Happy new year, to all those who give of their stories, and to all those who listen!

Made in the creatively charged atmosphere of my artist friend’s Sydney studio, surrounded by paintings of ocean from the point of view of a hot air balloon (take a moment to visit WayneAshton.com and you’ll see what I mean) – La Danza Poetica 004 sails on the wind instruments of drum, string and voice, pausing to dive into the stories of griots and musicians from Ethiopia, Ghana, Botswana, the Sudan, Zimbabwe and Jamaica.

I’m late for a date with my blog! Someone flicked the winter switch while I wasn’t watching, and meanwhile March and April slipped the selections by. Better late than never … There are albums to talk about, as well as strolls through Soundcloud. I’m wandering…

Between 2005 and 2011 Australia’s global bass and post planetary beats party massive Uber Lingua has been throwing some fine brouhahas, big and small. Uber Lingua’s heartbeat (and my Dialectic Radio accomplice) Brendan Palmer (555) recently put together a fun video covering the history of Uber Lingua…

Sufi Swing

In the 175th Dialectic radio show, 555 features a mix by Andy O’Phee from the Illawarra, south of Sydney and one of my old stomping grounds, and – via a late winter afternoon of music surfing – I chance upon Sufi Swing - Iyar Semel from Tel Aviv, Israel…
