NOW IS THE TIME

Boiling hot here in Berlin and will be more torrid in Florence tomorrow, where i’m going to join the rest of the Jealousy Party to finally end our new album Mercato Centrale. Get ready for that! It will be out before the end of the year. I can easily tell you is the best punca album ever recorded. Colonial and muscled musical solutions in the Burp Stylee.
WJM, myself, Edoardo Ricci are on the record together with Jacopo Andreini on drums, Jimmy Gelli on electronics, Stefano Bartolini on tenor and baritone saxes and sarusophone, Andrea Caprara and Lord of Casual, Simone Nicotina Castaldi on guitar. Plus several guests as Napo of maverick hip hop unit Uochi Toki, Andrea Picchietti and Marco Giovannoni of N.E.E.M. italian ragga legend Il Generale and DJ Baba Giovanni Bauli on harp.
Focused around the building, the area and the suggestions of S. Lorenzo central market in Florence Mercato Centrale is a blast of an album with so many different musics all smashed together in the original JP flavour. there’s a couple of r&b cover versions too.
Anyway it will be time to talk about that soon. Now just a quick hello. many new things will happen in the next months. the Echtzeit Musik Festival in Berlin, Pokemachine touring in september with Horacio Pollard, Jealousy Party, Semerssuaq, myself and Ignaz Schick touring in october / november and many more delicious things and artifacts to come.
last but not least: in august Burp Enterprise will celebrate 20 years of action. So be sure to have the right spices with you and join us in this celebration party which starts now and will end at the end of 2011. Ci piace fare giri non brevi ma lunghi
see you very soon. With my fingers on my nipples yours Mat Pogo
Ormai siamo in piena estate e il ferragosto si avvicina. Dispiace essere stati poco attivi qui sul blog e il resto ma non siamo rimasti con le mani in mano.
Luglio è iniziato con la quinta edizione del Tagofest, a Massa presso il Tago Mago, poi il Jealousy Party è rientrato in studio per procedere coi lavori di “Mercato Centrale”, Burp Publications ha messo in forno alcune novità, alcune già pronte, alcune presto cotte. Nelle prossime ore e giorni pubblicheremo approfondimenti a riguardo. il mese di Agosto è iniziato atletico e il rientro a Berlino mio e di Jd Zazie segnato da una settimana fitta fitta di cose belle da fare, segnalate negli ultimi 2 post. Con WJ Meatball e DJ Baba Giovanni Bauli agli altri capi del cavo stiamo rivoluzionando il palinsesto del sito. Per cui rimanete aggiornati. Ah stanno per ripartire i fumetti on line. veramente trascuratissimi quest’anno…a presto gari… vostro Mat Pogo
Oh Manitoo in heaven! N.E.E.M. will play again tonight as DJ Baba Giovanni Bauli posted here…
I hope to survive and maybe do a report about it. For now just some vintage pics from Andrea Pippo Picchietti’s archive. If you are tonight in Florence i hope to see you there. so we can touch us.






Dear navigators,
It seems kind of difficult these days to find a moment to post anything about the several things going on here in the Burp Universe. Very soon we will post a report about the Jealousy Party recent tour, about the next Burp Publications releases,and the million of unpredictable directions of the Burp System. We are working on this blog/site in order to complete the many pages wich are not done yet and the mailorder, the Colonial Emporium. Personally in the last two weeks I was lost in a myopic fog also, but now i’ve got new glasses. And i’m back to life!!! So be prepared for some surprises in the next days. ..ah! i was forgetting…after a bit of struggling our address
http://www.burpenterprise.com
is properly working again. So update your bookmarks!
At the moment listen this Dolphy’s freaking out bass clarinet solo.
It’s the Charles Mingus Sextet wrestling with the Ellington’s classic.
Edoardo Ricci showed it to a feverish Jealousy Party,here in Berlin a couple of weeks ago, as an exorcism to get rid of all our bad colds.
It didn’t actually work, but after that the sun did’nt set down for four days!
So try it by yourself.
See you soon.
volcanian greetings
yours mat pogo
