_______VAI A CASA, SEI UBRIACO!
Bamboo Shows presents today the fourth and final opus of its 'vai a casa, sei ubriaco!' cassette series focusing on sunitty, an Italian reinterpretation of Fourth World Music through the prism of the world wide web.


_______ NINJA EXOTIC MACHINE – MANA VERDE
Amongst all the Italian encounters Bamboo Shows made over the years, here come Matteo Coffetti and Kakofonico under their moniker Ninja Exotic Machine. The Turinese duo plays a key role in the development of sunitty, both with their different musical projects and the vanguard leftfield bass label Pho Bho Records they run with Tundra & Federico Spini.

With their ‘Mana Verde’ LP, Matteo Coffetti and Kakofonico recount the fanciful ‘legend of the Mana Verde Forest’, thus depicting their porous vision of electronic music. In this enchanted lands, wacky improvisation meets the syncopated rhythms of Riddim and Dancehall, post internet weirdeleria echoes with stretched vocals, and deep bass-lines bring the whole party to a contagious dancing mania.

‘Mana Verde’ is the final installment of the ‘vai a casa, sei ubriaco!’ series, extending this sunitty panorama from psychedelic ambient and folkloric noise to leftfield bass and post internet dancefloor materials. To be further explored in the dedicated mini-zine.


_______ MORE INFOS ABOUT ‘THE LEGEND OF THE MANA VERDE FOREST’
Mana Verde by Ninja Exotic Machine is a sonic folktale rooted in sunitty - a playful practice of microcomposition, digital folklore, and chaotic improvisation. Set in a mythical forest where junky elves, mucky rhythms, and wandering sounds collide, the album traces a surreal journey through ecstatic gatherings, collective metamorphosis, and lysergic communion.
Each track unfolds as a chapter in an ever-mutating mythology where the beat becomes a spell, nonsense reveals unexpected truths, identity dissolves into sound, and the forest itself learns to dance.

@stone_xo, producer and DJ from South London, has been turning heads with a style that slips between dreamy downtempo and sharp-edged club energy. A mainstay on Berlin’s @triplexlarge, his recent release hit hard and showed why his sound keeps sparking attention in the community, alongside work on Goddezz, Theory Therapy and Kontext. For us, he delivers a mix diving deep into darkside downtempo and illbient - raw, textured and with his distinct touch

Kontext mix w/ Stone

‘90s nostalgia recontextualised by New York’s J.P. Wright

"I think nostalgia sucks and can definitely be stupid and reactionary which is very much symptomatic of the times we’re living through right now, but just sort of reckoning with that contrasted with how beautiful I think a lot of that music is and so ahead of its time that it’s still super relevant and only starting to really be appreciated maybe."

Living Room n°90 ~ @ghosttropics

q. pls introduce yourself:

a. Hi! I’m Ryan aka ghosttropics and I think most people on here know me as “that person who is in the comment boxes of all the ambient releases on bandcamp”. Mostly I’m just a huge music nerd/listener/dancer, but I try to write about the music that care about as much as I can as a way to engage with the community a bit more and to give back to the artists who bless me with the music that brings so much to my life. Which is how you guys found me! This is only the second mix I ever made and I’ve since worked on a couple more, and it’s becoming this very fulfilling new thing in my life that I look forward to exploring a bit more.

q. is there a story behind the mix?

a. First of all I just wanted to thank you guys for having me here and giving me this opporunity to work on this mix, which ended up being very meaningful and downright therapeutic for me to make. It is dedicated to my late best friend Blakely, and also to anyone who lives with that soul deep and unnameable feeling of missing someone, but also feeling them with you all the time. At the very centre of the mix (both figuratively and at the literal halfway point) is a track of Blakes that I hadn’t been able to bring myself to listen to for years. I always thought it was one of the most beautiful things I ever heard and just the purest audio distillation of everything I loved about my friend, and as soon as the mix started to come together I knew it was the right time to bring it back into my life. Everything from there just seemed to come together on is own as if guided by a gentle hand.

The feeling I tried to capture in this mix is not simply sadness because grief is SO much more than that. It’s about how that sadness can also be so deeply intertwined with a feeling of indescribable gratitude and joy in having known a person, and it’s about all the beautiful and unexpected ways we can keep them with us throughout our lives. To me, this mix is exactly that. A way to share the story of my friend with the world and feel closer to him, and I hope that listening to this can give others the space to remember and relate to their own experiences in a way that feels meaningful as well.

q. what’s the best way to enjoy your mix?

a. As is my answer to most things: lying down, eyes closed, cuddling a cute dog. But really, wherever works best for you! 

q. describe a favourite object in your living room...

a. I found the most beautiful/perfect antique rocking chair with a rocking footrest on the sidewalk a couple months ago and I swear I could not even conceptualize a better reading chair. I refused to buy one for years because I wanted it to be perfect (I read nearly as much as I listen to music) and part of me feels like I willed this thing into reality. 

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?

a. I’m thinking about maybe starting some sort of newsletter as my friends keep telling me to do, but for now I’m just gonna keep writing my little bandcamp reviews and making more mixes, cause that’s what’s feeling good right now. And despite my past promise to myself to never become a DJ (half joking) maybe buy a controller and start figuring out how to do some of this stuff live at some point!
