This live set was recorded on the occasion of Dirty Room’s appearance at the Airdrop party in Berlin at Bar 25, on June 12th. Organized for the arrival of the Fase boys in Berlin, by their two friends and transplanted Argentine clowns, Sirs Dirty Room and Santos Resiak.

You probably remember Mr. Dirty from his release on Airdrop (ADDIG008), the Itches EP, on which appeared two of his original bombs as well as remixes by the same crew of accolytes Fase Miusic Sender and Santos “Chuchugas” Resiak as well as a special appearance by Mr. Guti!

The energy is high on this set of Dirty’s, one can feel the shaking vibrations inside the famous Berlino spot, and the man is at the controls of this funky, groovy hour and half (edited to podcast length) recording. Watch out for more Dirty-ness coming up soon on Airdrop! But, not before you go clean your room you little rascal! NOW!

If you happen to be in Berlin tomorrow night, it would be a crime for you to miss this. Part of an annual tradition initiated a few years ago, the 2009 Detroit Vs. Argentina line-up is exceptional and the party will be beyond outrageous. Argentina and Detroit are homes to some of the greatest underground dance music talents, and this fantastic line-up manages to unite many of the best. No better place for that showdown then the center of the techno world: Berlin.

Needless to say, we wish we were there! Get there early, and don’t miss out on anyone!

Dropping right from the sky, the newest dance floor installment issued by the mysterious US-Argentine label AIRDROP is possibly the most surprising release to date. Why? Because the producer behind the infectious, percussive grooves is neither NYC nor Buenos Aires-based but chose to make Berlin his temporary home, marking his punchy edge by completely defying the typical benchmark criteria.

For Roman Fleischer aka Dirty Room, it’s all the same as long as he can make more music. His way of making his sounds is very self-sufficient, his approach to music that of an auspicious child immersed in its fantasy of creation. With [b]“Itches”[/b] his first EP on AIRDROP, Dirty Room dives deep down into the driving mayhem of happy discoid drum schemes that echo the organic instrumentation of classic house.

“They Will Eat You” is a joyous celebration of dance floor virtues but does not dive in electronic funk dimensions like lets say “To The Bright Side of The Soul”; stripped down to the percussive basics, his original track radiates warmth and groove, also thanks to cryptic African chant snippets.

“Itches” moves in a similar vain yet manages to lay bare a tiny tweak of crazyness that hides in shuffly delays and wobbly echoes that waft through the (dirty, hehe) room and space. A heavily driving kick drum and sassy hihats get accompanied by a comfortable bass line that has you dancing happily as it unfolds into a story-telling ear opener.

The three remixes are like freaky offspring; completely different yet somehow very similar in intention and drive. The chicos of Fase Miusic Sender win the race — they just can’t resist making marching stompers. Their “Old Skull” Remix bangs it deep down and dirty. Santos Resiak, the sporty Rosarino with lots of appeal mixes “They Will Eat You” into funky, rolling tech house dimensions. Guti — whose collective history with Dirty Room is forcing them to come out with monstrous concoctions like “Ich kenne keine Stiefken Mentimaster” — creates a slinky micro funk packed into tight loops for his version.

Sometime ago, we had dedicated a post to the fantastic Italian artist Blu. We thought that you would all be happy to end this year 2008, with some news from him. So here is a video of his recent intervention that happened in November in Berlin. Funny thing being, in the process – you can actually see him covering some of Fase’s signature characters, that they had done on their Berlin trip last year!! I think many of us would like to thank Blu for bringing such a great new dimension to street art and activism over the past few years. So check out the video below to see the whole making of the PIECE. Also check out his website by clicking here for all his most recent news.

The Buenos Aires-bred audio-visual quartet Fase Miusic Sender strike back with fierce power, possibly inspired by their recent stint in the United States: the promising AIRDROP talents toured various states, roaming the reduced outskirts of offshore electronics and undoubtedly turning on hundreds of people who thought that all is lost!

After delivering the smashing “Tres EP”, AIRDROP’s groundbreaking second digital release (featuring a remix by Sr. Replicante), the micromalic underground beast that is Fase Miusic Sender has more impact than ever, and it’s down to its driving forces to push things forward.

“I Swim Slow” is possibly the result of taking a bath in deep rhythms that bang so syrupy that the dive feels more like a hump. But: watch out! Despite shuffling reluctantly the stream takes you and pulls you into a dark abyss constructed out of evil chords that create a fierce little paranoia. You can’t escape.

Even more mind-bending: Dilo’s Remix. The well-known, producer and Igloo label boss manages to capture mind and body with the steady rhythm only to confuse them with his highly aural sounds that make it impossible not to get totally sucked up by the weirdness of the music.

“Chacarita Ho” is a creepy creature strutting the tree walled walk ways near the cemetery looking for her seedy clientele. Watch out she does not empty out your pockets while she gives you that free instand climax blow job.

To top things off, the release comes with a digital-only bonus track called “I Swim Back” that sees the swirling structures reverses and chewed up focusing on the sheer power of the elements – huge reverbs and metallic clicks – making it an extremely powerful monster of a track that is immensely compelling.

Again, the wicked world of Fase where music, painting, street art and motion graphics all warp into one is like an entire universe consisting of organically evolving structures, adapting to the evolution of music. Music that’s creating visuals, visuals creating music… and music that is creating a brainstorm. You have been warned…

It is time for a new Fase Miusic Sender Video! A couple months back we sent you through AirPod the first clip the Fase boys made for their track Missing Keyframes. You can now enjoy this new short delerium with Fase Miusic Sender’s Lejano Oeste as soundtrack!

For those of you who dont already know, Fase is currently on tour on the U.S continent, they will be playing at NYC’s Annex on Saturday Sept. 27th, Miami’s Pl0t party on October 3rd, as well as in Bar 13 in NYC on Thursday October 9th on the occasion of the AirDrop Argentine Re-Percussions party, both with w/ Dilo & Gurtz .

Also the winner of the remix competition has been announced on Indaba (and below)!

The results are finally in, after having partnered with Indaba and minitek to offer a chance for all the emerging artists around the world for their chance to remix Fase Miusic Sender’s Lejano Oeste, a track released as part of the Tres EP on AirDrop.

A special congratulations to Night Spirit who won the competition and will see his track released on AirDrop as part of the Tres remixes release due later this year with a few other special treats.

Last week-end took place the annual Festival for Independent Music of Buenos Aires, uniting not only the Argentine music industry’s key players, but also people from South America and the rest of the world. Obviously AirDrop had to have a dedicated space to represent our work and going-ons in Argentina and more. We were very happy to receive many people over the course of the week-end, may it have been for a Mario game on Sega or a chat about the label and its artists. We would like to thank especially Telexx for taking care of the stand throughout the week-end, Fase for decorating the booth so warmly and Kat for spinning some proper tunes on her turntables. Here are a few pictures.
