Other Lands



Brasil-based producer, deejay, and remixer Maga Bo recently dropped another 40-minute mix of impossibly unclassifiable heat. Vocalists from all corners attack the mic over a stew of diverse drum patterns, dub-hall basslines, and electronic flourishes. Surprisingly pleasing stuttering cellphone speaker buzz shows up in track three for that special touch of genius. Check here for the tracklist, here for Maga Bo's slightly more drum-n-bass-y Os Cacos mix, and look down for his outstanding collaboration "Fire" with Senegalese emcee Xuman (from 2008's Archipelagoes on Soot Records).
