Filastine returns to Shockout in this collaboration with partner and fellow nomad, Maga Bo. Together they are Sonar Calibrado. Meeting in different countries with their mobile production studios the duo built this four song EP, a collection of tracks that are not only all bangers on the dancefloor, but have a density and detail that takes them well beyond that. The three tracks at ragga tempo nearly constitute a genre of their own, defined by syncopated percussion, sub-bass, & distorted melodies, and featuring the filthiest rappers from Brazil and Morocco:  Speed Freaks, Mario Z & Jawad.  Os Assasinos jumps tempo to Rio baile funk and features one of the genre's most infamous gangsters, Mr Catra, while steering well clear of the cliches with it's chopped up arabic strings and gunshot batucada.

Maga Bo's new CD, Archipelagoes,  comes on dj/Rupture's Soot Records right now! He just returned to his base in Rio de Janeiro from a wide tour of North America, including the (dubious) WMC in Miami.  Filastine released his wildly successful first record Burn It in 2006 and has toured the whole earth a few times over since then, & is now about ready to drop his next CD.  Sonar Calibrado gets busy whenever these two cross paths... Amsterdam, Tangier, NYC, or Barcelona, working by day and throwing guerilla street parties by night; during carnival in Rio with pirated electricity, or from a mobile car sound system in the States.
