Hello friends,

There's new music to share with you!

The full album of Turntables On Las Ramblas (compiled by Nickodemus) has finally been released and you can buy it from Wonderwheel Records or the usual places (iTunes, etc.)  We also have a few remixes done for other artists which have come out recently, "Dualidad" for von Daler & Low Pressure ft Indee Stylah and "African Life" for Sonic Funk Foundry.  Coming out on the same label as "African Life" is an single that you should check out as well, "Roots Down Low" by Native Guard on Spring Strut Recordings.  We are not a part of that release, but it's really good music...  If you haven't heard it already, you should definitely listen to our recent show for Radio SoLoud on Soundcloud.com.

Thanks and see you soon at one of our gigs!

Fieston, ¡Este Viernes! / Big Party This Friday!

This Friday we (i.e., Los Chicos Altos) are very grateful to be playing music along with the great DJs Sujinho and Nickodemus.

This gig is a celebration for the EP, Turntables On Las Ramblas, released this month by label Wonderwheel Recordings from New York!  The EP has tracks by us, Dj Sabo, Sujinho, Nickodemus and Quantic!  Also, we're going to spin (all of us) in two venues - Ocaña in Plaza Reial and later in The Family Music Club on Las Ramblas!  We will play groovy music in Ocaña and play heavier at The Family Music Club...

Put your name on the wall with how many friends are coming here:

Best City In The World? (Los Chicos Altos In NYC)

I, T-Bird, have always had a soft spot in my heart for New York City.  Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island...  I still haven't been to The Bronx, the birthplace of Hiphop--although for a moment I thought (hoped?) we (Los Chicos) might be hosted there with a kind family.  It was a pleasure to be with Maxey on his first trip to "The Big Apple."  We had some really nice folks who put us up in  Williamsburg (Hey to Spencer, Joe and Jen!) our first night there.  Spencer & Joe both talked about Williamsburg being "Hipster Central."  There are definitely eateries, watering holes and shops that all support that assertion... Later we went to separate parts of Brooklyn, Max was in Bushwick and I was in Red Hook.
Our first gig was in the East Village, Manhattan with DJ Kevlar for his BirthDAG celebration at Arrow Bar.  Arrow is a true dive bar, with a lovely, no-nonsense crew who were great to all of us, but they did have to toss a slightly nutty guy out at the end of the night...
The next gig was in Bushwick, but Max had fallen ill, so I had to represent for both Chicos.  "Bushwick Bounce" was held at The House of Yes and was put on by Dallas Wonderland of One Good Reason.  The headliner was Rusty Lazer from New Orleans--the home of "bounce" music (NOLA's version of "Dirty South" hiphop)--and hence the name "Bushwick Bounce."  DJ Dirty Finger  opened up with a nice mix of bass music, followed by $mall Change who played some more bass before taking us on a trip through some NOLA classics and closing with a bounce track based on "Iko Iko..." This lead perfectly into the headlining set from Rusty Lazer featuring Nicky Da B.  Los Chicos were next in the lineup after the hard-hitting bounce set...  I started out with some of our sexier "tropical bass" to smooth out the vibe, while still keeping the energy upbeat.  The crowd enjoyed the variation in my set, particularly the stuff with fat bass tones...  The closing set was by Joro Boro, a Bulgarian transplant to NYC who's worked with Balkan Beat Box, Bassnectar & Tinariwen.  Given those references, it's no surprise Joro's sound was quite global and still on the fat bass tip.  A bit more dub-step than Los Chicos Altos, but still in the vibe and the crowd ate it up.
I'm very happy that we made fans at our various gigs in NYC and we managed to have a great time doing it...
Next stop, San Francisco!

Taking The Capital!

Washington DC loves Global Bass! Washington DC loves Los Chicos Altos!  Our first gig on the East Coast of the USA was on the patio at Eighteenth Street Lounge along with "El Jefe," Mikael Palner of UrbanWorld Records.  In the main room was Fort Knox 5's Steve Raskin & Jon H who were our hosts. Steve said "We were trying hard to keep people in the main room--everyone was going out to the patio!"  He & Jon were actually really happy for us and the response we got.  We went to see them the next night in their new residency at Tropical on U Street.  The sound was perfect at Tropical and it had a real underground NYC kind of vibe to it...
Many thanks to the Fort Knox organization (Hi Andy!)
Next stop, NYC...

On The Road!

The Chicos are hitting the road today!  Maxey & T-Bird are headed out to the USA...  Our first gig is Friday 9/21 in Washington DC at the world-famous Eighteenth Street Lounge, which is associated with the downtempo group, Thievery Corporation.  The main room features Fort Knox 5 vs Thunderball and we're in the patio with Palner, head of UrbanWorld Records, celebrating the release of Global Bass Vol. 3 Compilation!  A few days later we're in NYC with DJ Kevlar for his "BirthDAG Fiesta" Wed 9/26 at Arrow Bar in the East Village.  Friday 9/28 we celebrate Global Bass Vol. 3 NYC-style at SOB's and we close out our week Saturday 9/29 with DJ Center at Brooklyn Terrace.  Thursday 10/4, T-Bird represents Los Chicos along with  Stereo 77, Palner and the residents of Afrolicious at San Francisco's Elbo Room.  About two weeks after that, Saturday 10/20, he will again perform as Los Chicos Altos in Vienna's Ost Klub with fellow UrbranWorld artist Al Lindrum.

Halloween y Remixes...

Generation Bass posted another of our tracks on their site!  "The Scream" was originally a Halloween-like tune (with a Psycho vibe--Hitchcock's most famous film.)  But, by request we changed the style from dubstep-y to something cumbia-flavored.  Essentially, remixing ourselves...
Also, we did a remix of Icebird (RJD2 & Aaron Livingston) and their tune "Charmed Life."  This one's more UK garage (like MJ Cole and similar producers.)

Les de Generation Bass ponían otro tema nuestro ¡en su página!  Este tema, se llama "The Scream," originalmente era apropriado para Halloween (con rollo de Psycho, la peli más conocida de Hitchcock.)  Pero, por petición, lo cambiabamos del estilo más dubstep al sabor de cumbia.  Así, remezclabamos nuestros mismos...
Además, hicimos otra remezcla del grupo Icebird (RJD2 y Aaron Livingston) y su canción "Charmed Life."  Esta vez, es más UK garage (como MJ Cole y otros productores así.)

Nuestra Fiesta del Febrero / Our February Party

Al Lindrum

La última fiesta había un nuevo chico, Al Lindrum (también conocido como "Love Avalanche.") Él no es tan alto como nosotros, pero pinchaba magnifico con Los Chicos Altos en Urban World Social Club Barcelona. Al es un artista del mismo sello que nosotros, Urban World Recordings y su estilo de dj suena bien con nuestro. Él ponía música con mucho influencia de Jamaica, dub, dancehall y cosas que suena así (e.g., dub-house, etc.)

Como la fiesta anterior, había mucha gente y muchas de ellos bailaban. Gracias a nuestra amiga Pascale que celebró su cumple en nuestro evento y trayó sus amigos. Como siempre, muchas gracias al equipo de La Bodega Del Onze (Eduardo, Paula y Iolanda) y todos que venían. Hay más fotos allí.

La prómixa es el sábado, 26 de marzo en el mismo sitio (La Bodega Del Onze, C/ Blai 8, Barcelona 08004 - Barrio Poble Sec) y el mismo tiempo (desde 23hr hasta 03hr.) ¡Nos vemos pronto!

Pascale y Amigos / Pascale and Friends

The last party there was a new guy, Al Lindrum (aka "Love Avalanche.) He's not as tall as us, but spun wonderfully with Los Chicos Altos at Urban World Social Club Barcelona. Al is an artist on the same label as us, Urban World Recordings and his DJ style sounds good with ours. He played music with a lot of Jamaican influence, dub, dancehall and stuff that sounds like that (e.g. dub-house, etc.) Like the party before, there were a lot of people and many of them danced.

Thanks to our friend Pascale who celebrated her birthday at our event and brought her friends. As always, many thanks to the crew at La Bodega Del Onze (Eduardo, Paula y Iolanda) and everyone who came. More photos here.

The next one is Saturday, 26 March in the same place (La Bodega Del Onze, C/ Blai 8, Barcelona 08004 - Barrio Poble Sec) and the same time (11pm-3am.) See you soon!

"Latin Flavored Fire" Estreno hoy / "Latin Flavored Fire" Released today

¡La Próxima Fiesta! - The Next Party!

Será divertido ¡como la primera vez! Entonces, ¡no lo perdeís! Detalles: Sábado el 12 de febrero, desde 23h hasta 3h - entrada gratis. Bodega Del Onze, C/ Blai 8 (Poble Sec) Barcelona.

We're returning very soon to Bodega Del Onze for our next party... Los Chicos Altos will be spinning with the man like Al Lindrum (aka Love Avalanche) for Urban World Social Club Barcelona. It will be fun just like the first time! Don't you miss it! Details: Saturday 12th Februrary, 11pm to 3am - free entry. Bodega Del Onze, C/ Blai 8 (Poble Sec) Barcelona.

¡Nuestra Primera Fiesta! Our First Party!

¡Gracias a todos que vinieron a Urban World Social Club en Bodega Del Onze! Apuntate el sábado 12 de febrero para la próxima sesión.

Para nosotros, la noche fue bién gracias a much@s amig@s que vinieron y el equipo del bar que son majos. Por supuesto, pinchamos música que nos gustaba y también la gente estaba de acuerdo (i.e., se disfrutó la música.) Podría ser que los temas "tropicales" cayeron bien por los ritmos exoticos - especialmente con los que tomaban coctéles como los mojitos o caiparinhas. Estas bebidas son buenas surgencias en este bar - las camareras ¡los hagan bien! Ponemos mucha música del sello Urban World Records y también unos temas del sello Spring Strut Recordings.

Pronto sacamos música con los dos sellos y ¡estamos emocionados por eso!

------------------

Thanks to everyone who came to Urban World Social Club at Bodega Del Onze! Mark the next date, Saturday 12 Feb.

For us, the night went well thanks to lots of friends who came out and the bar staff who were lovely. Of course, we spun lots of music we liked and the crowd was of the same mind (i.e., they enjoyed the music.) Maybe it's that the "tropical" tunes went down so well because of the "exotic" rhythms'--especially with those who had cocktails like mojitos or caiparinhas. Those are good drinks to try in that bar--the bartenders make them well! We played lots of music from the label Urban World Records and some by Spring Strut Recordings as well.

We're releasing music soon on both of those labels and we're very excited about it!

¡Fiesta Nueva! New Party!
