Filastine’s new album, Dirty Bomb is a gritty combination of urban rhythm with the sounds of modern conflict. The album’s title says it all: thick, tribal hip-hop beats provide a soundtrack to the chaos of a battlefield in any part of the world. Grey Filastine, the mastermind behind the project, is no stranger to the ways of industrial and urban thunder; his previous work in ¡Tchkung! was notorious for its use of indigenous instruments blended with multiple drummers that spawned unique and powerful live shows that occasionally ended in police raids, riots (particularly Seattle’s Bumbershoot Festival in 1994,[1]) and impromptu street parades. His new work is not inapplicable to the same conditions of dissent, but it could just as easily fuel the anger of a powerful rebellion and bang in an intense warehouse show. Utilizing political sound clips and featuring very talented MC’s from all over world (Rabah, Wire MC), Filastine has created a fantastic album that is sure to please anyone looking for something to inspire or bang. The live show is sure to please: catch Filastine on his US tour beginning in March 14.
