Mixes

With "Gnawave", Gats and Khalil Mounji invite us on a musical journey that transcends borders and genres, fusing Moroccan Gnawa tradition with the electrifying energy of Berlin's underground scene.
In honor of the late Maallem Said Benthami Oughassal, the revered Gnawa master whose spirit continues to inspire, "Gnawave" is a heartfelt dedication that pays homage to his enduring legacy. May he rest in peace, his influence resonates through every note and beat of this album. As we embrace the profound influence of Maallem Said Benthami Oughassal on Khalil' playing, we also recognize the importance of supporting his family, especially his 7-year-old daughter Rihanna, during this challenging time. To give back to the family of the master, we have established a fund from the proceeds of "Gnawave." We encourage our listeners and fans to contribute generously to this cause, ensuring that the future of this young talent is secure and her dreams are nurtured, just as her father's music has enriched our lives. Let us come together in unity, just as "Gnawave" unites traditions and genres, to provide tangible support to the family of a true Gnawa legend.

@g-a-t-s - Berlin

This year we had the pleasure of enjoying GATS play in Mexico City. He became a good friend of the label after working together on our third EP called "Unnamed Dream" in 2019. 

Such a joy to see GATS in his element with this live hybrid set, which was full of nice surprises and unheard gems. Listen for yourself.

Special thanks to @conexarecords for setting up the night

A unique musical journey unfolds as "GNAWAVE," an album crafted through a groundbreaking collaboration between Moroccan Gnawa musicians and Berlin’s electronic music artists, is set to release on December 1st. 

This album represents a bridge between cultures, showcasing the rich heritage of Moroccan music blended with the vibrant energy of Berlin’s underground scene.

The heart of "GNAWAVE" lies in its tribute to the late Saïd Ougassal, a master of Gnawa music. This album is not just a collection of songs; it's a heartfelt homage, a continuation of a legacy, and a
testament to the enduring spirit of Gnawa music.

Remarkably, "GNAWAVE" was created entirely over the internet, bringing together artists who have never met in person but share a common vision. This digital collaboration underscores the unifying power of music and the possibilities of modern technology.

"GNAWAVE" will be available on all major streaming platforms from December 1st. Pre-orders are available now here https://khalilmounji.bandcamp.com/album/gnawave

Join us in celebrating the release of "GNAWAVE" and experience the harmonious blend of tradition and innovation.

Morocco - Shilling (Gats Edit)

Operating in the dreamy and misty realm located between vibrant Berlin and gargantuan São Paulo, Suçuarana Records is an eclectic label born in 2021 with an interesting recruiting policy that welcomes dissidents, disruptors, and instigators willing to contribute to its still small but growing catalogue.

For its forthcoming outing, the imprint opens its doors for the very first release of Die Grillen, a performative Electroclash act from Berlin whose sonority focuses on “seamlessly fusing electronic elements with captivating performances.”

“Die Grillen Hier” is a proper showcase of the existing synergy between Danae & Gats – and their beautiful dog (which suspiciously seems to be the real mastermind behind the duo’s juice) – and delivers its message through a delicious fusion of New Wave, Synthpop, and early Electro. The provocative theme, with its groovy snares, angular synth riffs, acid gait, and crispy vocals, takes us back to a simpler time in which we could enjoy DJ Hell, Miss Kittin, The Hacker, and Fischerspooner without worrying about all the dystopian madness we have been living in.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://sucuaranarecords.bandcamp.com/music

🔊 https://youtu.be/HP8C_NXNPZg

Following on from last years's "Mondo Organico" compilation, the latest Invisible Inc mini-compilation "Mondo Ritmo", as its title suggests, sets its sights firmly on rhythm and percussion.
Featuring a global array of artists hailing from Argentina to Senegal and everywhere inbetween, the influences and styles on display include latin, afro, dub, dancehall, experimental, acid and more...although it's safe to say none of the tracks are just one of these labels and some of them so impossible to categorise they are genuinely unique.
Initially this EP was intended to be Dancefloor Detonators Vol. 3 but the tempos and vibes of the music that found their way to Invisible HQ were so varied that the whole concept shifted in another direction entirely.
However, lacking in dancefloor killers this EP most certainly is not. Proven and tested dancefloor bombs are Mytron & Balam's opening track "Cabasa Loca" which label boss GK Machine has been spinning at his Wrong Party nights and elsewhere for the last 6 months or so, resulting in track ID requests on several occasions...and the house/dancehall hybrid floor filler "Wicked Can't Run" by LA producer Tom Chasteen (Exist Dance/Dub Club) featuring legendary Jamaican DJ and toaster U Brown, and mixed by equally legendary producer/keyboardist David Harrow who first came to our attention through his regular keyboard contributions to all things On-U Sound related in the 1980s.
The rest of the tracks may not be peak time bangers but they are sure to please the more esoteric and adventurous dancefloors out there....it's an honour to have on board Calypso Records head honcho Thomass Jackson, Thomash (Voodoohop) and Gats (Suçuarana / Curuba) who together as Changa Boys bring in Senegalese drummer Ndiaxo dal Jaam, and finally the little-known Machine and percussionist Congo Caveman.

Tracklist: 

A1 Mytron & Balam - Cabasa Loca (Poland/Argentina)
A2 Caveman & The Machine - Grasslands Dance (Scotland/Germany)
AA1 Natural Numbers feat U Brown - Wicked Can't Run (US/Jamaica)
AA2 Thomass Jackson - Numeris Vienas (Argentina/Mexico)
AA3 Changa Boys feat Ndiaxo dal Jaam - Jaar Jaar Dub (Germany/Brasil/Senegal)

https://soundcloud.com/g-a-t-s: This mix features an eclectic combination of old and new tracks from electronic club music and beyond. It has a darker tone, influenced by current world events, reflecting those themes. Yet, there are moments of sunshine peeking through the clouds here and there.
