"...laced together with Bo’s deep understanding of global musical timbres and a keen appreciation for booty-shaking beat science, the result is the favela on blast Diplo strives for but doesn’t always achieve. Outta-national? Globalista? Sure, but Bo is speaker-bangin’ before all else." - Matt Earp in XLR8R
"...layers of multi disciplined instrumental styles and twisted tongues encrusted into it's seething mass of beats that we can't do it justice in a review. Dive in yourself and get lost in Maga Bo's global sound conundrum. Dense." - Boomkat
"...Essentially Archipelagoes allegorises the concept of reach. Reaching out far and wide for inspiration, using what is within immediate reach as a means of capture in order to provide insight into something that’s for most of us, out of reach. An album that proves low budget need not equate to low art, frankly brilliant." - Suneel Jethani in Cyclic Defrost
"An emphasis on collaboration and the exchange of knowledge and ideas makes Maga Bo’s work stand out from that of over-developed world producers who grab the signifiers of others’ cultures (usually acapellas or vocal samples, but often music, too) and use them in disembodied form to add an exotic veneer to their work. Archipelagoes, the product of several trips to Africa over the past few years, showcases a dizzying range of deep-rooted influences, moving around the continent to make unimagined connections between genres..." Gervase de Wilde in Shook Vol. 1 No. 3 Summer 2008
"...Maga Bo blew me away with his hard-hitting debut album, Archipelagoes (Soot)." - Chicago Reader
Maga Bo is a producer/DJ based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. His work spans the breadth of international urban bass music from hip hop and kwaito to baile funk and jungle ragga to dub, grime and dubstep with flares of samba, rai, bhangra, cumbia, skewed electronic beats and loudspeaker jitter.
Traveling often and widely, he stays weeks at a time connecting and collaborating with local musicians and vocalists. His methods are simple and effective. Armed with a laptop and a microphone, a $6 hotel room anywhere turns into a recording studio. Electronic acquaintances and friends of friends, in person, become musical conspirators, teachers and friends. Over time, a deep musical landscape is being creating that is the collective imprint of this community.
World music is music with truly global reach - 50 Cent, U2, Shakira. This is the other thing - emissions from the flip side where vocals recorded in one room studios on a microphone taped to a refrigerator in lieu of a stand get released on the internet and over local sound systems the same night. By the next day, the track has been sampled again by guys on the other side of the world and mashed up with whatever local concoctions they've got going on. Maga Bo is tapped into and part of this weird new sonic zone.
O norte-americano Maga Bo, radicado no Rio de Janeiro há 10 anos, é considerado um dos principais figuras do movimento "Global Ghettotech." Ele é produtor músical e DJ trabalhando com uma quebra-cabeça de sons inusitados, graves absurdos e levadas suingadas de todos os continentes. No contexto das contorções digitais de hip hop e dub, ele amassa batucada, rai, capoeira, bhangra, cumbia e batidas eletrônicas numa quebra-cabeça sem fronteiras de sons achados, e ritmos e melodies modificados do mundo todo.
Viajando longe e frequentemente, ele passa semanas conhecendo e colaborando com músicos e vocalistas locais. Os metodos dele são simples e eficáz. Armado com um laptop e um microfone, um quarto de hotel de $6 em qualquer lugar do mundo transforma num estudio de gravação. Conhecidos virtuais e amigos dos amigos, pessoalmente, viram conspiradores músicais, professores e amigos. Com a passagem de tempo, uma paisagem músical está sendo criada que é uma refleção coletiva dessa communidade.
World music é música com um alcance verdadeiramente mundial - 50 Cent, U2, Madonna. Isso é a outra coisa - transmissões do outro lado onde vocais gravadas com um microfone colado numa geladeira com fita adesiva em vez de um pedestal são lançadas na internet e nos sistemas de som locais na mesma noite. No próximo dia, a faixa já tem sido sampleada por caras no outro lado do mundo e amassadas com as batidas de lá. Maga Bo está ligado nessa estranha nova zona músical.

Bassmusic, Streetart und Tanz. Drei Elemente und ein gemeinsamer Ursprung, die Straße. Nun gibt es Straßen überall auf der Welt, jedoch zeigen sie sich in unterschiedlichen Gewand. Und hier liegt der Anspruch des heutigen Abends versteckt. Mad Again! möchte Bassmusic, Streetart und Tanz aus verschiedensten Teilen der Erde eine Plattform bieten. Ihr seid hiermit herzlich auf diese Reise eingeladen, wenn sich z.B. Banksy auf einer Wand mitten in Kingston verewigt, in London eine neue Bassline das Licht der Welt erblickt oder in Abidjan gerade ein neuer Tanz die Stadt in Bewegung versetzt.

Los tracks que componen Superpuesto [Cumbiastep, Downtempo] fueron mezclados a tiempo real con Traktor + Evolution X-Session (1, 3, 4, 5 y 6) y con multipistas (2). Inspirado por el Cumbiastep de Lucas Luisao y Daleduro y el dubstep en general, estos mashups llevan a la cumbia y al hip hop al denso terreno del dubstep y a la cadencia del downtempo :::::::: All tracks mixed live with Traktor + Evolution X-Session except track 2. Inspired by the Cumbiastep created by Lucas Luisao y Daleduro and dubstep in general this mash ups drives the cumbia and hip hop to dubsteps' the deep sounds and downtempo
