I’d write down dreams in my notebook, not really serious stuff. I’m just searching for sunshine when the world isn’t bright enough

Lines In My Notebook

The São Paulo based collective, Sonido Trópico, have long been establishing themselves as a new voice to be heard within the latin-american scene.

They now take a big step forward in founding a Label. Their first official release, SONIDO TRÓPICO VOL. 1, contains 13 tracks that put into waves exactly what Sonido Trópico is all about. The Producers and DJs who's work appear on this first album have not only played at Sonido Trópico's already infamous parties, but have worked alongside Sonido's 4 Resident DJs (Spaniol, Nirso, Salvador Araguaya & El Peche) in bringing new life and energy to the Sâo Paulo scene. Together they have reinterpreted and expanded, beyond precedent, the horizons of electronic music within the ultra-creative scene in São Paulo.

Há tempo que a Sonido Trópico vem se estabelecendo como uma das novas vozes dentro da nova cena latino-americana.

Agora tomamos um grande passo. Fundamos um Selo de música com o lançamento de nossa primeira compilação, SONIDO TRÓPICO VOL. I, com 13 músicas dedicatórias a o que é a Sonido Trópico. Os produtores que compuseram esta coletânea, não somente tocaram em nossas festas, mas moldaram a nossa construção através de suas músicas e interações com os nossos DJs. Juntos expandimos, de forma sem precedentes, os horizontes da musica eletrônica existente na cena underground paulistana.

Tem MUITO mais por vir!

Nirso - Mi Mascara

It was a little over a year ago and my life was in the midst of changing. I had dropped out of college and taken a job at a new company. The uncertainty had crippled me creatively, and the things that had comforted me throughout my life were no longer doing so. I needed to evolve, but I did not yet grasp how true that was.

Once my friends got back from Burning Man and I was surrounded by their stories, energy, and creativity, I realized that I had become a cynic and a passive consumer of the culture around me. Everyone's desire to make and share inspired me to create and participate again.

The music that my friends shared particularly spoke to me. This music was inspired by global sounds - it took me out of the concrete prison I'd worked so hard to put myself in. The cultural isomorphisms of the rhythms, melodies, and instruments helped me realize how much bigger the world is. I saw the connection between eastern and latin sounds and finally saw my blood, my upbringing as a strength and not a disadvantage for the first time.

At that point, I began making music again.

I've taken a rather unorthodox approach to sharing it, however. Rather than disseminating songs on the internet, I've worked closely with friends to curate shared experiences. These include a midnight set for a small room of people during Wolf moon blizzard, organizing an intimate DIY festival at a farm with all my best friends, and DJing in a remote beach on the north shore of Oahu. My only desire is to contribute to my life and others in an active way.

And, although I mostly keep the few songs I make to myself (and a small group of friends), I now wish to share some with more people. Here is the fruit of that wish: two songs, "Lost In Translation."

I look forward to making the Black Rock City pilgrimage in a few weeks and find new life yet again...

Lost In Translation

Lost In Translation (Original Mix)

Adiós Morena is the first single off of Afro-Pacific super group, Rio Mira's forthcoming album, Marimba del Pacifico. Composed by Esteban Copete, the single also features remixes by Nicola Cruz, Kaleema & Chancha Via Circuito, Midnight Ravers and M. RUX. 

In 2015, UNESCO added the marimba to its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, observing that "Marimba music and traditional chants and dances are musical expressions integral to the family and community fabric of people of African descent in the Colombian South Pacific region and Esmeraldas Province of Ecuador." 

In celebration of this cultural heritage, and with a main goal of creating an intergenerational meeting between the sounds of Afro music from the Pacific, Rio Mira was founded. The project has a fundamental mission of revitalizing and strengthening bonds between the members of the Afro community from each side of the Colombia-Ecuador border. 

Rio Mira is co-produced by Ivis Flies (Co-Director and Creator of the musical and social heritage recovery Project "De Taitas y Mamas", nominated for a Latin Grammy in 2013. "Smile Ambassador" in 2010) and Ivan Benavides (Producer of Carlos Vives, Sidestepper, Chocquibtown, Grammy Winner Gaiteros de San Jacinto) and features a number of well known Cali and Esmeraldeña artists including Esteban Copete and Karla Kanora. Rio Mira's first album, Rio Mira - Marimba del Pacifico, will be released in 2017 on AYA Records.

Rio Mira - Adios Morena

Un primer encuentro poderoso y la belleza de un deseo naciente.
Capulí que nace del ritmo afroecuatoriano Bomba, del Valle del Chota.

An interest in ancestral Latin American cosmology has always run right through the music of Ecuadorian music producer Nicola Cruz. His creative process involves an attentive, careful search for the living roots and rituals that are part of South American identity—its Andean and African origins in particular—valuing its rhythms, its oral traditions, its instruments and the energy they transmit. His first record, Prender el Alma (2015) explored the development of the consciousness and spirituality, and how they connect with music. In Siku, his most recent production, Cruz continues this exploration, expanding his vision towards new stories and other cultures as sources of inspiration. A crucial aspect on this journey is his collaboration with other artists from around the world.

The siku is a wind instrument of Andean origin, highly symbolic in ancestral rituals, made up of two separate, complementary parts, the arca and the ira. It is a representation of duality, an essential element of the indigenous world view, associated with involvement and complementarity, far from the binary thinking typical of western societies. That duality is reflected on this record in the coming together of sounds, whether electronic or organic, past or present, local or global. On Siku, Nicola Cruz combines instruments with symbolic, spiritual connotations, such as the sitar, the siku, and the balafon with hints of electronica. Studies of the samba, cumbia and rhythms of African, Andean and Hindu origin are combined with Cruz’s characteristically unpredictable, mystical style.

El Ritual

el remolón - la bonita

In Asimétrico, El Remolón presents its new sounds. Native acoustics in organic electronic spaces, successful collaborations, instrumental passages, meditative trance and invitation to movement.

After several years of introspection and studio silence, El Remolón is back with a premiere album. Searching within, in chance haphazard and error, the unfinished or simply imperfect sounds , El Remolón elaborates another sonic horizon that requires putting aside already rehearsed formulas, highlighted labels, closed categories. In this inquiry, the artist even abandons his own ways and closed shapes in Asimétrico. An album that maintains the contagious force of its danceable rhythms and at times delves into a more introspective universe, linked to contemplation.

With folkloric elements in minimalist mode and careful organic electronics, Asimétrico delivers ten crisp pieces that feature Andrés Oddone's master touch in the mix. Simple uses of guitars, legüeros bass drums and charangos are interspersed in criollos ( southamerican folk) riffs that are reminiscent of Atahualpa and, when combined with electronic textures, they generate a restorative, meditative and techno atmosphere at the same time. Between the experimental native and the global downtempo, the album features several songs that follow one another as emotional passages. This is where Asimétrico is enriched with the collaborations of Luvi Torres / Klik & Frik, Pol Nada, Lauphan, Nuriah and the revelation of the urban coplero Brawlio. Meanwhile, the collaborations with San Ignacio, Leo Silcan and Cuervo Cuervo  go deep into a more electronic and instrumental facet. The cover and photos are made by @ancherama.
