Hey this is Skwirl here to gab at you briefly about the records we have coming for this year’s thematic cluster! The theme is Nostalgic Wavs and each record has been linked to a concept under the rather large umbrella of nostalgia as a function of emotional attachment to memory. 


The fourth record for Nostalgic Wavs is Spoke’s endlessly colourful and spirited LP ‘You Make Me Feel Dramatic’ and it’s our Déjà Vu selection.

Déjà Vu is a concept that needs no introduction as an estimated 97 percent of people have experienced it at least once. It is categorised as a strong familiarity with a present situation or experience - to the extent of believing it has been perceived or experienced before - despite it being new. We’ve mapped it as restorative, present, unknowing on our Nostalgic Wavs map.

Spoke is a queer, non binary German producer based in Berlin known most prominently for their blistering hip hop productions that have become a fixture in the international, experimental, and non-traditional fringes of the Berlin Deutschrap scene. Spoke started their musical career as a DJ in Berlin in the late 2000s, amidst a cascade of grime and garage migrating from the UK en route to the thumps and stomps of the techno capital -  that fertile ground of cross pollination and the exciting rise of the German beat scene can still be found reverberating through their work now.


Indeed, when arriving upon what the LP for Woodland Creatures would sound like we found mutual excitement in exploring their roots in club music both classic and contemporary, pop and underground. A stint living in the UK some years back had solidified their love for garage, drum and bass and the wider UK funky continuum; and, this merged with a keen infatuation with stateside movements like jersey house, juke and footwork in the years since moving back to Berlin - all culminating in a collision of style, sounds and ethos that had been percolating in them for quite some time. 

The result is ‘You Make Me Feel Dramatic’, a punchy, short and sweetly diaphanous transatlantic club scene love letter born of Spoke’s personal journey and subterranean explorations which is brimming with immediacy, life, colour and aimed squarely at breathless sweaty dancefloor workouts. Spoke’s authentic filtering of inspirations and synthesised style mashups yields a record that feels impossibly familiar - like club joints you could swear you know but are of course brand new - and speaks of a producer poised to take the audience on a personal journey they might not expect but one that is kaleidoscopic, spritely, infectious, and just flat out fun.

fmvee - who do u love? (QUEESTE006)

05 sobbing

fmvee joins Queeste with who do u love?, an EP of fractious songs recorded over a tumultuous four-month period in Los Angeles. Having debuted in 2018 with a set of club contortions touching on jungle and 2-step, the US artist returns with a work of intense self-reflection. Lived experiences are transmuted into an amorphous bricolage of pummelling kicks, synthetic textures, and diaristic details, what they describe as an act of “remembrance.”

Working and living in LA, the “grind” alongside “aspirational partying,” and the confrontation of depression during an intense relationship, informs the EP on levels both sonic and thematic. The slippery rhythm and melodic stabs of ‘the way you see yourself’ embodies a state of flux, also recalling the early experiments of the LA beat scene. Distant jazz drumming fills its peaceful coda before ‘everythingUneverKnewUwanted’ introduces an echo lifted directly from the artist’s life: a trickling courtyard fountain. This first phase of the release finds resolution with ‘thewayothersseeyou,’ a conceptual mirror to its start, and one which carries a notable shift in tone; gleaming percussion has given way to ominous synths.

Despite the EP’s personal nature, collaboration is crucial. ‘Seed Perfuming (LoLo v665)’ is an fmvee original transformed into a cascading breakbeat by New York producer and engineer Loric Sih AKA LoLo, an ecstatic yet familiar form nestled amidst otherwise bruising encounters. ‘sobbing’ follows, a digital-age ballad of original lyrics exploring dependency: emotional, physical, and otherwise. It’s a poignant conclusion to an appropriately hallucinogenic collection, an intoxicating chemistry of love and loneliness conjured through a fine balance of bass, percussion, discord, and harmony.

On behalf of fmvee, a percentage of all profits will be donated to Baltimore Harm Reduction Coalition, a community-based organisation that mobilises community members for the health, dignity, and safety of people targeted by the war on drugs and anti sex-worker policies.

“El sonido de Caballito refleja el calor, la alegría, las raíces, las ganas de mover el culo, el sudor, la buena onda...”
Caballito da a luz en una cálida Granada en septiembre de 2010, fruto del reencuentro entre Bigote y Grita, dos auténticos exploradores y recicladores de los ritmos latinoamericanos.
Pioneros en nuestro país en esta corriente ElecTropical que poco a poco va invadiendo todo el globo, empiezan sus andadas publicando varias mixtapes en su propia web y en distintos blogs del subterráneo movimiento. Pronto decidirían ilustrar sus mezclas con una explosión de gifs animados, vídeos y colores estridentes y muy chillones (creados por ellos, son también apasionados de la imagen), creando así un entorno psicodélico, divertido y uniforme. Fue entonces cuando Grita y Bigote decidieron lanzarse a la producción estableciendo su propio netlabel, siguiendo la línea de la licencia libre (Creative Commons). De esta forma, todo lo publicado en Caballito, ya sean producciones suyas o de otros artistas, fluye libremente por la red.

“Caballito sound reflects the warmth, the energy, the roots, the need to move the ass, the sweat, the good wave...”
Caballito is born in Granada, in September 2010, when Daniel aka Bigote and David aka Grita meet again. It was a while since these two guys were checking out traditional Latino-American rhythms and discovering the Digital Cumbia, new Tropical style emerging all around the world.
Caballito, pioneer in our Country within this musical current, started publishing mixtapes in his own web and in different blogs, with the intention of breaking our hips. But quickly this world was too small for them, so they started to flood us with videos and psychedelic gifs. Was at that time when Grita y Bigote jumped into production creating their own netlabel, whose phylosophy follow the free licence idea. All the stuff published - their own productions and the collaborators’ ones - all flow freely through the web.
