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).

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.

About ALMHD (instrumental)

ALMHD is a track created by Pablo after woke up one summer day of 2021, for this reason the name came from Almohada (Pillow), continuing the energy of the dreams, inspired on chill lofi sounds with reggaeton groove, to dance dreaming on a beach from latinamérica.

It is the first single by Don Plok after his first European Tour, as the first release of his next album, in a collaboration between the Folcore and Rebel Up labels. Mixed at Nogal Estudio and Oídos Contentos, mastered at Oídos Contentos by Manuel Schaller, producer of the album with Pablo.

The next singles will feature important international featurings, such as Soom T. Each month a new single will be released prior to the release of the album in digital and vinyl format, which will be published at the end of April or beginning of May, anticipating their next European Tour.

Acerca de ALMHD (instrumental)

Este track suave y bailable combina un beat de reggaetón con armonías que asoman al RNB o nu soul, sin perder la cadencia de los ritmos latinoaméricanos.

ALMHD es un track creado en una mañana después de levantarse, (el nombre viene de Almohada). Continuando el mood de los sueños, Pablo aka Don Plok presenta guiños melódicos de RnB o lofi, con un groove de reggaeton que invita a bailar en una playa de latinoamérica. Es el primer single de Don Plok después de su primer Tour Europeo, como primer lanzamiento de su próximo álbum, en una colaboración entre los sellos Folcore y Rebel Up. Mezclado en Nogal Estudio y Oídos Contentos, masterizado en Oídos Contentos por Manuel Schaller, productor del disco junto a Pablo.

African Gyal Drop it Low

An album of music inspired by the song of endangered birds with 100% of the profits going towards organisations working to protect them.

"A Guide to the Birdsong of Mexico, Central America & the Caribbean” is the second Volume in the series following on from "A Guide to the Birdsong of South America", originally released on Robin's label Rhythm and Roots. Volume I raised nearly 15,000 USD for two birding organisations and featured artists like Nicola Cruz, Dengue Dengue Dengue and Chancha Via Circuito.

For this second edition we have shifted focus north of the equator and to the vulnerability of bird species like the Momoto Carenado (Nicaragua), Ferminia (Cuba) and the Jamaican Blackbird (Jamaica), birds who have dwindled in numbers as a result of the environmental repercussions of climate change, deforestation and trapping for the pet trade.

For the album we chose 10 endangered or threatened bird species and challenged 10 of our favourite producers or musicians from the region. Working with the Xeno Canto birdsong community and the Macaulay Library, we sourced a recording of each bird’s song. Each artist was then asked to create an original piece of music inspired by the bird and its song.

In line with out vision at Shika Shika the curation of artists is specifically geared towards those bridging connections between traditional music and modernity, or between organic and electronic sounds. There are contributions from artists in eight different countries, ranging from Jamaica’s organic dancehall trio Equiknoxx, to Dj Jigüe, one of the leaders of Cuba’s burgeoning electronic scene. Belize’s critically renowned Garifuna Collective have been bringing the unique Garifuna culture and language to a global audience for many years, while Tamara Montenegro has quickly become one of Nicaragua’s leading female electronic producers.

The project would not have been possible without the support of an incredible Kickstarter community, helping us raise £12,599 in August 2019.

Once the costs of production have been covered, all of the proceeds from this album will be donated to Birds Caribbean, La Asociación Ornitológica de Costa Rica and Fundacion TXORI in Mexico. All profits from the sales of the record, music streaming, poster and t-shirt will be shared between these organisations who focus on engaging local communities to help improve and grow the bird tourism sector, create awareness of vulnerable birds with young people and crucially, provide rescue, rehabilitation and breeding programmes.

Di Laif - Colín Ocelado

“Ecology without class struggle is gardening” - Chico Mendes,

Ecologia (Ecology): One could say it has a diverse narrative regarding to culture, technical practices, communication, uprising and contradictions. From organic to sampling, digital to analog, from wildfire to social ecology.

"Ecocide" as a project of social organisation is completely related with the capitalist concept of "Necropolitics". Both concepts aim in everything the possibility of commerce and exploitation.

Ibus come from jungles, some of them born from bushes, others from sand, concrete or water. The newborns are currently being brought to life in this sabotaged and poisoned environment, however , Ibus are organised with plenty of reasons for an uprising.

Searching in it’s first act of transition, “Ecologia" presents the end of this stage of nature’s doom and prepare us for the spring!

The EP "Ibu Selva - Ecologia" talks about transition, as a will to change, to instigate profound feelings, commotion and self knowledge.

“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.
