• Dubforms 4
  Sep 8th, 2007 - View Schedule
  at: Open Studios

Filastine’s music has been described as “juddering hiphop/modern R&B rhythms, South American breaks, North African trance, and a grip of vocal and instrumental contributors from every corner of the world.” Another writer calls it “hip-hop and jungle mixed seamlessly with Middle Eastern strings, French and Spanish rapping, dancehall toasting, Hindi singing and countless other global sources.”

1. As “a sweat-inducing club DJ and composer of wildly diverse and drrty laptop music” Filastine remixs his own material along/against other loops and acapellas, layers this with live percussion, and mounts his equipment on a pair of shopping carts, one of which also functions as percussion. (Filastine is well-aware of the dubforms sub woofer situation and promises to make full use of the bass bins.)

2. As passionate seeker for global change, he is the founding member of the Infernal Noise Brigade, an anarchist marching band that has performed in demonstrations across the world, facing off against riot cops, rubber
bullets and tear gas while creating cacophonies of tribal percussion and confusion. Filastine is the drummer for the anti-capitalist music/performance troupe ¡Tchkung!, and is an overflowing handful of other political sound action.
