DJ Set I can't Ado Much About - Dj SaMo - Gouyad Show 2015

Samo is missing in action. But hope is not lost.

Reports have surfaced from Tartown claiming a man with his likeness has been spotted. 

In spite of allegations that this individual was seen beat bopping walls on either side of the road, such claims cannot be independently verified by the author. In Basquiat's place, however, is a serviceable replacement. A series of noticeable differences exist should be noted, nonetheless. First, Samo Deejay does not reside in New York. The North American has been bypassed altogether. This member of Haitian diaspora claims residence in Hauts-de-Seine - just about seven miles outside of Paris - instead. Also, it does not appear likely that any relationship between Dj Samo and Madonna exists. And finally, while purely speculative, it would seem likely that this audio purveyor below is also not a street artist. 

Fisticuffs with Warhol remain impractical and unnecessary. 

Yet, what follows is equally populist. "Gouyad Show 2015" is a very accessible ten minute mini-mix; lack of a tracklist notwithstanding. Predictably made up of instrumental gouyad, a couple vocal compas thrown into the mix for good measure. The slow to mid range tempo kick/hi-hat and kick/snare stir the audience whirlpool of motion. Melodies remains largely the territory of the acidic synths which cover the spectrum from dramatic to inciteful within its role as a trance-setter. Still, the kreyol guitar with deep harmonies and rhythmic assistance - alongside to the occasional conga - merits additional attention. Transitions between songs are smoothly: cymbal effects are used interchangeably with fades.

The download is highly recommended
