When we were discussing Moses&#8217; mixtape for Discontent, we were both keen to push towards more innovative and experimental material &#8211; music that that we both loved, but perhaps didn&#8217;t get to expose often enough. Here, Moses presents a wonderful selection of sounds from &#8216;the Americas&#8217;, and &#8211; as he&#8217;s named in &#8216;Volume One&#8217; &#8211; I&#8217;m hoping that we&#8217;ll see a sequel before too long.<\/span><br \/>\n<\/em><strong>Stuart Buchanan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/discontentblog.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/01\/discontent-mixtape-cover.jpg\"><\/a>&#8220;Americas Vol. 1 is sourced from the Spanish-speaking Americas, but there are many other languages spoken from Alaska to Patagonia.  Exploring andean minimal, huarachegaze, nueva cumbia and other experimental genres hopefully never to be deciphered, Americas Vol. 1 is not about being a definitive compilation of \u201cFuturistic Sound from Latin America\u201d, but attempts to be a mixtape as platform for a dialogue of the past with the future.  Also, while as a DJ, performer and producer it\u2019s mostly my aim to make you dance above all else, I took this mixtape as an opportunity to expose other sounds I\u2019ve been hearing, and digging, from the Americas.  Although I travel as much as possible, much of my exploration of music is via internet from my home base in Australia, so it was only appropriate to also make this an opportunity to present some of the best music that is little represented even in countries of origin and can only be sourced via cyberAmericas.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/em><strong>Moses Iten (a.k.a. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/sakamoiz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">saca la mois DJ<\/a><\/strong><strong>!!)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>DOWNLOAD: <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight:normal;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.discontentblog.com\/downloads\/Americas_Volume_One-A_Mixtape_by_Moses_Iten.zip\">Americas Volume One, A Mixtape by Moses Iten<\/a> (108MB)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1<\/strong>. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/elremolon\"><strong>EL REMOLON<\/strong><\/a><strong> feat. <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/sumergido\"><strong>SUMERGIDO<\/strong><\/a> Remoloneando &#8211;<em> from \u2018Cumbia Bichera EP + Remixes\u2019 on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pueblonuevo.cl\">Pueblos Nuevos<\/a>, 2007 (Argentina)<\/em><br \/>\n<strong> 2.<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/mikamartini\"><strong>MIKA MARTINI<\/strong><\/a> Iniciacion &#8211;<em> from \u2018Mestizo\u2019 on <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pueblonuevo.cl\"><em>Pueblos Nuevos<\/em><\/a><em>, 2007 (Chile)<\/em><br \/>\n<strong> 3<\/strong>. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/marcelofabian\"><strong>MARCELO FABIAN<\/strong><\/a> Negros y Serenos &#8211;<em> from \u2018NF0005\u2019 on newfolder.com.ar, 2008 (Argentina)<\/em><br \/>\n<strong> 4.<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/thesoundoftremor\"><strong>TREMOR<\/strong><\/a> Viajante (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/cumbiacosmonauts\">THE CUMBIA COSMONAUTS<\/a> Remix), 2009 &#8211;<em> upcoming release on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zzkrecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ZZK Records<\/a><\/em><em> (Argentina\/Australia)<\/em><br \/>\n<strong> 5. <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/kingcoya\"><strong>KING COYA<\/strong><\/a><strong> feat. <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/thesoundoftremor\"><strong>TREMOR<\/strong><\/a><strong> &amp; <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/axelkrygier\"><strong>AXEL KRYGIER<\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong>Don Axelina &#8211; <em>from &#8216;Cumbia De Villa Donde&#8217; on<a href=\"http:\/\/www.zzkrecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ZZK Records<\/a>s, 2009 (Argentina)<\/em><br \/>\n<strong> 6. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/tremoloaudio\">TREMOLO AUDIO<\/a> <\/strong>El Ya Sabia &#8211; <em>from &#8216;Random V 1&#8217; on Mil Records, 2004 (Mexico)<\/em><br \/>\n<strong> 7. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/kampion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KAMPION<\/a><\/strong> Primaveral &#8211;<em> from &#8216;Invisible EP&#8217; on Filtro, 2005 (Mexico)<\/em><br \/>\n<strong> 8. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/theperonists\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">THE PERONISTS<\/a> <\/strong>La Cumbia Del Laberinto &#8211; <em>previously unreleased, 2009 (Argentina)<\/em><br \/>\n<strong> 9. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/aldobenitez\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ALDO BENITEZ<\/a> <\/strong>D\u00eda Libre (CHANCHA VIA CIRCUITO Remix) &#8211;<em> from &#8216;El Portafolio Sin Un Peso on Peaton, 2009 (Argentina)<\/em><br \/>\n<strong> 10. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/elremolon\">EL REMOLON<\/a> <\/strong>Cumbia Bichera (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/thesoundoftremor\">TREMOR<\/a> Mix) &#8211; <em>from \u2018Cumbia Bichera EP + Remixes\u2019 on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pueblonuevo.cl\">Pueblos Nuevo<\/a>, 2007 (Argentina)<\/em><br \/>\n<strong> 11. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/cero39\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CERO 39<\/a> <\/strong>feat.
