After several months of searching for answers, I can feel that we have found them. Composed of a thriving group of artists, our core members of the label part of LOKD have compiled a whole group of untold stories.

Moving from eclectic synth escapades to worldly grooves, our compilation defines the main focus of our sound, and we can only be grateful for every artist involved in this project. Untold Chronicles #1 is the first part of our new compilation series, which will be released on our label.

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

1)What is your favorite book to read?
A favourite book to read is ``Γκέμμα'' (Gemma) by D. Liantinis.
Another one is about old recipes of ``Greek Kouzina'' :)LoL

2) If you were a super-hero, what powers would you have?
Hard question! I am not sure, If I was a super-hero probably I wish to be normal:) Otherwise, I wish I could have the power of teleportation, or something like that, e.g., of cooking sweets for everyone:)

3)What's the longest you've gone without sleep (and why)?
Sure...more than 48 hours, in many different situations:) For example, many times in Patras Carnival!

Ioannis, aka External Ratio thanks Jo Nauversen for encouraging his love for music production and especially for his care on this track ``Thorns''.

LABEL: SHANGO RECORDS
CAT. No: SHNG242
RELEASE DATE: Late May
GENRE: Downtempo/Organic-House
COVER DESIGN: Freddie Wyatt

Born in the dark streets of Cairo, grown to the unforgettable forests of Santa Esmeralda, spending its teen years in Bombay and Tangier markets, mature into the deep spacey Jungle of Ghana we proudly present you a new label from the land of the pyramids: SHANGO RECORDS invites you to an unheard world music psychedelic trip: like through a colorful kaleidoscope we will melt down Indian and Pakistani Vibes, Arab-Tek and Oriental groovy vibes, Afro-Beat rhythms n' pieces, Cumbia Tropicana flavors and cosmic Ghetto-Latin vibes into forbidden sounds of frenzied electronic dancefloor rituals. Outside traditional paths these driving grooves and polyphonic structures take the adventure seeking dancer to Dionysian highs and places never been before.

It took a long time for her to cut all the twine root rope that bound the dragon. For some knots she had to swim under water and cut through the waving grasses. As she popped in and out of the water, cutting, she told the dragon all about her village, the goldfish, and how she had just started her journey. “I’m Minli,” she said to the dragon, “What’s your name?” “Name?” the dragon asked slowly. “I do not think I have a name.” “Everyone has a name,” she said. “When you were born, didn’t someone give you a name?” “When I was born?” the dragon asked, thinking hard. “Yes,” she said, again thinking that this dragon was very different from any dragon she had ever heard about. “What did they call you when you were born?”
Menori can tell you the secret stories about Sirenas and Dragons. This is his first offering for Shango Records. These tracks can take you to the end of the Universe. Miza (EG), RossAlto, Noah Jaegson and Viktop are the gatekeepers in the Garden of Earthly Delights

Genocide, June 2025:
Israel is only the executioner, every nation which has armed that country in the past year is an accessory to that genocide, an accomplice, a facilitator.  We cannot talk about war crimes because when you target unarmed civilians, mostly women and children, we are talking about a massacre, like terrorists do, not a war. The people who orchestrated that massacre, in the US, the most duplicitous, followed by those of the UK, Germany, France, and probably a few lesser ones should be tried for crimes against humanity just as well as Netanyahu and his cabinet, because it has been going on for two years, generously reported by media of all kinds, so the enablers knew exactly how the arms were to be used, as a tool for revenge, domination, and humiliation of the Palestinian people.  The conflict has ceased to be about the defense of anything for months.

The parties responsible have made a mockery of decency, morals, fairness, proportion, or justice, not to mention empathy.  Of what little there was, these concepts will be a lot longer to come back than they were to be struck down.  

Is it 1984 already?!?!
 ...

I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  I have tried a few times to get back into it but SoundCloud doesn't trust me.  Same phone number, same email addresses, and they still claim that they can't verify my identity.  I created that account about three years ago as a substitute to my regular account which SoundCloud temporarily closed.  They closed it as part of some upgrade procedure in their system, the result of a bug that affected many accounts, about two years ago.  Since SC did not inform its users I didn't know if that was permanent or not, so I created that other account which I can't access.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

This one here (957729823) is for regular folks.

I love you, both.

...

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.
...

My face and the bike are a courtesy of Joël Vaudreuil
[https://vimeo.com/user8897093]  ... Merci Joe!
I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
... Sorry Joe. =(
...

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
