El Poeta featured on International Music Blog Generation Bass for his new Carlito Headset material. His new album, ‘Tiro De Advertencia (Warning Shot)’ has been picked up by BSTRD BOOTS – stay tuned for release dates.
Another Dub Traffik Control production, this time with El Poeta’s alter-ego Carlito Headset at the controls!!!
“The BSTRD Boots series is back again with another fiery 7″ for your decks, this time from Dub Traffik Control. Keeping in line with the recent cumbia remix trends (in the same vein as Bersa Discos and Whiskey Barons), the dudes offer up “King of the Bongo(1)” a bass heavy, dubbed out version of Manu Chao’s big track that’s sure too get things hot and heated. Afrosound’s “La Danza De Los Mirlos(2)” gets a similar reworking on the flip with those irresistable latin guitars, big drums and even bigger bass promising a huge response from the crowd when dropped in your set. Tasty stuff.” -TurntableLab
Still available from some online retailers.
On the first Saturday of every month, inside the darkened den that is the castle-and-chess-themed Kadan Club (4696 30th St., Normal Heights), Walker Holland, Miguel Vega and Angelo Gastelum (AKA EL POETA) can be found reveling at the site of massive amounts of electronic gear.
“The more hardware and wires the better,” says Holland, the driving force behind BrokenBeat (www.brokenbeat.com), the name for both a club night featuring live experimental electronic music and visuals and the network of artists who create it.
For almost a decade, Holland and his collaborators have been putting on events in San Diego that spotlight the kind of electronic music you won’t find in Downtown clubs. A far cry from the repetitive beat-heavy house or trance music most people think of when they hear the words “electronic music,” BrokenBeat is all about “intelligent dance music” (IDM), specifically “glitch,” (a subgenre of experimental electronic music) and the live mixing and retooling of electronic-music tracks. If done correctly, it’s the kind of music that can get even the most mainstream-minded bar-goer on the dance floor.
“Angelo here is a great example of that,” says Vega, who’s recently joined BrokenBeat as the visual jockey (VJ) and who schedules other VJs to provide the live visuals for the night at Kadan. “When Angelo plays, everyone is on the dance floor.”
The typical lineup for a BrokenBeat night is three electronic DJs, one live electronic-music artist and one or two VJs who improvise with the music and fill three screens hanging on the walls of Kadan with graphics, live video feeds, animation and more.
“I’ve had nights where I’ve just stepped back and looked at it and thought, Wow, that’s cool,” Holland says. “Seeing people dancing inside those three screens, it’s like they’re dancing inside a giant television.”
“And the best part,” Gastelum adds, “is that we don’t charge. This is something we do out of love.”
