Filastine

Filastine dissolves cultures and mixes genres, he's here to make his machines and complex percussion-master beats collide with a variety of languages (French, Spanish, Arabic, Portuguese...) and sounds. Violins dare to venture through unknown worlds, machines, zokras sneak around breaks and, during interludes, an omnipresent American translation evokes - as one track indicates - the Crescent Occupation of global culture. Filastine is more renown as founding member of Infernal Noise Brigade, battucada performing during anti G8 manifestations and offering a tribal percussion clamour. They used to play after ¡TchKunG !, who was already sowing the seeds of musical anti-globalisation activism through label Post-World Industries. Through the rugged geography of Burn It you will particularly remember the arabesques by Splinter Faction Delight and Autology, splintering with arrhythmic shards the voice of Jessika Skeletalia aka Jessica Kenney, gigantesque repertoire vocalist. The number of female voice on the album also hides the surprise of Mc Subzero Permafrost's golden flow, conscientiously lacerated in Boca de Ouro and which plays with counter beats and never looses its composure. The result is pretty surprising in terms of deterritorialization of sounds and in his manner of capturing and playing with the sound of ghettos and electronic music.
