Sascha Cawa & Dirty Doering - Zacapa

Sveiciens sweeties!

Unbeknown to human eyes, it slowly spreads and spans across the soil. Well guarded from sunlight it grows inside until it comes to fruition in its whole glory. Have a taste, don’t be shy. Mycelia are interwoven with forest floors and provide a most subtle form of communication. Under the veil of darkness words are not important anymore, our feelings will lead the way through doors of deception into a world that’s strangely parallel to the one we accepted as the real one for so long. What is real anyway?

Well. Honestly we don’t know any more than you. But what’s definitely real is the feels we get from this beautiful collage of sounds, carefully crafted to perfection by Ameli Paul. The Berlin based duo has already made quite the name for themselves with their enchanting live performances and releases. Just like the universe, their catalogue and ours alike (and maybe soon even your vinyl collection) expands with Mycelia.

Spanning from a hot and hungry rave-ioli approach at dance floors over into a soft and cozy fireplace cuddle, just for a second though, only to hop back onto the dance floor with nothing less than a double remix by brutalo-disco hero Curses and finished off with Brigade pulling out the whipped cream and sprinkles on the opener, this release may as well be called a micro album instead of the ordinary acronym “EP”. Or mini at least.

Anyways, we are maximally delighted to welcome the two on our little adventure label.
May these songs offer you some (de)light in the upcoming months of darkness, you are not alone out there.

Love,

Drosssel

ARTIST STATEMENT

Deaf Safari is an audio collage of subjects that interest me and speak of the world I live in.
It is an album composed of sampled recordings from the media landscape that has been the soundtrack to my life over the last ten years.

The most important development in my current music and as can be heard on Deaf Safari has been my understanding of the beauty and power of the spoken word. I have experienced severe indifference to contemporary pop and electronic music as a whole over the last many years, as I have felt that social comment of any relevance has been ignored by music in general.
Deaf Safari attempts to bring sociopolitical comment into my music without taking any specific stand.
Sampled outside of musical influence directly from the news; from preacher sermons or from contemporary African documentaries.
I have finally created a story with sound that I feel accurately conveys my personal experience with the African world I live in.

My musical influences on this album lie mostly with local Kwaito house. Deaf Safari is an experiment within certain boundaries of the 4/4 genre, to create my own South African "house" album.
I am proud and inspired about the South African Kwaito house scene.
However, as with my first three albums, "Thin Shoes In June“ (2001) - "4/4 Down The Stairs“ (2002) and "Dark Days Exit“ (2005), I am still interested in making strange and evocative music.

American Roots music from the earlier periods of the 20th century has deeply resonated with me during the making of this album.
The incredible field recordings by Alan Lomax of Negro prison and chain gang work songs, and the
beautiful early recordings of artists such as Leadbelly have had a major influence on Deaf Safari.

I am truly excited to release this album and to start performing in the music world again. It has been ten years since I released "Dark Days Exit , and although I have been purposefully absent from the music world, I have none the less never stopped making music.
I feel that I have finally arrived at a mature and challenging stage in my pursuit of making emotional music of relevance .

“Noom! es una descarga de groove y poder que resulta del choque entre el estruendo de una banda militar y un ensamble de afro beat. En esta colaboración los ritmos y las fanfarrias callejeras de Borchi y Su Doble Redoble se combinan con una instrumentación exquisita del productor belga Ozferti para crear un track único que combina la furia del hip hop con la elegancia y sabor del funk africano.”
