RH+ – Quintana Roo (Nacional)

Leave it to Nacional Records to come up with another great act! Introducing RH+ or formerly known as ā€œRock Hudsenā€ by their Santiago, Chile hometown.

Donā€™t let their hometown Santiago fool you though, these guys sound more like they came from London, Paris, Vienna or ā€¦..Greenland!

RH+ ā€˜Quintana Rooā€™ is simply original and was produced with the help from local beatmaster and Nacional label mate DJ Bitman. On first listen Iā€™m sucked in by the atmospheric turntabling, efx and vocal sampling. It almost reminds me of the Orb! But donā€™t let that fool you, this is definitely an artist record not a dj record. Think Stereolab meets Bent on some songs, then Cicada Meets Hooverphonic and The Orbā€¦Wow!

Quintana Roo is a tasty blend of chilled (almost ambient) grooves mixed with straight ahead pop-rock. Were playing 8 of 15 songs from ā€œQuintana Rooā€ on AREA54 if that says anything.

Quintana Roo

Empire of the Sun ā€“ Walking on a Dream (EMI)

2008 debut album from Australian duo Empire Of The Sun is definitely a standout musically and visually. Check out at the album art, they look like they just came off the set of ā€œDuneā€ ā€¦and the face paint stays on during their live performances and Youtube videos!Ā  And yes, their name was really influenced by the movie.

These guys play right into the hands of our retro roots and it seems they also play into the hands of the best remix DJā€™s because there are some great mixes that weā€™ll play on the 94/7 AREA54 Cocktail mix.

If you enjoyed the sound of the early 80’s New Wave era, this one will be a hit! Empire of the Sun have a great feel for the sound of yesterday using all the advantages of modern technology. For AREA54 our favorite tracks are “Walking on a Dream” and “We are the Peopleā€ among some other buried jems.

Fort Knox Five ‘Radio Free D.C.’ (Fort Knox Recordings)

Fort Knox Five is a leading force in the international funk and breaks scene.Ā  Sid Barcelona, Jon Horvath, Rob Myers and Steve Raskin are the masterminds behind Fort Knox Five and have released an arsenal of floor rocking singles and remixes.Ā  Their renowned ā€˜Fort Knox Soundā€™ has overtaken dance floors with its distinct interweaving of live instrumentation with funky electronic breakbeats.Ā  Fort Knox Fiveā€™s talent for organic hooks has made them highly sought after by producers and remixers. They have over 20 remixes to their credit, including mixes for A. Skillz and Krafty Kuts, Kraak & Smaak (The Remix Sessions) , Ursula 1000 (Ursadelica), Dynamo Productions, and Moā€™ Horizons (Some More Horizons), as well as remixes for the legendary Tito Puente, Louis Armstrong, and Bob Marley (Roots, Rock, Remixed). Further cementing Fort Knox Fiveā€™s reputation, Afrika Bambaataaā€”the godfather of hip-hopā€”asked them to produce four tracks on his album, Dark Matter Moving at the Speed of Light.

Tapped by URB Magazine for its annual ā€œNext 100ā€ list, Fort Knox Five ā€™s music has been featured on major compilations including the highly regarded Hotel Costes, Vol. 7: Sept and has been licensed to numerous films, television shows, commercials and video games. They also recently finished production on six original interactive tracks in the Fort Knox style for a major video game soundtrack.

For their highly anticipated debut album, Radio Free Dc, Fort Knox Five take things back to their roots and keep the vibe centered around Washington D.C. Home to many pioneering artists like Marvin Gaye, Chuck Brown and Fugazi, they draw upon their cityā€™s rich musical heritage of funk, soul, punk and hip-hop for their inspiration. Fort Knox Five invited their close friends from around the Nationā€™s Capitol, including Asheru (Unspoken Heard), Mustafa Akbar, Rootz & Zeebo (See-I), Sleepy Wonder and Ian Svenonius (Nation of Ulysses/The Make Up) to help them create a record that captures DCā€™s musical diversity.
