Aluna Project feat. Moonanga - Elementos (Dvniel Remix)

Shika Shika presents our new Botanas by MAUGLI, an artist we have had on our radars and playlists for a while due to his really unique production style and sound. Somewhere between hip-hop, very skilled cut and paste sampling and crisp production. With this Botanas he doesn't disappoint with two absolutely delicious cuts of his signature style.

In MAUGLI's own words:

Trouble Feat. Flolento
'First track 'Trouble' is a collaboration with Eigenklang member Flolento on the clarinet and was originally inspired by the notorious 'Six Boys in Trouble. In the early 1950s a group of kids from housing projects jammed on homemade percussion and sang along with it. With a ton of soul and the first signs of something resembling rap flows (in the 50s!!!) the recordings spark pure joy to me. At some point the sample flew out and ended up on another song and then I asked Flolento and his clarinet to jump in to contrast the pouring wet guitarlicks - chop choppidy, chop and the jam was ready to be served.

Kiliman
Kiliman was inspired by a PVC tube jam and sung poetry from Harak and various Brao groups of Southern Laos. What struck me first was the laid back vibe that came across the recordings. A perfect base to garn with raw drums and pure sine waves for some serious sweaty, booty shaking. There are super secret undercover hints to the original samples sprinkled in there as well to other quotes in this collaged piece of music.

The 20 years' cycle - Dance music from the early 2000s PART 2

I'm playing here the tracks I loved to play in 2003 / 2005 when I started my career as a DJ.
At that time , according to what I call the "20 years' cycle, I greatly enjoyed the 80s revival, and to be honest that was the main reason of my success. I used to play a mix of new music and early 80s tracks, and it worked! But here I'm not
playing anything from the 80s. You can find many Robotnick DJ sets dedicated to that period if you wish and also here on SoundCloud.
First part   1h 25' - 121 / 127 bpm
Second part  1h 29' - 128 / 133 bpm 
By chance the length of each mix fits perfectly into a 90 'cassette, for the ones who love that media

John Talabot B2b Oberman at Draaimolen Festival 2022

The fifth instalment in the fledgling X-Kalay mix series is delivered by Berlin based DJ, Zeynep. Here she contributes a heady blend of propulsive club centric sounds; seamlessly moving through contemporary styles of house, acid and trance. 

In her own words: "I recorded this mix in winter dreaming of warmer days and sunny raves. One and a half hours full of energy driven stompy tunes that release huge euphoria in me. I hope you enjoy this mix as much as me when I was recording it since it’s for one of my favorite labels out there. Hi-NRG 4 EVER 🗣️!"

New Disco - Indie Dance - October 2017 DJ set

'Campo Triste' está inspirado en el famoso tema ecuatoriano "La Bocina', en este caso (sample) interpretado por Soledad Morales, cantante invidente quien radicó en Sigsig, pequeño pueblo de la provincia del Azuay. No fue sorpresa encontrar que el productor ecuatoriano Pancho Piedra, habitante de Cuenca, Ecuador, se encontrara trabajando en una re interpretación de este tema. Tiene sentido, toda una generación dedicada a la radio, transmitiendo joyas resguardadas en las bóvedas de 'Radio Tomebamba'. 

Así continua la familia Piedra, en poder de antiguos discos que cuentan la historia de un Ecuador nostálgico, liderado en aquellas épocas por el timón y los arreglos de don Polibio Mayorga. Este es un homenaje contemporáneo sin duda, con el fin de rescatar ese anhelo sonoro de aquellos tiempos. 

// ENGLISH 
We are honoured to present a very special and very beautiful Botanas from the hand of Ecuadorian producers Nicola Cruz and Pancho Piedra. 

Campo Triste' is inspired by the famous Ecuadorian song "La Bocina", in this case with a sample from a version sung by Soledad Morales, a blind singer from Sigsig, a small town in the province of Azuay. It wasn't a surprise for Nicola to discover that Pancho Piedra, a fellow Ecuadorian producer living in Cuenca, was working on a reinterpretation of the song. Everything made sense - Piedra belonging to a generation that is dedicated to treasuring and transmitting musical gems from the vaults of the city's "Radio Tomebamba". 

In this way the story of the Piedra family continues, holding in their hands these old records that tell, with nostalgia, the history of Ecuador, led at the time by don Polibio Mayorga’s arrangements. 

While this is undoubtedly a modern tribute, it also captures and revives this nostalgic piece of musical longing from another time. 

This Botanas also features three precious remixes from fellow Ecuadorian Quixosis, Mexico's Jiony and Chile's Rodrigo Gallardo.

this was recorded inside the club with a stereo mic recorder. The recording is at times a bit distorted and at times decent enough... but does capture the momentum of the mix and the atmosphere of the room especially the thunderous Berghain sound system

Radio Drama 24 | Vince Watson & Jon Hester

Trust the Bha crew to bring you some holiday cheer. 

Back in 2011, the Bha crew hosted The Modern Deep Left Quartet, an offset the acclaimed Cobblestone Jazz, led by the singular Mathew Jonson alongside Tyger Dhula, Danuel Tate and The Mole at Aurus, Bombay, one of our (and the city’s) most unforgettable sun-kissed terrace parties, which spawned countless “Sundowner” imitations. 

The music shuttled between jazz improvisation, deep electronic music cuts and some of the irresistibly hypnotic Cobblestone Jazz & Mathew Jonson sound. It was tasty, it was groovy, it got downright rowdy (as most Bha gigs eventually are) as four men huddled behind a ton of analogue gear produced inspired moments of a spontaneous electronic music jam. 

Here’s the recording of that two-hour plus journey as proof.

NOTRINO PODCAST ISSE 05

Anka Foh is made up of Malian singer Dasmy Jo and French producer Ditti. The duo met at a series of culture mashing, genre defying jam sessions between musicians from all over the world in Paris’ underground bars. The two artists clicked and came together to work on some of Dasmy’s original compositions - within a few months decided to form Anka Foh.

Shika Shika is excited to share their first EP, Kounady, four tracks of much needed upbeat, joyful, soul music that finds a magical sweet spot between Dasmy’s original compositions, inspired by Mandingue traditional music, and Ditti’s jubilant electronica.

Though the fours compositions are rooted in the West African mandingue tradition, they are taken into a whole new context. Dasmy’s vocals and instrumental lines sit alongside swirling, airy melodies, swaggering beats and Ditti’s trademark bleeps and psychedelic, dreamy synths - the recipe for an explosion of delicious flavours and colours. 

This is summed up on opener Bara or the driving electro-blues track Tâtâ, a song about giving thanks to those that helped and supported us in our lives. The EP ends with the fittingly beautiful lullaby Kounady (a mandingue word that roughly translates as luck) about how we have to look after ourselves and avoid negativity.
