#1 /TJAATA

„Nanu?“ – this little interjection in the German language expresses wonder, surprise and a curiosity for what has just been presented to you. It playfully resembles the title of our release „nanou“, produced by Zurich based trio @ali_dada, whose dreamy and unwinding music has indeed aroused our curiosity, surprised us, made us wonder and keen to dive deeper into their world of soothing soundscapes.

This EP may be seen as a soundtrack for moments in which you feel free from capitalist tension. Catching up on Jenny Odell‘s advice in „How to do nothing - Resisting the Attention Economy“, the mood of the songs may be a dedication to the idea of #NOMO – „the necessity of missing out“. An opposition to the overstimulation of our everyday life: „This idea of doing nothing is trying to give permission to have some emptiness.” We affirmatively embrace this idea as an invitation to pause, recline and laze while listening to those 4 calming songs. It‘s the assent to an idle that has facilitated the realization of this EP for ali dada. Obligation-free time opened up spaces for ideas and sketches to flourish. „zwueschetag“, as a „day in between“ originated in the beginning of the pandemic and describes a tool for ali dada to handle the uncertainties of a life without stability. „345“ is the street number of an off-space (www.345off.space), where the trio has recorded and produced their music, and which provides a vibe that allows them to engage optimistically in these fickle times of live.
In ali dada‘s productions you‘ll ever find a playful combination of elements from various, rather distant genres. References to experimental ambient vibes meet the love for jazzy, psychedelic guitars and warm, mellow hip-hop beats. In extended jam sessions they reflect on how the sounds feel to them and how they actually want the listener to feel. And indeed you seem guided – to slow down, linger and listen carefully. As the 3 musicians are sensible for imperfections and glitches you often can hear tiny, subtle elements, such as snippets or field recordings in the background. It‘s these little acoustic surprises that expand the space for dreaming and shape a cosmos in which you want to close your eyes and drift away in airy realms or sparkling beach water.

About the EP-*
Sūtra, meaning -  string, thread In Indian literary traditions refers to an aphorism or a collection of aphorisms in the form of a manual or, more broadly, a condensed manual or text. Sutras are a genre of ancient and medieval Indian texts found in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.
In Hinduism, sutras are a distinct type of literary composition, a compilation of short aphoristic statements. Each sutra is any short rule, like a theorem distilled into few words or syllables, around which teachings of ritual, philosophy, grammar, or any field of knowledge can be woven. The oldest sutras of Hinduism are found in the Brahmana and Aranyaka layers of the Vedas. Every school of Hindu philosophy, Vedic guides for rites of passage, various fields of arts, law, and social ethics developed respective sutras, which help teach and transmit ideas from one generation to the next.

Yoga Sutras – contains 196 sutras on Yoga including the eight limbs and meditation. The Yoga Sutras were compiled around 400 CE by Patanjali, taking materials about yoga from older traditions

Brahma Sutras (or Vedanta Sutra) – a Sanskrit text, composed by Badarayana, likely sometime between 200 BCE to 200 CE. The text contains 555 sutras in four chapters that summarize the philosophical and spiritual ideas in the Upanishads

Nyaya Sutras – an ancient text of Nyaya school of Hindu philosophy composed by Akṣapada Gautama, sometime between the 6th century BCE and 2nd century CE. It is notable for focusing on knowledge and logic, and making no mention of Vedic rituals

Kama Sutra – an ancient Indian Sanskrit text on sexual and emotional fulfillment in life

Kaleema - La Marea (Andi Otto Remix)

neue blau

Octane

Algo duerme mientras las ánimas que me habitan explotan en llamas en el cuarto, cuarto verde, adentro en la montaña, donde cada noche se empluman mis sueños, los que se traducen al mundo gracias a su existencia.
Algo duerme mientras muero y vivo, algo asecha en los bordes de la cama, algo que me transforma en guerrero cuando el cenit se derrama sobre el bosque.
La razón de este sonido yace dormida entre las velas de mi magia, lo interno y el rocío del alba...

Dormida

Janax Pacha - El Caracol ft. Andi Otto & Carrot Green Remixes
BUY LINK: https://earthlymeasures.bandcamp.com/album/el-caracol-ep
Release date: December 18th, 2020
Label: Earthly Measures (https://soundcloud.com/earthlymeasures)
https://soundcloud.com/janaxpachax https://soundcloud.com/andiotto

After his deep nature, consciously inspired contribution to our first release on Earthly Tapes 01, Janax Pacha returns with that jungly vibe again bringing you ‘El Caracol’. Translating to ‘The Snail’, the 4-track EP comprises two tempo shifting interpretations of a journey through vibrating mystical woodlands plus two re-works by Andi Otto and Carrot Green.

Slowly pulsating through a surreal and tripped out space, on the title track and EP opener ‘Caracol’, Janax Pacha effortlessly infuses South American indigenous wind instruments and distorted chimes with a deep chugging bassline to create a deep and introspective piece.

Raising the tempo whilst still retaining the obscurity of the EP opener, ’Sin Fin’ endlessly pushes the title track into dancier regions. With added momentum, it manages to strike the perfect balance between introspection and a more hedonistic, party-driven focus. 

Andi Otto, provides the first remix of two. With added drive to the original created by extra depth of bass and emphasis on snappy percussion, the remix sits nicely somewhere between both ‘Caracol’ and ‘Sin Fin’.

To complete the journey, EM contributor Carrot Green produces a funky off-kilter break-beat effort. Keeping the elements of the original but with an added twist of unpredictability and pure danceability, this remix sees ‘Sin Fin’ being pushed deeper into a wormhole of obscurity.
