I often sit behind the magic machines without any aim of making a song, but for the sake of just making music for the moment, for myself to calm and get in this healing meditative state of mind. Sometimes I do not forget to press the record button and the results I will post here from time to time. Maybe you'd like to bath in these sounds too.

Misha Sultan - Aneh

Meta_ is Mariana Bragada, a singer, composer, and producer from the region of Trás-os-Montes in Northern Portugal. Her debut album, XIV - A Integração, is intimate and organic, with deeply emotive vocals and acoustic instrumentation, yet at the same time heavily features electronic production with deep bass and atmospheric soundscapes. She brings together elements of organic downtempo and trip-hop with ancestral wisdom and yearning vocals that express her hardships and fantasies while reflecting her Portuguese roots. 

XIV- A Integração is the sonic journey of Meta_, born in Trás-os-Montes Portugal, from her roots to South America. 
In 2019 she traveled to Pucallpa, Peru, where she had the opportunity and honor to connect with the Ayahuasca medicine plant and be in the presence of a family of Maestros and Maestras from the Shipibo tribe. Coincidentally, in the following 2 weeks, she performed Live Sound Design for Theatre shows of UmColetivo in Belo Horizonte, Brazil and Montevideo, Uruguay. 
This album is Meta_'s ode to Mother Earth and the human experience, highlighting the symbiosis of organic sound with electronics, tied together with her unique voice. 
Emotions, visions and lyrics are expressed in 3 languages ​​- Portuguese, Spanish and English. It is in this complementarity that a unique sonic universe is created, born of Portuguese ancestry united with the internal and external journeys of Meta_ across the world. 
The songs were written, composed and sung by Meta_ with 2 international collaborations - Labaq (Brazil) and Bom Beijo (Sweden) and percussionist Manu Idhra (PT). Meta_ produced the album, with Bom Beijo jointly producing 7 songs. 
This is the space for integrating Meta_'s life lessons. Beyond duality, this album is based on the colorful, intimate and empowering spectrum of revealing yourself to the world, just as you are, with fears, dreams, pain and love. It’s about death, about life, about being here. 
It was in South America that Meta_ was born again and, so far from the land where she lives, she felt at home. It is with this journey and its alchemy manifested in the album, that the common and cross-border value that music has of union, ancestry and healing is visibly awakened. 
“I use the roots as wings, I will be a flying tree.”

Blessed is the feeling here when listening to this celestial and mysterious beauty of a mix by @Pingipung's very own Heiko Gogolin (@heiko-h-gogolin). With an almost shamanic vision he weaves a web of rhythm and melody for many returning listening sessions. The working title fits the vibe so well that we had to keep it.  Steadily growing onme it has been great company for many late night work sessions in the bin HQ and I must really say it best fits the dark and calmer hours of the day - filling these with contemplative energy. 
THANK YOU SO MUCH, HEIKO!

Drums, percussion instrumentation and steady rhythms designed to balance and align the First Chakra. The First Chakra is the energy center associated with grounding, vitality, good health, being comfortable in body, stability, safety, prosperity, trust in the world, and the ability to be still.

The Muladhara Chakra is the first of the main seven chakras. Muladhara is the Sanskrit name for "root". This First Chakra is located at the base of the spine. Its paths of energy extend downward -like a root- through the legs and feet to connect with Mother Earth below. Its color is usually red and its symbol is a lotus of four petals, within which there is a downward-pointing triangle, symbolizing the root energy.

It is a Sound Healing principle that drums, percussion instrumentation and steady rhythms are beneficial to balance and align the First Chakra . Those are precisely the ingredients of this track, 1st Chakra Dance.

Raga Darbari kaanada - vocal

Shika Shika Collective is proud to present “De aquí hasta aquí”, the debut album by percussionist and producer Federico Estévez.

You may know Fede as the drummer and percussionist for Chancha Vía Circuito´s live band, having made a reputation around the world for his rhythmic virtuosity and trademark broken beats.

Following “Hologramas” the captivating opening track on Shika Shika’s “Mare Insularum” compilation, “De aquí hasta aquí” is Fede’s first full-length release. On it he shares with us his complex, poly-rhythmic universe through nine tracks uniting his own South American origins, with African rhythms and featuring collaborations with Rodrigo Gallardo, Pablo Paz, Wen, Manu Quintans, Klik & Frik and Chancha vía Circuito.

In the words of Pedro Canale a.k.a. Chancha vía Circuito:

“Federico Estévez is one of Buenos Aires' most versatile musicians - at once an incredible producer and formidable percussionist. Restless by nature, Federico is constantly experimenting with rhythms. He is also a prolific creator, equally at home making original percussive lines or beautiful melodies.

Fede’s creative process often starts with him playing a rhythm out on the kitchen table, on a desk or on chairs. These ideas...  more
