Eck Echo presents the first LP record entry in its catalogue with ROCAFUERTE by Ecuadorian producer QUIXOSIS.

Named after a street in the historic center of Quito, ROCAFUERTE paints an anachronic and anatopic picture of voyages between Latin America and Europe, set to a multitude of beats ranging from trip hop and reggaeton to juke and UK Garage, which the artist uncompromisingly blends with nostalgic samples of Italian chanson and Southamerican folk, warped through the magic of his trusted tape machine - a historical debt to the record collection of his great-grandfather.

Quixosis - Rocafuerte

From the outback of Brazil to the favelas of Adelaide, Xanga hurls bolts of lightning at the people chosen to be his followers, leaving behind imprints of stone axe blades on the Earth's crust. 
With a collection of ambulant drum patterns and raw junk-box rhythms Xanga set the mood for a party. A real party. Forget the deep basslines and moody melodics for a second and put yourself in the hands of these propitious shamans of movement. 
Baile funk saw its rise in the international spotlight around the mid 2000's. It then faded back into the shadows not too long after... what we tend to forget that it still existed and continued to thrive, grow and develop in its homelands and even abroad…. This is where it is at now - the energy is still the same but the ideas are forward thinking whilst still honest to their roots - the roots of the party and the people that built it.

Why not slow down old school minimal and add a cumbia rhythm - I'm ok, how are you?
10 years ago, '10 years ago' sounded different, back then it was 2007. Now we're talking about 2007 – The minimal era. This is an homage to '07, a slowed down track, down pitched from 127 bpm to 98 bpm and an added cumbia rhythm...enjoy!

Ambivalent - R U OK (Kraut's Minimal Cumbia Version)

Pigmalião is moving forward in his musical direction and sound, this release really shows where he is and is going. The tracks Aurora and Baskéda are ever moving sounds of energy sure to a dark basement but keeping the originality Pigmalião always has making his tracks stand out in the constant traffic of electronic music being released. Zingili is another great example of his always great sample selection taking you on a Fifth Element style mechanical beats journey to a distant planet's civilisation and the final track Bahiafro takes the album down in energy to a slower tempo but hauntingly beautiful, like that long slow journey back to Earth with the memories of the amazing adventure you have just been on.

Vitu Valera - Duende Come

On side-A, Nicola Cruz tracks Apnea and Marea blend dembow and soca rhythms with modular music, leaving space for these harmonics to create dance patterns. Both are a duality of ideas that have travelled across the oceans, from Africa to South America, and back, reinforcing the idea of accentuation in music, rather than the usual straight forward dance structure. These are songs that evoke a primitive feeling, crafted on a contemporary head.

On side-B, Pigmalião tracks B2 and Ocrânimo explore acid lines and syncopated rhythms for darker dance floor environments in distinct BPMs sealing a proper b-side storytelling for the release.

Zistwar Fer Per gets a new groove from @krautmusica!

Haunted by the ternary rhythms of the band from Mauritius, Babani Soundsystem, Kraut adds his unique electronic touch to turn this track into a dancefloor masterpiece. KR∆UT is the moniker of Amsterdam’s household name Daniel Zuur. With this alter ego he’s bound to bring his audience a flux of world music influenced electronica, different tempo’s and lots of percussion. Daniel has developed an exceptional rhythm and sound that no label will do justice. 

Babani Soundsystem defends a sound that blends Indian Ocean’s traditional rhythms and new electronic influences. The track title translated from Mauritian Creole, “Spooky stories”, evokes the island’s urban legends about night creatures in children tales. It also metaphorically describes night gatherings where spirits are awoken by the sound of traditional percussions. The latter are omnipresent, driven by a bewitching bassline and complemented by obscure synths. This pack includes remixes from Alma Negra featuring Celine Huber and Sunken Cages.

Babani Soundsystem is a Mauritius-based band defending a sound that blends Indian Ocean’s traditional rhythms and new electronic influences.

This collective of DJ, musicians and producers showcases a unique rendition of its island’s groove. On stage, Babani Soundsystem is a ceremony, a haunting audio-visual journey blending electronic sounds and organic rhythms.

[PREMIERE] Babani Soundsystem - Zistwar Fer Per (Kraut Remix)

El Rito - @djraff
La atmósfera de El Rito es hipnótica y percutiva. Se pueden identificar sonoridades de distintos lugares del mundo como samples de música hindú de los 60, percusiones afrolatinas, melodías y capas con sintetizadores que caracterizan el sonido de DJ Raff. El beat, creado con un drum machine y generadores de ruido filtrados y secuenciados, evoca el ritmo jaimaquino del dembow.

El arte de la portada y el trabajo visual sobre la música estuvo a cargo del diseñador y artista visual chileno DMNC (Francisco Meneses), quien se inspiró en la Apacheta, ofrenda que realizan los pueblos originarios de los Andes de América del Sur a la Pachamama u otras deidades, y que consiste en crear montículos de piedras colocadas en forma cónica una sobre otra. Estas ofrendas, se encuentran generalmente en las cuestas difíciles de los caminos.

DJ Raff sobre El Rito:

"He estado componiendo canciones con un eje central repetitivo y monótono, dándole siempre un pequeño giro armónico pero casi disonante al finalizar el loop, esto con el fin de crear una especie de período con un comienzo y final de tensión. A esta columna vertebral percutiva e hipnótica, le agrego algunas melodías casi siempre sobre acordes menores que me producen una especie de nostalgia pero a la vez calidez. Compuse El Rito pensando en ese trance que puede demandar esfuerzo físico, puede ser doloroso incluso, pero al final abre la cabeza y te lleva a un lugar desconocido hasta ese momento."

DMNC sobre El Rito:

"Me inspire en la Apacheta, me pareció interesante abordar lo sagrado con algo tan común como una piedra. Además el tema en sí es algo bien tribal y me genera este sentimiento ancestral. En algún punto el tema deja entrever los paisajes extensos del altiplano y lo onírico de una cultura ancestral. Me pareció interesante abordar un espacio silvestre y darle movimiento a algo que en un contexto real está quieto como es la naturaleza.

Las materialidades son claves al momento de desarrollar esta pieza gráfica tan sensible y armónica, los elementos naturales poseen esa sensibilidad que logra conectar con las personas de una forma más personal como es el sol, la naturaleza o el agua."

In defiance to their creator, Luz y Fer can be seen walking down cobblestone streets humming along to this beautiful tune.
