Monolith was born into an imaginative landscape of relationality. The story, in its splendid form, is rooted in a fragmented gaze at the monolithic entity.

At its core, the monolith is a symbol of uniformity and stability. We see it, on the other hand, as a seamless blending of countless pieces, pieces from an all-encompassing past, present, and future. Be it our culture, our music, or our shared mythos. So we took the story of our imagined monolith within an eternally recurrent setting and told its story in a musical yet visceral form. Filling the space with its solid existence, the monolith became both the storyteller and the protagonist in this story. 

A fragmented soundscape is a recurrent theme throughout this album, descriptive of the timelessness and placelessness of our imagined cycle. Unexpected jumps and swinging moods are reminiscent to us of a protagonist’s cathartic ups and downs, and the sharp-edged rhythmic structure is our manifestation that dance is essential to this journey.

With a thrill on such pursuit, every track in this debut album contains a particle to represent the thriving evolution behind it. Who lends an ear to its lands, is free to discover its essence in their own way. After all, the monolith emerges and embraces every other.

"Que no muera nuestro canto" is the first Ka:lu's release on Hupupa records. It's deep, dark and meditative: like getting into the forest to find yourself and fight your fears. Stompy drums and a touch of psychedelia, will help the listeners to discover their guide spirit. The ancestral vocals makes you feel like you are a part of this delicate universe: all you have to do is getting involved in this shamanic dance and free your soul.

Listen to the song of the Hupupa.

From the relaxed and lyrical Italian countryside, has emerged a collective of modern musicians and artists who are bringing together the sounds of our future.

The sounds we need and yearn for most.

Music and experiences that connect people with their original nature, inspired by heart, dreams, true stories, slow living and warm, inviting times.

Remembering the beauty of nature and the rebellious ways of the upupa bird, Upupa Records is making way for organic, ethnic and downtempo music to have a place in the mainstream.

Defining often forgotten values of listening, visioning and connected, slow time.

Mousikē 80 | "Atlas" by Vecdaud

Ikaru is a musical duo that was born out of a pure desire of identification with the expanded consciousness of the expressive qualities. 

Originated in Ankara; Ikaru gets its main inspiration from the timeless and placeless resorts of human culture, intertwined both with beats and notes of antiquity as well as the mind-bending bleeps of synth-scapes. Insisting upon a genre-free overall style, the sound of Ikaru resonates within a range of eclectic electronic beats, indigenous instruments, and psychedelic techno, sometimes revisiting a lush ambient style.

In its essence, Ikaru seeks music that is "capable of expressing the inexpressible after silence" in Huxley's words.
