Download: Stones Throw Podcast 61: DJ Kutmah – Throwing Stones

Kutmah is a DJ from the Los Angeles scene known for his affiliation with Dublab and Low End Theory … that is, he was until a couple months ago when a pack of federal immigration agents raided his pad, threw him in the detention center in the desert, and eventually deported him to his resident country, UK.

We’d been talking about a Kutmah podcast for a while, and knowing that he’d be released someday, brought it up again via jail mail. Kutmah’s now a free man, living temporarily in Manchester UK, and finally got enough of his equipment together to put together this 50 minute mixtape.

Check for Kutmah at the August 14th Brainfeeder show in London, on the Kutmah Twitter, and read about his detention and deportation ordeal in an interview with Jeff Weiss over at LA Weekly.

Stones Throw Podcast #60: Mayer Hawthorne & The County Live in Berlin

Nature Sounds Podcast 3: Ultimate Hip-Hop Classics With R.A. The Rugged Man

Underground rap legend R.A. The Rugged Man runs through some of his favorite jams, complete with extra-rugged commentary.

It was two years ago that Gilles visited Cuba for the first time on a reconnaissance mission to check out the new generation of Havana-based artists. Suitably impressed, he was back within the year for a 5-day session at the legendary Egrem Studios with Roberto Fonseca and his superb band. Revelling in his role as executive producer, it was a hot, sweaty, intense session but a fruitful one nonetheless.

We released those tracks on an album entitled ‘Gilles Peterson presents Havana Cultura: New Cuba Sound’, and with GP living as much in the electronic/dance scene as in the jazz world, the decision to commission remixes of these session tracks was an easy one. Consolidating the numerous parts was by no means as straightforward, nor indeed was settling on our preferred remixers to coax the spirit of the Egrem session into the club. In the end, we settled on a squad of big-hitting producers that we trusted to do justice to the original jams: the likes of Louie Vega, MJ Cole, 4hero, Carl Cox, Rainer Trüby, Gotan Project’s Philippe Cohen Solal, Seiji, Michel Cleis and Mocky. All veterans of the Worldwide underground and all equipped with the skills and experience to flip Havana Cultura onto a another level. And of course, in order to maximise the Cuban flavour, we cut DJ Wichy and Doble Filo loose on their favourites from the album, with awesome results.

1. Roforofo Fight (Louie Vega Remix)
2. Chekere Son (Alex Patchwork Remix)
3. Rezando (Michel Cleis Remix)
4. La Revolucion del Cuerpo (Skinner’s Owiney Sigoma Mix)
5. Afrodisia (Rainer Trueby Remix)
6. Lagrimas de Soledad (No Existen Palabras) (d’Wala Riddimix)
7. Think Twice (4hero Remix feat. Danay & Carina)

The album ‘Gilles Peterson presents Havana Cultura: Remixed’ is released on 7th June 2010 via Brownswood Recordings.
