it´s time again for some free music.
Paul D. Miller aka DJ Spooky That Subliminal Kid is a conceptual artist, writer, and musician working in New York. He produced Ghost World: A Story in Sound for the Dokolo Foundation at the Venice Biennial 2007.
Brian Eno once famously remarked that the problem with computers is that there isn't enough Africa in them. I kind of think that its the opposite: they're bringing the ideals of Africa: after all, computers are about connectivity, shareware, a sense of global discussion about topics and issues, the relentless density of info overload, and above all the willingness to engage and discuss it all - that's something you could find on any street corner in Africa.
I just wanted to highlight the point: Digital Africa is here, and has been here for a while. This isn't "retro" - it's about the future. (quote from djspooky.com)

This one might be of interest for all the reggae and dubheads out there;)

weeeeeeeeeeee! what a blast! the elevate festival basht voll rein. der 2te tag und mein zugleich erster besuch beim elevate erinnerte mich doch sehr an sonar backstage.
was wohl die erste überaschung war ohne das programm zu kennen (rein temporär).
mike dread in bester manier als ob die zeit stehen blieb. dazu seine freunde, die ihm zeigen, was es heißt, dass man jemanden hat, der zu einem steht...die musik nimmt dich mit in eine andere welt und lässt dich alles erlebte für einen kurzen moment vergessen.
next stop Bogdan Raczynski. breaking acid into pieces of distorted hysterical hardcore ants. comming from everywhere tickeling head to feet. remark war eindeutig mein ding an dem abend.
the jungle pope himself. massive junglebeats aus den guten alten tagen sehr geil gemixt.
was ein vollblut-dj hört, hört unsereins nicht einmal bei genauem hinhören. mann und frau können froh sein, dass sie diese ansammlung von exzellenter musik erleben dürfen und nochdazu sich wohl fühlen dürfen, denn die besucher sind unseresgleichen:) noch zwei tage heisst es nun durchhalten und sich selbst zum weitermachen motivieren, denn es ist schwerstarbeit was wir hier leisten. diese art von musik nimmt dich gefangen und lässt dich nicht wieder los, wenn du zu schwach bist.
zu blöd das wir bis 5 am zweiten floor waren und modeselektor, drop the lime tja.. nicht gesehn haben. mit absicht!
und nur zur info;
// nicht schizophren aber zweisame einblicke des abends.

i stumbled upon this site quite a while ago now, UBUWEB is a superior resource on many different types of contemporary (media-) art, for example avantgarde film & video or sound. It covers many different aspects of the artform with means of theoretical texts as well as available online work in their various subsections. Two of which interest me the most are their video&film section, with work of artists such as Man Ray, John Cage or Hans Richter, just to pick a few (excuse my subjective selection)... and their audio section, where I found a mix of Dj Food about the development of the artform of cut up music. You can find the mix here... But don't stop there, this was all just a hint, the site is worth being checked out entirely.
ABOUT UBUWEB
Concrete poetry's utopian pan-internationalist bent was clearly articulated by Max Bense in 1965 when he stated, "…concrete poetry does not separate languages; it unites them; it combines them. It is this part of its linguistic intention that makes concrete poetry the first international poetical movement." Its ideogrammatic self-contained, exportable, universally accessible content mirrors the utopian pan-linguistic dreams of cross-platform efforts on today's Internet; Adobe's PDF (portable document format) and Sun System's Java programming language each strive for similarly universal comprehension. The pioneers of concrete poetry could only dream of the now-standard tools used to make language move and morph, stream and scream, distributed worldwide instantaneously at little cost.
Essentially a gift economy, poetry is the perfect space to practice utopian politics. Freed from profit-making constraints or cumbersome fabrication considerations, information can literally "be free": on UbuWeb, we give it away and have been doing so since 1996. We publish in full color for pennies. We receive submissions Monday morning and publish them Monday afternoon. UbuWeb's work never goes "out of print." UbuWeb is a never-ending work in progress: many hands are continually building it on many platforms.
UbuWeb has no need for money, funding or backers. Our web space is provided by an alliance of interests sympathetic to our vision. Donors with an excess of bandwidth contribute to our cause. All labour and editorial work is voluntary; no money changes hands. Totally independent from institutional support, UbuWeb is free from academic bureaucracy and its attendant infighting, which often results in compromised solutions; we have no one to please but ourselves.
UbuWeb posts much of its content without permission; we rip out-of-print LPs into sound files; we scan as many old books as we can get our hands on; we post essays as fast as we can OCR them. UbuWeb is an unlimited resource with unlimited space to fill. It is in this way that the site has grown to encompass hundreds of artists, hundreds of gigabytes of sound files, books, texts and videos.
Sounds like a marginal situation? Hardly. We've won many prestigious internet awards and are acknowledged web-wide as the definitive source for Visual, Concrete + Sound Poetry. UbuWeb is on the syllabus of countless schools; we've gotten queries from Ph.D. candidates seeking information to third-graders researching a paper on concrete poetry. UbuWeb embodies an unstable community, neither vertical nor horizontal but rather a Deleuzian nomadic model: a 4-dimensional space simultaneously expanding and contracting in every direction, growing "rhizomatically" with ever-increasing unpredictability and uncanniness.

I know this anouncement is a bit early...
but canadian hiphop artist sixtoo is on tour with his new album
here the dates for austria
15 Oct 2007 Sixtoo / Ghislain Poirier @ Treibhaus, Innsbruck
16 Oct 2007 Sixtoo / Ghislain Poirier @ Rhiz, Vienna
info:
checkout the documentary here
a new mix by his alterego Six Vicious is available here
Sixtoo is on some entirely other shit. Sampling live as opposed to sampling records. Playing as a musician instead of a collage-artist. Working with people that can help to fully realize the ideas within the music, as opposed to strangling ideas in order to keep them contained and manageable. His new album entitled "jackals and vipers in ency of man" is out NOW on Ninja Tune. (text taken from rhiz.org)
Montreal's Ghislain Poirier is obsessed with big, dirty beats, an affliction that causes him create some of the most out of control ragga style riddims, and deconstructed abstract hip-hop to date.
In the past Poirier has collaborated with MC's and DJ's from across the globe, working with NYC's resident Large cats MC Beans (Warp) and DJ Rupture (Tigerbeat6), as well as Parisian heavy weights TTC (Big Dada) and London's Lotek Hi-Fi (Big Dada) amongst others. (text taken from rhiz.org)

you know i can't stay away from the turntables. thats why i won't withhold the 1st side of my new mixtape from you:
the "heroes" symphony (side AA) by lens jadepfahl
namegiving for this mixtape is the "heroes" symphony of philip glass, who - in my opinion - is one of the best composers of the 21st century. that's why i decided to dedicate the first 8.57 minutes, that shall be the "intro" to what is happening afterwards, to him and his music. for me it somehow reflects life nowadays. the repetitions, the way he's composing. for me his music somehow is a mirror of the urban city, subway situations, traffic, nature. it is absolutely atmosphere creating and changing the vision (maybe you remember koyaniskatsi)
the second part of the mixtape's first side is a melange of breakcore, jungle, hip hop and electronica, which reflects same life, but in another way!
"heroes symphony" (side AA)
Philip Glass - abdulmajid
Elektro 4 - daily meditation/after shocks VS
Bizzy B - creation
Radiohead - pulk/pull revolving doors
Amen Andrews - amen andrews
Wu Tang Clan - bring the ruckus
Amen Andrews - junglism
Busta Rhymes - woo ha (origin unknown rmx) VS
Twisting Lion feat. Super Sonic - one'o'clock (freestyle mix) VS
Masta Ace - born to roll '95 VS
Dj Fresh - dope demand
