COLOMBIA
Ahora es el tiempo para Colombia! (Now is the time for Colombia!). Boogiemeister spent August 2017 to May 2018 in Colombia…mostly in the music mecca of Bogota! He had an amazing 7 months living in La Candelaria district of Bogota surrounded by some of the most creative musicians, artists, muralists, street performers – with magic around every corner. The Bogotano culture left a massive impression on him & is something he cant stop talking about. Three new Boogiemester songs were finished, as well as the samplepack of Colombian sounds you can play with to create your own tracks! He recorded gaita flute player Diana, & also Alejo on latin percussion at Chango Records studio. With local MC/Vocalist Drop Lion he collaborated to create “Colombia In Dub”, a dub/reggae track with spanish lyrics that portrays a deep message to humanity. With “La Candelaria Steppers” he had fun making a UK Dub style “four on the floor” pumping dancefloor killer, while Julian, aka InDaHaus added his skills on latin percussion, mixdown & mastering. Finally, “Off To A Good Start” – a Global Deep House little diddy he made using samples recorded in Colombia by Simon from Bomba Estereo (absolute favorite Colombian band)!
Choose your own adventure. The reward for getting involved = TONS of promo for you as an artist, & us gathering you new fans & a larger network by joining the Remix The Earth international collective!
There are three options to get on the compilation:

Here the street musicians performing traditional snake charmer flute songs, arabic tribal drums & chants, voices of the characters at this legendary market that dates back 1000 years & known for its one of a kind musicians!

BRAZIL
Boogiemeister traveled December 2016 to March 2017 for a 3 month journey to Brazil. He fell in love with Rio de Janeiro & spent 2 of the 3 months there, as well as recording a very talented studio musician in Salvador, Bahia.
CARNAVAL 2017 in Rio de Janeiro was a life changer! 600+ block parties, aka “Blocos”, in the month of February alone! January is often full of Blocos as well, along with Samba school rehearsals ongoing pretty much any day of the week that are open to attend. Pure MUSIC LOVE & it twas a great opportunity for Remix The Earth to be a part of. Mesmerizing samba street party nights, many many late nights, and a few songs currently in the making! Currently accepting submissions for the 2nd album release, RTE002: Remix The Earth: Brazil vol. 2. Your track can use some of the stems & samples we recorded in Brazil, or any Brazilian instruments you recorded for that matter. PLEASE SUBMIT the track using contact form.
This is the 1st in a series of music videos Boogiemeister recorded in Rio & put together in under an hour. Other footage shot on the Cannon t5i soon to be made into the 2nd music video. Tons of footage captured for the future documentary as well!
Brazil overall was a huge SUCCESS! Tudo bom! We love you Brazil, thanks for all your great memories, magic & mystery!
