Glesbygd´n

There haven´t been that much reggaemusic here at Othersided so let me therefor give you the best at once! Glesbygd´n is a band consisted by 9 musicians from a little village in the far north of Sweden called Arvidsjaur, the name Glesbygd´n is also translated “sparsely-populated area” in english.

They are producing the most perfect rootreggae with a lot of influences from dub, folk and soul mixed up with a beautiful melancholy and sad touch. The leadsinger Arvid has a pretty unic singingvoice and in the new album he is singing in a old swedish dialect called “Arvidsjaurbondska”.

In the song “Áiga ” they have invited a special guest called Simon Issat Marainen who is doing a eyewettening Sami Jojk.

Back from vacation!

Ohhh time is passing by pretty fast and i´m back to reality and also back to share some music in this blog, i´m soo full of new music in all forms and colours that you did not believe existed!

Also meet many new promising artist that i gonna love to introduce you all to. But first some of the dopest shit i´ve listen too in many years, Daniel Savio who also is the man behind a complete new genre that he calles Skwee and that is a musical style, with origin in Nordic countries Sweden and Finland.

 Skweee combines simple synth leads and basslines with funk, r’n'b or soul-like rhythms, overall rendering a stripped-down funky sound. The tracks are mostly entirely instrumental, though there are exceptions. The name refers to the use of vintage synthesizers in the production process, were the aim is to “squeeze out” as interesting sounds as possible. The video this song is also pretty fuckin´ KOOL!

Sound Riot – Brown Paper Bag (Roni Size Cover)

 

Ohhh YEASH, check this superslick cover version of the classic Roni Size track “Brown Paper Bag” from the album “New Forms” from 1997, the band doing the cover is called Sound Riot and is coming from the middle part of Sweden in the city of Östersund,  this lads are pretty stoked on just dnb music with some jazzy influenses.

Phour Trakk – Slip Into Something More Comfortable

When the god of small things and the Indian goddess of music get together, then Phour Trakk might be the cause. After his previous side trip to the roaring maze of western metropolises, he packs his bags again in order to leave eastbound while in his mind he has already arrived there. And it goes without saying that he has remembered to slip into clothes both typical for the country and comfortable.

Consequently, his fourth EP on iD.EOLOGY comes along in a guise just as colourful, elegant and rich in texture as a dhoti by Manish Malhotra. Hilarious Bollywood-style vocals meet earthy downbeats, eastern harmonies contrast smoky blue-notes and breezy tabla-rhythms blend with deep fretless basses heavy as lead. While the memories of the skyscrapers’ silhouettes slowly fade, all these details, all these small things coalesce to generate a wistful anticipation of a far-away culture.

Before fascination and rapture now make you light a candle and start making oblations to the gods, you might as well slip into something more comfortable and give this e.p. another thorough listen or two. After all, Phour Trakk has hidden quite a few more niceties for the attentive listener. Or was this, too, the god of small things in the end?

Error Broadcast

Please let me introduce you all to Error Broadcast wich is is a record- and a netlabel who releases all their music in reasonable quality for free or purchase uncompressed audio and to make you kids remember what it was like back in the days, every release is accompanied by a limited edition of vinyl 7″s with password to download exclusive tracks and remixes.

Error Broadcast refers to Chuck D´s idea of Rap as an alternative social organ. The term works as a tribute to traditional Golden Age Hip Hop the same as it underlines the collective’s self-perception as “independent”. 

 The latest release is called “Bag Of Nothingness” wich is a compilation that features 17 fresh new artists , each of them delivering their respective style of unique experimental Hip Hop. Heads from the US, Germany, Russia, UK and many other countries are with us. From “Bag of Nothingness” you can guess what the brand Error Broadcast will represent in the future: undogmatic Hip Hop joints, equally influenced from contemporary abstract electronic (dance-) music, DIY culture and digital turntablism, you know this is one of those albums where all tracks are good. BIG UPS I LOVE THIS!!!

Zeitgeist

This blog is really about music, this post is only for the one´s that missed the movie (hopefully not that many) Zeitgeist, wich is film that was released on Google Video in the spring of 2007 and was created by Peter Joseph. Essentially the video covers three areas of Interest.

Part I, entitled “The Greatest Story Ever Told” evaluates Christian beliefs and asserts that it was all taken from pre-existing myths, primarily Egyptian mythology.

In Part II, entitled “All The World’s a Stage” it goes on to talk about how the US Government knew about the attacks on September 11th, 2001 before hand and that it was a large conspiracy and cover up — essentially an it was an inside job.

Lastly we are told in Part III, entitled “Don’t Mind The Men Behind The Curtain”, that powerful bankers and world leaders are conspiring for world domination and consolidation of power.

Remeber not to believe in all thing you hear and read but this movie will for sure open your mind and get you thinking! Go HERE and watch the full movie for free.

PS. I WOULD LOVE TO GET SOME COMMENTS ABOUT THE MOVIE DS.

Drum And Bass

I have to admit that i´m really into dnb music, this genre which emerged in the mid 1990s is characterized by fast breakbeats (typically between 165–185 bpm, occasional variation is noted in older compositions), with heavy sub-bass lines. Drum and bass began as an offshoot of the United Kingdom rave scene. Over the first decade of its existence, the incorporation of elements from various musical genres lent to many permutations in its overall style.

Today i guess the scene is really underground but there is soooo much good dnb being produced nowadays with artist like Calibre, dBridge, Marcus Intalex, Lynx, Kemo, Aaron Jay, High Contrast, Doc Scott etc. The trend today is more to the deeper sound.

One of the best places to get going in listening to dnb is to visit www.breaksblog.biz where you will find hours and hours of studio and live mixes from diffrent artist, please give it a chance you want regret it!
