DISKORDIA 017

Flying Lotus has been present in my playlists for a while now, but I never picked up on any of the artists around him. Kamasi Washington is already very well recognized and has made it on air on my other radio shows, but mr Stephen Bruner is fresh new around here. Although active for 15 years now, with a wide variety of talents and collaboration, we sail into his works with his most recent release - The Beyond/Where the Giants Roam, released for Fly-Lo's Brainfeeder under his Thundercat alias. So obvious why they jam along with Flying Lotus, I enjoy this music a lot. 

Also listening to Warpaint today: the ultimate girl-on-the-edge-of-main-stream-and-avantgarde listen these days. They released their new Heads Up album this summer on Rough Trade and it's working for me on so many levels - with the sensibility Janet Jackson meets Cocteau Twins and much better rhythms than most of the their music before. So soft and with a dark twist, if I may.

DISKORDIA 016

We begin a series of mixes/mixtapes by guests I invite from time to time to Diskordia. 
They are all deeply moved by music and bear a very special understanding and appreciation for it, so having them present on my music stream is a true pleasure. 

A few words about the music today:
"So, here's the mix. I named it Cosmovisión. It starts and ends with a field recording of some shamanic ritual performed by Brazilian indians. In between, there's this new wave of Latin American producers. The vibe's more or less like a flying saucer ride along the banks of the Amazon river. I hope you enjoy it."

DISKORDIA MIX 001 per my request is by Rodrigo Miravalles or SUVO OKO, an initiative to promote Brazilian music and tell stories from Brasil, but not the usual stuff. Made in Skopje, Macedonia. You can listen to more stuff by Suvo oko here.

DISKORDIA 015

Diskordia from 05/09/2016 - check your girls!
We take a listen to some less and more recent material from girls that make music, sing, dance and do their own thing. Tommy Genesis, Abra, Adda Kaleh, Lafawndah and others.

I like their creative struggle against conformity, standards of beauty, expectations and I wish we heard more of this music on gigs. Like some of those awesome Azealia Banks house pieces or the wicked Zebra Katz not-so-straight-forward for-floor tunes.

Dip into the week with the girls from Diskordia.
