“Which sounds lie within the quietness that precedes the rise of new species?”

Calmaria is the first act of Acta Recordings, previously named AVNT Recordings. The label went through a rebranding and reconfiguration to better represent a new generation of emerging artists, specially from Brazil and Latin America.

Acta Recordings aims to be a sheltering space for divergent and limitless creative artists, gender-bending through Pop and Obscure music. We're designing a new and exciting home, from scratch and within the possibilities of our resource availability in a socio-political complicated country - collectively world-building and terraforming in inhospitable places.

“If we blackened out the sky we can turn it to light 
I wanna find you in the rhythm 
I wanna gift you the night 
I'm trynna pull up on your fears and disappear them from sight 

…we come alive in the basement, we come alive...”

After releasing an EP, "Angeltribe" on London label TT in 2020, and "Vorphic Skin" on Toothgrinder Press in 2023, Kat Nzingha's debut album "Grind" will be released on AngeltribeXTL in May of 2023. Based in Philadelphia, Kat Nzingha is a multidisciplinary artist that explores experimentations with abstruse textures. By combining their sculptural works with heavy low-end frequencies and celebratory tones they create blissfully cryptic sonic materials that are the extended bodies of modified objects of which they consistently fabricate. "Grind" conjures the spirit of the sculptural entity that is physically attached to Nzingha's body as seen on the album art. The sculpted spirit is manifested through the sonic form of convulsing kicks, metallic percussion, and hyper-processed textures. 

"It's finally time to release "Grind" after sitting on the album for two years. The end of 2020 was when I started to build...  more

Artist: IN THE SUN
Album: Dawn
Format: Digital / Tape
Cat.No: CHI049
Master: IN THE SUN
Artwork: Saphy Vong
Release Date: 27.09.24

Pounding traditional drums and grinding synths herald Dawn, the new album from post-industrial Tokyo duo IN THE SUN, their first release on Chinabot.

Dawn was inspired by the musical traditions and wild mountain landscapes of composer TIDEPOOL’s childhood in rural Japan. Layers of ethereal synthesizers and wailing saxophones by Kim Pueru evoke the mist and granite of mountains are beaten with rhythms that hit like shattering rocks.

The record “embodies a fusion of synthetic and percussive elements, evoking both mysticism and raw energy,” says TIDEPOOL. “The juxtaposition of dystopian undertones and the resilience of nature serves as a thematic backdrop, reflecting on societal shifts and personal introspection.”

Dawn’s instrumentation may be inspired by Japanese taiko drums and African percussion, but it remains extremely contemporary, with swirling rhythms of singeli, juke, footwork, gabber, and minimal to create an evil cacophony. The album also nods to the GORGE movement, which is experiencing a resurgence in Japan.

TIDEPOOL describes the record as an “epic poem.” This is evident on Twilight, where urgent synths and nimble per- cussion makes you wonder what Akira would have looked like set in on a mountain range instead of in Tokyo.

On Voidance, bells, drums and saxophone are whipped up onto a violent storm which builds and crashes repeatedly, a powerful statement of intent from one of Tokyo’s most exciting contemporary acts.

About IN THE SUN:

Organized by TIDEPOOL since 2011, IN THE SUN has a fluid lineup, with Kim Pueru joining on tenor saxophone for Dawn. TIDEPOOL utilizes ethnic drums, synthesizers, and laptops and is influenced and inspired by artists such as Haruomi Hosono, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Throbbing Gristle, Geinoh Yamashirogumi, CAN, among others.
They supported Baltimore duo Matmos during their Japan tour and organized the party known as “RAW TEMPO” at Bushbash.

El mito busca ser entendido mediante el lenguaje de lo emotivo y lo sensible. Al alimentarse de lo fantástico, adquiere una fuerza expresiva  poderosa.  
Cada track del EP realiza un recorrido que va desde los seres  de los relatos  históricos (como las sirenas en la mitología griega) a los seres más autóctonos, (como el Pombero de la mitología guaraní, así como también los de leyendas que nacieron en las últimas décadas, por ejemplo  el chupacabras).

Mitologik y _pagana toma como concepto lo que significan los mitos y las leyendas en el imaginario colectivo, planteando un desafío a los límites de la lógica y del razonamiento, parámetros a los que está sometido el sujeto moderno.
