What does it mean to be human? 

Forever curious and explorative, Dominik Petzold is a wanderer between the worlds. His vast sphere of studies ranging from natural sciences to consciousness and spirituality are flowing together in complex and playful music.

His organically evolving tracks often incorporate handmade field recordings that carry very personal memories. They will take you on a transformative journey, both inwardly and through movement and dance. Though eclectic and rarely repetitive, his music is always centered around captivating melodies and a vibrant pulse. It is creating a wide-open space where matter and energy meld, where head and heart finally agree.

Dominik Petzold - Plant Intelligence

Multi Culti’s lucid-lifestyle dreamer Peter Power takes us on a free-wheeling trip to the motherland on AFRO DAMBA.

The Irish-born Voodoohop resident has returned from the jungles of Bahia with a fresh ep of primal party tracks sampling voices and rhythms from across Africa and it’s neighbouring islands, producing what is easily his most club-oriented work to date. Whereas his tracks for Voodoohop were spiritual flute-heart-openers, these are neo-pagan mating-ritual floor-fillers. The rhythm is set to tribal chug, with rollicking percussion, reverb-soaked vocals, and all the fun jangly bells & bits you expect to be hanging off such a well-traveled producer.

If that weren’t enough, we enlisted Romanian-dance-duo Khidja to double-down and remix both Adama Waro and Dansakoni (available as a digital-exclusive). Resident mix-lord Dreems also weighs in with a subtle remix of Dansakoni, gently upping the tempo and tweaking the knobs in selfless service of the original groove.

We celebrate two years of Shika Shika with the release of our third compilation: Eco. 

Eco sums up what Shika Shika is about - the global reverberations of styles, genres, traditions and sounds moving around the world and fusing to create inspiring new music. We call it music without borders and on Eco we present 11 tracks that are exactly that. 

The tracks we hand-picked for Eco draw inspiration from traditional rhythms, stories and melodies and fuse them with individual inspirations, sounds from nature and electronic music. This is exemplified on Di Laif’s anthemic opener “Paso Por el Fuego” or Guazú’s incredible “Pava de Monte” featuring Wenceslada. Some artists like Jin Jerei and Oxhalá take us on a journey deep into their roots while others like Didacte and O.R. create atmospheric textural, electronic-organic soundscapes. Ibu Selva’s “Chega de Esperar” is a rework of a Brazilian agrarian reform anthem while Klik & Frik offer up a beautiful edit of Hassan Ben Jaafar, a master of Moroccan Gnawa music. 

It is hard to believe it has been two years since Shika Shika was started as a platform to showcase some of the music we truly loved from the thriving community from Sao Paulo to Seoul. Two years of connections, exchanges, ideas, new sounds and, most of all, incredible support and feedback from the people who listen & buy this music all over the world. We started Shika Shika as a way to give exposure and support to this community, sharing 70% of all the profits with the artists directly, and are inspired to continue pushing the music we love. 

Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far. We all appreciate it dearly. 

¡Here’s to labels without owners for music without borders!

Shika Shika Presents: Eco

Ohxalá - The Laibon Dance

What is the Background Story? 
In January 2018 Love Foundation went on its first Tournee in Brasil, among others due to our friends from @Sonidotropico. @meraki4 we already met in Summer 2017 in Greece and @gerragmusic we met during the LF party in Curitiba, where he did an amazing music production class. We started talking and when we discovered that the two of them made a track together, we knew this is the perfect track to take back to Europe with us. 

How was the track created? 
Gerra is a big fan of Lucas Santanna and when Pedro aka Meraki visited him once in Curitiba they were playing around with some of Lucas samples and this track is the result. The name of the track symbolizes what Gerra and Pedro were feeling that time. They loved the sample from the first listen and wanted to hold it forever.

Where does the money go?
You can purchase the track here https://gerragmusic.bandcamp.com/track/gerra-g-meraki-hold-me-lucas-santanna-tribute-edit
100% of the income from this track will go to Love Foundation. Love Foundation will use this money for its water development project in Kenia and you can read all about the project here: www.love-foundation.org/about

Alma Linda & El Mago - La Loba

@da-iguana is a beat-loving bearded reptile mixing roots, genres and styles from 60 to 140 BPM with open-mindness & passion.

This track started with a loud arpeggio, trance-like feeling, but I got bored of it at some point, so I kept the arpeggio aside, changed the bass line and added some cumbia punch to it. I imagined and sound designed the intro as if you were standing or seating at your porch in the countryside, by a warm summer night, full of sound. And there you hear the dogs of the neighboring farm barking loud at something. You feel something is gonna happen, you hear footsteps... And then boom, you meet Cumbia. Not the original Cumbia sound, but a sneaky-bassy power Cumbia, infused with trance and oriental sounds... La Cumbia ne préviens pas!

Cosmovision Records presents ¨Elements of These Lands¨

We started as a group of music producers in Montréal, immigrants from Latin America, Europe and friends from Canada, we wanted to reinterpret the elements of this land, from North America such as: nature, native cultures, artistic forms and others. This woke a great interest from artists from all over the world, thing that finally lead to our compilation ¨Element of These Lands¨, in plural, adding a big tribe of friends from all over the world which today are part of our artistic essence, a multi cultural collective.

Our proposal is to make music that evokes respect and consciousness about nature, which understand our cultural differences as a great value for us. We look to go beyond the act of pushing buttons to create digital music, on the other side, we want to inspire ourselves as a collective and invite to reflect about the elements of our land, elements that sometimes western culture forgets, but through art we can analyze, reinterpret and value.

Our first compilation has cultural influences from: Canada, Mexico, France, Chile, Turkey, Belgium, Colombia, Lebanon, Switzerland, Italy and Argentina. 
We want to thank all the producers evolved in this compilation and our artist Mathieu Bories, visual genius of our collective; also everyone who have believed in us and never forgetting you, the people who download and share these voices which are echoes from the land itself, that through artists sing to us to generate awareness of our roots and the elements of our land.

Da Iguana - Cuando Andas Por La Noche Y La Cumbia Te Rompe La Cara

When Silvio Astier released his „Pampa“ EP on Boomarm Nation some months ago I instantly fell in love with his melodic guitars and afroargentinian chants. He kindly allowed me to remix „Nacion Candombe“.

Once again we invited the Scottish Folk, Blues, Electronica mastermind KUSHT to craft a new release with us and voila!

We are proud to present the album "KUSHT - Master".

The "Master" album tells the strange stories of our unlikely practices and beliefs. It touches with a playful tongue & cheek manner on our history with fraudsters, believers and those whom pioneer the strange arts.

Powering beats and catching melodies, soaring guitars and heavily distorted synths with weird hooks to catch in your mouth will pull you to explore the many layers and meanings of this album. With tales of fraudsters, fortune tellers, hypnosis and deceit. Sit back and enjoy this magic carpet ride.

KUSHT - Punk The Youth & Take A Magic Carpet Ride

DADA speaks - in this episode gentle and fully secured in the hands of legendary malic singer Ali Farka Touré. He wrote the track 'Savane', that can be found on his 2006 recorded, same-named studio-album - third and final part of the Hotel Mandé Sessions from Bamako. The original song has carried us through years by now and together with our close associate Okawa, we set this beauty on the road once more, powdered with some reciproke smothness.
Eat and be eaten.
