Thanks Velanche ;-) " Those crazy cats from Spain are back at it again, as Urban Landscapes bring you another guestmix from the Barna Soundmachine. Known to whip out some clever re-edits and remixes, the duo have pulled a few such gems from their collection, as well as other choice tunes. The third EP in the “Funk For Your Face” series has just been released through Blind Test, and two of the cuts from it will be part of the mix. Get ready to cut loose and go with it!"
BARNA SOUNDMACHINE @URBAN LANDSCAPES RADIOSHOW9. 41 [30.11.2006] / USA
Got a three-hour special for you, with two <a href="http://www.urbanlandscapes.org/2006/12/09/the-urban-landscapes-radioshow-941-playlist/" target="_blank">guestmixes</a> to get you inna funk vibe.The first comes from Florian Keller. Some of you know that he’s one of the most obsessive collector of rare funk 45’s on earth; others of you know him from his radio shows and club events known as Into Somethin’ (which is no more) and Party-Keller (on radio via Samurai FM and in Germany as a monthly club event); still others know him to be one of my all-time favorite DJ’s. He’s also released compilations during the last few years, and during the summer came the latest in the Party-Keller compilation series put out by Compost Records. He’s put together a tightly-woven mix that should have you groovin’ along. The other mix comes from those crazy Spainairds known as the Barna Soundmachine. With their own label called Blind Test, the outfit has released three EP’s of mash-up/re-edit versions of classic funk tunes that can stir danger on the dancefloor. Once again, BSM comes through with another winning mix.Enjoy the extra music…and thanks for listening!
RRAURL , Barna Soundmachine reedita old school [January 2007] / by Benjamin Ferreira Jr. / BRAZIL
Soul, funk, jazz e disco se renovam nas mãos desse DJ e produtor espanhol. Vem de Barcelona um moço que leva a sofisticação old-school bem a sério. Procure no Google e sua pesquisa para Barna Soundmachine chegará a minguados 600 resultados, na maioria links para seus discos em lojas pelo mundo. Mas o homem, apesar de ainda pouco conhecido, assusta com seu bom-gosto, além da louvável
preocupação em manter vivas e rodando por aí suas raízes. Seu trabalho principal é a série de singles em vinil Funk On Your Face, para o selo
Blindtest, onde reedita clássicos do soul/funk/disco/jazz. Foram refeitos, por exemplo, a rara versão de "I Thought It Was You" (1979), de Herbie Hancock, com Kimiko Kasai nos vocais, "Every Little Thing" (1995), de Chaka Khan, Sir Joe Quaterman & Free Soul
em "(I Got) So Much Trouble In My Mind" (1973), DeBarge com "I Like It" (1982), George Duke e sua "Reach Out" (1983), entre outros. Merece destaque o recém-lançado quarto volume, com o remix que pouco altera "You're The One", da adorável e saudosa Sharon Redd, e a inacreditável "Gonna Get You", baseada em generosos samples de "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" (1968), de Diana Ross & The Supremes + The Temptations. O disco também tem o breakbeat "It Goes Like This", com elementos da versão de Dick Hyman para "Give It Up Turn It Loose", de James Brown. Barna também discoteca, e muito bem, como você pode comprovar no site Brokenbeat Radio. Seu set, de julho desse ano, mostra seu ecletismo com trabalhos próprios misturados a Patrice Rushen, Michael Jackson e Brass Construction e aos modernos Matthew Herbert, Mr. Oizo, Moodyman e Outlines. É conferir e torcer para que algum promoter brasileiro se habilite para trazê-lo o mais rápido possível.
GIANT STEP, The Global Rewind [November 28th, 2006] / Article by Velanche Stewart / USA
those bad bwoys the Barna Soundmachine are at it again with the third installment of its Funk In Your Face series of dope re-edits. “Gonna Get Ya” starts off with a very familiar sample, then mixes in some 70’s vocals from a longtime R&B diva for a rockin’ tune that kills it. Also some killers including a remix of Sharon Redd and an all too-short funk/boogie gem called “It Goes Like This.”Snatch it quick, cuz the pressing’s limited.
TRAX Magazine, Funk for Your Face #04, BT004 [January 2007] / by Fernando Fuentes / SPAIN
Me dan una envidia sanísima. Primero, por tener un gusto musical tan exquisito y groovie. Después, por lucir esas cabelleras afro virtuales tan tupidas y demodé.Y finalmente, por no estar bajo la dictadura del bombo tech, ni del electrotonteo mínimo imperante. El resultado sonoro de este colectivo divaga alegremente entre el disco elegantón y la cadencia funky.Además, su lujoso componente vocal jazzy les hace subir enteros en el mercado mainstream. Tampoco hacen ascos a los guiños nu breaks en la onda de Skeewif. El caso es que mientras unos piensan que el funk es agua pasada, y turbia, hay gente que se lo curra y tiene, incluso, los bemoles de recuperar a una superdiva prehoussie como fue la visionaria Sharon Redd.
ESTEREOFONICO [Dec 2006] / USA
Con un nombre un tanto parecido a la banda de la familia Estefan, que en lugar de tener de sede Maimi estan en Barcelona. Este colectivo hace mucho mas que reediciones de temas tanto de jazz como de funk, como evidencia de esto es el Megamix que aqui les presentamos, el cual contiene temas ineditos que son realmente increibles, asi que pulsa en la imagen para escuchar esta supermegamezcla.
