Space Ranger (12-inch) Nothing’s Wrong

January 30th, 2012

Space Ranger (12-inch) Nothing's WrongSpace Ranger is back on patrol. Moving house and a peaktime affair plus a couple of remixes coming from Moscow and Barcelona. This is a hell of a 12”!

Another set of remixes (the last one) off of their stunning debut album “What About The Magnetic Fields?” This time it’s Moscovians Lipelis & Simple Symmetry from the super hip Pompeya who team up for an El DeBarge-style cosmic funk-pop affair, while Barcelona resident Barbena takes things the deep-house way. You also get the original and house monster “Music” in the package. It doesn’t get much better than this.

Banda Achilifunk in Madrid for the first time

January 16th, 2012

For the first time in Madrid, the Banda Achilifunk & Ensemble Taller de Musics will play live in Madrid with the presentation of their album Gitano Real (Lovemonk, 2011).  The show will take place on February 9 at 22:00 at Sala Galileo Galilei, as part of Girando Por Salas del Instituto Nacional de las Artes Escénicas y de la Música.

Banda Achilifunk

They’re a quartet of top-line rumberos (Sam Mosketón, Muchacho, Jack Tarradellas and Rambo), and masters of funk (Lalo López and Paco Mantecao of the Fundación Tony Manero) and jazz who have come together to play classic funk and Catalán rumba tracks. This current line-up brings a new character, seasoned with a metal section from the Original Jazz Orquestra Taller de Músics.  Its a project that, under the musical direction of Paco Mantecao, achieves a special sound that we call “big band rumba funk”.

Gitano Real is the culmination of the Achilifunk trilogy which began in 2007 with the acclaimed album/book compilation thought up by Txarly Brown, the most knowledgeable payo in all things rumba and a driving force in the rumba resurgence that is currently taking Barcelona by storm.
