about

Barcelona based producer Filastine dropped his 2nd full-length release Dirty Bomb in early 2009 simultaneously on five record labels: Jarring Effects/EU, Soot/US&UK, Romz/JP, Uberlingua/AU, Post World Industries/Digital. Critics called it- the prototype of globalized urban sound (Prefix), awesome & delicate...hybrids so fluent they defy classification (Pitchfork), 180 degrees away from stultifying, one-dimensional track making (The Stranger). With this record in pocket, Filastine circled the earth twice in a 100-stop tour that began at a squat in Jakarta, Indonesia, tore up Europe’s most respected festivals (Sonar, the Berlin Transmediale, Amsterdam Dance Event), and ended in a cloud of teargas outside the Climate Summit in Copenhagen. Along this journey he met the producers behind these remixes. The result is a broad collection of bottom-heaving rumblers, shot with sinister melodies, chop-shop vocals, lofi dub echoes and atypical breaks, constructed with a depth of both frequency and concept. Contributers include Berlin superheroes Jahcoozi, Venezuelan exile Cardopusher, French post-breakcore genius Electromeca, fellow-traveler Maga Bo out of Brazil, Canadians Ill Gates & phowa representing the vital North American underground, and the anarchist booty-bass collective Deep Throat X of Tokyo. 100% talent. 0% industry-fueled hype. Rooted in dubstep, Baltimore breaks, glitch-hop, and raggacore, these tracks are influenced by all of the above- but none can be so easily defined. Genres, like national borders, rely on division and exclusivity; this is the sound of ambiguity, experimentation, and broken fences. Call it what you want, transnational bass, global ghettotech, or simply music; it is the sound of now that must be heard, and we aim to deliver it.

Grey Filastine is an electronic music composer and multimedia artist working to undermine borders. Spin magazine calls his music “bass music for crumbling urban futures,” and Pitchfork says it “sounds less like `world’ music and more like music from another world.” Another world is exactly what he aims to create, using sound, video, design to express a radically different vision of the possible. ... more
