\"Filastine<\/p>\n

Filastine<\/a> is the prolific project of Los Angeles born, Barcelona based audio visual artist Grey Filastine.<\/p>\n

April 3rd will see the release of his third full-length album entitled \u00a300T<\/em>.
\n\u00a300T<\/em> aka LOOT is described by Filastine as “a near-future post-capitalist utopian currency for floating pirate republics”.<\/p>\n

“In a commandeered shopping cart strung with contact mics, in an old-growth Indonesian forest a mile\u2019s walk from the nearest dirt road, it begins.”\u00a0says the issues press release. “Dreams of two-way radio static direct from future floating cities fade in and out, trading licks with ecstatic idiophones, the buzz of gut strings. The world is coming apart at the seams, ripped by injustice, craven stupidity, global weirding.
\nFilastine belts a siren call to salvage and unite the brilliant sonic pieces. At the intersection of unabashed globalism and bass music, the wandering arts instigator takes dance music to its outer-national limits on \u00a300T incorporating and dismantling lush sounds from North Africa, Brazil, Java\u2014and from down the street where all the noise and protest hum.”<\/p>\n

To coincide with the album release, Filastine is launching a year long world tour with stops in every continent. Filastine has recently dropped a \u00a300T<\/em> world tour teaser video where he performs with Javanese vocalist and storyteller Nova on the rooftop of his studio in el Raval, Barcelona. Filastine first met Nova in a Jakarta artist squat when she organized a generator-power gig for him.
\nThe video features excerpts from two tracks off \u00a300T<\/em> , ‘Gendjer2’ and ‘Lost Records’ and ‘Btalla’, a track off 2009’s Dirty Bomb.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the album, Filastine will release the Colony Collapse<\/em> EP on February 28th. The EP comes backed with remixes by Beats Antique, Squeaky Lobster, L’Ouef Raide and Fletcher in Dub. Hit this link<\/a> to watch the EP video teaser.<\/p>\n

Check out below the \u00a300T<\/em> world tour teaser video and listen to a preview of new track ‘Shanty Tones’.
\nThis leaves me highly anticipating the arrival of Spring.<\/p>\n
