Aotu - Thunderhead

You're about to fall asleep. 

.

.

A massive truck barrels past your head at 80mph, horns ablare, wheels mere inches away. Somewhere between a prison alarm and a thousand roosters screaming in unison, it shocks you upright. 

.

.

Even so, it's nothing out of the ordinary. You're used to it by now. You could sense it coming—the pressure of the air between your ears tensing ever so slightly. At this point it's far away, beyond reality. Next time, you'll be in control. Inspiration for tomorrow.

Aotu - Exploding Head Syndrome

I come from a small town in the countryside of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Where I come from there was no electronic music at all , so when I started DJing, if I wanted to listen to it I had to travel for 3 hours to Sao Paulo but even then I couldn’t get into the clubs as I was only 14 years old.
It feels absolutely SURREAL that I’m now writing this post to tell you my Essential Mix is coming this Saturday on @bbcradio1 at 1AM (Friday night) ! The Essential Mix for me was always a way to learn about new music and find inspirations from the best in electronic music. 
It doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from, you can achieve anything you want in life, you are the only one who can set limits for yourself. Follow your dreams and do everything with LOVE. 🙏🏼❤️
For my Essential Mix I've chosen tracks from artists who inspired me since I've been playing for these almost 20 years, also some of my own tracks that had a big impact in my career and some unreleased stuff from myself as well! I really hope you enjoy the journey

ESSENTIAL MIX - BBC Radio (12.01.2019)

A wash of rich magenta, rushing through your capillaries to fill every corner. Unnaturally clean, overwhelmingly flat and wide beyond your periphery. The flash sparks your reflection, your retina folded back on itself, branded for an instant. What is this sensation? Every star in the Milky Way winking into existence, one-by-one at the speed of light. The fractal rush of blood and electricity. A triumph of perception.

Aotu - Ganzfeld

SHAME is a collaborative musical "vision" brought to you by two unabashedly sad, pathetically disconsolate dudes in the underground electronic music scene, known as Foamek and shampoo respectively. The project name comes, aptly, from each of their relationships with shame itself; a tendency to ruminate on things as inconsequential as a plastic bag whirling around in a gust of wind, or perhaps that one time they were sad all day because a stranger didn't smile back.

Their music is transparently vying for your emotional investment. Your return on said investment being something like a lonely canoe-ride down a river in the middle of nowhere, inside a dream you can't escape, cursed in perpetuity to confront, with vivid detail, every mistake you've ever made- floating away from any and all companionship, onward to an unforgiving purgatory of existential anguish.

The project was born when shampoo sent a DM to Foamek asking for "some sad arpeggios to fuck with, maybe some percussion and shit." shampoo flipped the melodies and percussion into something so beautiful that it made Foamek angry. After adding a few finishing touches like reverb-drenched vocals, light top percussion and the interminably haunting bassline, Foamek professionally mastered the final mix by turning the gain knob up really far.

SHAME (shampoo x Foamek​)​- endorphin rush; sweet goodbye

• Eerie, ominous, powerful after hours techno •

Since moving out west in 2016, I've explored all kinds of local music scenes and underground parties here in Los Angeles. From dubstep shows to house parties, disco, shoegaze, trap and trance... it's the warehouse techno scene that stands out as the one that truly welcomed me and made me feel at home. This new song is an homage to the sound of these events, Aotu-style!

Avarice picks up where Exploding Head Syndrome left off, with a muscular after-hours sound designed to hypnotize and entice you into a flickering, fiery trap.

The cover art is original and hand-painted.

Alpine Fallout is a meditative trek across an icy mountainside. It trudges forward, steps crunching through the snow, wind and trees. Coming at the tail of a year of well-received singles, this song is my wintry nightcap to a turbulent 2019. After three years of learning, growing and exploring in sunny Los Angeles, I will now embark on a new adventure in quiet Vermont, teaching electronic music to undergraduate students at Middlebury College. Alpine Fallout marks the start of this new chapter!

Tension, disinformation, and harsh realities riddle the official and prevailing narratives around the pandemic in the USA. Our systems show astounding indifference as most all of us are left to fend for ourselves and our loved ones. We scramble to stay healthy and make rent, let alone provide mutual aid and support for our communities. Many are just now awakening to the rampant injustices in our society, and how those injustices exacerbate the virus.

From isolation, the voices of the American public blend together into one, both online and in the streets, as we curse the cruelty of the powerful and demand change. We are an ever-growing chorus of solidarity, despite being relegated to our personal bubbles by the pandemic.

These themes guided our creative process for this project.

I wrote this song at the beginning of the summer to help myself through some tough times. It's an instrumental mantra of self-motivation when at odds with internal and external turmoil. I hope can you hear where my heart was when I made it. As always, thank you for listening!
