Mezcla 20 / Rafaele Castiglione / Akumandra

The artist - and traveler at heart - David Mears was born in the south of France and is currently based in Nice. He started to produce “math rock” 3 years ago, but since then David’s music has evolved into a reflection of himself: emotional, deep, a blend of different places, stories and sensitivities. 
This UCR podcast is the third episode in his SENSA trilogy and is named after a powerful place in India that inspired him so much, he decided to record its native sounds to create the beginning of this set. 
VARANASI was produced like all of David’s music: he composes different elements, one after the other, and then records everything live in one take. The result is beautiful sets that build up slowly, move in waves and take the listener on a melancholic journey throbbing with heartbeats. He considers music to be about exchange and encourages other musicians, dancers and performers to collaborate with him during shows.
So sit back, get into Cosmonaut mode and immerse yourself in the profound narrative of David Mears’ musical territory.

Tracklist

UCR #006 by David Mears

TD 8: CRUSSEN

Für die Ewigwachgebliebenen zum Feierabendbier, für die Frühaufsteher als Seelenfutter zum Wochenbeginn: Montagssorbet mit Laut & Luise. Alles erlaubt, was gut tut und Gedanken kreisen lässt, nur der Name ist Programm: cremig, fluffig und ganz schön weich.

Wenn der Berliner Blues Bruder am Ruder sitzt, schippert's sich ganz stabil gen irgendwo im Nirgendwo, wo die Seele singt und die Kraniche noch klunkern. Alle Mann aufs Kassettendeck, denn @L-WOOD sorbetiert 'ne sanfte Brise auf die Haut.

(Intro: »Mit Uns«, Laura, Leonie, Max & Ralf)

A Little Light Relief

Once upon a time, there was a 13 ­ year old boy who fell in love at first sight with an old Brazilian violao. That boy was Salvador Araguaya, Urban Cosmonaut Radio podcaster #13 in our trip through the musicverse. 
His first guitar triggered a lifelong musical adventure, spending 7 years exploring different genres, playing in many bands and nurturing a love for ancestral black music of northeastern Brazil. Inevitably, he was enchanted by Voodoohop’s fusion of electronic and Brazilian sounds 
and eventually started making music in the beginning of 2015. 
Since then, Salvador Araguaya has moved and swayed the dancefloors with his DJ sets at many Sonido Tropico (@sonidotropico) parties. His recent own productions ­ like “Cotovelo de Serra” on Caballito have given us a glimpse of the start of his musical evolution. His own tracks are infused with digital cumbia elements and traces of folk and ethnic deep house ­ like in “Mora na Filosofia (Caetano Veloso)” ­as well as in this mixtape that you’re about to hear. 
Once upon a time, there was an Urban Cosmonaut who guided us on our Hitchhike Through the Galaxy. And we all lived happily ever after. <3

01 Ser Consciente

Some of you may have heard of Ufordia. Though most will not. It is almost impossible to find solid information about what happens there, or where it is. Every now and then, Peter Power (@peter-power) surfaces randomly with a piece of lore and draws attention of the ones not being dulled by the mundane.
This time he shares the knowledge of a long forgotten verse, which, once read, may have the force of projecting you into another plane..

Voyage to the outer fringes,
Spirals of the cosmic fugue.
Ancient echoes, 
Observed within the drama.
Our transpermian heritage,
Awakes into life.

Mezcla 32 / Caleesi / Akumandra

@Maracuyacita

To live in an old shack by the sea 
And breathe the sweet salt air
To live with the dawn and the dusk 
The new moon and the full moon 
The tides the wind and the rain... 
To surf and comb the beach 
And gather sea shells and drift-wood 
And know the thrill of loneliness 
And lose all sense of time 
And be free

To hike over the island to the village 
And visit the marketplace 
And enjoy the music and the food and the people 
And do a little trading 
And see the great ships come and go 
And, man, have me a ball

And in the evening 
When the sky is on fire
Heaven and earth become my great open cathedral 
Where all men are brothers 
Where all things are bound by law 
And crowned with love 
Poor, alone and happy 
I walk by the surf and make a fire on the beach 
And as darkness covers the face of the deep 
Lie down in the wild grass 
And dream the dream that the dreamers dream

I am the wind, the sea, the evening star 
I am everyone
anyone
no one.

Undersound Mixtapes Vol 001_Coquillages by Mȁ̲̠̻ͥ̾ra͔̥̩̾͊̑cuyá͊

In 2010 Todd Burns wrote a review for RA about a record called ‘Rio Arriba’ - even now I distinctly remember seeing the beautiful & striking cover art of Paula Duro and being drawn in by the foreign titles and imagery. I needed to hear this record. However it was only available in Argentina at the time and Burns' challenge to readers to figure out a way to listen only piqued my intrigue. 

I worked out a way and within the very first 30 second of that record, the jarring percussion of ‘Cumbion de las Aves', I knew I had found something special. And it is a special record, but more than that, for me this record marked a shift in the way I approached sourcing new listening material from then on, opening up a new musical culture and a desire to cast the net further afield. It truly changed the way I listen to music.

I am therefore honoured and humbled to present our latest contributor, the incredible talent of Pedro Canale, aka Chancha Via Circuito. On his glorious Métron Musik Mixtape he has compiled a collection of tracks that are extremely special to him, showing his influences to extend far beyond the mountains of his native Buenos Airies. There are some surprising selections along the way but it never strays too far from an emotional and sonic core that feels very much aligned to the Argentine producers aesthetics. 

‘Amansara’, his latest LP and third full length for the fantastic Argentine label ZZK Records, was one of my favourite records of 2015. The much anticipated follow up to 'Rio Arriba’ develops Chancha’s now signature sound and takes it to new heights. His collaboration with the amazing Lido Pimiento on ‘Jardines’ is one of my all time favourite tracks and an absolute triumph of creativity. I highly recommend exploring the Chancha Via Circuito discography from top to bottom.

It's also a real pleasure to introduce the artwork of Léto Mythia who designed the artwork for our 15th mixtape.
