DJ Warp
Kate Simko
DJ Warp has been on the scene for years, playing IDM, ambient, experimental
and just good music. Now he is in charge of booking the Chicago Cultural
Center and helped set-up the Summer Dance series that showcased some great
electronic music shows in Grant Park last summer. He has a good ear and
great music collection- we're looking forward to hearing what he plays! As
far as artists: He will be playing tracks from Brazil, Cuba, Columbia,
Mexico, Peru, and Chile, ranging from traditional to electronia:
Caetano Veloso, Domenico +2, Milton Banana, Airto Moriera, Sin Palabras,
Sidestepper, Joe Cuba, Willie Bobo, Atom Heart, Catchaito Lopez, Milton
Nascimento, Bossacucanova, Tom Ze and more...
The music she will be playing will feature music from Chile, Argentina and
Brazil, from the 1940's to present. As some of you know, she just returned
from a couple weeks in Argentina. Her friends in Buenos Aires are excited
that she has this gig and copied her 10GB of music for the night! She's
sifted through it and selected the best cuts, from them and friends in
Chile.
Here are some examples:
- Argentina: tango artists, Juana Molina, techno from the Zensible label,
Fantasias Animadas and
Gustavo Lamas (Buenos Aires)
- Chile: Mambo Tour (lesser-known group featuring vocalist from Sr.
Coconut), Los Jaivas remakes-
(1960's protest music from Chile- redone in 2003 by Toby Freund, Pier
Bucci and Argenis Brito into
beautiful electronic songs), Sr. Coconut- live at Royal Festival Hall-
great extended jazz
versions of Kraftwerk cumbia remakes), Javiera Mena, Esqueleto, Atom Heart
- Chileam protest music: Violetta Parra- 1960's Chilean icon (one of her
songs was remixed by
Ricardo Villalobos and the extended version was the last song played at
MUTEK Chile 04), Victor
Jara - protest music from the 60's and 70's- killed by the CIA-backed
coup), etc.
- Chilean electronic music from those who stayed and those who fled
- Brazilian bossa nova - classic and modern
