the newest album of psychedelic-ambient-electronica, rich with ethnic atmospheres from all over the globe – and if so, you will not be disappointed. If you are new to the global sounds of Taruna, you are in for an amazing voyage to new destinations…

Begin your journey with a glorious Sunrise in Varanasi - complete with original recordings on the streets of Varnasi, tabla, sarod and sarenghi samples, along with the sweet sounds of bells, xylophones, female vocals and a mixture of psychedelic synths and jazzy influences….Then allow yourself to wind through The Dogon Mystery, find an Invisible Word, glide through Shamballa and Listen to the Shamans of the Amazon rainforest. Each song carries you deep into the heart of a new place within yourself, wraps you in the sights, sounds and smells of faraway lands, and calls you to awaken to the beauty of all of humanity.

World Fusion 3 showcases rich, textured instruments from all over the globe: sitars, xylophones, flutes, tablas, bongos, shakers, Tibetan singing bowls, Chinese Zeng harp, Javanese gongs, Balinese Rejong Gamelan (the list goes on an on and on) mixed with thick bass lines, beautiful ethnic melodies and psychedelic synths to create globally rich atmospheres of feeling, depth and dance….all while delivering only the most positive of messages:

This incredible power inside the brain is ready to be activated…
Respect Nature, Respect Life…
There’s an invisible world around you…
There is going to have to be a radical transformation…transformation…transformation
The human future will be designed on how conscious we are able to make ourselves…

Travel through the streets of India, climb the Himalayas of Tibet, sing with the choirs of Bali, visit African villages in prayer, chant with long forgotten tribes, soar with the eagles and walk with the jaguars (and meet Timothy Leary and Terrence McKenna along the way!)…World Fusion 3 will guide your mind into a global perspective of enlightening authenticity…through a balance of male and female, yin and yang…to the possibilities of self and world… Awaken to the world around you…

World Fusion 3: an aural global guide…

STATELESS - 9/30 (sat) @ Amnesia - featuring wailing junktet and roots and wires hi-fi!

2006-09-30T02:58:25Z

hello friends,

thanks to all that came out for filastine's performance last month - it was a truly inspiring set for a comfortably packed house. we will have some photos up soon on the roots and wires website...

this saturday, september 30th, we return with the ninth round of stateless, again at SF's amnesia. for our live act, we are excited to bring you the wailing junktet, performing brazillian rhythms on found junk objects... they were killer at the recent novo sounds event (at the supper club)...

our guest dj is vanka, who hosts the misturada event at club six. here's a blurb that xlr8r's tomas palermo wrote about him:

"DJ Vanka has tapped into a vibe that clubs like Bar Rhumba in London have been promoting for years: organic and electronic Afro-Latin dance music. Vanka's hardly late to the game, though; he DJed for 10 years with Stellar Trax soundsystem, playing everything from reggae to drum 'n' bass. Now the Belgian native focuses his energies on the Worldwide crew (which includes DJs Wisdom and Ruben) and makes sure the Make-Out Room is packed with dancers every Saturday for Misturada (Portuguese for "mixed"). As Vanka works his way through a mix of salsa, samba, reggaeton, cumbia, Latin house, and Brazilian batucada breaks, the place becomes a sweatbox of swirling bodies"

wicked!

resident dj, the worker (six degrees, stateless), will drop his usual dancefloor magic, with everything from baile funk to ragga breaks.

the roots and wires hi-fi will close out the night, in full soundsystem style - with both original productions and the thickest selections, from dubstep and ragga-jungle, old school bollywood and asian massive, to uk steppers and roots reggae... their performance will be dubbed live with analogue delays, siren and sound units, melodica and more...

finally, the stateless crew will tag-team and provide visual mixing to complete the multimedia mandala...

make sure to come out for a diverse night of outernational and rootsical sounds, live and electronic, roots and wires...

the night starts at 9PM and goes until 2AM. the cover is only $5. the location is amnesia, 853 valencia - between 19th and 20th...

peace,

khenu (special agent k)

STATELESS featuring Grey Filastine (Soot Records) tonight 8/25 @ Amnesia (SF)

2006-08-25T16:22:53Z

Please join us this Friday, August 25th, at Amnesia, for the next round of Stateless! Grey Filastine will be headlining, performing music from his new album - featuring a wicked mix of field recordings, sound collage, hip hop, arabic and indian beats. Here's the Boomkat review of his new album "Burn It," released on DJ Rupture's Soot Records:

"Thankfully this hugely accomplished debut album from Filastine on DJ Rupture’s Soot label is one that will stay on your playlist without fear of deletion. Taking influence from the four corners of the world; blending Brazillian funk with Jamaican riddims, Indian vocal honey with French rapping… this is a veritable world cruise (albeit without the pub-singer crooning). Filastine manages to distill his worldly influences without coming across trite or contrived. Never while listening to ‘Burn It’ did I stop and get cynical, it’s just not that kind of record. An excellent achievement and a huge recommendation – don’t burn it, BUY IT."

and another review from Seattle's Stranger:

"reminiscent of the murky drama of Ninja Tuners like Amon Tobin and DJ Food - throughout the album the lines between live performed contributions and meticulously contextualized samples is slurred and burnt... it feels like a thrillingly tense interaction between these ideological factors and the gold-toothed, whip-riding luxury of hiphop culture"

Grey will be joined by a guest vocalist, will be playing live polyrhythms, and will dub out his set via his performance art aesthetic (Grey is the conceptual mind behind Seattle's infamous Infernal Noise Brigade). Don't be surprised when you see his gear loaded on a shopping cart, a critique on consumerism and hypercapitalism...

In addition to Filastine, we have a special guest opening the night:

DJ Cyan will drop soulful sounds, liquid funk, drum and bass and dubstep...

The Worker, co-founder of Stateless alongside the Special Agent K, will follow DJ Cyan and drop ragga breaks, deep international techno, adding slivers of dub, brazilian, drum and bass, and breaks...

Filastine will play next...

The Roots and Wires Hi-Fi (Special Agent K, Andy G) will be closing the night with some original productions: expect some roots/dub, dubstep, and drum and bass meets virtuosic classical indian music (including All-India Radio artist, Ghanshyam Sisodia (sarangi), top disciple of Ustaad Amjad Ali Khan, Preetam Ghosal (sarod), and classical vocal virtuoso, Ujwaal Nagar). These sonic ninjas will also select the thickest in UK steppers, ragga jungle, asian massive, and roots/dub, all while dubbing the mix live with delays, reverb, siren unit, melodica, and video imagery! As a special treat, we will also be featuring tracks from Talvin Singh's upcoming album. This is so fresh that we can't give you any more details - I can say that you won't find this dubplate material anywhere else until next year. It is simply beautiful music, so please come and take any early sneak peek!

The Special Agent K will be doing live video mixing throughout the night, creating a rootsical container for your sonic experience...

This should be a night of edgy, experimental but danceable, outernational music and image...

We hope to see you all at Amnesia (853 Valencia, between 19th and 20th) this Friday, August 25th starting at 9PM. The cover is only $5 and the night goes until 2 AM...

Peace,

Khenu (Special Agent K)

Stateless SF @ Amnesia - Fri 6/30/06 - Featuring Micropixie and Jeff Stott!

2006-06-28T21:42:29Z

First off - thanks to everyone that made it out to a packed Amnesia for our last Stateless event. It was a great evening - mad props to Kush Arora for his next-step ragga-bhangra set!

We will be celebrating our six-month anniversary on Friday, June 30, again at Amnesia (b/w 19th and 20th on Valencia, in SF's Mission). We will start at 9 PM and go until 2 AM - the cover is only $5. This should be an extra-special event, as we have two amazing headliners, as well as video artists this time.

First, desi space-alien Micropixie (www.micropixie.com) will be playing her ethereal sounds, with live tabla accompaniment and laptop beats. Then, Jeff Stott, MC Rai producer and founder of Embarka Records (www.embarkarecords.com) , will be performing beats and oud, with a violinist and arabic percussion.

Michael (The Worker) and I (Special Agent K) will be dropping opening and closing sets - spinning roots, dub, bhangra, outernational breaks and jungle, afrojazz, dancehall, dubstep and so on...

I'll be doing my usual soundsystem business, with siren unit and analogue delays. I'm also planning on dropping some dubplates of original south asian dubstep and drum and bass.

Finally, we will be incorporating a visual component. This will include a video piece by Sue C , a photographer and video artist (www.orthlorng.com/sue/live.html) who works with a combination of analog and digital processes, doing "live improvisational video performances using a custom built system in the max/msp/jitter software environment"... We will also be joined by a guest visual artist, Yasi, who is a member of the Flaming Lotus Girls (www.flaminglotus.com) and who will be providing some live visual pieces to complement the evening. The visual element should be a nice addition to our developing event.

I'm still developing my dubwise tabla and midi footcontroller setup, so expect to see this as part of my set in the next few months!

So please come out and join us for an intimate evening of bass frequencies, outernational beats, live performance and visual art!

Warmly, Khenu (Special Agent K!)

THIS MONDAY IN NY-DEEP SPACE W/ FRANCOIS K., DUB GABRIEL, UMAR BIN HASSAN (LAST POETS), SATISH!!!!

2006-06-07T11:19:37Z

Hey everyone, I just arrived back in New York to visit and to kick off a tour doing 20 shows around the United States.
For the last 8 months I have been living in Berlin and it has been a total trip.
It feels good to be back in the states and I am hoping to see all my New York friends together this Monday at Deep Space where I will be doing my only NY show.
It will be a special night doing an all-live global dub soundsystem with Last Poets legend Umar Bin Hassan, who also was on the last Common record as well as Trumpet playing madman Satish on horn and electronics.
And of course resident DJ, Francois K.
Please come and join me, catch up with good friends in a fun night!!

For additional information visit:

Step back, all ye wannabe rappers and check out one of
the originals who made hip hop possible. Before Africa
Bambaata was throwing parties in the Bronx, before
Prince Whipper Whip was rocking with the Fantastic 5
and before the Rock Steady Crew ever attempted their
first windmills, Umar Bin Hassan and the Last Poets
were making rhythm and poetry live on the streets of
Harlem.
Thirty years later a number of the more socially and
politically conscious emcees are planning a tribute
album to the Last Poets featuring Common, Dead
Prez, Chuck D, Keith Murray, Buckshot, Kanye West,
Erykah Badu and others.
Since 1999, Brooklyn Producer/DJ Dub Gabriel and Last
Poets’s founder Umar Bin Hassan have collaborated in
many ways.
First with Umar’s now legendary appearance on Dub
Gabriel’s Baraka Orchestra album, Then with Dub
Gabriel and Prof. Shehab releasing Umar’s album
produced by Bill Laswell. Gabriel’s Current album
“Bass Jihad” is a modern Middle Eastern Dub
masterpiece being compared by Billboard magazine to
Brian Eno as well as on the best of 2005 list from
many magazines and radio stations from around the
world.
The night will be a celebration of not only the return
meeting of these two artist, but also it will be the
first time Dub Gabriel is in New York since moving to
Berlin Germany 8 months ago.
This legendary night will feature Dub Gabriel\s
Brooklyn Massive soundsystem doing all live dubbing
and music creating. as well as Trumpet maestro Satish
on the dub trumpet and surprise guest!!
and of course your host and pilot for the evening on
the ones and twos Mr. Francois K.!!

STATELESS 004 - Friday, April 28 @ Amnesia (SF)

2006-04-26T23:21:21Z

Hi All,

Thanks to all that made it out to the last Stateless, which was also a part of Dhamaal's Sights and Sounds Festival. Amnesia was once again packed with thick sonics and a diverse crowd of revelers and music afficiandos. MC Rai played a beautiful arabic set and the DJ crew (Radiohiro and DJ Warp) from Chicago was solid...

We'll be steppin' forward with the fourth episode of Stateless on Friday April 28, again at Amnesia (853 Valencia, between 19th and 20th). This go round will feature this following line-up:

(1) Tomas (XLR8R) will open the night with dubwise and minimal techno sounds...

(2) Resident DJ, Special Agent K (Roots and Wires Hi-Fi, Stateless), will drop a set of diverse sounds, spanning bhangra, ragga breaks, asian massive to drum and bass... all while dropping dubwise samples, and manipulating effects, a siren unit, and analogue delay live... This time, he will also drop some original productions, highlighting recently recorded indian classical talent from New Delhi, India - inna dubstep/breakbeat version!

www.rootsandwires.com
http://rootsandwires.blogspot.com/

(3) Tim Barsky is our featured live act. Tim is a traditional Ashkenazi storyteller and oral historian who has been getting increasing attention for his unique performance style, which blends hip-hop, street theatre, and Jewish folklore. He's also the world's first battle flutist! Using just a flute and a microphone, Tim can beatbox, "scratch", manipulate beats, drop classics, and play up to 8 lines at the same time, without loops or sampling. Taking the aesthetic of the battle DJ and integrating it into the flute, Tim is pioneering the art form of woodwind percussion.

http://www.timbarsky.com/

(4) Resident DJ, The Worker (Novo Sounds, Stateless), will close out the night with his ecletic, dancefloor shakin' sounds - from breaks to baile funk...

Please come check it!

I'mPULSE 3rd Asia-Europe Music Camp

2006-04-13T23:33:30Z

www.asef.org/project.asp?projcode=404&deptcode=1

For the Third Asia-Europe Music Camp, I'mPULSE, the Asia-Europe Foundation join hands with the Dashanzi International Art Festival on 14-21 May 2006 in bringing together twenty emerging DJs from Europe and Asia to engage in a one-week dialogue and workshops through comprehensive digital music experimentation.

A close-up on the possibility of representation, translation and migration of Asian and European DJ-culture will be presented by guest DJs from Asian Underground: Sam Zaman of State of Bengal and Ges-E of Nasha Records (UK), and China’s Yang Bing.

Leon Lee, Producer, Pentatonic Workshop (China), Aleksander Motturi, Artistic Director of Clandestino Festival (Sweden), and ASEF’ s Programme Manager for I’mPULSE, Vanini Belarmino compose the team of curators for this Beijing project.

I’mPULSE is a programme of the Asia-Europe Foundation’s (ASEF) Cultural Exchange sector for the Asia-Europe Music Camp, designed to provide a platform for young people to exchange their ideas on music. Its primary aim is to encourage fresh minds to pursue the development of their music concepts by learning from each other. This ASEF programme label I’mPULSE was coined to stress the individuality and spontaneity that is apparent amongst young musicians.

This project is supported the British Council, Goethe Institut-Beijing, Hart Center for Arts, the One Minutes Foundation, 11-Art Com, Vibes and Club Tango.

Sub Swara::008 Thursday April 13

2006-04-04T05:08:14Z

The Sub Swara Crew sends massive respect to all of you who came out and ram-jammed the spot and created a truly epic and ground-breaking night at the last edition of SS! From the return of Navdeep, to the Floor stomping ruckus of Bobby Friction and Nihal, to the booty bomb breaks of Deekline, to the next level Skipij sound of State of Bengal, it was a night to remember all around. Check out some of the pics from the event in the photo gallery (www.subswara.tribe.net/photos) -- if anyone has more, we'd love to see them! Mad respect to to all the crews, communities, friends, and family who came together.

Dubwise Soundsystem - 2/24/06 - Stateless @ Amnesia (SF)

2006-02-24T04:55:16Z

Hi Everyone!

Tommorrow brings another installment of Stateless at our new home, Amnesia (853 Valencia, between 19th and 20th - in the Mission). As usual we will be featuring the dubbier and more experimental side of outernational sounds, with live dubbing and live percussion.

As far as the night's line-up:

I will start out the night at 9PM, go until 10:15 or so, and will be playing some dub, roots, bhangra, outernational breaks, and some new dubstep. Alex from Lemonade will be dropping live percussion and melodica over my set (special agent k) and over Michael's set (D. Wurker), as I also dub him live, drop samples and dubwise siren sounds, and tweak the digital mixing board... Michael will move the dancefloor from 10:15-11:30...

We have some extra special guests following our earlier sets:

Maneesh the Twister (Dhamaal) will be playing a set, with Ferhan on Tabla, and MC Daddy Frank on the mic. This should be from around 11:30-12:30.

Tomas (XLR8R, Voltage Music) will close out the night from 12:30-1:45 with producer Nada on effects and percussion.

So it should be a heavy night of beats, basslines, live percussion, vocalists, rootsical sounds and dubwise treatment! Come out and represent!

Peace,

Khenu

Belly Groove & Electric Vardo tribes

2005-12-23T08:59:49Z

Just want to make sure everyone knows that there is a Belly groove tribe now.

Join in on the fun ... check out what that crazy Frederique is up to, post funny photos of her (I know many of you have some), make silly remarks, and honor the kick ass dancer that she is.

http://tribes.tribe.net/bellygroove

Heck, and while you're at it - check out the Electric Vardo tribe - frederique and I are currently managing booking for 2006 Electric Vardo events.

http://electricvardo.tribe.net/

Electric Vardo started with DJ Amar, DJ Sep, Ultra Gypsy, & DJ Dragonfly, bringing in the amazing talents of Frederique & Belly Groove, Cheb i Sabbah, Janaka and Dhamaal, Dhol Rhythms Bhangra dance troupe, Turbo Tabla, Sila and the Afrofunk Experience, Tabla Rasa, Kitundu, & many others.

After months running as a primary performer, it seemed best that Frederique join as a promoter. As of October, Frederique came on as an official promoter and joined the Electric Vardo Collective/Family, and together with DJ Sep and Amar, brought in a spectacular performance with Boom Boom Bollywood, Joined by Ultra Gypsy's Jill Parker, Vicki Virk of Dhol Rhythms, and DJ Layla from Portland Oregon.

In November we were joined by Sila and the Afrofunk Experience for a benefit for Kashmir.

Our next show is another benefit for the Kashmir earthquake in Pakistan/India featuring a spectacular lineup with the Nekyia's Kristina Canizares, Clandestine, Embarka Soundsystem feat. Jef Stott & SooozhyQ, & Belly Groove with DJ Amar, plus more special guests.

BTW: Moderators, please feel free to promote your tribe on ours. Let's expand the community together.

Much love to all - Amar
