Short Info:

Moroccan producer Cee ElAssaad & KEENE partnered on a journey to explore and share their vision on two numbers for this EP, which represents only a small piece from the puzzle of the vast diversity of music styles across the African continent.

Africa is famed for its cultural vitality and musical richness. In the countryside, music remains a largely participatory and integral part of everyday cultural life and, in the townships and the modern cities, these deep-rooted traditions have given birth to a wide variety of popular music styles that proliferate across the continent, in the global African diaspora and in centers of 'World Music' around the world.

The songs of Africa are renowned for the profound social and political role they played in the struggle against Apartheid rule. African music was also amongst the core powerhouses that fuelled the development of the 'World Music' movement in the 1980s and its music continues to hold symbolic currency in the representation of 'Africa' in the global imagination today.

'Butundaile' is a traditional chant from "Luba-Shankadi" people in Zaire usually sung in marriages. These interpretations are both powerful, yet deeply harmonious, creating an environment in which the groove moves fluidly, making them a very special addition to the Cacao catalog.

'Ake Yoruba' is a quite intense track that finds its way forward through its thumping drums and bubbling arpeggios that creates an edgy tribal atmosphere. 'Ake' is a Nigerian Yoruba chant, which was sung as a form of motivation for Yorubian workers to help pass the time.

After releases on Diynamic, Kí Records and Connaisseur Recordings, Blindsmyth returns home to Cosmic Society, the label which he co-founded with his very first release in 2016. His new single Lost Voices is a powerful and emotional track, showing his thoughts on the age of social media and the world of digital communication - giving everyone a voice whilst also drowning them out. The idea is displayed beautifully in the combination and opposition of a rocky electric guitar riff with his trademark vocals and melodies. In short, another melodic house and folktronica gem from Blindsmyth.

//// Cosmic Society has not always been a label. It is our platform where we have the opportunity to support each other with new ideas and projects. Our goal is to help and inspire as many friends and people as possible to realize their dreams and to work for a more sustainable (cultural) future.

Blindsmyth‘s art was the first reason to make a label out of Cosmic Society and to support his dream to get out as a musician worldwide. After releases on Diynamic, Connaisseur, Ki Recordings we are happy to welcome him back with this 'Lost Voices' EP before new adventures that will start very soon.

It is with great pleasure that we welcome Stevie R back for a mini album to be released in two parts, each part respectively titled Oropós and Ta Paidia Tis Geitonias.

Stevie has been busy honing his signature “Rebetronica” sound, dynamically fusing the Rebetiko folk music of his Greek homeland with cutting edge influences and analogue electronics. Here he teams up with Parisinos, with whom he is forming a partnership for his own imprint Inside Out Records. The results are impressive, building on his debut album Melt released on Chapter 24 last year.

Part I’s title track Oropós is a case in point; it is a feat in elegant, pared back simplicity. An insanely catchy vocal offsets an equally hooky bassline and percussion track. Somehow pulling off being dark and upbeat through something of a "haunted house” vibe, the piece is satisfyingly propelled forward by a menacing acid line.

Oropós then receives a massive rework courtesy of Crossbreed founder Kiwi. Also based in London, the artist showcases all his skills on an Edition that amps the power and the darkness of the original while adding a touch of reverie for very good measure.

Part I is satisfyingly rounded off by a second original, Melina (on Acid). Italo-drenched arpeggios glisten across a cosmic backdrop, atop an octave bass. The sounds of the night have never felt so good.

Three thrilling stories in sound. Watch out for follow up package Ta Paidia Tis Geitonias in the coming weeks.

Support from the likes of Ransom Note, Les Yeux Orange, Gouranga, Eelke Kleijn, Doctor Dru, Mira, Echonomist, Just Her, Madmotormiquel, Clandestino, Mathias Schober, Olderic, Damon Jee, Cabaret Nocturne and many more.

Original artwork by Kimi Zoet.
