Dirty Bomb (2009)The latest political statement and production masterpiece from the Soot label is the prototype of globalized urban sound .... It will devastate your subwoofer. Prefix Mag (US) PDF Music so thoroughly uprooted that its traditions exist only as pivot points; fragments of sounds we know mashed together so intuitively that we barely recognize them. Pitchfork (US) PDF Maneuvering 180 degrees away from stultifying, one-dimensional track making... The only victim of collateral damage from Dirty Bomb is predictability.

Filastine's studious approach and murderous sense of focus elevates this above the soulless clatter that so often characterizes overeager computer musicians.

URB (US) PDF Addictive and eclectic doesn’t even begin to describe this record, its quite difficult to not get your teeth stuck into it. It’s a kind of organic worldly version of dubstep. Subba-Cultcha (UK) PDF Dirty Bomb as a whole is an exercise in subtle and overt guerrilla politics, with the source materials and artwork rejecting the homogenisation and cultural imperialism so rampant in many ‘world music’ productions. Rave Magazine (AU) PDF JPG This isn't just another sample heavy album to throw away when the summer festivals are over and you finally realise how shallow and disposable the production is - this one has got integrity and staying power just like the man himself. Global Souljah (UK/ES) PDF While always plenty combustible, it’s not only righteous indignation and anger that fuels Dirty Bomb. There are also moments of uncanny beauty and jittery euphoria to be found in this heady transcultural mix. Dusted (US) PDF Miss this at your own risk. Cyclic Defrost (AU) PDF Filastine creates tracks so geographically and chronologically diverse that they sound less like "world" music and more like music from another world.

WRUV Reviews (US) PDF Music is a Weapon.The Stranger (US) interview/feature PDF or JPG Filastine is making choppy, smokey music that draws from the entire world without getting crushed under the weight of its influences. The Fader (US) PDF Its indiscriminate, urgent, and raw sensibility is rooted deeply in a global attentiveness to the many sounds bursting from urban communities world-wide. Trash Managerie (US) PDF cacophonous, bodyshocking sounds San Francisco Chronicle (US) live preview PDF His music is steeped in everything from dubstep to breakcore to Arabic folk music and he has no trouble mashing together sounds both beautiful and disturbing, making Dirty Bomb a diverse and disorienting listening experience. Global Noize (UK) PDF Filastine brings Situationist tendencies to bear on the art of beatmaking, crafting collages not just of sound and noise, but of culture, nationality, locale and socio-political ideology. Blogarhythms (US) PDF Burn It (2006-2008)Filled with both with jagged edges and moments of sad sweetness ... Burn It is sure to win fans across multiple scenes. XLR8R (US) PDF worldly field recordings, sound collages and electro burners line a tracklist with concealed explosives that loom in the splitting beats and impending ruin of cuts Remix Magazine (US) PDF reminiscent of the murky drama of Ninja Tuners like Amon Tobin and DJ Food ... Four Stars. Music for a nervous world order. URB (US) PDF The inherent violence to sound is requisite of Filastine's desire to reclaim the "mob" and its vitality. Reclaim the streets. Remix the mob. Fuse Magazine (CA) feature/interview PDF It’s a news clip you can dance to, a "report from the frontlines” given a beat ... a distinctly inclusive style of music Pop Matters (US) PDF a hypnotic variety of both sequenced and live percussion. Murky hip-hop beats melt into rapid tabla workouts and then further transform into intricate patterns ... a musical tincture that’s simultaneously aggressive and lovely.
