Check the artists view on remixing content on the Crammed Discs Remix Contest pages:
“The whole process of making music has changed. The very concept of composition now extends to the creation of sounds and textures. I’m very curious to see how other people will use and manipulate my sounds and how they will use them as tools to create new music.” — Cibelle
“I like the idea of giving people the opportunity to hear what I hear when I’m producing — a separate candomblé percussion track or some painstakingly constructed soundscape. If mixing is part of the compositional process, it’s only natural that I try sharing the compositional responsibilities with anyone interested in taking them on.” — Apollo Nove
“This is what every intelligent musician should do. The idea is to share and allow one’s work to be cut up, reinvented and — who knows — transformed into something even better than the original. This isn’t about generosity; it’s about inventing new ways of creating musical products that go well beyond the world of physical carriers like vinyl and CDs.” — DJ Dolores
The nine winning remixes will appear on a Crammed/ccMixter remix compilation, to be sold online through digital music stores. Your chance to engage in a creative dialogue with Crammed Discs artists Cibelle, DJ Dolores, and Apollo Nove and get your mix of their work on the Crammed/ccMixter remix EP!

INDIAN SUMMER
While you’re still enjoying diving, climbing, walking, escaping and doing other exciting summer things, the little bees at Crammed are preparing a beautiful Indian Summer for you…
APOLLO NOVE, the amazing young producer/musician/singer from São Paulo, the man who produced Cibelle’s first record, has come up with an exquisite album: modern yet retro, electronic yet folk, and definitively Brazilian, groovy and sexy. He has invited some seductive voices to sing with him: Cibelle, Céu, Tita Lima and Seu Jorge. His album is called “Res Inexplicata Volans”.
We will also release THE NOW SOUND OF BRAZIL 2 , the new Ziriguiboom compilation. Great songs, unreleased tracks & exclusive mixes from our adored Brazilian artists incuding Cibelle, Zuco 103, Celso Fonseca, Bossacucanova, Bebel Gilberto, DJ Dolores and more… and last but not least the compilation will be sold at a nice price.
Ahhh! HUGO and his album "La nuit des balançoires" : if you don’t understand French, you will miss some of the content of his Twin-Peaks-meets-Conan-Doyle-on-a-surnatural-sarcastic-tip stories, but then again you’ll feel it simply by hearing the atmosphere of his arrangements (ranging from limpid to quirky), his high-pitched voice and his wonderful melodies....
TARAF DE HAÏDOUKS: you were probably wondering when we were going to make a DVD with our lovely honourable brigands? Well, it’s almost done! 2 young directors are working on it. It will include a program with the Tarafs in concert in the UK, when Neacsu was still alive, very touching, and Johnny Depp telling the world why he loves them so much, filmed by UK director Marc Allen. Also, a documentary about the Band of Gypsies playing in their country, Romania, for the first time on their 10th anniversary, shot by Elsa Dahmani. There will also be several bonuses, interviews, video postcards of the Tarafs playing around the world etc.
CONGOTRONICS 2: “BUZZ’N’RUMBLE FROM THE URB’N’JUNGLE” : after the explosive KONONO N°1, professor Vincent Kenis will present us 5 other stupendous electro-traditional bands from the suburbs of Kinshasa, including Kasai Allstars, Masanka Sankayi & Basokin. More heavily-distorted sounds, more DIY amplification… but also a whole array of different rhythms, buzzing drums, swirling guitars and hypnotic balafons. A DVD will be included to show it all.

ARTE Television teams up with Crammed to celebrate Brazil at the Cannes Film Festival
To celebrate the Year of Brazil in France, the Cannes Film Festival is organising a special screening of the mythical Marcel Camus film Orfeu Negro (which was awarded the Palme d’Or in 1959), followed by a cocktail party on the boat which hosts Franco-German TV channel ARTE, during which a documentary entitled Searching For Orfeu Negro will be shown in the presence of Brazil’s Minister Of Culture (and megastar) Gilberto Gil and of ARTE president Jérome Clément. This event takes place on May 18.
On this occasion, ARTE Television has teamed up with the CRAMMED DISCS label to produce a limited-edition DVD containing excerpts from a documentary by Simon Brook (Magical Jungle), an interactive map of Brazil, music videos by Bebel Gilberto and Zuco 103, and six audio tracks by Cibelle, Bebel Gilberto, DJ Dolores, Zuco 103, Celso Fonseca and Suba (*), who rank among the best exponents of the new wave of Brazilian music, and who have all been discovered and released by Crammed on its Ziriguiboom imprint.
(*) The Suba track happens to be “Felicidade”, a modernist version of a song taken from the Orfeu Negro soundtrack.

FLY reviews DJ Dolores 'Aparelhagem'
Excellent review on DJ Dolores new release ‘Aparelhagem’ from Damian Rafferty from FLY - Global Music Culture magazine.
”... this release marks a coming of age after only two albums for a musical force who could be the South American Manu Chao."

DJ Dolores 'Aparelhagem'
DJ Dolores burst onto the global club scene a couple of years ago with his explosive and highly original mixture of traditional sounds from the Brazilian northeast with dancefloor-friendly electronics and elements of rock & dub.
Drawing his inspiration from urban and rural musical styles traditionally shunned by the establishment but favoured by the working classes (dance rhythms such as maracatú, song forms such as emboladas), DJ Dolores blends them with loops, breakbeats, street sounds & live instrumentation to create a unique musical cocktail which is culturally & politically meaningful, yet first and foremost irresistibly festive!
