I'm so honoured to introduce Madhu Honey, my beloved. Her vocals have moved me to my core, and sung me to tears countless times. 

Joining Madhu Honey on this track is Samayama Akira, one of my closet brothers in life. His reflection is a pure mirror, and my gratefulness for his friendship lead to this collaboration. 

In this track I began exploring my love for future bass and RnB but like most tracks they have a life of there own. Letting go and allowing things to unfold in unknown ways is a way of allowing what even I can not perceive to be created. I bow to the mystery of life unfolding...
lyrics
We are beautiful 

A little bit sexy 

Always sacred 

Sometimes dirty 

So drop a little deeper 

Take some space 

For this life 

For this grace

The sophisticated raciness of Dole & Kom is always a fascinating thing to witness. Their title ‘Samoja’ means serious business in terms of beats, bass and the resulting danceability. The playful instrumentations and afro vocal part of this title create a very musical counterpart. ‘Juniper’, their streamlined second track on this EP, follows a trajectory that clearly aims at a good time on the dancefloor while its mighty hypnotic potential remains hovering in the background like an otherworldly presence. Variation is always good and that's why there's two remixes, as well: Mollono.Bass with an energetic departure and Elfenberg with a tribalistic flow experience.

Simple Symmetry's HUGE end-of-the-night, top-of-the-morning, spiritual floor-filling remix of Drugface

Drugface - In The Clouds  (Simple Symmetry Remix)

Edit made out of Sven Kacirek original tune, 'Lamu Sunsail' from the Album 'The Kenya Sessions'. It have been on my lately live sets and finally wanted to put it out. 

support here:

»The Kenya Sessions« is available on Vinyl, licensed from the german label Pingipung. For »The Kenya Sessions«, Sven Kacirek traveled through Kenya, equipped with loads of microphones. A pretty solid idea. On »The Kenya Sessions« we find recordings of kenyan singers and musicians carefully composed to a flow of 15 pieces mixed with Percussion-, Marimba- and Piano-elements. What strikes most while listening is the outstanding quality of the recordings and the accuracy of Sven’s work. (...)

Now, what do we have here... A brand new offering by Mr. Panthera Krause. You know, Krause as in Riotvan shareholder and co-curator, fun guy behind the decks (and in general) and last but not least innovator and maverick of all things House. Krause has been proven over the course of his previous EPs on Riotvan that his approach to electronic music is one of a kind and never lacks a certain tongue in cheek attitude. Exactly that is now validated by these two new cuts, maybe more concise and on point than ever. And these tunes are not only an indicator about where the boy is at right now, they are also a foretaste of an album that will be released later that year on Riotvan.

Side one contains the "Genki Girl", a character of the rather quirky kind, it seems. Krause introduces a beat rich in cowbell and tambourine use, topped by a guitar lick, that sparks some memories of that time when Funk and Punk fell in love and a label like DFA had its heydays. While adding synth arrangements, one could assume, Krause might've gone a bit bonkers for a second. And that's applying to both, the rhythmic patterns as well as the lead that throughout time gets adapted by various other instruments. A rich and haywire tune that still retains an utmost floor appeal. 

Same goes for "Spring Irre" on the flipside. As the German title already indicates, this one is even nuttier. Guitar samples triggering a certain Talking Heads memento meet eccentric pitchshift modulations and an indeed jumping bass sounding as if it was played by Bootsy Collins on ephedrine. A sidestepping, plain unpredictable monster of a track that despite of all its complexity at any moment delivers groove and joy and unrestricted frenzy.

Enjoy the World-Bridging and Culture Shifting in ‘Poranguí Remixes’ post, written by Christian Cortes (SoundScrybe): https://keyframe-entertainment.com/world-bridging-and-culture-shifting-in-porangui-remixes/

Porangui Remixes: Vol. 2 (Desert Trax) takes a turn back toward the organic by delving further into the slow house styling that has been transforming the world of downtempo music in recent years. Spotlighting the instrumental and vocal work of the source tracks, these songs are bolstered by a deep and repetitive four-on-the-floor beat that brings a soothing, mesmeric edge to Poranguí’s mystical music. Inclusions by Latin rhythm master El Búho, Moon Frog, Ancestral Elephants, Ryan Herr, and numerous other downtempo artists line the release with an uplifting tribal tone that places heavy emphasis on Poranguí’s elaborate instrumental loops with the added support of a warm house beat. 

On the heels of their debut EP with Desert Trax, up-and-coming duo Jakare (Halfred and Lo.Renzo) tap into the essence of South American musical aesthetics in their remix of “Otorongo.” Both instrumentalists of their own, Halfred and Lo.Renzo are in many ways an ideal pairing for the album’s shamanistic soundscapes, using many of the instruments in Poranguí’s arsenal in their own productions to conjure the harmonious tone and atmospherics of tribal 4/4 music. Adding their own instrumental flavor to Poranguí’s already danceable source track in this stirring remix, Jakare creates an uplifting journey that will surely find a home in ecstatic dance settings and daytime dance floors for years to come. 

Far more than mere tracks, the nineteen cumulative songs appearing on Poranguí Remixes showcase the endless dimensions of sound packed into each original composition as well as the flexibility of Poranguí’s instrumental and vocal samples to be bent, twisted, warped, and modulated into exotic shapes suited to a range of musical styles and intensities. It is no wonder that Poranguí finds solace in the concept of the “hollow bone” — an idea stemming from indigenous traditions in which one strives to be emptied of personal attachments and obstacles in order to become a conduit for the healing powers of art, expression, and Spirit. Acting less like a source of the music and more as a vessel for the stories embedded within each instrument and beyond to be expressed, Poranguí embodies the role of the world bridger, extracting sound from the world and presenting it to a colorful array of remixers to be transformed by their unique visions.

Poranguí Remixes Vol II

Otorongo

EXCLUSIVE: Poranguí - Otorongo (Jakare Remix)ALBUM REVIEW (Desert Trax)

Tending The Garden

We are beyond ecstatic to share this video and song from the Solar Sound retreat with you!

At the Solar Sound Men’s Electronic Music Production Retreat in Costa Rica in February 2020, 55 men from around the world came together to create ecstatic electronic music.

This is how it went down: Starting in a class lead by David Satori of Beats Antique and Dirtwire, we created the foundation of a collective song, which we added more and more layers to throughout the week, culminating in hip hop verses from several super inspired brothers and a music video of us having the best time of our lives, creating the song, dancing in the jungle, and gettin' down!

At the same time, the Women at the Shakti Sound retreat were also making music and videos on the other side of Costa Rica during a timely half-moon phase of the month. We were inspired by Shakti Sound’s music video from their first retreat, and wanted to have something special to share with our dear sisters, future and past Solar Sound brothers, and with the world.

The chorus of this song is sung by Tzutu Kan (a balam ajpu member), one of the teachers at Solar Sound, who is an indigenous Tz’utujil Mayan hip hop artist from Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. In the song, he is saying the names of all the indigenous tribes of Costa Rica, to call them in, honor them, thank them, and connect with them:

Tzutu’s Verse: Chorotegas Cabécares, Bribris, Ngäbe, Térrabas, Borucas, Huetares, Malekus, Kin siq'ij li a b'i iwonojel.

We have decided that all funds raised from the sales of this song will go to Tzutu’s non-profit organization which teaches music, art, and language revitalization to indigenous Mayan children in his homeland.

A note on the School of Mayan Hip Hop:
“Within the “Caza Ajaw.” School, elements of Hip Hop are reconfigured to create
alignment between Hip-Hop culture and Mayan culture. Caza Ajaw teaches Hip-Hop as
having three elements (Rap, Painting and Music) corresponding to the three stones
traditionally used to make a hearth (or xkub’) in Mayan culture. The use of the xkub’
hearthstones recontextualizes the elements of Hip-Hop from a specifically Maya
perspective. The songs taught in the school reflect the goals of language revitalization within the Maya Movement – encouraging children to use the language among themselves, the use of
Mayan languages in new domains, and an emphasis on the connection between language
use and cultural knowledge.”

So much love and stoke went into the making of this song and this video!

Please share this video, and donate to Tzutu’s organization by purchasing the song, or making a direct donation here and note that it’s for Tzutu: paypal.me/solarsound

Brothers Of The Sun ((Solar Sound))

Rocking the West Coast World Music scene hard with its fusion of hip-hop/spoken word, ritual dance, and traditional World influences, Hamsa Lila earned its stripes as venerable force within the world music genre.   Since their inception in 2001 they've been recognized as a pioneer in world fusion, singing in multiple languages, alongside hypnotic polyrhythms led by  South African deep-pocket groove drummer Ian "Inkx" Herman (who’s backed Paul Simon, Sting, Hugh Masakela, Vusi Mahlasela), and mesmerizing vocals of the velvet voiced Nikila Badua and soulful Deja Solis, along with the core tribal resonance of MJ Greenmountain on male lead vocals and percussion. The bottom pulse of Hamsa Lila comes from the Gnawa bass like lute called the ‘sintir’, played by Vir McCoy.  This goat-gut stringed, camel-skinned ’bass’ has a penetratingly deep tone delivery that exemplifies Hamsa Lila’s unique sound.  When the repetition of trance melodies are added to this equation by another Moroccan, gut-stringed lute called the ‘Guimbri’, played by Beryl Jacobson, the group produces a sound that is wholly their own: a potent healing salve of electro-organic roots, hypno-grooves, and other-worldly melodies. And when embellished with the multi-instrumental talents of Evan Fraser (who is half of the hugely popular duo Dirtwire), on flutes, synths, ngoni, kalimbas, jawharps, and percussion, Hamsa Lila erupts in tidal wave of divine sounds and rhythms. The band became a sensation for their marathon "all night" performances at Burning Man and other popular West Coast festivals and events, and cemented a historic 2nd place on two national charts for their previous studio release "Gathering One.".  ( CMJ, Billboard ) in the World Fusion category.
Hamsa Lila has shared the stage with a number of renowned artists such as Karsh Kale, Michael Franti, Steve Kimmock, String Cheese Incident, Rasaki Aladokun ( King Sunny Ade), Tinariwen, and many others. Hamsa Lila’s new album, Aurora, is their latest studio recording, a collection of previously un-released studio gems.  The album will be fully released in August 2015.
