Abrão - The Tropical Magician.

Abrao, which means Abraham in Portuguese,
was born in 1963, in Sao Paulo, Brazil,
growing up in the 60s, in the jewish ghetto of Sao Paulo.

Abrão, which had a big lust for life,
was struggling with society rules,
and wanted to push new borders.

He was the lead singer of the underground post-punk band "Kafka",
performing a lot in the Sao Paulo area during the 80's.
He left the band, and travelled for a psychedelic musical research to India.
In 1997 he wanted to try and start a new life so he moved to Israel.

Also known as the mysterious voice behind the vocal productions of Red Axes,
such as Papa Sooma, Caminho de Dreyfus, Waiting for a surprise,
Sabor and many more.

So now, after several years of intensive touring and recording,
performing already on festivals such as Sonar and Primavera and many more, 
releasing on labels such as Correspondant, Crosstown Rebels, Multi Culti, and more.

Abrao will debut his first solo EP produced by Red Axes,
and released on their own imprint, Garzen Records.

Pre-Order

A2 Abrão - Por Ela

Cubik consist of Michael Sweeney, Clark 'Pav' Davison & Jo Howard (Bird Of Paradise), North East likely lads who have been running parties since 2012, supporting the likes of Daniel Avery, Todd Terje, Man Power and John Talabot. On their debut production for Nein, they show a raw and stripped back slo- techmo: sub-bass kicks, glitchy percussion, crashing cymbals and a bassline which echoes Aphex Twin. Darkroom business, with glimpses of the bright lights just out of reach.

The San Francisco-England rave connection has always been strong from the early days when several English rave crews moved to and influenced the US city with an already strong history of dance music. The new offering from Roam Recordings carries on that tradition by bringing together English producers Heretic (aka Timothy Clerkin whose dark and rugged stylings can be heard on labels such as Nein, Porn Wax, and Throne of Blood) + Buran (the more dance floor focused project from the former Big Mister Doom aka Ian Scott and Joe Wretham) with San Francisco’s finest Jason Kendig of Honey Soundsystem and the acid duo and Chicago transplants Secret Studio (Tyrell Williams and Bryan Balli). The result is a beast of underground acid house bangers. The title track ‘Revile’ comes in three versions - Original, Kendig remix, and Secret Studios remix - all dark and eerie with punch and grit. The unremixed Fractal rounds out this EP with a bit of smoothness but continues to keep the warehouse/dark club vibe that resonates through this EP. This EP is strictly underground and strictly vinyl (300 limited).

Some things just make sense and we’re pleased present the first collaboration of 2 of our favourite artists : RED AXES & C.A.R. 
This release has been a long time coming. Tracks were first exchanged back in 2014 and it’s been an organic, intuitive process. Like-minded musically & likeminded lyrically - Red Axes & C.A.R. seem to work the same way. Recordings happen fast. One or two takes. It’s punk and it’s effortless. 
1960’s, psychedelic 2040 arrived on queue. A sweaty, London-summer evening, after spending the day writing alone out Hackney Marshes, Chloé demo’d the vox. - languid, nostalgic, at arm’s reach from the city - the track depicted the moment perfectly. A paper thin Victorian wall separating her from the chatting neighbours, she shut her eyes and got as close to the mic as possible. 
A few weeks Red Axes & C.A.R. were together in Tel Aviv. Ten times sweatier than London. To say the studio was dripping hot is an understatement. There was a party heaving in the square below, a van parked in the middle, broadcasting out on the radio waves. Dori was determined to use the intimate London vocals for 2040 and so they cracked on with Incognito, a club track that isn't one but works in its own way: rockabilly reverbs, an almost hip-house delivery, the strange alchemy of 808 fumes. Already inebriated from the city, Chloé had written her words off-cuff in the hotel room, just hours before.
Fastforward a year. Summer 2015. Niv had sent Space Cream a few months earlier - an electronic 4/4 ballad which already featured looped samples of some of the stuff they’d recorded in Israel. Heady and sticky, Chloé had to wait for longer days before she could get anything down.
Finally XMan, descends further down into psychedelia… Perfect for the London winter closing in. Heads filled with Cookie Mueller & memories of losing oneself in dark, basement parties - the words rolled off the tongue. 
Last autumn Red Axes invited C.A.R. down to London’s Pickle Factory to perform Incognito live. During soundcheck she penned some words for a new track they were debuting, which they also ended up doing. It’s an experience synonymous for this collaboration. What comes easy, makes sense.

Choosing... Acronyms... Randomly ...
‘Layered, fascinating and irresistible’ - DJ Mag

‘Astonishingly accomplished … Many influences are on display, but C.A.R. connects them in a way uniquely hers.’ - Electronic Sound

C.A.R. (Choosing Acronyms Randomly) is a musical project conceived by Chloé Raunet, a multi-faceted creative living in London. Her self-confessed crush on too many genres results in a unique blend of glacial electronica, post-punk and warming, introspective pop. 

Following three albums on iconic, queer Parisian label Kill The DJ and UK’s Ransom Note, the live act now consists of herself and Joni Green. This latest combination champions female empowerment, injecting fresh energy and hype into the show. Together, they are building a reputation for pulsing, magnetic, sweaty and unforgettable performances. 

December marked another excursion into uncharted territory with the release ‘avant pop masterpiece’, Anzu. More new songs are tricking their way into the set, and C.A.R.'s next LP is on the near horizon.

A fan of the weirder edges of electronic music, Chloé also DJs and hosts the monthly 'On The Slip Road' show on NTS Radio.
