SUCHI - Make It Thru [4:42]

Premiere: Mr. Ho & Xiaolin 'Ngomee'

Self Oscillation’ is made up of 5 club-ready psychedelic workouts swaying with natural momentum, from Ecuadorian superstar Nicola Cruz, who makes his 2nd appearance on London’s Rhythm Section INTL.

The internationally renowned producer, Nicola Cruz, has been instrumental in pioneering the sound of Andean music over the last decade. Born and raised in Ecuador, Nicola has found his own unique way to tap into Latin America’s illustrious musical past to create something utterly contemporary. His previous projects have had the 4 elements running through as major themes: Fire and lava erupted during his sophomore album, Siku, with an Ecuadorian volcano doubling up as a recording space. And now, with his second Rhythm Section release, we are met with sounds of flowing water that Nicola describes as “aqueous explorations”.

On this EP, ‘Self Oscillation’, Nicola Cruz fuses experimental production techniques with underwater, bass-heavy constructions. Moods change like the tides; from euphoric highs with acid riffs and latin drum patterns, the music quickly dives to moody submarine basslines and dark, frenetic rhythms.

With ‘Cadera’, Soca rhythms flow through the track, juxtaposed by glitching, robotic bass - combining to startling effect. As Nicola says himself, “I’m always trying to re-interpret this afro caribbean feeling, and trying to figure out how I could humanize this through the machines”.

'Geodesis' is out now'. 
Interdépendence EP out 6th July.
Get it here: https://smarturl.it/onloop014

Moxie’s On Loop label is back with a new release from Eternal Ocean label founder Ronan. The new EP,Interdépendence, follows on from his highly acclaimed debut album ‘Reflections On Intrinsic Value’ and further contributions to labels such as Pressure Dome, Vanity Press and Jungle Gym. Ronan’s productions are described as ‘aquatic sounds for healing’ and this release for On Loop is no different. Very much driven by percussion, the EP opens with a trippy dub-infused ‘Sudor De Alma’, whilst the second track ‘Interdependence’ showcases a more emotionally driven production, filled with blissful, ethereal pads and hypnotic vocal samples. It’s a moment of reflection before picking things up again on ‘Geodesis’ where excitable drum patterns lead the way, bringing you to the centre of the dancefloor. ‘Morning Glory’ rounds off the EP in glistening style - the perfect sunrise anthem.

DJ Raff - Estado Líquido EP

Label: Scene Unseen 
https://soundcloud.com/djraff

Scene Unseen return with their second release, following the debut release from Jinjé and this time we see a release from a pioneer in the Chilean electronic music and Hip-Hop scenes, DJ Raff.

Having released more recently on the label Big in Japan (the previous label from the Scene Unseen camp), with his beautiful Resistancia EP, the label were keen to welcome him back onboard for the new project.

Raff’s routes were originally in the Hip-Hop scene back in his native, Chile. His influence of this scene cannot be understated, as his name appeared in the credits of over 50 Hip-Hop releases coming out of the country. Most notably with Anna Tijoux and Makiza, as well as seeing his own track ‘Latino & Proud’ used in the EA Sports game, FIFA 2012 and then later as the theme music for the Comedy Central show, Broad City.

As time moved on, so did Raff’s sound and he started to move into more of an instrumental focus, moving away from any vocals and the Hip-Hop rhythms. Since then he has released on Mutante Discos, Nacional Records, Wonderwheel Recordings and his own Pirotecnia label, among others. As well as remixing for the mighty Dengue Dengue Dengue, Landikhan and more.

DJ Raff has played events like Sonar Barcelona, Mutek.ES, Lollapalooza (US, Argentina, Chile), RBMA Mexico and Red Bull also invited him to mentor at the 2015 RBMA Bass Camp academy in Chile. His last album 'Movimiento' was released in 2017 on Nacional records and earnt him a nomination for best electronic music artist at the Pulsar awards in Chile.

Raff’s new EP for Scene Unseen, Estado Líquido, is an EP of true beauty once again, showcasing four tracks that combine his signature Latin American vibes with his hip-hop influences.

The title track opens the EP with the calm samples and inspiration from the sound of the ocean, an emotive nod to the people attempting to travel from Africa to Europe over the years and the struggles they have faced.

“Basta” translates to “Enough” in Spanish, this track is inspired by the large-scale protests in Chile back in 2019 and lasting until March 2020. An electronic hip-hop beat alongside a constant synth arpeggio that was something more common to his early productions. Casualidad is a reference to a more personal stage of Raff’s life, with soft, bright, and uplifting melodies flowing between more fine percussive works.

Final track, Ceremonia, combines percussive African rhythms with melancholic Synth leads and pads, alongside a deep solid bass line and repetitive chants. The repetitive chants and percussions hold together the opposite worlds of happy festive rhythms and nostalgic melodies, taking the song to a place where both feelings combine in harmony.

Artwork is made by DMNC (Francisco Meneses) a designer, art director and VJ from Santiago de Chile. Previous work is linked to 3D animation and he actively collaborates with various electronic music projects across Latin America.

Buy the track/ pre-order the album:  https://musicandactivism.bandcamp.com/album/place-tunisia

Place: - Air Texture’s regional nonprofit series focused on local environmental causes, features Tunisia for its next in the series curated by Azu Tiwaline and Shinigami San.

As old veterans of electronic deep explorations they are driven by the aim to provide a general view and an état des lieux of the electronic microcosm of this scene supporting its different directions and creative aspects. This compilation is an invitation to have a deep dig into electronic Tunisia.

The artists curated to participate represent different backgrounds and musical perspectives. From score composers to established producers, crossing the path of more experimental ones the curators offer a large view of the ensemble of the different electronic approaches in Tunisia. Different generations are also meeting through this compilation, regrouping almost four decades of producers and sonic creators.

Supporting Organization

As with prior Place: releases, all proceeds will go to a local environmental organization with both artists contributing their music and Air Texture donating its time and resources. For this release, the recipient organization is La Ruche, based in South Tunisia, Tozeur.

Azu Tiwaline

Nothing happens overnight. Behind every emergence, there’s years of work, thought and preparation - both intentional and unconscious - that’s gone unseen. “A new name for a new spirit”, is how Azu Tiwaline introduced herself to the world in 2020. But really, it was a project with its roots in over two decades of experimentation, soul-searching - both creative and personal - and exploration. It fuses together two halves of her own identity, inspired by her home in the desert. Personal history collides with heritage: half step rhythms from a career in bass music met the warm winds and wide open silence of El Djerid in Tunisia. When music is sincere and honest, it tends to reverberate more widely, and deeply. Her debut LP Draw Me A Silence - released by her ‘family’ at I.O.T. - and her heralded Magnetic Service EP for Livity Sound clearly resonated with listeners in 2020. Something about the spacious, yet dense sonics spoke to an audience starved of both the community of the dancefloor and the space of the outside world. Magnetic Service was one of the most acclaimed debut EPs of the year, featuring in end of year coverage from Bandcamp to Resident Advisor. What comes next is as yet unwritten. In the meantime, take inspiration from her music: keep the tempo steady, let some light in, and listen for the silence.

Hannah Lee - Transiciones (full EP out March 10)
Label: Pronoia Souvenirs (https://soundcloud.com/pronoiasouvenirs)
https://soundcloud.com/hannahleemusica

Güera, an abstract exploration of identity without any particular conclusion, combines the sounds of digital keyboard percussion, white noise, and two different electric organs while playing with vibrato, delay feedback, and other analog production techniques to create the soundtrack to a time of particular uncertainty in the artist’s life. As the drums sound, distort, and glitch out in an expression of extreme volatility, the melody maintains balance and sounds strikingly innocent at times, and powerful at others. The organs twist and turn throughout the track, transforming themselves through phases of suspense, liberation, and finally into the unsettling sound of a woman singing (or screaming).

Hannah Lee is a producer, sound artist, and DJ from LA, currently based in CDMX. Their work explores the introspective and corporeal possibilities of music and sound by weaving sonic textures built from field recordings, analog instruments, and other found noises. The ever-evolving producer has launched sound experiments in a variety of formats, from long-form ambient projects like their collaboration with Colombian gaita player El León Pardo - 'Y que es el sol para ellos, sino algo que produce sombras?' - to their happy-go-melancholy EP 'Cosas Finas' on the Brazilian label Voodoohop, to club singles in collaboration with Hermetics (Multi Culti) and NTFL (CTM).

Cult Berlin club night and label African Acid is the Future returns with the second release in their Ambiance trilogy that takes listeners into the unique spirit of the club night. This time, they offer a series of recordings from the party itself, all taken live in the heat of the party in May 2018. Featuring two tracks from Les Filles de Illighadad and two from Edmony Krater and remixes by AAITF residents Dauwd and Maryisonacid, as well as DJ Oil.
Les Filles de Illighadad come from a secluded commune in central Niger, far off in the scrubland deserts at the edge of the Sahara. Best known for their guitar performances, this recording from AAITF finds them at their percussive best on the simply titled “Tende I” and “Tende II”
Tende takes its name from a drum built from a goat skin stretched across a mortar and pestle. Like its environs, tende music is a testament to wealth in simplicity, with sparse compositions built from a few elements: vocals, handclaps, and percussion. Songs speak of the village, of love, and of praise for ancestors. It’s a music form dominated by women. Collective and communal, tende is tradition for all the young girls of the nomad camps, played during celebrations and to pass the time during the late nights of the rainy season.
Edmony Krater is an avant-garde percussionist, singer and trumpet player, as well as a native of Guadeloupe. For his performance, Krater performs a duo of tracks separated by three decades, but united by Carribean rhythms. “Gwadloup” was originally released in 1988 as part of the album “Edmony Krater Et Zepiss – Tijan Pou Velo,” while “Lagé” is taken from 2018’s album “Edmony Krater – An ka sonjé"
Dauwd and Maryisonacid turn in their first ever collaborative remix, turning “Tende II” into a powerful
yet restrained groove that perfectly captures the feel of peak-time on an AAITF dancefloor, mixing a playful synthesis with traditional instruments and building bridges between genres without resorting to clichés.
Dauwd applies his gently bubbling style to Krater’s “Gwadloup,” utilising as many elements of the original as possible to construct a lounging, authentic groove that thrives on an irresistible live bassline. A special AAITF outro kisses off “Lage” before French master DJ Oil closes the record with his layered, sophisticated interpretation of “Gwadloup.”
