Pshiuu - Conscious Mind (Mujia,Tajo & Maloua Lou Re - Touch)[ Hug Records ]

Sometimes the creation of an EP just flows smooth like a club night. This is one of those times, we have been in contact with @pullichomba for almost a year now and they created this beauty of a track for us in June 2021 with powerful vocals from Macarena Paz (Ohmmmygoddess).

We directly knew who we wanted to remix this and @mytripismytrip, @Kapchiz and @DanielHokum all said yes right away. The fitting cover art comes from Dimitris Kiriakis and @niju-1 did the mastering, could not have dreamed of anyone better. This track is made for Berlin club nights and we can not wait to listen to it for the first time on club speakers ourselves.

Label: @hugrecords

As always Hug Records introduce the artist behind the music with three questions about themself.

Who is your hero?
"My father, he was an ex-football player in 60's-70's and l always wanted to be like him when l was a child."

If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
"Somewhere there is no rush, may be l just prefer moto-caravan  so l can visit everywhere and live wherever l want  :) but if l have to choose l guess it should be Spain."

What was your favorite school subject?
"If you mean the lesson l liked the geometry especially triangles."

For this EP we also have a very special cover with an Anadol car and a
special story ;)

Onur's Anadol story:
"My uncle who passed away many years ago l think  at 1991 anyway ; he  had  Anadol cars several times while l was a kid and l always dream about it especially the orange one and one day we were  hanging out with Yigit at my studio  he play this guitar melody and l said play again and record that guitar part and then make the track Anadol 🙂  the guitar melody is so Anatolian and that kind of melodies everytime reminds me my uncle car."

Two free spirits shimmying through life on the rope of music made this fantastic rework 4 years ago, originally by Ukrainian band @dakhabrakha. As is their way, the track was left on a hard drive alongside hundreds of other gems.

Russia's brutal war of aggression kicked up the layer of dust on the hard drive and brought back memories. It's time to release the song into the world. And with it to spread a message of compassion, solidarity and hope.

Confident that the longing for freedom will last longer than any war or tyrant.

DakhaBrakha - Nad Dunaem (Casimir & Chai Kowski Reinterpretation) [Hug]

Meet the Artist behind the music, in this case @sydneyseymour

1) If you could have any talent in the world, what would it be?

Already have everything, just need to remember it


2) What's the craziest or most out-of-character thing you've ever done?

I ve created a neuroscience clinic when i was 24 yrs old without any diploma in neuroscience or psychology, and now this project is helping hundreds of peoples every year. neuroscenter.com


3)What's your favorite thing about the place where you live?

Barcelona is very open and easy to socialize and i love that

Sydney Sëymour - Religious Truth

Meet the artist behind the music, in this case @tayranour

1) If you could have any talent in the world, what would it be?

I have this recurring dream wherein i play the guitar just by using my mind, i’m able to hear every note i can think of without the limitations of the body.  It would be a wonderful talent to have in the waking world aswel.

2) What's the craziest or most out-of-character thing you've ever done?

That’s a though question! My mom could be reading this! hahah
Let’s just say, i share the same crazy stories that every “Psychonaut” has experienced.

3)What's your favourite thing about the place where you live?

We live in a small village near the mountains of Serra da Estrella in Portugal and my favourite thing here is to watch the birds show of their flying skills while listening to their morning songs with the sound of the river in the background. This really tickles my heart and makes me want to grow wings and join them, which is what i also do when my body goes to sleep :)

Tayr Anour & RAiK - Just Give Love (Original Mix)

As always we introduce the person behind the music with three questions, in this case Ben aka @tannenberg

1) What is your favorite book to read? 
Tortilla Curtain by TC Boyle. Not only because it carries the favourite food of my ancestors from Central America in the title but also describes the issues immigrants are facing coming into an industrialized, over-organised and materially wealthy society. Also a reflection of my own personal story.

2)  If you were a super-hero, what powers would you have? Magic hugs which turn haters into lovers, war lords into cuddle machines and jealous folks into caring & supporting persons. 

3) What's the longest you've gone without sleep (and why)?  Some 60 hours on one of the first super enthusiastic weekends dancing in Berlin - right from work on Friday to the bars and then 1 full 24h at Sisyphos. Was just so happy to be alive at that time in that place. Just couldn’t stop dancing with a big smile on my face.

tANNENBERG - WaldLichtung

Absentune - Edge Of (Original Mix)

We always want to introduce you to the artists behind the music. In this case it is Pedro aka @meraki4

He wrote a little text about the meaning of the song for him:

"Gezellig" pronounced like “Huhg-zell-hgick” is a word that I got in touch right when I arrived to Amsterdam and it has a very beautiful meaning: a blend of simple pleasures like cosiness, togetherness, conviviality, jolliness, contentedness.

And of course we also asked him three questions:

1) What is your favorite book to read?,
My favourite book to read is Sidarta by Hermann Hesse

2)if you were a super-hero, what powers would you have?
 My superpowers would be ultra fast flying skills, teleportation, being able to raise my chi and change my appearance when I hit a certain level, shoot beams from my hands and super strenght, pretty much like the main character of Dragon Ball 🐉

3) What's the longest you've gone without sleep (and why)?
  The longest I've went without sleeping was during a summer solstice festival in Belgium where after not sleeping for one night me and two friends were supposed to close the main stage with a b3b at around 6pm and we ended up playing till 8am because everybody was having a lot of fun and didn't want to leave

PREMIERE: Meraki Ft. Salvador Araguaya – Gezellig (Fenu Remix) [ Hug Records ]

As always, Hug Records ask the artists three questions to introduce himself. In
this case Bene aka Benoir ;)

1) What is your favorite book to read?

That's not an easy question because I definitely don't read enough. but
at the moment I'm reading the book: "Paris - ein Fest fürs Leben" by
Ernest Hemingway and I love the way Hemingway calmly talks about his
time and describes life as an artist in Paris.

2) If you were a super-hero, what powers would you have?

There are a lot of good answers for the second question. I think
speaking for humanity, my superpower would be to end wars and hunger,
for me personally the greatest superpower would be to be infinitely free
from all constraints and conventions.

3) What's the longest you've gone without sleep (and why)?

the longest i was up was like 40
hours when we organized our own open air and were busy throughout the
night. Otherwise, sleep is very important to me and you will rarely find
me at extended after-hour sessions

Maßgeschneidert - Invictus

We all know this moment - you are lying in bed with a loved one on a Sunday and the world stands still. 

You put on some music to set the scene for rising temperatures under the sheets…

The beautiful set you put on suddenly brings you out of rhythm, but getting up to skip the track is no longer an option.

We have been scouting for the perfect Sunday morning sets for quite a while already and while "Eigentlich heissen wir Klaus" & "Mattmosphere" have been steady suppliers of them for us, we also developed the idea of asking befriended artists to record one hour of music, to which they like to stay in bed with a loved one. 

It's an intimate ask, but most of them said yes. 

Julia aka @ismetra from our friends at @otawa-rec contacted us a while ago with the idea of making a sensual podcast and hence it was only logical to have her kick off the series, which will from now on be released every two weeks on Sunday morning. 

So grab your special person, get cosy, press play and get ready to let the love birds fly ❤️

Cuddle Cast #1 - Ismētra

100 years of Surrealism and Psychedelia (V.A)
Artist : https://soundcloud.com/biop6

Label : @cosmovisionrecords
Original concept by @elextravagante
Compiled by @elextravagante & @don-mescal

Full compilation will be released on 05/05/2023
⋘ ────── ∗ ⋅◈⋅ ∗ ────── ⋙
➤ About this VA:
100 years ago the world lived in chaos. Huge wars between humans, as well as great advances in technology that changed forever the face of the world, a world that according to many artists, lived as a prisoner of the rational mind and that did not allow us humans to understand life and the Universe in its wide spectrum.

This is how, with its mystical origin in Dadaism, Surrealism was born. A movement that sought to explore and venture into the limits of the human mind through art. Initially literature, but also reaching the visual arts and so much more. Then decades later, the first psychedelic artists were born, much closer to music in its origins and who represented a rebellion against the established norms in the face of a world in chaos.

Today after 100 years, the scenario is complex again. There are wars, there is a technological revolution and the world is coming out of a great chaos caused by a virus that produced a great crisis. Can we perhaps learn something from the ideas of surrealism, to understand today's world?, remove ourselves from the entirely rational mind to which technology and the "information society" push us, to finally understand the world from an alternative perspective?

Making this compilation was a leap into the void, a mixture of psychic automatism and cadavre exquis (exquisite corpse) that ended with a very free, authentic and very fresh result, with the wonder of the unexpected, including very purely electronic songs, with ideas of techno and even psy trance, like other more tropical ones with psychedelic cumbia, of course others more pop and the others, those that are usually there in our music, the ones totally trippy.

We hope you enjoy this great compilation full of freedom and unusual ideas, which will help you connect with another world through music, rhythm and love, thank you eternally!

The set you put on suddenly brings you out of rhythm, but getting up to skip the track is no longer an option.

We have been scouting for the perfect sunday morning sets for quite a while already and @Mattmosphere has been a steady supplier of them for us. So we asked him and his partner Adriana to record one hour of music together, to which they like to stay in bed with.

It's an intimate ask, but they said yes and this beauty of a set is the result. 

Mattmosphere selected half the tracks and adriana aka @amapola-sounds selected the other half and sang her own beautiful lyrics ( see below), their good friend @morgen_musik recorded them and the result is something magical: 

So grab your special person, get cosy, press play and let the love birds fly ❤️

Here the lyrics to the set:

The Cloud Room
 Es marzo en una ciudad de Europa de 2023
Después de un invierno de temperaturas extremadamente frías, la ciudad está esperando la primavera.
Figuras etéreas.
El rastro de dos copas de vino. 
La blusa tirada en el suelo.
Olor de amor encerrado. 
Y el resto de algunas ramas de uvas. 

Ojos cerrados,  
Manos que se buscan entre ellas Cosquilleos. 
Y se vuelven a dormir. 

Y mientras tanto, 
mientras transcurre la noche,
Las velas se funden, 
Enteras
en la mesilla de noche

Adama Dramé - Fourou (Peter Power Edit)

We are living in turbulent times at the moment and when Steffen send us this beautiful track he mentioned that he thought of peace on earth while creating it. His aim is to create peace in our hearts for the 6:51 minutes that the track lasts and we believe he succeeded in that. We already enjoyed the track for two weeks now and whenever we listened to it, it had a very calming effect on us and functioned as a little oasis of peace on a stressful day. We hope it can do the same for you. 100% of the revenue from this track gets donated to www.love-foundation.org and you can download it for a voluntary amount here: https://steffenkirchhoffmedicinemusic.bandcamp.com/track/peace-on-earth

Steffen Kirchhoff - Peace On Earth

This song was created by a woman named Rosa Giove during a powerful ceremony in South America and she gifted it to the world after that. When Malek aka @lokalaffair send us his edit we immediately fell in love with it and started digging a bit deeper. We managed to find the lyrics in original spanish and english and we are happy to share them with you below. 

We hope the song resonates in the same way with you as it did with us and we want to thank Malek for opening our hearts to this beauty and donating 100% of the profits of this edit to our water project with www.love-foundation.org/about

Lyrics
Abrete corazón, abrete sentimiento, abrete entendimiento
deja a un lado la razón y deja brillar el sol escondido en tu interior.
Abrete la memoria antigua escondida en la tierra, en las plantas, bajo el agua, bajo el fuego, en tu cuerpo.
Es tiempo ya— ya es la hora.
Abrete corazón y recuerda como el espíritu cura, cómo el amor sana, cómo el arbol florece y la vida perdura.

English Translation
Open your heart, open to feeling, open to understanding
leave reason aside and let the hidden sun inside you shine
Open yourself to the ancient memory hidden in the earth, in the plants, under the water, under the fire, in your body.
It’s time— now is the time. 
Open your heart and remember how Spirit cures, how love heals, how the tree grows and life endures.

What is the Background Story? 
In January 2018 Love Foundation went on its first Tournee in Brasil, among others due to our friends from @Sonidotropico. @meraki4 we already met in Summer 2017 in Greece and @gerragmusic we met during the LF party in Curitiba, where he did an amazing music production class. We started talking and when we discovered that the two of them made a track together, we knew this is the perfect track to take back to Europe with us. 

How was the track created? 
Gerra is a big fan of Lucas Santanna and when Pedro aka Meraki visited him once in Curitiba they were playing around with some of Lucas samples and this track is the result. The name of the track symbolizes what Gerra and Pedro were feeling that time. They loved the sample from the first listen and wanted to hold it forever.

Where does the money go?

@intinahualmusic is a talented musician from Mexico that we met via our friends from @Voodoohop. The track that he send us blew us away from the first time we listened to it and we are delighted to share it with you.

Intis intention with this track was to take you onto a journey into time and space and to make you feel the tribal dance of shamanic tribes in Mexico. For that purpose he used many natural sounds like drums, birds &  native chants. He fusioned them with contemporary rythms and tried to create a connection with the ancestors and nature. So close your eyes, awake your inner animal instincts and enjoy this beauty in full awareness.

@feinheitsbrei aka Simeon is a very talented young producer from Dresden. We met him during a Love Foundation party at the TBA Club in the Neustadt in Dresden. There we instantly fell in love with him and his music. The track that he produced for us was also made in the Dresdner Neustadt, the liberal and cultural heart of Dresden. He wanted to express his feelings towards the Neustadt and the atmosphere while strolling around the city. We are very happy to share these 8 minutes of pure Neustadt Love with you.

Mente Organica - El Carnaval Profundo (Steffen Kirchhoff Revision)

Nadav Dagon joined the Love Foundation Family about two years ago. He was one of main driving forces in bringing love to Israel and has played countless of live shows in the name of love, all over the world. Now it is his time for a different contribution with his tribal ethnic track Ima Aba. This rework comes from the young talent @Feinheitsbrei from Dresden. He already gifted us a beautiful own track in June and gave Nadav's track now a retouch that gives the whole track more of a club feeling. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do! 

As always with Hug Records 50% of the income of this track are donated to our social partner @Love-Foundation, the other 50% are split equally between Hug Records and the artist.

Little did we know back then, that one day he would join forces with Josef Loibner on the Piano. Yuri Nepomnyashchiy on the Clarinet & Yannick Mäntele on the Trompet and make this beauty of a track for us.

We met @luimafuta thanks to our friends from @downvienna at a wild party at Fluc in Vienna in 2019 . We spend some nice days together and feel in love with his live set. When Jonas aka @KlangDruide then send us " A Spoon full of honey" as release proposal earlier this year, we directly had to think of Lui and knew this would be a great match. Lui took his friend Puste along with his trumpet and out came this beauty of a track. Due to Corona we could not enjoy their live performance at Klunkerkranich last Saturday the 14.03, but we hope the song puts a smile on your face where ever you are right now. 

As always with Hug Records 50% of the profit raised with this track are donated to the Water Project from @Love-Foundation. The other 50% are split equally between Artist and Label.

Thomas aka @thomas-gaarthuis is a Dutch musician that is living in the picturesque Haarlem. He has been producing for many years and made a beautiful remix for us in the very first month of our existence. He is also an avid supporter of LF Amsterdam and we are thankful that he agreed to add his own production to our releases from this year. The title Rompompom came up when Thommie was exploring vocal elements to add to the track.

As for the remix; last year Thommie remixed 'Red Dust' for @theoddness, so this moment was perfect to do it the other way around. Happy to have The Oddness remix Rompompom.

Camel Riders very anticipated release, which is focused on the Latin-American electronic sound - 'Tribu Ancestral' (Compiled by David Madrid), Featuring: Rodrigo Gallardo, Kraut, Steffen Ki, Intiche, Ohxalá, El Remolon, Alvaro Suarez, Klik & Frik, Deep Filip, Yemanjo, Ōme, jiony, Derrok, Ünam, Mente Orgánica, Biomigrant, Carla Valenti, AmuAMu, Da Iguana, Marcelo Berges, Ka:lu, Tribilin Sound, Joss Martin, Nadav Dagon, Urucum, Diguital Trip, Jakare, Ecotono, Siti, Tal Wollner, Manimalion and Sunset Riders.

This wonderful VA compilation displays 29 musical stories that tribute Pre-Columbian and post-colonial tribes across South-Central America, crafted with a futuristic & flexible approach by a beautiful team of artists deriving from 18 different countries on planet earth.

The artwork was created by the Tel Aviv-based artist Alyona Kobets a.k.a Eyes & Scissors, which works with her scissors to create endless stories with the use of existing materials extracted from books & magazines.

This raw composition gives a glance at the pagan ancient beliefs of Latin American tribes and their advanced astrological aspirations.
At the center, we can see a symbol of Pre-Columbian human creation connected to the 'Latin heart'. The welcoming wooden hand displays the symbiosis that took place between humans and nature, while the majestic jaguar reminds us that he is the true ruler of the continent. For Amazonian natives, the jaguar is everything: The power, the energy of nature, the god of fertilization, and the ruler of the two worlds; Night & Day. The planets around are symbols of their observations of the movement of the earth, while the sacred animals represent some of the astrological signs in Tribal cultures.

Prepare yourselves for a colorful journey following the ancestral tribes of Latin America, across the vast plains of the continent, throughout its majestic mountains and endless jungles, as seen through the eyes of futuristic humans.

Release Date: 14/01/2021

Pre-order

Premiere: Ibu Selva - Orphidea (Camel Riders)

Some members from @Love-Foundation and @HugRecords are living together in the Sierra Estrella Mountain Range in Portugal, where we are rebuilding an old abandoned village, called Foz da Cova.

We have a little music studio here and sometimes we have befriended musicians coming by for a visit.

Sometimes these friends play music for us and sometimes we press the record button when they do so. 

This is the first of those times.

Our first Pod da Cova comes from @dorianfecht who spend November and December with us in the mountains. Dorian normally lives in Dresden, where he is part of Love Foundation and @Zirkulation. He will take you on a journey to this long forgotten place and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Lyrics:
Hills. Trees. Farms. Cottages. Landscapes from dreams. Breathtaking dreams. Idyllic life in harmony with nature in whose bosom it flourished. It would take your breath away. East of Arganil in Portugal, Foz da Cova is its name. And that is where the fires came in 2017. The fires roared. People fled. There wasn't time to save much. In a span of days and weeks, there remained only memories of how life once was there. An almost arid landscape bears witness to the destruction. From this desolation and this devastation and this tragedy an energy breathed itself into a group of people who dared to imagine bringing the magic and the poetry of these lands back, to imagine life finding its way back here with a little help. A heterotopia. This is where I came, this is where I am, this is what I saw, this is what I felt. Sublimating boundaries. Erasing borders. Entwining narratives. Myth becoming real, reality becoming myth. There is beauty here. There is adventure here. And, there is hope. Immerse yourself in these landscapes, live for a moment with these people, dream a little for yourself and for them and for the world. A story whose beginning we know. A story being told. A story being lived. A story which is still coming into being. Foz da Cova is its name.

1st Pod Da Cova - Dorian Fecht

A weekend adventure in the north Seattle neighborhood of Green Lake with Lucy to create a dj mix. Disconnected from reality he was stalled by an endless loop. The layers! The layers! Oh the layers! A new journey was discovered...To recreate the loop he obsessed over so relentlessly. Together with Lucy and his trusty melodica, Moog Synthesizer, Juno 106 and handful of bottle caps his voyage began. The loop was all he thought about. With every added accompaniment the composition became more elaborate and more complex...but alas! Sections were missing! He called on his new friend Paul Gafni to record guitar. His style was a solid fit. The final bit was a voice, but who could be my voice? The best choice was Louise Matoso. Her velvety melodious voice would be perfect! Soon the loop was becoming a song and the journey was coming to an end. The only objective left was to find a home for the track. A big hug from Lucy gave him a great idea.

Our friend Fernando aka @Kvoox from @plurpurarecords gave this track a long, deep hug in his own special way and the result is this beautiful remix.
