ITM brings Buraka Som Sistema?

Buraka Som Sistema fuse native Angolan Kuduro sounds with electro orientated beats. They are very good but are not like the typical Fridgejet DJ's - but hey, its always good to try something new.

While their sound puts out a very unique feeling, Buraka Som Sistema ARE like some artists you may have heard before. They share a similar sound with the always daring M.I.A (Steve Aoki labeled their set at Coachella one of the pinnacle moments of 2008) and has roots that must have stemmed from artists like Diplo and Bondo De Role. Their sound was enough to (albeit perhaps only for one post) break away from the fidgety, sweat driven dance tracks that usually arrive in my inbox. Fridgejet feels proud in having the chance (via the help of In The Mix) to bring you this international flavored electro ghetto funk - fresh from the trio's debut album 'Black Diamond'. Enjoy and appreciate a sound that tears away from musical genre's and the constraints that come with them.

Ps - the boys are on their Australian tour, doing various stops including the Laneway Festivals in Perth, Adelaide and Sydney.

Late Fanatics!

Oops. If the Fridgejet drop box was checked daily, the track you see before you now (albeit 13 days later) would have served as a perfect taste tester to what was experienced at Empire when Jaimie Fanatic rolled through Brisbane. The place wasn't packed enough, especially considering he's spun to over 20,000, has toured all around the world and has a comprehensive bible of original and remixed tracks (all of the highest quality). Maybe word just doesn't spread to Brisbane, cause the rest of the world knows about this remix playboy? Anyway - check the track, look out for his upcoming tours and jump on his myspace and say hi!

If You Missed Him at New Years...

In conjunction with Chew The Fats party coming up at Corsica Studios (event here - what a lineup!), Foamo dropped a fresh mixtape (late January 2009) and ripped it out to us. The links got chewed up pretty fast and have already been reposted - so you might wanna jump the link now and read the rest later. Regardless of that, the mixtape showcases various Foamo masterpieces including 'Wardance' (which is doing well on Radio 1 at the moment) and has a spray of international talent in the track listing, including AC Slater, Drop the Lime, Diplo and Jack Beats. Get it now and reminisce about New Years eve at Empire.
