When a reptilian frenchie nomad discovered the sound of guiros & congas shaping into cumbia rhythms, he embraced the vibe and integrated these patterns into his sound... 

In love with electronic music, downtempo and global bass, he decided to try and merge his affection for latin percussions and sounds from the barrios into this 4-tracks EP, much more reggaeton, dembow and digital cumbia than his usual production style. 

A sound exploration from a Latin America lover & beginner cumbiero, with the incredible instrumental and vocal participation of the Moroccan electronic-gnawa music expert Khalil Mounji on "Gnawacumbia", and illustrated by the amazing artwork of Da Iguana's friend 91 36 Art (FR).

PREMIERE : mandruvá • Dark Passinho [algolalgolalgol]

El gran https://soundcloud.com/rafiralfiro expressed for us a less known side of his musical personality : his love for ambient & trip hop. Lay down, close your eyes, and let yourself dive into his dreamy creation.

RBR, what is it ?
Founded by french artists @da-iguana & @dokomodo, Reptilian Business Records aims to be an independent label of hybrid music, with the goal of promoting the fusion of electronic rhythms, organic textures, sound design and traditional influences, through the vision of local and international artists of all kinds. From tribal house to UK dubstep, from psychedelic cumbia to dark disco, from slow trance to indie dance, everything that purrs and reflects its scales, which squeaks and waves at the same time: reptilian music.

About the VA "GECKO BLASTER"
This VA puts the spotlight on 8 countries, represented by twenty artists from radically different scenes, from the parisian organic underground to the dubstep soundsystem scene of Brooklyn, to the downtempo and schnekno of Berlin and Frankfurt, swiss lo-fi, japanese experimental, or slow house drawn from brazilian forests, not to mention the participation of locals from the french southwest who offer organic jungle, dark electro or tribal slow trance... A musical diversity which has a common denominator love for psychedelia, distortion, depth of bass and sharp rhythms like the claws of an arboreal monitor lizard.

Actresses on the stage, atrocious ones on the streets, voices in choir, protagonists in repossession of their bodies and the face of the stage ready to scream! “Ato” (Act) second EP by Cigarra, registers part of her experiences with soundtracks and recent partnerships with Brasilian actresses. They are three tracks composed after studio and stage registers, besides her research of sound collage and samples from the most diverse references.

Support from Tom Ravenscroft on BBC 6 Music

DJ Raff’s original ‘Resistencia EP’ won strong support from tastemakers like Tom Ravenscroft on BBC 6 Music who called it “…his best record ever.” and as well as interviewing DJ Raff he also featured a guest mix on his show. Further support came from Worldwide FM as ‘Resistencia’ was selected as one of ‘This Week’s Essential Tracks’ and featured in Resident Advisor’s ‘New Tracks’.

The ‘Resistencia Remixes’ is now out on digital and in Jan 2020 a special vinyl package with the originals and remixes will be out.

Dengue Dengue Dengue take the reins on remixing title track ‘Resistencia’ and focusing on the drums and bass they have turned it into a heavy 1:56am hypnotic banger. We were at Phonox in Brixton, London when they played it at 1:56am and the drop was met with cheers and whoops… tried and tested!

All round incredible talent El Buho, renowned for his beautifully textured production blending Latin sounds with electronic beats, has given ‘Memoria’ a bouncing bassline, shuffling beat and textured with strings results in an infectious track you can’t help but move to.

Argentinian producer Kaleema (who has previously worked with Chancha Via Circuito) played a version of her DJ Raff remix on a live session at Worldwide FM earlier this year. She has taken ‘Mundo Paralello’ and with added synths and strings turned it into a down-tempo dreamscape.

~ Entangled minds, noospheric realm, astral projections & inner dancing ~

We are delighted to present H2O & GATS' collaborative EP, "Trance Illusion".

Taken from the two sonic explorers’ aquatic jam sessions in Berlin, these four tracks delve into subaquatic machinery and synaptic oscillations. Intuitive, time-distorting, mind melting improvisations recorded between 2019 and 2020 in Matthias Kanik's (GATS) studio.

For the first time, these soundwaves will be translated into the physical world in the shape of a limited Cassette (K7) pressing, inaugurating the Curuba Tapes series ////

“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.
