Ele & Skarú - Second Grind

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.

Pulli & Chomba - Shaman De Ketamina

Meet the artist @k2w0music behind this beautiful track <3

What is love for you?
Love is to be compassionate and love is to accept - without any
conditions. When one is in the presence of genuine love, they
enjoy the comfort of being their true self and that is liberating. I
have friends and family in my life who make me feel alive and help me
thrive, and to me that is love. Lastly, my mother and I share an
incredible bond and both of us cannot imagine life without each
other - she is the definition of love for me!

What's the closest thing to real magic for you?
Magic is in the unpredictability of life - how it flows and where it
takes you, when you look back everything seems so well-knit and
meant to be!

Magic is in creation - anything that is created without any fear
and ego is bound to become beautiful and bring people together. For
me, its in the creation of music but it can be found in anything you
are passionate about.

Whats the most useless talent you have?
I have a few - I can crack all my fingers at the same time. I can
raise both my eyebrows separately, and I always aim to roll the most
perfect spliff (might not be so useless after all!)

As always with us, 50% of the profits from the sale of this track go to our social partner @love-foundation.

Original Artist: @onur-diner1
Remix Artist: @benoir
Mastering: @niju-1
Cover Art: Oziel Gomez
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.

Audae - Vents Solaires (Aurel Remix)[Hug Records]

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

As always, we 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

Benoir - Limon

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

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

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

Cuddle Cast #3 - Amapola & Mattmosphere present: The Cloud Room

"We are delighted to welcome the Mexican artist @tlazohtla to the Hug Records family with his first full EP for us.

It comes with three beautiful remixes by @danielhokum, @/ni-ni-shrubbery & in this case @k2w0music.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

✨buy & support

Premiere: Tlazohtla - Susurros  (K2W0 Remix) [Hug Records]

We are delighted to welcome @klouterss aka Jerome & Polo to the Hug Records family with a 7 track EP including remixes by @huehuemusica, @guaraci_uirapuru & @rblomusic.

As always we invite you to meet the human behind the music by asking them three questions, in this case answered by Jerome.

1) What is your favorite book to read? ->

It's not my favorite book, but it's one I feel compelled to share. It's "Solaris" by Stanislaw Lem. This book is a gem. It's metaphorical and profound about human thought and the beauty of the world. Some passages made me understand colors and senses that don't exist in everyday life, except maybe in a trip.

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

-> The power I would like to have as a superhero is not needing to sleep. Sleep represents one-third of our life; not needing sleep would allow for more time for oneself, passions, and maximum partying.

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

-> In relation to what was said before, I have already gone nearly 42 hours without sleeping. Why? Enthralled by the musical vibes and the excitement of a fantastic festival, there's simply no need for sleep. Those are the best moments of our lives.

Klouterss - Bass Meeting

Label: @hugrecords
Artists: @exei & @hidaa-music

Meet the artist behind the music, in this case exei aka Alex:

1)What book do you like to read?
Laurent Garnier Elecrtochoc

2) If you were a superhero, what powers would you have?
Stop wars by the power of thought

3) How long have you been awake (and why)?
Once upon a time I played 8 sets in 2 days. It was hard but fun. 

Exei & Hidaa - Plonk

We have been scouting for the perfect Sunday morning sets for quite a while already and while "Late Night Jockel Disko" & "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.

Cuddle Cast #26 comes from Valencia based @pacayapacaya, we discovered him during Fusion Festival and fell in love with his sets. 

We absolutely love this one too and are sure you will as well. 

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

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.

@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. 

50% of the profits of the sale of this track are donated to our partner @love-foundation (www.love-foundation.org) for their water project in Kenia. 50% are split between artist and label.

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.

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.

Thommie G - Rompompom (The Oddness Remix)

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.
