Danza Nativa Invites 014 - Plants Army Revolver (Live Acquario At Masada)

We will end our 7th year with one of our personal favourites.
Davide and Gabriele, aka Primal Code are no newbies in deep techno. With several succesful releases on Hypnus Records and a recent release on Kalahari Oyster Cult, it's a no-brainer for us to invite them and their distinctive sounds on the series.

Long Distance Call

Extremely rare and exclusive ambient recording by the illustrious Luigi Tozzi from Italy. This artist is without any doubt one of the pioneers of the deeper and more emotional electronic music.

This set is recorded at the magnificent Modem festival(momento demento)in Croatia. We had the privilege to experience this performance live at the festival this summer. A moment we will cherish forever ...

Hypnus

Please take 1 hour of your precious time and enjoy this experience with a decent soundsytem and an open mind.

Martin Schulte is a techno producer from Russia who has been delivering new albums once a year. “Seasons” is his latest album which he describes as “Expressing the echos of each seasons - a mixture of cold winter, fresh spring, sunny summer and bright autumn packed with 60 minutes of harmonious chords”. The album sounds just pleasant throughout without any intentional complications which makes each bit of sounds so soothing and alive.

Painé - Africa Oscura (Drums Of Passion Mix)

For our 25th release, we'll be revisiting the work of singular Japanese musician Minoru ‘Hoodoo’ Fushimi. In 1983, a young Minoru was working from his home studio in Japan’s Kanagawa prefecture and determined his first release would be an ode to Japan’s musical heritage. Minoru had noticed the younger generation become increasingly disillusioned with traditional Enka songs and decided to breathe new life into the sentimental ballads of old. The multi-talented artist laid down the beat using a TR-606 and played all the additional instruments himself. 

The resulting tracks are two mutations from the energetic style of the originals into much darker and abstract versions, albeit managing to maintain the passion and spirit of the Enka genre. Minoru utilised a number of vocal distortions to honour the original vibrato singing style, executing the tracks in a way that was more of a mesh between early punk squelching of the late 70’s and Troutman’s funk-fuelled voice-box of the early 80’s. In true Minoru style, his vision overshadowed the accessibility and ironically the tracks fell short of their appeal to the younger generation he was aiming to inspire, yet resulted in two timeless renditions.

Minoru Fushimi - Hone Made Aishite (Love Me To The Bone)

Something different from Causa Sui.

While Causa Sui have always had one foot in heavy psychedelic rock, they've had the other one deep in a wide variety of esoteric styles. On this new double LP set, that other dimension of the band is being explored full-scale. ”Szabodelico” paints with a colourful palette, both compositionally and sonically - digging deep into an assortment of cultures, eras and sounds with a true crate-digger mindset.

Throughout their 15 year life-span Causa Sui has always been about seeking out new directions, exploring the past and the present in a way that's unique at each step of their subtle progression - forging new paths into an existing map. ”Szabodelico” feels like discovering a small room under the stairs of your own house: familiar, yet new and exciting. Their latest vision is an elegantly zoned-out version of itself: a turn inward. Anti-bombastic, yet rich with ecstatic harmonics and dynamics. The band stringed together a long series of sessions in 2019 and early 2020 in their studio in Odense, often prioritizing playful first takes and good vibes rather than clinical perfection.

Sparsely dubbed and mixed with a natural, full bodied flavour by Jonas Munk during the summer of 2020, each track has its own aesthetic. There's no simple equation to sum up the 13 individual parts of the album, but as a whole it creates an entity that's as complete as each of its parts. From the windblown opener ”Echoes of Light”, to the closing slow-motion epic ”Merging Waters” you'll find yourself asking where did the time go? The answer of course is: Szabodelico.
