Slang Tang Episode 4 takes us to Tunisia, Palestine, the Netherlands, Argentina, Japan, Cuba, Australian and Iraq.  Checkpoint 303 kick us off with their unique take on the Middle Eastern situation, blending field recordings and news reports with electronica and acoustic instrumentation.  We then grab two slices of digital cumbia - first from new producer Sonido Del Principe, who rubs some heavy electro into the mix, and secondly from Argentina’s DJ Negro with a track from the new Bersa Discos release, Volume 2 in their ongoing 12″ series.  Japan’s Yoshida Brothers strip everything back to basics for a frenetic workout on the shamisen, before Man Recordings’ Daniel Haaksman brings on a remix for Cuban band Madera Limpia.  We represent Australia with indigenous hip hop artist Wire MC and bring things to a close with DJ Foundation from Mosul in Iraq and his unique brand of sample-heavy plunderphonics.

In episode three of Slang Tang, we start in South Africa for a new project from Spoek (Sweat.X) and Sibot, aka Playdoe, in a remix by Toxic Avenger, then head across to Mozambique for the ‘Lady of the Bling’, aka Dama do Bling. We then hit Mexico to celebrate the new release from the Nortec Collective stable, from Bostich & Fussible and drop into Tokyo, for a collaboration between U.S. ex-pat Marxy and U.T. from Japanese performance art / noise duo, Kiiiiii! We wind down the podcast with three dubbed out tracks of different persuasions: Disrupt’s Germanic samurai digital dub, New Zealand’s Brazilbeat Sound System ‘Capoeira Dub’ and abstract cumbia from Aregntina’s Peronists.
