The new concept EP of Daniel Monaco is the story of a group of friends who have ventured on a mysterious Island with the only mission to enter its infamous Reptilian Club. The tracks are a mix of Disco, Tropical and Dub an obscure psychedelic trip performed and recorded live at Daniel’s studio, but the adventure is not over yet because Enter The Island is not only a long trip into a mystical place is actually also a Board Game for two to four players. The idea was born during the first lockdown. Due the big crisis brought by Covid-19 there were no chances to print vinyl for this EP therefore Daniel thought to design a game made exclusively for this concept, its rules are unique as well as its design reflecting perfectly the spirit of the music.

Alessandro Rosa is the artist who made the design, the BoardGame is the same size of a Vinyl cover made with Forex printed white on black. An unprecedented concept unique in its genre a the creative reaction against hard times.

Daniel Monaco -  Reptilian

Daniel Monaco -  Swamp Monster

Bandua takes the centuries-old, traditional music from the Beira Baixa region of Portugal, and re-imagines it with an electronic folk reinterpretation. Conceived by Portuguese/Brazilian musician, sound-explorer and eclectic producer Tempura (Bernardo D'Addario) and Portuguese singer and all-round musician Edgar Valente,

Bandua's new single is filled with a gentle beat, soft pads and Edgar Valente's gentle vocal tapestry, ‘Cinco Sentidos’ (Five Senses) is a traditional love song from the village of Benquerenças de Baixo that has been sung for generations in which the singer compares his love to losing all of their bodily senses.

[FRE017] Bandua - Cinco Sentidos

Bandua takes the centuries-old, traditional music from the Beira Baixa region of Portugal, and re-imagines it with an electronic folk reinterpretation. Conceived by Portuguese/Brazilian musician, sound-explorer and eclectic producer Tempura (Bernardo D'Addario) and Portuguese singer and all-round musician Edgar Valente, Bandua represents the first time that these sounds and songs have been repurposed as a melancholic, Portuguese-language electronic pop record.

Influenced by pagan and Moorish traditions, Beira Baixa is a central region of Portugal steeped in ancient culture with a rugged, hyper-regionalised history of folk music. With both artists having roots in the region, it felt right for them to collaborate and produce this love-letter to their homes. “Bandua is a reinterpretation of traditional Portuguese songs from the Beira Baixa region, bringing them into the modern world,” explains Tempura “we wanted to create something new, while not forgetting where we came from.”

Through Bandua, this ancient tradition of story-telling through percussive, multi-toned music will now find a new generation of listeners, thanks to Tempura and Edgar Valente.
