super nice! Is this released material? thanks!

Post priceless vibes, so perfect for sitting back and reflecting on the awesome weekend!

I have always loved music, but it wasn’t until I discovered Hip-Hop from the 90´s and all of the music that is connected with this genre via sampling that I really began to dig deeper.

I started playing the drums, and produced my first beats on a MPC. I played Funk, Soul and Hip-Hop DJ sets but never could identify myself completely within a genre. It is why I fell in love with Downtempo music. I loved that you could combine so many different styles and genres in this music and I felt like I could really grow as an artist in this genre for a long time.

My appreciation for so many different styles of music still influences me today, I alway try to push the border between genres so I don’t close myself off from new possibilities.

Therefore I am very happy to have RA SUAINE as the cover artist for this Ep.

What matters is what you decide to matter. Sometimes the groove is all that matters. This is one of those times.

Regenerar

Resina

Canadian label Breathing Room Records is back with their third digital release after a lengthy pandemic-related hiatus. A little over two years after their previous outing, they are happy to introduce Tropica, a duo from Newcastle, UK. Forest Floor is their debut EP and it includes three original tracks as well as a remix from Toronto-based producer and DJ, Ciel. This is the first remix in Breathing Room’s catalogue.

All three originals are slow and chuggy. Monstera Deliciosa, the opening track, is driven by warm chords and a wobbly synth line while a siren-esque pad weaves in and out. Birds of Paradise continues on a similar wavelength but dives a little further into acid territory with its lead and stays true to its name with different birds contributing to the overall ambience. Devil’s Ivy is a little darker in tone with it’s delayed pads, a didgeridoo and haunting scream-like samples permeating throughout. Ciel’s take on Monstera Deliciosa stays true to the original but introduces a juxtaposing, almost playful lead and tougher percussion, giving the track a faster, bouncier feel.

Inhale deeply and immerse yourself once more in the ethereal sounds of @ali_dada, as "nanou" comes to life once again with four reinterpretations of their original EP. The remixes showcase the talents of Lokke, Skarú, Jiony, and Daniel Imhof—whose creative endeavors add new dimensions to ali dada's dreamy and unwinding music.

Their original productions artfully blend elements from diverse and distant genres, fusing experimental ambient vibes with jazzy, psychedelic guitars, and mellow hip-hop beats. Through extended jam sessions, the trio crafts music that evokes a desire to slow down, linger, and immerse oneself in the carefully crafted sonic landscapes. The music is filled with subtle elements, including snippets and field recordings, delivering delightful acoustic surprises that encourage dreaming and transcendence. 
The remixers share their personal experiences with "nanou" and the motivations behind their creative choices. @lokke expressed his admiration for the warm music and chose "zwueschetag" for its beautiful softness. @skaruu, drawn to the relaxing summer vibes, selected "laguna" to experiment with beat patterns and sample chopping. @jiony found comfort in the EP's blend of electronic downtempo and instrumental music, remixing "345" to infuse it with downtempo dance floor drums and nostalgic guitar phrases. @daniel-imhof, while initially hesitant to remix ali dada's unique music, found inspiration during his days in the serene valley of Onsernone, rearranging and adding subtle touches to "eineno."
 
The "Nanou Remixes" EP is a reflection of creativity, showcasing the versatility and ingenuity of both ali dada and the remixers. It stays true to the essence of "nanou" but like revisiting a beloved place with fresh, wonder-filled eyes, it beckons listeners to step aboard again, finding the familiar with a delightful, evocative twist.

Everything flows. Arutani‘s third album is a very personal note on change and life. The stories we see and create, the balance of hope and melancholia that accompanies every step we take. Calm, light, modest and mindful as the artist himself, with a glimpse of light in every aspect. Minimal in character and rich in detail.

For Breathing Room’s sophomore release, the Toronto based label look to Swiss multi-instrumentalist Bixi to supply the goods. The German producer exudes warm and tropical vibes across the five track vinyl release entitled ‘Aquarius’. Rich in deft live instrumentation and clever sample work, an organic feel flutters through each track with bubbling water, forest-inspired atmosphere, ethnic percussion and gentle handclaps the order of the day. Once again the release is presented with beautiful artwork by 3D and visual artist Maks Pihs. Definitely a label to keep an eye on.
