With her DJing and creative project Automagicalley on hiatus, Adi’s 2020 has been home to a slower kind of alchemy - the creative processing of two years’ worth of musical sense impressions into the basic fact of a needle on a record.

Our dear Walrus tells the story best:

“Adi picked me up from El Dorado airport around Christmas 2018. I remember that moment stuck in a hot summer traffic jam, both of us laughing at the rattling from the trunk of her dad’s car - good ears! That evening we played outside under a lemon tree at one of the first Automagicalley events, a wonderful b2b full of curiosity and honesty about art, spirituality and life. Fast forward through some Europe trips - of course including a Basic Moves party - and we arrive at this mini album. The fruit of half a year of friendly exchange between Adi, me and our magical mix engineer Chris ‘Funk’ Ferreira, it reveals Adi’s authentic spirit - always moving, forever creating and endlessly believing.”

Adi herself explains the many emotions and headspaces influencing her process: the self-reflective loop of lockdown, the ebb and flow of working alone and with others, the despair of conflict and endings, the dizzy optimism of a Don Cherry album. Now these feeling-frequencies can be heard even louder around the globe.

All music written and produced by ADI in Bogota/Colombia and Lima/Peru from 2018 and finished during winter, spring and summer of 2020. Mixed and post-produced by Chris “funk” Ferreira in Brussels/Belgium. Mastered by Stefan Betke at Scape Berlin. Brought to you by Crevette Distribution Brussels/Belgium. Scratches on “Over” by ECKS MDC. Artwork by Atelier Brenda. Shout out to Laury and Mad for your amazing voices :-) <3 ‘’ and to Justin, Kim, Jakob, Pim, Boudewijn, Mike, Joe, Jordan, Sam, Ellen, Rodri , Naty, Diego, Purpura and all the other like minded souls supporting this culture. One circle.
