Taken from "Balam - Chants of Pachamama (Part 2) EP (Hard Fist)". Out October 15th.

After a first volume released in September 2020 on Hard Fist, Argentinian Balam comes with “Chants of Pachamama (Part. 2)”, including a remix by Matias Aguayo.
This time Balam focuses on the experience around the ritual of magic plants that is practiced in the deep South-American rainforest. By mixing modular synth, stromping basslines, haunting vocals and real played percussions produced in his studio “Submarea” in Buenos Aires, he recreates a psychedelic trip from beginning to end. 
The opening track “Yagé” is the name for a magic plant that can be found in many places in South America. With a tight djembe, the magician comes with his chants for starting the ceremony just before the bass bursts for a pagan dance. An irresistible lead synth takes the climax higher until the break where the magician enters the void and the psychedelic trip begins.
“El Curandero” - the chaman who leads the ritual - is the second tune of a frenetic organic and modular percussion bass driven dance stomper. Blazing synthesizers create a state of confusion and hallucinations when “el curandero” chants his icaros. The djembes and shakers move behind the heavy bassline while analog ding and dongs go crazy all over.
The second last track “Golfo”, just before the remix, is an instrumental tune, the end of the experience: heavy synthetic percussion, modular ambient sounds, a modal marimba and a very present djembe jamming until it fades in the analog night.
The closing track is a great reinterpretation of “Wakax” from “Chants of Pachamama (Part 1)” by the legend Matias Aguayo. A dark and heavy bass mixed with a tricky use of lots of the original elements makes you wanna twerk all night long.

PREMIERE – Radial Gaze – Tetra Seeds (Dominik Marz Remix) (Thisbe)

Oblako Maranta, the tribal techno and weird disco duo formed by Russian producer Radial Gaze and Italian A-Tweed, are set to make their debut on the label with their EP, ‘Maranta Kicks’. The EP consists of three original tracks and a powerful percussive remix by German poet and musician Bryan Kessler.

The duo has already released several tracks in different compilations by Samo Records, Electric Shapes, Playground Records, Rotten City, and many more. With ‘Maranta Kicks’, the duo brings their wild drums, analog synths, odd magic samples, and deep “Maranta” kicks to their first EP.

The opener is “Mongol Triol”, a track with tribal trance-inducing percussion, and deep basses. The synth-artificial jungle takes you on an expedition, gradually revealing a mysterious lead created with a TB 303 while the ethereal voices resonate in the background and keeps the journey alive. The following cut, “Pumas”, is slow, somniferous, and powerful. Resonant and metallic synths play in the background, while the rhythm slowly gains strength to enter the machine's gears. The non-stop percussion adds to the overall effect.

Bryan Kessler's remix follows, a lively and energetic cut. Sharp sounds accelerate the pace, welcomed by a fat and solid bass, playful and resounding percussion, snare rolls, and sedative vocals. The EP closes with ‘Vega’s Glove’, a frenzied and wild track. Melting synths generate the atmosphere, while the drum and bassline take you on a journey through a tunnel of delirium and bottomless pit.

‘Maranta Kicks’ by Oblako Maranta will be available on May 19, 2023.

Rotten City Edits presents a rework of the song; "El Dragón" by Los Brujos, a legendary Argentine band of the so-called "Nuevo Rock Argentino", a movement of aesthetic freedom and new cultural coordinates that occurred in the early 90s. Los Brujos, produced by the enigmatic and eclectic figure of Daniel Melero, have been an icon of the psychedelic sound and the Argentine new wave. This edit by A.Y.Y.V. infiltrates contemporary clubs with a small piece of music history articulated in an energetic, brilliant and lysergic electronic work.



A.Y.Y.V. are the acronyms of Alalwa (Alvaro Soto) and Yerno Vil (Pedro Cerván Lacunza), DJs, event promoters and music producers united in the creation of a live electronic music duo. Its sound aesthetic crosses the genetics between cosmic disco, acid house and indie dance, in an amalgamation of analog textures, digital percussions and samples that constantly mutate, crossed at all times by acidic and lysergic bass lines.

The group is formed in the center of Madrid, upon the arrival of Yerno Vil from Buenos Aires; DJ and music producer, his italo/dark disco gene is transfused with the acid house psycho trip imprint present in the DJ sets of Alalwa, resident DJ at Ballesta Club, Radio Phoenix and Intruso Club, music producer and event promoter.

Since the end of 2023, they have been developing music composed exclusively with
rhythm machines, samplers, and synthesizers without the presence of a computer and performing live in live and DJ formats.
