After a couple of tracks on compilations, LAZA joins INI Movement for the release of his first solo EP, 'Elements', a two-track EP that is exemplary for his warm, melodic sound.

Chock-full of 808 sounds and complemented with a good share of nasty synths, the track “Ferrum” refers to this track's strong and resilient sound. The characteristic chords and synths, which you'll hear more often in his music as well as his own vocals, really give it that distinctive LAZA-sound.

“Sunburst” takes you on a more abstract journey through time and space and draws you straight into the sun. Mystic chords and dancing bass lines are once again met with ever captivating drums.

About LAZA:
LAZA is a Producer/DJ hailing from Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Triggered by warm harmonies, melodies and rhythms found all over the musical spectrum, he developed a strong interest in music from a young age. Initially discovering his love for music behind the drums, he soon took an interest in sampling and beat-making when jazz and hip hop came into play. Through DJing later on, his musical style started to take a more electronic direction.

Nowadays, a sincere and experimental sound defines LAZA's music. It is oriented around Electronic Music and draws inspiration from disco, funk and jazz.

His first release, 'Revelations', was part of the 'Modern Intimacy' compilation on Carista's acclaimed United Identities imprint. The journey continued with 'WTBWH”, released by Darker Than Wax as part of their 'BODYCLOCK Vol.2' compilation, curated by Dean Chew. His first solo project will be released on INI Movement in 2022.

PREMIERE : LAZA - SunBurst

INSULA • noun • /ˌɪn.sjəˈlæ/
 Latin term meaning island.

An avatar that uses Indo-Oceanic rituals to bring different periods together as well as the rhythms of the north of the world to promote a Maloya-Afro-Futurist concept.

Through this pseudonym, Mickael Gravina takes his musical and sonic origins and uses them as an island (a starter, a nucleus) connected to the cosmos for our next release on Babani Records.

Concocted on the Red Island, we bring you the first two tracks "BONDIÉ MALOUBARY" and "KABARY", leading to his debut album "TRMBA" in December. The first one relating to a god from Madagascar and the latter to a ceremony.

INSULA, a multidisciplinary artist from Reunion Island, is interested in electronic music, or more specifically, in the "concrete music" that defines the sounds. This radically impresses itself on the listener. He comes face to face with a monster that lives by its own rules and norms, without making any concessions. Music is fascinating and it is capable of carrying within it a relationship to the world, something otherwise unspeakable.

His attempt at creating music is a kind of monster that, in truth, speaks to the globalised times we live in, a fusion of traditional and contemporary elements set to electronic and maloya music. It goes without saying that the mythology of the Indo-Oceanic, Malagasy, African, and many others nourish his creative production using a variety of instruments (Mauritians, Reunionese, Indians, Malagasy, and Creoles).

INSULA, this island where genders, races and cultures converge.

INSULA - BONDIÉ MALOUBARY

“AYE”, A yoruba saying which means Life.

AYE is an encouraging message wrapped in an uplifting song; to stay close to your inner child and the things that really matter in life.
When we are born we are not attached to money, power and material things. Love was the only force.

“Aye is the first single accompanied by a video clip from the collaboration between VASTO & JO BISSA leading up to the release of an EP in the spring of 2023”

Vasto RDL - Aye (Prod. JO BISSA)

Some cats they just get it. Daferwa for one is a cat you can say with reasonable confidence that he’s got it. You guessed it; he’s got it, and definitely flaunting it on the 3rd instalment of INI Movement’s Exclusive Seasonal Mix, the spring edition on the special occasion of 'Graefenthal Kloosterfestival 2014'.

Growing up in Tübingen, southwestern German, Daniel Fernando Wahl (Daferwa) got his start in music like most kids, through his parent’s record collection. Slowly he gravitated towards Hip Hop, R’n'B, Reggae, Dub, House and Latin music. Like needle on wax, young Daniel had found his groove. By age 15, with an arsenal of vintage mixer, Technics Automatic Turntable and a CD player, Daniel’s novice beat-making escapades were in full swing.  Over the course of two decades, Daferwa has being earning his stripes; as a matter of fact he’s got more stripes than a Zimbabwean zebra. 

For INI Movement’s 3rd seasonal mix exclusive, Daferwa has assembled a 54-minute innovative tropical session just in time for spring. Blending a wide range of genres from melodic Hip Hop, Dancehall and Cumbia to massive Moombahton, Electronic Beats and tropical influenced beats. 

Daferwa is rare musical breed of some sort roaming across the hinterlands of worldwide mash-up music. He’s more of a snow leopard wandering in the scorching Mohave dessert – a rare sight to catch nonetheless very possible. There you have it, the man took time out his uber dense schedule to whip up a damn applaudable mix. You need not applaud, but to listen with open ears whilst sipping a lukewarm chai latte on a fine spring day. This mix is the prequel to 'Graefenthal Kloosterfestival 2014' where Daferwa will accompany us for the summer sessions with host of other musicians from on the posse 13th of July.
