Level Up! - Jahtari X Uprooted Sunshine Soundsystem

Artists

Album Info

Release Date: 2014

Label: Jahtari

Mind blowing mix from 2011 by Blaise DeVille and the whole extremely international crew from Uprooted
Sunshine Soundsystem in Shanghai / China, rolling up tons of past, present and future Jahtari
tracks into one fat reel that will most likely cause some hitherto unseen excitement to your
bassbins. Featuring a load of exclusively recorded vocals in at least four (!) different languages
by Chacha (who recently did THIS excellent record on Hyperdub, alongside Kode 9 and Black
Chow), Arminda with her smooth Brazilian flow, Esia killing it in French, Didjelirium from Tahiti
rinsing it big time, the Part2Style posse from Tokyo / Japan - plus a whole battery of FX guns,
KungFu movie samples and even bigups from Clive Chin (!) this gem is an absolute must in your
boombox! (And let's not forget the previews of a bunch of-soon-to-come Jahtari releases by
Solo Banton and Soom T!). Soon out on a limited digipack-CD edition with an amazing cover
(see left)!

Uprooted Sunshine Soundsystem is a crew of bass addicts from all over the globe, who met up
in Shanghai / China in 2005 to organize regular killer events that would make any venue in
Berlin blush with shame, at China's only underground club: The Shelter (see some pics from the
trip there with Soom T & disrupt in 2010 HERE). The totally outer-national posse includes our
hero Gaz Williams (UK) - who essentially brought sound system culture to China, Blaise Deville
(Switzerland), who did this any many other fine mixes, obviously having no alternative than
becoming a deadly DJ, after being christened with the perfect DJ name by his parents. Regularly
destroying it on the mic in Shelter's bowels are also Chacha (China), Arminda (Brazil), Esia
(France) and Didjelirium (Tahiti).
