MFM: Hi Ana, welcome aboard the series. How's your been summer so far?

CM: Hi. Thank you! Today, I came back from We Out Here, very inspired and happy. So, right now I would say this summer I have been very lucky. I was able to travel, to play in many nice parties, and festivals with lovely crowds (big and small), met many of my friends, and made new friends.

MFM: You're originally from Saltillo, Mexico. Can you tell us a bit about growing up there?

CM: It is a city in the north of Mexico. Desert and mountains. Quite a big city. My parents are very musical people and I grew up surrounded by music and family and friends. My mom and dad always made efforts to inspire us, triggered our curiosity and they love road trips so we traveled a lot in Mexico when I was a kid.

MFM: I've read you left your studies in Mexico and moved to Europe. What was the reason for this change?

CM: I finished my university studies (Education Science and Psychology) and literally, the day after I got my diploma ( 22nd of June) I left and have been living in Europe since then. I always wanted to travel and get to know other places. When I was 18, I went to Berlin with my friend Olga, and I fell in love with the city immediately. I was very determined to go and live there. I felt it was the city and energy I needed at that time: it worked out, with a 4 years diversion through London.

MFM: Mexico knows a different culture and traditions when compared to Europe. What would you say are the main differences?

CM: At the beginning the differences were very strong to me: food, weather, people, shops, now 11 years later, the biggest difference are the daily life worries. For example, In Amsterdam, I rarely feel unsafe in the street. There are more opportunities to develop, grow and do what you love, without worrying about your personal safety or so much corruption. In Mexico, the weather and nature are amazing. The food and the warmth of the people is something I miss quite often.

MFM: This year saw your compilation 'Club Coco' being released in collaboration with Swiss label Les Disques Bongo Joe and which features all new music. How did you get to this particular selection of artists and songs?

CM: The first song I wanted to include was “A big Brain” by my friend Nic Mauskovic because I felt this had to be out there. That was what initiated the project and I curated it thinking of a line up... Imagine having all these bands together! Most of the bands are my friends or I have worked with them, it went naturally and felt very familiar.

MFM: It also includes a track of yourself, which is a highly rhythmic percussive work out with lots of brass and your vocals dubbed on top. Can you show a bit of insight in the writing and recording process of the song? Did you work with live musicians for example?

CM: The initiative was from my friend Max Weissenfeldt. He is a brilliant musician, composer and runs the label Philophon. We want to make a Jazz album. This is our first song and we recorded it in Berlin. Then he moved to Ghana, I moved to Amsterdam. And the pandemic hit. I have not seen him since january 2020! Max recorded the music with a live band in Ghana and their names are Pitches, Osei and Kung Fu´u. 

MFM: Do you have more ambition in producing your own works? Perhaps there's something in the pipeline already? 
Would love to finish that jazz album with Max, while he is in Ghana: we will work on the distance. 

MFM: Google Translate says the title 'Me Veo Volar' means 'I See Myself Fly'. Is there a nice story behind the title maybe? :)

CM: “Me veo volar” is about getting rid of fears that weigh you down… and making space for what you really want and take off! At that time I was having some realizations :)

After a long break, we are back with our Pointcast series. We are very happy to have our good friend from Antwerp, @hofmann_bsc, for this special audio trip. We met him and his Oridoo partner Yela last summer and got connected straight away. 

"In this podcast you will find everything i love in music, from weird vocals, to raga indian dub , minimalistic paces & psychedelic grooves, some own productions, personal edits and a touch of perlon where it all began. Also an ode to my dear irmao Sean, let this give you strength and energy. 

Enjoy and lots of love, 
Hofmann"

Pointcast VIII - Hofmann

"Me quito el disfraz que se lleva mis caras 
te veo llevar un aurora a distancia y es nada.
Escucho su tos y escucho las miserias 
pero la verdad esa es su corteza de placer.
Tés de alquitrán y brebajes de sal
 te van a cuidar
 y  nunca esperas 
lo que siempre pensás, 
es solo mutar.

Y de a ratos me caigo es un impasse, es muy casual, 
si.. de nuevo lo embarro.

Siempre hay un barniz que se quita al instante,
solo cuando va, solo cuando renace y es amor.

Busco la virtud dentro de mi inconsciencia,
quiero reclamar el fruto de la esencia en mi alma.

Y se caen las hojas y así el ciclo retorna...

Mentes mediocres... 

Sombra Del Yo

Letra: "Al ver tensión podrás probar en sofocar, podrás lamer algo peor,
Sin remisión particular, sin revivir eso que amás, te hace vivir...

Mi condición de volar, de llorar , de mirar,
De ayudarte una vez más para llegar a ver el sol 
y amigarte un poco...

Tu caída, que no ves
-...y es que estoy herida!
Mírame como antes lo hacías 
y es que estoy junto a tu espejo

Ando loco...pero un poco.

Nada excusable
En tu ultramar y feliz degradé 
como yo ...


Degradé

Letra: Tremenda opulencia, carencia de esencia esta soledad
Que miento, que crezco, que ofendo queriendo mi trip escapar.
La música ríe en mis alas que ofusca todo al quemar el destello de la luz
Puede la vida pasar...puede la herida sangrar.
Algo de esto es tuyo.
-Es tarde
-No es tarde
-Es tarde
-Esto arde.
La música ríe en mis alas que ofusca todo al quemar el destello de tu luz.

Y caí en el magia de tu risa
Y caí en el fuego de esta herida
Y prendí en el sueño la ceniza
Cabe en este cielo toda brisa.

Puede la herida pasar... puede la vida sangrar
Algo de esto es tuyo..

Trip

Letra:
Toma color mi cicatriz sobre el percal de los astros de sal
(Descose un sueño)
Proyecto el sol en un plano tan fragil que huyo de mi otra vez
(Todo es abstracto)
No ves en mi... beso la hiel. 
Procuro que el viento se lleve todas las sombras

Trato de vivir en tus manos hoy aquí, son aguas para mi...

Cruje el dolor en un zaguan, ahogo el mar en tus penas de cal
(Se hace más fuerte)
Me adentro más en el jardin (oh!) haz de luz ya no me dejes más en este cielo.

Cuanto que perdí sobre mi alma, me excedí tal cual fué tu razón

Solo queda este suelo, tu voz, luces y vuelos,
Y un fulgor para mi...
