PING 047EP
|
RSS Disco remix "Maşın" by Ya Tosiba. The DJ-and-producer trio from Hamburg focuses on the bassline and makes the synth pads shimmer. The original Ya Tosiba song is about the sudden appearance of cars on the streets of Baku in the '80s -- decades later, it's a perfect cruising track. Patric Catani aka Candie Hank delivers a hilarious, bouncing remix of Molla, paying tribute to Zuzu's funky meykhana vocals.

PING 045EP
|
Ya Tosiba is a Berlin-based duo producing bass-heavy riddims with energetic female vocals. On the mic we have Zuzu Zakaria, the versatile singer who uses mainly found, historical lyrics in her mother tongue, Azeri. On synths and drum machines we have Mesak. The head of the fantastic Harmonia label has his roots in Finland, and he is one of the pioneers of Scandinavian skweee music. The vocals use lyrics found during field studies about the history of Meykhana, which is a traditional, improvised form of rhythmic folk vocals from Azerbaijan. "Molla" is a slow head-nodder while "Masin" is a captivating disco track.
