Esquirlas Vol. II | VV.AA 

En el 2018, bajo la estrategia del caracol que recolecta saberes y espera paciente su momento, iniciamos el catálogo de este netlabel.
Lo hicimos a través de su material fundacional: Esquirlas; un primer compilado que acogía los nombres de aquellos productores de la diáspora Sudamericana que traían consigo la frescura de un sonido emergente, y la energía de una escena revivida a nuevo. Productores que al igual que nosotrxs, también respondían a esa columna del underclub latino, como células de una red de afectos. 
A ellos, les atribuimos un punto de partida: Producir tracks que evoquen sus primeras aproximaciones al ritmo, que reconstruyan un paisaje sonoro, un recuerdo sensorial que haya quedado impreso en su memoria: el estruendo de una fiesta en la calle, el trinar de un pájaro en el río, el pregón de un vendedor ambulante. 
Cinco años después, nos volvemos a reunir bajo esta misma premisa. Muchas cosas han cambiado en nuestros escenarios, y los agenciamientos que fuimos cosechando en resistencia, esta vez se fructifican en sonidos nuevos; rotos, hinchados o descompuestos, como hongos de Marosa, dan lugar a nuevas producciones de sentido. A estos clubes y productores nuevos les damos la bienvenida a este Esquirlas 2. 
A ellos, las gracias por haber participado y por estar haciendo lo que nosotrxs hicimos hace diez años. Y a quiénes hacen las pistas de baile con sus pasos, nuestro máximo respeto.

Que la memoria siempre perdure incluso en lo efímero de la pista de baile.

ESQUIRLAS VOL. II

Esquirlas Vol. II | VV.AA 

In the 2018, under the  strategy of the snail that  collects knowledge and  waits patiently for its  moment, we started this  netlabel’s catalogue. We did  it through its foundational  material: Esquirlas; a first  compiled that welcomed  the name of those producers from the  
South American diaspora  who brought with them the  freshness of an emerging  sound, and the energy of  a completely reborn scene.  Producers who, like us, also  respond to the Latin underclub movement, like  cells in a network of  affection. 
To them, we attribute a  starting point: Produce tracks that evokes  your first approaches to  rhythm, that reconstruct a  sound landscape, a sensory  memory that has been  imprinted in your memory:  the roar of a Street party,  the sound of the rain drops  on the zinc roof, the trill of  a bird in the river, the  proclamation of a street  vendor. 
Five years later, we congregate again under this same  premise. Many things have  changed on our stages,  and the assemblages that  
we harvested in resistance,  this time enriched of new  sounds; broken, swollen or  decomposed, like Marosa  mushrooms, give place to  new productions of  meaning. 
To these new clubs and  producer we welcomed to Esquirlas 2.  We thank them for having  participated and for doing  what we did ten years ago.  
And to those who make  the dancefloors with their  steps, our utmost respect.  

May the memory always last  even in the ephemerality of  the 
dancefloor.

INCUNABULA HEROES: DECISIVE BATTLE
"The next episode of Incunabula Heroes parses humanity’s primeval sense, related to their ego of dominion. Each track acts as a chapter, fraying a scenario of ancient trauma and contemporary distortion.

Sanjonas approaches this album with murky experimental club sounds, heavy distorted guitar riffs blending with trance, grime, and fast reggaeton creating an atmosphere that reflects the harsh reality being depicted."

Sanjonas - Heavy Rain Of Iron

edna ( https://soundcloud.com/ednahaha ) uses deviant beats and dark and ecstatic textures to create a portal to other dimensions. Her music is like a zest of life, developed in weird, dynamic and sexy atmospheres, into which ectasis and joy appear like explosions. She explores the narrative potential of DJ sets, weaving in and out and around hard techno, breaks and tribe, choosing a direction rather than a stream. On the stage, she sculpts a weird and playful, generous black-eyed creature, often associating music with visuals, dance, and performance.

This new premiere is from a track from “Portails”, her first EP, announced for the beginning of 2025, after several single releases on compilations in 2023. As a rising DJ and producer from the queer scene of Marseille, edna’s talent is demonstrated well beyond, in European clubs and within multiple musical and scenic collaborations with artists from all over the world.

Portails, is about transcending boundaries, with each track serving as a portal to a distinct sound world populated by strange, otherworldly creatures. Musically, it navigates a landscape of cross-genre experimentation, demonstrating how a narrative can emerge through contrasting genres and sound textures. Each track taps into the same emotional core, using different sonic languages to express a unified journey.

In the hard hitting Camouflage, Claustinto’s haunting vocals, driven by a heavy bass, sharp textured artisanal FX, and a persistent nagging synth, explore the pressures of societal masking.

Claustinto created the lyrics and reworked the instrumental. Mixing and mastering took place in Submarine FM’s studio, in Blacieux, Ardèche.
