New free track from Unkle Ho

Jauh is a free track from Unkle Ho featuring Nova Ruth an fresh Indonesian MC, dusty bets and vocals in Indonesian. Sweet.

<a href="http://unkleho.bandcamp.com/track/jauh-unkle-ho-and-nova-ruth">Jauh (Unkle Ho and Nova Ruth) by Unkle Ho</a>

From the release notes: 'Jauh' ('Far' in Bahasa Indonesia)

Australian beat maker Unkle Ho and Indonesian MC Nova Ruth wrote this song back in 2008 while Nova was in Sydney. It hasn't seen the light of day yet so we are offering 'Jauh' as a free download. If you enjoy the track - please send this page on!

Nova Ruth explaining the lyrics:
Dalam proses pendewasaan, tak jarang dalam mencapai tujuan, kita memilih jalan yang tidak dipilih oleh orang lain. "Jauh" bercerita tentang bagaimana kita tersesat dan yang dapat menolong kita keluar dari keadaan tersebut adalah kepercayaan diri kita sendiri.

(In our growing up process, we often choose a path that not all normal people choose. "Jauh" tells a story about how we are sometimes 'lost', and the only thing that can help us out of these circumstances is actually our own confidence.)

BxP Soundsistema release may 14th

Cat No: UW006EP
Artist: BxP Soundsistema
Title: Balkan Train EP
Release Date: 14th of May

BxP Soundsistema - Balkan train / Lord of the hansarings EP by UrbanWorld Records

Here at UrbanWorld we like to travel, we like the sounds of travel and we like to combine it in new and exiting ways. An artist who is brilliant in combining music from around the globe is Kosta Kostov of the BxP Soundsistema, born in Bulgaria, he grew up surrounded by the unique balkan music. Moving to Cologne in Germany opened his mind to clubmusic where he is the main force behind the clubs Balkan Express and Favela Blast and resident DJ of Global Player, the Funkhaus Europe Club.
On his first EP as BxP Soundsistema he is combining the sounds from the Balkan Express and Favela Blast parties, powerful balkan beats with a dancehall rhythm. He worked on this project with the greek funky breakbeat producer & dj George Fotiadis, featuring the serbian MC Killo Killo, Princess Julianna, a Jamaican singer and MC based in London and the Moroccan ribab & violin virtuose player Foulane. An important part of the production and the live shows of BxP Soundsistema is the Greek bouzouki player & percussionist Dimitrius Goldfinger Pingios. The result is fresh new production of own compositions, remixes and mashups, in which the balkan & mediterraneum meets all the nice flavas from dub & reggae through funk & breaks till basss and electro. As if this was not good enough we called Shazalakazoo to get the real sound of balkan disko, BadboE to funk it up bigtime and Al Lindrum to take it all the way to Jamaica.

Kosta Kostov will be in the USA in August 2010 (1/8-18/8) playing at the NYC Tabor Gypsy Festival (13-15/8), if you are interested in making a booking please contact him at kostov "at" gmx.de

Copia Doble Systema: Al Lindrum's mix is a kicking combination of the dancehall vibe and balkanism!
Eastenders: yess!!! kosta has done it in full effect. with all his cologne- and worldwide buddys. what a train-ride!! who needs planes anyway? catch it! peace, stefan
Dunkelbunt: very very nice. I like every single release on uwr. this label melts all stilez and bring together all the headz from the global beats scene...!
