Exclusive Quantic Mulatu Show Mix Ready to Download Now!

Monday, March 29th, 2010

The Timeless Concert Series wasn’t just a series of stunning performances. All the shows were framed by our favorite DJs. From Madlib to J.Rocc to DJ Nuts and more. Cut Chemist even raised the bar with a one turntable romp!

For the Mulatu show, Quantic brought along something very special .

In 2004 Quantic, Miles Cleret and B+ went to Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia to find records and meet with Mulatu Astatke. It was there and then the first thoughts of bringing Mulatu to LA were hatched. So it was fitting that Quantic came to LA to DJ for Mulatu and brought with him records almost all found on that first unique trip.

Ethiopia has many musical traditions indeed not all of them have made it to vinyl. But those chunks of plastic contain some secrets that you really have to go to Addis to find. Trawling ebay is never the same as a trip to East Africa.

Quantic made that trip. And at the Luckman Theater on February 1st, 2009 he buckled everyone in, and took us on a one hour flight back. Here is his DJ set in its entirety. Don’t be alarmed by the crackle, that’s what 30 plus year old records sound like.

After 10 Years, Mochilla Is Back at SXSW For The Premiere of TIMELESS

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

MOCHILLA and VTECH present

the PREMIERE SCREENING OF TIMELESS

Featuring live performances with full orchestras by Mulatu Astatke, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson interpreting the music of JDilla and Arthur Verocai.

This Saturday in Austin completes a ten year cycle for Mochilla.

Way back in 2001 – with the help of a phone call from Elvis Mitchell, Keepintime: Talking Drums and Whispering Vinyl premiered at SXSW. We opened for Doug Pray’s seminal documentary “Scratch.” This weekend, a full ten years later, Mochilla is back with three 73 minute long epics.

The premiere of the Timeless Series featuring Mulatu Astatke, the music of JDilla and Arthur Verocai at the George Washington Carver Theatre on Saturday March 20^th will be a premiere like no other. Instead of showing all three films back to back or indeed making a screener edit of all three films, we will be doing something historic. J.Rocc, of the World Famous Beat Junkies, and possibly the greatest DJ on the planet right now, will be djing all three films live in front of your very eyes. Using the newest Serato technology J.Rocc will be manipulating the films using vinyl on turntables to control the hi-res film files. He will also make a live megamix of all three films. As far as we know, this has never been done, so don’t miss this opportunity to see some history go down.

So it is with much of excitement and expectation that we invite all of you to come and celebrate this historic return to SXSW with Mochilla this Saturday. The screening is from 3-6pm.

The after-party is from 9pm to 1am at Malverde and will feature from Los Angeles: J.Rocc, from Cali, Colombia: Will Quantic, from Sao Paulo, Brasil: DJ Nuts, from Los Angeles and Mochilla: Coleman, from Limerick, Ireland and Mochilla: B+ as well as Austin’s own Chicken George and Sun.

Please RSVP to events@mochilla.com

HEAR THE WORLD

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

Photo by B+

The holidays are here, and VTech and Mochilla would like to say thank you with an exclusive and very special download.

Between August 2008 to August 2009, Mochilla and VTech brought you an exceptional array of musical events that pushed the boundaries of today’s music. Ethiopian jazz, Colombian Funk, Brasilian Folk, Jazz, fusion and Hip-Hop – where elders met with youth, where every idea is good, where mistakes are just part of the process and where the audience is the judge.

In “Hear The World,” Eric Coleman (Mochilla), mixes the very best musical moments of the year into one completely exclusive mix CD taken from the recordings made.

Where else could you experience the music of Mulatu, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson and the Suite for Ma Dukes Orchestra, Arthur Verocai, Azymuth, Quantic and his Combo Barbaro, Karriem Riggins, Jackson Conti, Exile and more all on one album?

The answer is nowhere but on The Sounds of VTech.

Download and listen to what’s possible.

Happy Holidays from Mochilla and VTech…
