Riddims Tropicale #37

Finally a new episode of Riddims Tropicale arrived, as always mixed live and soaked with rum by yours truly Marflix –  this time fully dedicated to Kompa (or Compas): The Punch en musique Edition.

Kompa – The father of Zouk, grand daddy of other genres like Kizomba was always here, maybe kinda hidden in the shadow the omnipresent Zouk Pop and Zouk Love. Since a while a young generation of bands (like Cruz La, Xtassy, Harmonik and more) and producer / DJs (like DJ Excel, 5Lan, Krezibeatz, DJ Douly) of the Haitian diasporas, esp in Montreal, NY or Miami are creating a new style and giving Kompa a new twist. Maybe not really new, let’s say more radical: the riddims get slower and the songs have less focus on the vocals. Many DJs even cut out the vocals, leaving just a chorus and looping the instrumental parts. Reduce to the core, reduce to the gouyad.

In Berlin you might hear Gouyad Kompas on our “Punch en Musique” night, a monthly in the Caribbean restaurant Madinina where we lime with some rum punches and Martiniquen food.

Riddims Tropicale #34

Riddims Tropicale, the most progressive radioshow on the net as far as I know :P, is back from the Summer break with three amazing guest DJs: DJ Orion and King Louie, who also visited Riddims Tropicale last year, are back back again, together with Shawn Reynolds.

DJ Orion and King Louie are part of Peligrosa crew, a party night and DJ & producer crew in Austin, Texas USA. Both were on their European tour this August, visiting Berlin for a few days.

With them came Shawn Reynaldo (twitter), who was in Berlin as a writer for XLR8, so we invited him to do a set, too. Shawn is  on of the founders of Bersa Discos label dedicated to Cumbia. He’s also doing a monthly night in San Francisco called Tormenta Tropical.

Expect a radioshow extraordinairy where genre names are not much of a help anymore.. dive into the world of Tropical riddims.
