Fat Freddy's Drop’s pirate soul train, resolutely independent, worldwide.

Formed in 1999 in Wellington, New Zealand our sound draws inspiration from almost every part of the black music lexicon. Soul drenched vocals and jazz harmonies collide with tape delays and echo chambers, underpinned by a rhythm section as comfortable laying down a throbbing, techy soundscape as they are a swampy blues stomp.

love to like and repost good psytrance

Criolo; MC, singer, songwriter, released his album “Nó na Orelha” (Knot in the Ear) in May 2011. Produced by Daniel Ganjaman, known for his work with artists such as Nação Zumbi and the late Sabotage, and Marcelo Cabral, a pre-eminent musician of the new generation in Brazil, all tracks were composed and written by Criolo.

“Nó na Orelha” was initially available in Brazil as a free download and only commercially released on CD and vinyl in June 2012, when it also gained its first international exposure via the London-based label, Sterns Music.

Since the release of the album it has received over a dozen awards, both inside and outside of Brazil and Criolo has performed at over 200 shows within Brazil alone. In 2012 he toured internationally and visited 11 countries where his concerts were attended by crowds of all ages. These included the Roskilde Festival in Denmark and the Summer Stage Festival in New York’s Central Park.

The success of “Nó na Orelha” has led Criolo to share the stage with Caetano Veloso, Seu Jorge and the fado singer Ana Moura. In London he collaborated with the Ethio-Jazz icon Mulatu Astatke. Homage has been paid by Chico Buarque, and Criolo was interviewed by Spike Lee for the documentary “Go, Brazil, Go”. During one of the performances of “Nó na Orelha” in Rio de Janeiro, Ney Matogrosso took the stage to duet on the song “Freguês da Meia-Noite”, written by Criolo and to be recorded by Ney for his next album.

In 2013, his whole show “Nó na Orelha – Live at Circo Voador” was filmed in Rio de Janeiro and released as a ‘pay-as-you-like’ download. The DVD and CD “Criolo and Emicida – Live”, directed by Andrucha Waddington, Paula Lavigne and Ricardo Della Rosa, was also released in 2013.

In October 2013, the single “Duas de Cinco” was released digitally and on 12 inch vinyl in Brazil. It contains two new tracks, again produced by Daniel Ganjaman and Marcelo Cabral. A video featuring the lyrics of the first track “Duas de Cinco” has been produced by the project’s art director, Ricardo Fernandes, and is available on YouTube.

It’s classic rap over a sampled beat, with dense verses that feature a bold critique of contemporary Brazil. The chorus, taken from the song “Califórnia Azul” by Rodrigo Campos, a Brazilian artist of the same generation as Criolo, was the starting point for both lyrics and beats.

With the addition of Thomas Rohrer on the rabeca, the traditional violin from the north of Brazil, the B-side of the single, “Coccix-ência”, was recorded live in the El Rocha Studio by the superb musicians that have been Criolo’s backing band for the past two years. These two new songs, together with material from his 2006 release “Ainda Há Tempo” are now part of the repertoire of Criolo’s live shows.

On stage, Criolo performs alongside the producers Daniel Ganjaman (keyboards and electronic programming), who is also the musical director of the show, and Marcelo Cabral (acoustic and electric bass). The musicians Guilherme Held (guitar), Maurício Badé (percussion), Sérgio Machado (drums) and ‘loyal servant’ DJ Dan Dan (vocals and turntables) complete the line-up. - See more at: http://criolo.net

TimeSphere (Origens Gathering)
Release:
Playing together since 2008, Cássio & Bruna are known for exploiting the seriousness of the nocturnal sounds, but were also influenced by some progressive old school producers. After having performed at major festivals and parties such as Universo Paralello , Zuvuya, Festival Mundo de Oz, Origens  Gathering, Psybu, Earthdance Festival. They decided to dedicate themselves to study and produce their own songs with TimeSphere project, the main characteristic is rescuing the sounds of progressive old school, with elaborate ambiences, hypnotic melodies, organic percussions with a  groovy and striking bassline.

Discotecando juntos desde 2008, Cássio  & Bruna são conhecidos por explorar a seriedade dos timbres noturnos, mas também foram influenciados por alguns produtores de progressivo diurno old school . Após terem se apresentado em grandes festivais e festas como Universo Paralello, Zuvuya, Festival Mundo de Oz, Origens Gathering, Psybu, Earthdance Festival. Resolveram se dedicar a estudar e produzir suas próprias músicas com o projeto TimeSphere, que tem como característica principal o resgate das sonoridades  do progressivo old school  podendo transitar ao progressive dark , fazendo com que cada apresentação  seja única, possui ambiências bem elaboradas, sínteses e melodias hipnóticas, percussões orgânicas, com uma linha de baixo grooveada e marcante.

A dash of night with a pinch of wobble, seasoned with a light sprinkling of harmonics, whisked for 30 mins in a cosmic blender..

Taking influences from groovy night, and forest trance, James manages to weave a story which twists and turns through many moods and feelings, giving the listener a satisfying ride with his chunky bass, funky rhythms, and complex textures. Encompassing many ideas, and not being tied to any specific sound, Sprocket is a cacophony of ideas, polished off with cheeky structure and clever percussion.

Background:

James has been heavily involved in the UK psytrance scene since 2006 as both a DJ and producer - mixing many different styles throughout this time. Finally, after working hard in the studio to take that extra step and produce his own style and sounds, James took on the name 'Sprocket' for his musical productions, and has since been working hard, traveling around much of Europe to play his well received live sets at festivals such as Momento Demento, Ozora, Tangra, Cosmo and, as a DJ, Freqs of Nature. James has re-focused his DJ sets onto both dark (but groovy!) progressive, and forest, which are always delivered with the same captivating energy and passion people have come to love from him. From this he has now been signed to Zenon Records and is looking forward to continuing to share this diverse and forward thinking style of music across the globe.
