In the vast, deep forests of history, long have the inhabitants of Earth
sought connection with nature and other forms of life on this planet.
Though humanity’s chapter within this greater story has been short,
their innate ability to form this link through increasingly inventive
means has lead to the development of exotic tools, complex
languages, and a colorful web of cultures that in just a few millennia
has come to span the entire surface of the globe.

Within this elaborate web, there are artists like Jakare: an electro-
folkloric duo that wields the emotional language of music as a tool for
exploring the endless frontiers of the human experience. Their
upcoming release — ‘Apu Remixes‘ — continues in their musical
tradition of blending Old- and New-world instrumentation with modern
production techniques by inviting five musical visionaries from the
electronic world to partake in the celebrated ritual of remixing,
beginning with deep tribal producer and Resueño label head
Mose.

Leading off the collection with a stirring rendition of Jakare’s
ceremonial “Cleansing,” Mose’s remix quickly draws listeners into a
landscape colored by downtempo atmospheres and fueled by a
holographic collection of synths, beats, samples, and cleverly-woven
instrumental sequences. Rooted in both acoustic and electronic
components to provide a rising and falling emotional tale, the track
plays true to Mose’s intention of crafting musical journeys and teases
the essence of the greater collection by showcasing the versatility of
“organic house” and its numerous global influences.

Tapping into the vital root of global electronic music as it dances to the steady beat of technology and moves to the rhythms of a much older, ancestral current, Italian producers Lo.Renzo and Halfred have spent the last two years working together under the banner of electro-folkloric duo Jakare to explore humankind’s essential drive to connect and merge with the surrounding world. 

Their first release off 2021— ‘Apu Remixes‘ — continues in their signature style of blending Old- and New-world instrumentation with modern production techniques by inviting five musical visionaries from the electronic world to partake in the celebrated ritual of remixing their debut 2019 EP, ‘Apu.‘

Deep tribal producer and Resueño label head Mose leads off the collection with a stirring rendition of Jakare’s ceremonial “Cleansing,” drawing listeners into a landscape colored by downtempo atmospheres and fueled by a holographic collection of synths, beats, samples, and cleverly-woven instrumental sequences. Known for his own fusion of worldly and electronic influences, Beatfarmer’s “Globall” remix provides an upbeat and groovy entry to the EP while Ancestral Elephants seizes on the same track for an organic side quest that speaks to the versatility of Jakare’s original instrumental compositions. Gibson — known by many for his tech bass production work as part of Birds of Paradise — offers a fiery electronic mid-tempo revision of “Glass Temple,” and closing the EP on a genre-bending mixture of organic DnB and slow house, Columbian producer Marcelo Berges shines light on the intersection between folk and global electronica in his “Moon Howl” remix.

At once ephemeral and steady; passionate and tranquilizing; soulful and uplifting, Jakare’s ‘Apu Remixes‘ is a potent glimpse into one of the endless ways our species connects with the surrounding world. Though music is intrinsically fleeting, the experiences and connections it can create are unbound by time and space, offering listeners and creators alike the power to see the world through another’s eye’s and gaze into the endlessly unfolding tale of life on the spinning globe we all call home.

When I first heard this track in the middle of the first lockdown, i instantly heard the support sounds that I could offer this prayer.

Culturally isolated in my home town, I took to the internet connecting with my favorite artists around the globe.

Contacting Ape, he was happy to provide the stems from the original recording.

And so the Amoriri - Tribal Bass Mix was completed through remote collaboration from Sth America to Australia.

A deep honour to work with you Ape Chimba and Ebyän.

A New Vision - Invocation (With Darpan)

As we stepped out of the magical forest, we found out some vibes were still there.

This is how Silva, our new single, was brought to life.

Enjoy the sounds of the forest and find yourself dancing while you're being cuddled by those melodies and rhythm.
