Dat García in the house

The musician and producer Dat Garcia, is set to release her third record, Las Fuerzas Almadas on April 1st 2022 via ZZK Records.

Recorded in her studio and hotel rooms on tour, these eleven tracks created with charangos, ronrocos, synthesizers and plenty of vocal effects, reflect the beauty of all that is transformed, from monstrosity understood as honesty, desire, authenticity, the heterogeneous versus the hegemonical. “That place of false comfort of local customs compared to the outer edges where the unique things that truly gratify us live.” It’s a cultural alert that brings new meaning to strength and power, reinterpreting them as the life energy of the movement and transformation.

A constant creator, feeling her way in the dark—she’s also designed costumes, scenographies and scripts for shows—Dat finds meaning in her works as she progresses, “trusting that my process will lead me to a new, unfamiliar place.”

So it is that Las Fuerzas Almadas—a name that came to her in a dream—comes across as a natural but developed consequence of her previous records: the debut Ermitaño Interior (2013) in which she created a work of introspection that led her to discover her “face as a healthy, happy-go-lucky person who covered up everything that was actually destroying me”; and its successor, Maleducada (2017), recorded in hospital during chemotherapy treatment, the result of understanding disease as a symptom of a scarce or zero emotional education: “Awakening a ‘me’ that was very obedient to being told what to do, always trying to please others at the expense of my own existence.”

Las Fuerzas Almadas is another step in the life game of discovering (yourself): “I don’t believe myself when I force myself to be someone else, I’m a slave to my mind. I’ve learned to be again,” she sings on “Todos Tienen Un Plan”. Dat crosses over atmospheres and genres to create catchy, danceable music with some dark edges. She observes reality like a radiant animal that went away to get to know itself and now knows how all its organs and muscles work, the hormones it produces, the neurons that are activated. “You can’t sneeze with your eyes open but I can recognize a perverse cover-up,” she says in “Ser Humano.” She communicates with cats better than with the “billions of people dancing in the dark,” but all the same she wants to take part in the transformation of the world: “Eradicating violent beliefs is this movement’s mission,” in “El Día Fuera del Tiempo.” A love song for the earth, a call to combat psychological apathy, the inertia of digital communication and reconstruct magical bonds with the everyday.

“I have a four-year-old daughter. While she’s growing up, I’m taking myself apart. One day she replied to me: ‘I don’t do that because I’m calm.’ We diagnosed her as a ‘calm girl,’ she believes it and acts accordingly. That’s how humanity lives. They declare in some way what we must be: poor, rich, mothers, doctors, losers. This syndrome of prefabricated beings affects us intimately. When do we discover and allow ourselves to be who we are? I want to be that monster that lets the chaos in. The chaos makes me peculiar and random and I allow it. I allow myself to be who I am and change as many times as it takes. If we artists are the historians and the faith healers of our time, this album sets out to take back words lost in mental battles and recover the power over us: the forces that have come with the souls in their hands.”

Dat García’s Las Fuerzas Almadas will be released April 1st 2022

Australian Rapoeira wizard XANGA is back on Multi Culti with a 3-tracker, backed by a sparkly remix from Ecuador’s Nicola Cruz.

Multi Culti throws down a kitschy pop manifesto with Get Outta My Dreams, a Tarzan-sampling call to the wild that implores us to leave the city and align with nature. Xanga gives overt voice to what we’re all feeling, stuck in urban existence, longing to dance among jungle spirits. 

This is the Way it Starts continues with mad-cap percussion, taking things far off the rails of conventional dance music with live-pulsing rhythms and fast paced arrangement. La Luz rounds off the EP with a hypnotic, shaker-driven groove and trippy, delay-soaked tuned percussion layers. Xanga moving with confident steps towards a distinctly individual sound. 

Nicola Cruz, hot off his latest releases on Multi Culti and ZZK, chimes in with his remix of Get Outta My Dreams, reinforcing the beats, adding his chugging South American tribalism while preserving the feel of the original.

Release date: Oct. 5, 2015

“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.
