Waer, Drum Cirkill Mixtape MP3
Perhaps spelling it “circle” was too touchy feely, but Waer’s new mixtape definitely kills (wah wahhh). Mixing lots of African-inspired hand-drum tracks (roots of funky?) with the occasional irregular dancefloor electro and focusing entirely on A) unceasing heartbeat-like rhythm and B) lasering his way into your mind. Basically, this is the kind of collection we wish we heard more frequently in the cluhhhb in New York. It is both visceral and entirely corporeal, not too heady either. Waer, if you are reading this, please give us your weblink in the comments, some fronting-ass fronters in Syracuse are making you very difficult to google. Tracklist after the jump.

Total Freedom & Nguzunguzu, “Wildness (Club Vortex Mixtape)”
Club Vortex is a monthly held at Glasslands in NY where all manner of outré/vanguard worldwide dance musics are played, and prior to each episode the guest DJs make a mixtape. The next installment is Kingdom’s b-day, FADER fave Maluca is performing live (always a rad time) and guest DJs Total Freedom and Nguzunguzu from Los Angeles are bringing the vibe of their Wilderness party to the Brooklyn warehouse setting, which according to this mixtape may include the Keri Hilson vox from “Swag On” over some kind of organic sounding triple-syncopated kinda-ragga rhythms, a possible Bollywood track blended with maybe the song from the “Natasha!” scene in Party Girl, Nicki Minaj “Go Hard” with a total BK-style drumline backing track, and copious drops filtered through a witness-protection-program vocal converter. This is all speculation, not actual scientific tracklistage, but the tape is hot and when you go to the party this Friday, July 10th (details here), you will not be hearing anything boring, played, wack or 100% identifiable. Happy B-day Kingdom!

- story THE FADER
Yesterday we put up our style video with Mad Decent New Vanguard™ of Popo and Maluca. Today we’ve got a glimpse at the punchy future ahead of Maluca, New York City-based Dominican hotstepper. She’s got a quick snap and a proclivity for the kind of percussion you hold in your hand and hit with a stick—the kind of woman Junot Diaz would love. Her Diplo-produced first single “El Tigeroso” will be out on a 12-inch next month via Mad Decent, including this remix by Nguzunguzu.
