Pullin from the Stacks - Episode 130 (Guest set from J. Rawls)

We are delighted to premiere,  "Goyo Tuyero", a brand new song from Venezuelan avant-garde folk outfit, Insólito UniVerso, completed during the recent lockdown.  Officially to be released digitally on July 21st, but available from today as a Bandcamp exclusive, alongside "Jota", via Olindo Records.

On their 2018 Olindo Records debut, “La Candela del Río”, Paris-based quartet Insólito UniVerso took inspiration from a wide range of sources, from psychedelic folk & electronic experimentation, to traditional Latin American music, particularly through the rhythms and instruments of Venezuelan folklore. Mixed by The Heliocentrics’ Malcolm Catto and Fumaça Preta’s Alex Figueira, the album was hailed far and wide, championed by Bandcamp Weekly and shortlisted for Best Group of the year in the 2020 Songline Awards.

“Goyo Tuyero'' is a whirlwind of keyboards, synths and maracas. It transforms keyboardist Edgar Bonilla’s transcription of a phone recording he made many years ago of legendary Venezuelan harpist José Gregorio (Goyo) López playing a fantastic & otherworldly composition of his own at an intimate family gathering. Written in the style of a joropo tuyero rhythm from central Venezuela, Goyo Lopez was drawn to its distinctive character, which differentiates it from the joropo llanero of the plains where he was born and raised. Far from simply replicating the style, López jumps unexpectedly out of harmony, giving the sensation of being thrown into outer space. This exact feeling is emphasized in this version adapted for keyboards by adding synths, whilst Andrés Sequera supplies maracas with an added sting.

Debbie talks with Maurice Cherry about his education and career, and about why the profession of graphic design has been so slow to acknowledge Black designers. “Black people were barely free 100 years ago so certainly they weren’t thinking about being graphic designers.”

SHHE is the alter-ego of Scottish-Portuguese artist and producer Su Shaw. Her latest self-titled debut album tracks a period of intense personal change. The resulting record is a sparse, haunting and atmospheric journey of introspection and exploration of identity that demonstrates SHHE’s ability to capture movement, change and the light and darkness that haunt the human condition.

@shhemusic "A selection of tracks that have been in my ears over the last few months. Some discovered some time ago, some found or rediscovered only recently, all have been good company during these strange(r) times. Some tracks chosen that alter and change pace, some that shift perceptions of time, others that are a reminder to slow it all down. Long live the long form. Thanks for listening."

South African artist/beatmaker Spoek Mathambo’s latest project is his meditation on the healing properties of bass, having used stripped down bass dubs as therapy during the most strenuous parts of 2020. The title, Hikikomori Blue refers to the Hikikomori social phenomenon of modern-day hermits  (Japanese: ひきこもり or 引きこもり, lit. "pulling inward, being confined"). 

Spoek Mathambo is a South African artist, musician, songwriter & filmmaker. With four critically acclaimed solo albums in his catalogue,  not to mention his collaborative band projects Fantasma and Batuk, and a documentary on SA electronic music (Future Sound of Mzansi), Spoek Mathambo is a prolific creative, showcasing and stretching the limits of electronic music and hip hop.

With Hikikomori Blue, Mathambo boldly strips away the 4/4 beats he’s known for and focuses on the polyrhythmic funk of gnawa gimbri and the belly rattling swing of dub bass. With less focus on the bassdrum, Mathambo keeps time with nimble percussion. The songs are a unique form of the blues, where Spoek Mathambo takes a wry look at matters of the heart, with irreverent rap verses about love gained and love lost.
