Buraka Som Sistema -‘Komba’+video

BURAKA SOM SISTEMA‘KOMBA’
ENCHUFADA
 
RELEASE DATE: 31ST OCTOBER 2011
 
After being slowly handcrafted over the past 11 months, Buraka Som Sistema return to the world of the living on a Halloween night, presenting their much anticipated sophomore album, ‘Komba’: an exploration of the borders between life and death combined with Buraka’s fierce approach.
 
Komba is an Angolan religious ritual, celebrated seven days after someone passes away, where friends and relatives honour the deceased by drinking their favourite drinks, eating their favourite food, dancing and singing their favourite songs while sharing experiences and telling stories about their life. The irony that the best party of your life happens after you’re dead, and the idea that we should live every day as if it was our last one, sets the common thread for ‘Komba’.
 
‘Komba’ is an album that fits together perfectly. All songwriting happened over 11 months with the starting point being a one month retreat in the remote woodlands of Monchique in the south of Portugal, from where the band brought dozens of beats and ideas. There they worked alongside friends like Stereotyp where the first sketches of ‘Hangover (Bababa)’ and the trippy 90 bpm song ‘Vem Curtir’ were created. Mixhell contributed to an intense ultra percussive beat that later became Macumba. The experience was so refreshing and unique that some of the music crafted during these four weeks has changed little from the initial demos. With a lot of new music on their hard drives, the band headed out to London’s Red Bull Studios, where guests like Afrikan Boy (‘Eskeleto’) and Roses Gabor (‘(We Stay) Up All Night’) came in to sprinkle the record with their own unique voodoo. With the hard drives running out of space and heads full of ideas, the band came back to Enchufada’s Lisbon headquarters to start refining the final ‘Komba’. Other guests like Terry Lynn and Sara Tavares (‘Voodoo Love’), Kaysha (‘Komba’) and Blaya (‘LOL & POP’ and ‘(We Stay) Up All Night)’, were then invited to help give the album its finishing touches.
 
Being on the road solidly for three years promoting their highly acclaimed debut album ‘Black Diamond’ has transformed Buraka from what was initially a producer’s idea into a fully fledged band. ‘Komba’ sounds like a band. An album ready to make thousands of people dance in festivals and clubs around the world. Songs like ‘Tira o Pe’ or ‘(We Stay) Up All Night’ have the perfect balance of electronic music and the live performance that Buraka have showcased to their fans in hundreds of shows around the world. The fact that Blaya (one of Buraka’s most explosive live contributors) steps up to do vocals on two songs is the best example of this natural evolution. This shift takes ‘Komba’ one step further on the group’s quest to find their own sound, pushing them further away from diminishing labels like “Progressive Kuduro”. It defines them as being true explorers of the urban lusophone melting pot.
 
On one of their journeys to South America, the group become fascinated with Sao Paulo’s street art movement. One of the leading characters of this movement – Brazilian artist Stephan Doitschinoff a.k.a. Calma – has views on religious and pagan aspects of South American culture which fused perfectly with ‘Komba’. Calma portrays the mix of spiritual idiosyncrasies in the same way Buraka deals with all their rhythmic influences brought from the West and Africa. For the artwork it was a no brainer to use one of Calma’s most famous paintings.
 
‘Komba’ is an “access all areas” pass for listeners to see life the same way Buraka does.

Ruede Hagelstein & The Noblettes – Soft Pack

 

Ruede Hagelstein’s debut album ‘Soft Pack’ invites you into melancholic deceleration. Together with his band, The Noblettes, they create a timeless indie-electronica album on Tiefschwartz’s Souvenir Music.

Their first album, ‘Soft Pack’ is reminicent of an early Simon & Garfunkel shaken and stirred with a modern twist. Laden with folk ballads such as ‘Berlin’, an ode their base, Ruede & the Noblette experiment with quirky jazz narratives such as the opening ‘A Priori’ and ‘Private’, and charm with spherical numbers ‘Posteriori’ and ‘Leaving The Center’, their pensive atmospherics are united by Ruede’s serene choirboy vocals.

Flirting with intricate horns contributed by Mieke, piano solos and nomadic melodies amidst cascading layers of other worldly sounds, it’s a hard task to identify the band’s electronic roots as they fuse elements of psychedelia, ambient soul and pop.

Ruede’s heart beats not only for the bass drum. A resident DJ at Berlin´s Watergate club, here he presents his down tempo side. Together with his buddy Justin Evans on bass guitar, vocals from Ruede and Aileen Phonix, Ruede’s childhood friend who also contributes keyboards to the live shows and Mieke Wenzl, who joined the band as a multi instrumentalist, they form The Noblettes.

Ruede’s first releases inspired France´s electro-clash scene and landed on the Kitsune Maison compilation and were celebrated in England by the sleazy disco crowd, being licensed to Trevor Jackson’s Output Records. Producing since 2004, Ruede has always experimented with different genres and his music makes an arc that spans between the strobe and a candlelight, as in the track ´Emergency´, which stormed the polls in 2010 and is presented in a down tempo edit on the album.

His productions have been licensed by the likes of Mathew Dear for his fabric compilation and Sven Vath for a Cocoon compilation and remixed by Chikinki and Louie Austen. He now calls Tiefschwarz´s Souvenir label his home and so it sees the release of his debut album, ‘Soft Pack’.

Ruede is a child of Berlin, making it his home over a decade ago. He developed his early passion for music through writing as an editor of Flyer magazine, and later founding an underground website that gave him a unique insight into the surrounding night culture.

Ruede grew up on the sounds of Jimi Hendrix and the Rolling Stones. In his youth, making music was reduced to the notes in choir, the holes in his flute and a permanently out-of-tune guitar. Like many others of his generation, it was his first computer that established his path to production, giving him a view through the sequence-window, a window that he still favours to look through upon a world of squares. He learned the fundamentals of audio engineering at the SAE-Institute and since has garnered skills that allow his music to infiltrate many worlds and take on various forms.

‘Soft Pack’ flutters with a sophistication and melancholy of a butterfly new to the world, brushing off its moth wings to break into rainbows of light and is an exquisite introduction to Ruede Hagelstein & The Noblettes.
