Mara Aranda: the undisputed voice of the Mediterranean has become one of the most highly acclaimed names on the 21st Century Spanish music scene. Since 1995 she has toured many parts of the world, performing across Europe, in Morocco and in China , a broad repertoire of traditional song, Sephardic music and original compositions.

For two decades she has researched and sung Turkish, Greek and Occitan music; early, mediaeval and Sephardic song. Her legacy to date includes some 20 albums, much-deserved music awards, and praise from the public and the critics alike.

Mara has worked with such well-known groups as Speculum Ensemble, Oni Wytars and Ensemble Unicorn. Of particular note is her recent work with the group Capella de Ministrers, and their joint albums Els Viatges de Tirant lo Blanch, El Ciclo de la Vida, La Cité des Dames, and her latest Judeo-Spanish production, recorded live at the Palau de la Musica in Valencia, La Música Encerrada: Sefarad.

Mara Aranda’s work revolves around the Mediterranean tradition; she has brought a language and beliefs to the world. Never was this more true than with the release of the album Deria (Gallileo-mc, 2009): Ufi’s Independent Music Awards Best World Music Album 2009, and voted Best Album on Catalan Radio’s Hidrògen programme. It was also the most noted Spanish World Music production of 2009; in the World Music Charts Europe Top Ten for four straight months; and the only Spanish group to be mentioned in the Charts’ annual line up. On top of all that, the album was voted Ovidi Montllor Awards Best Folk Album 2009 as well as being nominated for the best lyrics and best arrangement categories. The new album Lo Testament (Bureo Musiques, 2013) is just as convincing as Deria, being nominated for the Ovidi Montllor Awards Best Folk Album 2013 just hours after being released.
In the spring of 2015 'Mare Vostrum' will be release the work that celebrates the 25 year of career of Mara Aranda .

The Italian-German composer, DJ and founder of the record label 99CHANTS. He has been releasing music since 2010, but it took self- evaluation and a re-examination of his priorities for August to lean towards the future and follow his most experimental inclinations.
In 2023, his output is harder than ever to define, stretching across genres and disciplines to chafe the heart of the human experience.

Sound & Color – the follow-up to Alabama Shakes’ Gold-certified debut album, Boys & Girls, which earned the group three GRAMMY® nominations, including a nod for Best New Artist – will be released in North America on April 21 by ATO Records. Rough Trade will release the album in the UK/Europe on April 20. 

Sound & Color demonstrates the tremendous strides made by Alabama Shakes since the release of 2012’s Boys & Girls. From the gently swaying, chiming title song to the garage-rock freak-out on “The Greatest” to the psychedelic space jam “Gemini,” Alabama Shakes build on the soulful blues-rock base and map a surprising, innovative new direction. 

“We took our time to write this record, and I’m really glad we did,” says lead singer/guitarist Brittany Howard. “We were able to sit down and think about what’s exciting to us. This record is full of genre-bending songs.”

Sound & Color was recorded at Nashville’s Sound Emporium studio. The band co-produced the album with Blake Mills—a young guitar wizard who has helmed sessions by Sara Watkins and Sky Ferreira, and played alongside everyone from Norah Jones and the Dixie Chicks to Lana Del Ray and Kid Rock. 

The success of Boys & Girls paved the way for Alabama Shakes – comprising lead singer/guitarist Brittany Howard, guitarist Heath Fogg, bassist Zac Cockrell, drummer Steve Johnson, and touring keyboard players Ben Tanner and Paul Horton – to become one of the most celebrated live acts in the world, as they delivered unforgettable performances everywhere from “Saturday Night Live” to the main stages of festivals like Bonnaroo and Glastonbury. Boys & Girls charted in the Top 10 in both the U.S. and the U.K. and "Hold On," the Gold-certified lead single, was voted the #1 Best Song of 2012 by Rolling Stone.


Challenging the fine line between music-making and story-telling, the Spanish duo of Reykjavik 606 have quite a few tales to tell. Grasping the audience with an unrestricted blend of sounds, shifting through ambient, downtempo and cinematic house, their ways with music push the boundaries of what is and what can be. Its masterminds, Kino Internacional and Borja Piñeiro, have a taste for the eclectic, get their kicks from tool-kit experiments and continue to enamor many a music-loving soul with a genre-bending mix of audio and visual. With unique live shows at Mutek Festival, Nokodek and Sonora, along with the critically acclaimed release of their ‘From..To…’ LP on Sofa Tunes, future invites Reykjavik 606 to share their story.  Childhood friends with a life-long obsession for music and the technology behind it all. Underlining both their talents, Borja studied percussion, while Kino mastered the piano and became one of the lucky few selected for the Red Bull Music Academy Bass Camp in 2013. Combining expertise and vision, they found the perfect balance in Reyjavik 606. United in differences, they equally share the musical process of creating tracks, remixes and sets. With releases on Sofa Tunes and Soulles Lab, remixes for Talkome, Ioan Gamboa, BeatLove and Wesphere, as well as their ‘From..To…’ LP being nominated for Album of the Year in highly regarded dance magazines like DJ Mag and Clubbing Spain, they’ve started to claim ground and make their narcotic rhythms and organic beats thrive.   Crafting an ethereal and atmospheric vibe, the musical chronicles of Reykjavik 606 are constantly morphing, telling the crowds of an emotional state of consciousness. In full control of their digital and analog hardware equipment, witnessing one of their sets is a monumental experience – one that will stick with you for a long time. Their story is one to be continued, so we’re about to find out what the future beholds.
