JAPANESE MONK TATSUMI MIXES FROM HIS HOSPITAL BED
The only limitations are those you set for yourself.
This past Aprli FACT covered the fascinating and sad story of Tatsumi, a Japanese monk who is also apt at scratching, beatboxing and skateboarding.
Tatsumi was one of the central characters in the documentary KanZeOn, a meditation on buddhism and sound, that has been praised for its unique angle and storytelling. Earlier this year the makers of the documentary reached out to let us know that Tatsumi had completed an album, a staggering journey through eletronic music, as well as sharing the news that he had been diagnosed with a serious illness.
Following on from Joe Muggs’ interview with Tatsumi, we have a video preview of a mix he completed while in hospital, performed entirely from his bed. The mix is intended as a thank you for all the support Tatsumi has received so far. Despite its setting the video also affirms it is possible to stay upbeat while undergoing chemotherapy. And as a comical side note, apparently on the other side of the dividing curtains you can see in the video were three men in their 80s wondering what the hell was going on.
You can watch the mix preview below and head over to Soundcloud to stream and download it. There is also a full length video of the mix.
In addition you can also stream and download an exclusive non album track, ‘distance’, beneath the video. Tatsumi’s album, Travel Through Worlds is released on Bandcamp on June 21st. There are already two album tracks available if you want to hear more.

London Grammar | Hey Now (Tensnake Remix)
Occasionally, a song comes along that gets remixed to oblivion. And inevitably, out of the 50 remixes or so, one or two rise to the top. I'm not saying Tensnake's version of "Hey Now" is my favorite, but it's certainly put a spin on the track that I wasn't expecting. This one starts out nice and slow, but quickly segues into a nu-disco vibe — exactly the opposite of what I was anticipating. And for that, it deserves a feature on Indie Shuffle.

Blaqstarr | Gangsta | Blaq-Files
The Blaq-Files is out on 1/23 on Jeffree's / Mad Decent!
Blaqstarr is back! Prep yourself for the release of The Blaq-Files with an early free download of a Blaqstarr classic, "Gangsta!"
We've dusted off 4 of the heaviest unreleased tracks from the Supastarr era here and brought them into the light with brand new mixing and mastering. You might have come across these over the years but these new versions are super crisp and loud, doing justice to four classic tracks that were previously only available as low quality mp3s. Lose your mind all over again with "Hands Up Thumbs Down", "Lemme Hump You", "I Can Feel It In The Air" and "Slide To The Left."

The Evolution of Cumbia | Music In Monterrey
Since the 60's, Monterrey has listened and danced to cumbia, a style of music originally imported from Colombia. Although it once played through the sound systems of Mexico City, nowhere else was cumbia received with as much passion as in Monterrey. There are several theories about how this city in the north of Mexico, thousands of kilometers away form Valledupar, became a stronghold of Colombian cumbia. The most accepted is that local sound systems, known as sonideros, started bringing records from Mexico City and Houston for their parties, particularly in the working-class neighborhoods of Campana and Independencia.
After a couple decades, cumbia in Monterrey evolved and found its own identity. In addition to the sonideros, bands appeared, first playing covers of classic songs, and later songs of their own, with Celso Piña being the most representative figure of this movement. At the same time, Colombians from Monterrey who listened to this music started developing their own fashions, a very particular way of dressing, dancing, and wearing their hair in a style that is neither Colombian or northern Mexican.
In company of Satanás (Satan), a local promoter and concert photographer, we went dancing to the Fe Music Hall, where we saw the Cumbiamberos RS in a face-off with other local bands. We went to a neighborhood party in the Amilpa neighborhood, we visited Rafael Dueñes (one of the first sonideros from Monterrey, who by mistake invented slowed down cumbias) in Independencia, and we talked with Toy Selectah, who, after Control Machete, has innovated, mixed, remixed and reinvented cumbia. Just as Celso Piña says, "We brought cumbia from Colombia to Monterrey, and from Monterrey to the world".
Cumbia has changed. The local scene has diminished in recent years because of the narco related violence that has hit the city, and the army and police cut the sideburns of many Colombians. Still, the party goes on, and these guys continue to dance and dance in circles to the rhythm of guaracha.
