Sonido Ojo Rojo Blog

First off, if you do not have a clue what I'm getting at here, be advised, there's a thing out there called Wikipedia which tells you things - like THESE.

Having clarified that, we are proud to announce a free release called KSO 10 (Trees), a collaboration effort between DJ Kompact and renown Brooklyn rap-artist Cerebral Vortex. It's a quite explicit ode to the high life and also a teaser to the forthcoming KORG DS-10 project EP by Kompact called One Week.

So, without further ado, you can either download it directly from this site:

...or obtain the release in every imaginable format from the brand new and shiny

BANDCAMP SITE.

Enjoy! Spread the word and drop a comment every now and then ;)

As you might have noticed already, Sonido Ojo Rojo stands for quality tunes but is far from being a major with a 500+ people staff. Handmade quality takes time, that's why we want to apologize for any delays and give you a little update of what's going on right now:
SOR004 DJ Kompact - Illuminate 7" is in its final stages of production and we've updated the Releases page accordingly so you can prelisten to the tracks. Pre-ordering is open now via email or later this month via hhv.de or juno.co.uk.

Stay tuned for this one!

 

Now to something different: Most of you might already know it, it's one of my personal favorite mixes named Blunted in the Bomb Shelter by Madlib. It's a  truly blunted mix of 45 Trojan releases and available to download for free now. Get the whole story behind this gem and the files at the Rappcats Blog.

Peace.

As you might have noticed, Sonido Ojo Rojo hasn't been sleeping this year and put out 2 releases already with another one waiting to be dropped in August.

With a growing number of stores, both online and physical, we thought this might be the time to update you about the current situation:

Releases SOR002 DJ Kompact - Return Of July 7" and SOR003 Obahuba - Hart & Zart 12" can be found in these cities: Vienna, Graz, Salzburg, Innsbruck, Munich, Berlin, Barcelona, London and New York City with an ever growing shop list. For further details head over to the corresponding release pages.

If you can't find your city or if you just don't want to leave home, SOR releases can be ordered online at HHV.de (Germany) or at .

I'm going for a swim and don't forget: ROTAUG GOES FLORIDO TONITE!

As you might have noticed already, over the last couple of days your rotaug.com experience might not have been as joyful as usual since we had some trouble with our server. But thanks to Rotaug's own mighty Berserka and Willi from Typoheads we're back online again with lots of info coming your way. Watch out!

The Vertual Vertigo Europe Tour, which started last Friday at Café Strom, Linz (Thx to Flip...) has reached a peak last Saturday in Innbruck with a great lineup and a incredible partycrowd! Thanks go out to Albi, Monomassive, Mosch and the rest of the crews for having us and Amewu, Wisdom and especially DJ Werd for their gifted life performance and for sharing the stage with us. It's been a BLAST!

But it's not over yet. The Tour continues TODAY Monday, June 8th at Café Leopold, MQ Vienna at 22:00 with FREE entry! So come bring a couple of friends if you want to enjoy a monday night like no other before...

After the Austria shows, we will be heading up to Berlin to perform at the official Vertual Vertigo "Sparkies Bungalow" CD Release party alongside Berlin based producer 8bit on Wednesday, June 10th.

Last but not least, Sonido Ojo Rojo has been hard at work too with 2 new releases coming up this summer: Hart & Zart 12" by Obahuba and Illuminate feat. 215 The Freshest Kidz 7" by DJ Kompact. Go check it out at our Release Page.
