Scattermusic is proud to announce its 14th official release, a super heavy three track EP by Melbourne group Congo Tardis #1. Drawing on the genres which have dominated their DJ sets over the past few years such as Reggaeton, Dancehall, Kwaito, Shangaan Electro and more, Congo Tardis #1 bring together uplifting flavors from all over the globe to create something that’s truly unique. Steel drums ride the snap of cheap snares, carnival keys pulse over white noise sweeps, the vocals are fragmented yet the message is obvious, tune in your speaker, put the lime in the coconut, pump up the tweeter, don’t worry, it’ll make much more sense on the dancefloor.

The release also features appearances from three close friends. Marawa the Amazing, the worlds most incredible hula hoop performer (check this link if you don’t believe us) lends her vocal talents on Sweet Lime. MC Damaja, one of Melbourne’s finest dancehall MCs contributes the rather warped vocal hooks for the lead track Wild n’ Ready. Finally, musical extroadinare, relentless blogger, radio personality and all round good guy Faux Pas contributes with his remix of Doala, influenced by the ultra high tempos of African Shangaan music.

New mix from Melbourne tastmaker Paz featuring a nice blend of tribal tech, pirate samples, 3ball, barefoot, kwaito, bubblin’ etc. We’ve had some super hot days recently and even though my car’s got no air con, this mix makes it feel 5 degrees cooler.

You might remember a little while back I commented on a post about a duo from LA called Market Price. Well they split up, but the good news is that the producer of the group is still working on all kinds of electronic music, including some serious moombahton heat. His name is Valentino Khan, and he has some exciting releases set to drop in 2012, let me tell you!

I’m really feeling this latest track he sent through to me, which is available for free download at his facebook page.
