Catalogue: Borderless: "Diaspora Remixed" - Watcha Clan

Watcha Clan are the fierce posse of musical nomads to watch out for lately, their multi-ethnic, multi-groove infusions whip audiences into a dance frenzy, regardless of where in the world W-Clan happen to be on their never-ending tour trail. Along the way they've met talented DJs, fellow musical travelers on dance floor journeys. Friendship and mutual inspiration blossomed, communicated in the languages of dub, ragga, reggae, drum'n'bass and electro, sung to melodies traditional or modern, with arabic and Mediterranean flavorings. "Diaspora Remixed" is Watcha Clan's tuneful travel diary, documenting these encounters in descriptive sound chapters. The authors include pioneering London collective Transglobal Underground, Balkan breakbeat maestri and kazoo virtuosi Shazalakazoo, EarthRise SoundSystem (NYC), Viennese sound-spice mixer Dunkelbunt, Dj Click (Paris), Gaetano Fabri (Brussels), BalkanXpress Soundsistema (Cologne), Spark (Berlin), Undergang & Mars Exist (Marseille), Barrio Populaire (Hamburg) and Stratman (Athens). Each give Watcha Clan's music a new, individual interpretation. Have a listen and take a sound trip.

Available on extra-heavy 180 gram vinyl with 6 tracks (LP-PIR2336) and digital download with 13 tracks (OCD-PIR2336)

Press quotes

"Transglobal Underground, Balkan Xpress Soundsistema und ein paar andere übliche Verdächtige quadrieren den outernationalen Mix und gestalten das vom Watcha Clan observierte Gebiet von Jamaika bis Balkan via Tel Aviv back to London aus, mit zuverlässig groovendem Karneval-der-Kulturen-Wumms."
