Shika Shika is delighted to present a new LP by one of the bright talents that rode the downtempo wave. In New Dance Energy, Peter Power offers us rich soundscapes that blossom with pulsating grooves, deep meditative vocals, playful flutes, and glitched out beats. His global sound is immersed in a growing sensitivity of presence, where cultivating a deep awareness with one's surroundings is at the heart of the process. Finding perpetual inspiration in organic motion and the alchemical forces of nature.

After taking a much needed hiatus from the dance floor, taking the time and space to delve into slow living, deep listening, fatherhood and the simple joy of playing instruments. New Dance Energy marks something of a return, with Peter’s first dance orientated release in 5 years.

Falling in love again with Dancing and Dance Music. 
Reveling in the diverse freedom of conscious dance forms such as ecstatic, meditative & cacao dance ceremonies.
Dancing for the joy of dancing, and finding new ways to move the body.

On this release, Peter sways away from habitual four to the floor archetypes. Taking inspiration in lower chakra liberating, body shaking Afro-Brazilian & Dancehall rhythms. Playfully contrasting with soft and wholesome tones, uplifting mantras and traditional flute playing. 
With the intention to bridge the hard hitting modern urban sound with the gentle, holistic and folkloric realms. A striking departure from his usual drawn out, slow burning, meditative style… Exploring short and direct composition , with the average track length on the album teetering in around 4mins. Seven bite sized beauties to sink your teeth into.

20 % of all royalties will go towards Projeto Sapucaia.
A regenerative agro-reforestation project in the valley of Raposa, Chapada Diamantina, Bahia, Brazil. A community initiative that Peter is involved in since 2016. The money collected will go towards maintenance of the agro-forest, to the recently established cultural centre and to the continual reforestation of new areas of the land. Revitalising the conditions for it to flourish how it once was as part of the Mata-Atlantica rainforest.

Bon appetite !

Va Savoir Pourquoi (Kraut Edit)

https://soundcloud.com/mauglimau

MAUGLI’s debut hits off with two fresh tracks for our free download series.
The first song „Away“ starts dark with choppy guitar licks, chants and arpeggios, repeating, twirling and pulling you in, drawing you deep into its rhythmic african  world.

A warm percussive piece, underlined by deep bass and shaky synths, warping and weaving in and out.
Schweben’s „Away“,a sample of Merlui Miranda’s „Pamé Daworo“, Ogoya Nengo and The Dodo Women’s Group’s „Kadana“ have been worked into the track.


„I bought a Shotgun“ the infamous Screamin’ Jay Hawkins used by 
sample trio „Den Sorte Skole“, returns to stage.
Based on the pounding guitar pattern of Damon’s Song „Did You Ever“
Maugli kickstarts his second track with a bass and a beat that gets your teeth churning and shakes you to the bone.
With delightful twists and turns the track becomes a catchy 
headbanger that is hard to resist.

Biomigrant & Mente Orgánica - Orígenes

Once again we invited the Scottish Folk, Blues, Electronica mastermind KUSHT to craft a new release with us and voila!

We are proud to present the album "KUSHT - Master".

The "Master" album tells the strange stories of our unlikely practices and beliefs. It touches with a playful tongue & cheek manner on our history with fraudsters, believers and those whom pioneer the strange arts.

Powering beats and catching melodies, soaring guitars and heavily distorted synths with weird hooks to catch in your mouth will pull you to explore the many layers and meanings of this album. With tales of fraudsters, fortune tellers, hypnosis and deceit. Sit back and enjoy this magic carpet ride.

07. Nikita Quasim - Can't Go To Cuba

When i made this track i had the vision of a sandy dance floor and a sea of people wobbling to the beat but it looks to be a while before i get to see that. 

Have it on me and play it loud, I miss the party loads x
