MAHSSA “FUTURE ROOTS” MIX CD

GIVE A PROTON GRANT TO GET YOUR COPY OF THIS INCREDIBLE, LIMITED EDITION CD

Mahssa’s dublab future roots mix cd "Oyun Havasi!"

designed by: Tandy Love

This fourth installment of DUBLAB’s “Future Roots” mix CD series comes courtesy of Mahssa Taghinia, an Iranian music magnet living in Los Angeles. A dedicated vinyl librarian and archaeologist she runs the US branch of the flawless Finders Keepers Records and is a regular contributor to dublab.com. Here’s what Mahsaa has to say about her sparkling Middle Eastern sound offering…

“OYUN HAVASI! is a celebration of music and culture from the Bosphoros of Turkey, to the Bandar shores of Iran, into the streets of Beirut… and beyond. This is ethnic folk, funk and fuzz echoed from the familiar, opulent sounds of my childhood and relayed to open ears and minds: a musical reconnaissance conducted – as the ‘quest for the perfect beat’ knows no cultural boundaries. And of course, every-little-thing is all the more vibrant when shared. Rare Lebanese, Persian, Azari, Turkish, Egyptian, Kurdish, and Tunisian folk – handpicked vinyl passed down from family, discovered, and sought out from the streets themselves.”

− Mahssa

Languis – Fractured

Inspirations range from Star Trek, the waft of sag aloo, a dash of pretension, sex, eight years of righteous rule and the odd nod to twenty years ago.

Their music has def beats, raw power, mysterious melodies, eastern scales, vocal harmonies, the occasional mental reverb, not to mention ripping guitar.  LANGUIS are the happening sound of skinhead acid rock.

LANGUIS are a band that immediately bring back the happenings of 20 years past as well as what is going on today.  The foursome formed in the aurora borealic regions of Los Angeles, California in 1997.  They initially signed with Simballrec for the release of their first EP, “Homesick”

The past 18 months have seen a dramatic rise in the international profile of LANGUIS.  They successfully toured the U.S., all while releasing a new single every four months and appearing on a stream of sampler records.

Now North American infiltration is at hand with FRACTURED, 15 mescal flavored tracks including the first three singles, some b sides and extra tracks all demonstrating the LANGUIS sound, a carefully measured brew, cultivated in the mushroom and poppy fields outside Los Angeles.

matthewdavid – “SPILLS”

matthewdavid – “SPILLS” ON ITUNES – PLUG RESEARCH RECORDS

Field recordings transpire on a dusty reel-to-reel. From East to West. From hanging moss to Hollywood haunts. From Dirty South humidity to the invisible voice of the streets. From The Woods to the Big city. Caught between channels, between frequencies. Tuned to a short-range satellite transmitting across eternity. On his very first release for Plug Research, matthewdavid will be your guide.
