Lisbon-based producer Zacarocha returns with new 4-track release ‘Psaltry Clouds EP’

While the global pandemic insists on dragging on and people are forced to keep looking inward for ways to deal with the profound changes in our daily lives, producers like Lisbon-based Zacarocha took this time to turn isolation into inspiration, even as society gradually opens up and we get to explore the outside world a bit more. 

After releasing a series of EPs and singles produced during this period, Zacarocha now returns with ‘Psaltry Clouds EP’, a four-track release composed during Lisbon’s first and second lockdowns, where relentless breakbeats, abrasive rave synths and thick bass lines provide a futuristic sonic framework for the artist to explore intimate themes like self-discovery, sexual connection and finding safe spaces. 

‘Psaltry Clouds EP’ is released on July 1st on Lost Thumb Records, the label founded by Zacarocha himself, on a super limited and exclusive four unit pressing. Portuguese illustrator Cristina Viana designed a unique sleeve for each of the four copies, which reveal a larger illustration when put together, reminiscent of a puzzle, or an acid tab that gets divided into quarters to be shared by a group of friends. ‘Psaltry Clouds EP’ will be available exclusively on Lost Thumb’s Bandcamp page in vinyl and digital, being release on all digital platforms later in the year.

Zacarocha - 'Psaltry Clouds' EP | LTRS001 | Previews

The first release on Lost Thumb Records is truly exceptional, firmly establishing the newborn label’s manifesto as a platform for unique underground music. It also gives you a firm idea of what to expect from future releases, and the bar has been set very high indeed.

“We, This” is the opening salvo from Guilherme Lopes’ latest brainchild Rehearsal (he also makes some seriously mind-blowing four to the floor barnstormers as OneMenWork and eclectic bass workouts as Zacarocha). They say the third time is the charm, and that is most certainly true of this frankly astounding release.

PRESS:
ggui a.k.a Zacarocha is a Portuguese and Lisbon based producer who's been settling roots in the bass and techno sonic lands for the past 10 years. He's also the man behind our record label and 'Acid Machines Get Love' is his second EP as ggui and the third release in our catalog.

From the sickest love that makes our hearts beat with a joyful arrhythmia, to the most profound sadness making us empty as f***, music has been making us reach various states of experiencing feelings and emotions since forever.

In the spectrum of electronic music, the machinery is the catalyst for the sonic voyage through those same feelings and emotions and for that, ggui believes the machines deserve love.

With this in mind, 'Acid Machines Get Love EP' wants to tell us about this feelings but also to pay homage to the machines that allow us to turn them into music.

PRESS:
Lost Thumb may have lost its thumb, but have found new music and it is thrilled to introduce the fourth release on its catalog. This time, the music is by the ‘newcomer’ Franz Busch aka Pesok. Grown up and based in Berlin, Germany, Franz is a talented musician who shows his very evident influences by the underground scene of europe’s electronic music meca. Fascinated and surrounded by his analog gear we can listen his straight forward radical production style with a very simple and effective construction where the ‘Less is More’ concept thrives perfectly. 

Pesok already has released his debut EP by his own in 2017, but now comes with his second EP called ‘No Reason’. The release is structured with 4 original tracks fully oriented for the dark room raver, mind voyages and sentimental rushes to make us cry and release our demons on the dancefloor or where else we feel fine. 

‘No Reason’ invokes the acid scene, dark components and overdriven elements with detroit and electro genres.

Pesok - 'No Reason' EP | LTR004 | Previews

Picture this...

...you're in the middle of your performance about to drop that one track and play it out loud for the crowd...you start to feel goosebumps in the back of your head as you are waiting to make that moment your own and shine like a smile from the heart...you hold on to your mixer’s fader and when you’re ready, you fade the volume up so hard and so secure of yourself that your thumb flys off with the tune!

 Lost Thumb Records was born from this peculiar feeling that music lovers have upon music... A feeling which speaks for itself, whether you're the guy who fills up the big clubs or the one who entertains dinner parties at your in-laws.

Created for all the thumbless out there who lost their precious thumbs for the love of music... Lost Thumb is born out of a necessity to support music!
