Beateljouss - Evry'day

Out of the primordial chaos of pandemic and two years since their last full-length outing SUPERSAN, those sassy purveyors of World Dance of the highest calibre return with a bang. Duo’s 3rd studio album soon to be released by Boom Selectah Records promises to turn heads and perk ears of the aficionados of Afro House but also has a potential to spill out from the niche and conquer the hearts of wider audiences.
The album titled ‘Little Dakar’ is’ the labour of love of two long time collaborators from Greece, Kostas and Valantis. This time their quest for musical purity and honesty is enriched and enhanced by stirring alliances. Scattered inside the audio-tapestry of this exotic wax flower you will find the vocals from ‘the voice of Senegal’ Jefree, and enchanting strumming from the fret of George Koltsiou. While rich traditions of Senegali music are particularly evident (and reflected in the album title), ‘Little Dakar’ goes far and beyond the sounds of a steamy Dakar Disco dancefloor. Finely tuned ear is in for a treat and could easily travel the distances between Senegal, Angola, Ghana, Uganda and Mali to name but a few. But you don’t have to be an expert to fall in love with this album. The multidimensional colours of African musical heritage are easily accessible to a novice too as the references to better known House and Funk traditions could be heard loud and clear throughout the record.
What makes ‘Little Dakar’ stand out as a clear winner is the up-tempo, dancefloor-oriented approach that SUPERSAN chose to pursue on their third studio album. With ease and panache, the duo throws our way some insane musical chops, while keeping the mood Sunny and vocal hooks joyful. The spectre of moods with which SUPERSAN bombard us is impressive but be it the epic retro-tinged drive of ‘Diem Rek’ or somewhat more sombre, afro-gothic yet seductive push of ‘BLZ’, the hooks of the ‘Little Dakar’ are unmistakably sharp and are sure to act as a call to arms on any discerning dancefloor.

• Written and produced by Panama Cardoon and Mister Kentro.

• Guitars and additional production by George Koltsiou.
• Mixed by Andrés Odonne at Bugambilia Estudio.

Superpendejos - Transmisión - feat. Pau Vidal [160 Kbps]

"Donde muere el tiempo

La primer noche soñé que la Madre del Agua me llevaba a nadar en el mar, 
y de tanto que me hundió me ganó el miedo y tuve que despertar.

A la noche siguiente me volvió a tomar de los brazos llevándome profundo, hasta un lugar 
muy calmo y silencioso donde todo estaba en orden. 
"Este es mi vientre, y ahora que ya conoces la muerte te invito a entrar cuando quieras" me dijo, 
y a partir de ese día ya no tuve más miedo.

A la tercer noche fui yo quien la busqué para hacerle un pedido especial.
Desde chico había fantaseado con conocer una bestia marina algún día, de esas
que habitan en lo más profundo del océano, y ella accedió a mi pedido y me llevó.

Después de un buen tiempo de bajar a la parte más oscura y fría llegamos, y ahí estaba.
Este animal majestuoso que medía unas tres veces el tamaño de la ballena más grande me pidió que por favor no lo lastimara, y cuando entendió que no era mi intención fue que abrió sus ojos inmensos.
El brillo de su mirada fue tanto que alcanzó para iluminar el océano entero haciéndolo de día. 

No existen palabras para describir lo que vi en ese momento, y fue con esa claridad con la que desperté algunos días después.

Cuando abrí los ojos no podía respirar, estaba ahogado en mi propio aire. Por eso en un esfuerzo de voluntad muy grande tuve que ir corriendo hasta el estanque y soltar toda el agua.
Así fue como aprendí a respirar de nuevo.
"

Some people now of Universildo's existence - the more contemplative, introspective pseudonym of Pedro Canale aka. Chancha vía Circuito. Eight years after his first and only EP "Luces del Aire" (Hipi Duki Music, 2009) we received an email from Chancha with two unreleased tracks, produced in the limbo between Universildo and the Chancha. Suffice to say, we were blown away. Two tracks that show already the sonic vision of Pedro's music that has us under his spell: the meeting of organic minimalism with deep rhythms and ancestral roots.

While on tour in Hawaii I rented a bike and rode around the island of Maui. My backpack full with two avacados, a few dates, a pocketknife and my bike repair kit. A strong wind on my back and off I went along the unforgettable Hana Highway, an experience etched into my memory. Every 10 minutes I was confronted with different climates, light, and vegetation. Roads strewn with passionfruit turning the surface into a skating rink filled with rainbows, fresh water and salt water. Sleeping under the stars and waking up with a dose of adrenelin instead of my usual caffeine because I had to climb up a tree to get to my coconut milk.
Get Down is my musical interpretation of that trip.
