This is a truly inspiring site/forum/community I came across via SAMIM's myspace blog.
HIT THE ABOVE IMAGE TO GO THERE...
"...'Calypsa' is inspired by Colombian Cumbia, mainly by Andrés Landero, a great accordionist from Colombia - dead some time ago. This mashup is kind of saying “thanks” for his wonderful and moody music. The track I used is: Andrés Landero - Vírgen de la Candelaria. Download it, mash it up or create something completely new and share it with the crashroots community..."
This is the attitude of Crashroots, and you can hear the result below (right click for download):
Latincontra - Calypsa (by Jin Yerei)
THAT ACCORDION SOUND FAMILIAR!?
Once you have signed up there are just SO many brilliant little tracks to get your hands on. I feel like this really is a gold mine for inspiration, and with everyone sharing everything they do for free, and handing out timeless audio bits to be sampled, I am pretty drop jawed at how fantastic Crashroots is.
Another name that seems to come up again and again is MIGUEL TORO and if you follow that link to his myspace you can enjoy the full range of collaborations with Samim, as well as his own solo productions...
Definitely a great site to get yourself signed up to. Loads of dabbling producers making some intriguing beats.
And just for good measure here is a mix only of Crashroots' material by 'Razz'.
