12” Double LP + Digital  
CAT# MAGIC021 
Date: September 2021 
Genre: Downtempo 

We are thrilled to present you the first full-length album by Xavier Fabre and Bibiana Graeff aka Xique- Xique! 

Following the flow of their first “Xaxoeira“ EP (which means „Waterfalls“ in Portuguese, but spelled in a poetic way) the Album sets an artistic landmark at „Na Lagoa“ (At the Lake).  

The 10 album tracks were composed during the last three years between Istanbul, Bangkok, and Heliodora (Brazil). Especially from this tropical haven, you will find plenty of field recordings throughout the album, like the bird called „Siriema“ in the same-titled track. Besides the Xique-Xique trademark sound featuring crispy beats, organic percussions, bell-like synth sounds, and a lot of love for the detail you will find Bibiana herself as well as Bruna Takasse (the voice of „Xaxoeira“) on Vocal duties.  „Na Lagoa“ is structured as Dawn, Midday, Nightfall and Midnight, and invites you to spend the day at an imaginary lake. In the water, you feel the warm synth textures enclosing you just before cascades of arpeggios start to drop into your ear. Once on the other bank, you wander around and observe the fantastic flora and fauna: dubby effects fly by like surreal bugs, mesmerizing synth themes roaming the scenery like bewitched wild animals that welcome you in a dreamlike future-jungle-fantasy. 

Now come, and follow Bibiana's invitation "Sobe no Tapete voador”

 Climb on the flying carpet and come to the Lake. Your dreams are already there.

We always want to introduce you to the artists behind the music. In this case it is Pedro aka @meraki4

He wrote a little text about the meaning of the song for him:

"Gezellig" pronounced like “Huhg-zell-hgick” is a word that I got in touch right when I arrived to Amsterdam and it has a very beautiful meaning: a blend of simple pleasures like cosiness, togetherness, conviviality, jolliness, contentedness.

And of course we also asked him three questions:

1) What is your favorite book to read?,
My favourite book to read is Sidarta by Hermann Hesse

2)if you were a super-hero, what powers would you have?
 My superpowers would be ultra fast flying skills, teleportation, being able to raise my chi and change my appearance when I hit a certain level, shoot beams from my hands and super strenght, pretty much like the main character of Dragon Ball 🐉

3) What's the longest you've gone without sleep (and why)?
  The longest I've went without sleeping was during a summer solstice festival in Belgium where after not sleeping for one night me and two friends were supposed to close the main stage with a b3b at around 6pm and we ended up playing till 8am because everybody was having a lot of fun and didn't want to leave

Vinzoo - Hemisphere Sud (Rafael Aragon Remix) [Urban Cosmonaut Radio, 2023]

Can you guess what world peace issue this song is about? 

And by "world peace", I do mean world peace... if only humans were humble, empathetic, and educated enough (aka wise enough) to understand righteous vengeance is nothing but an ancient power hungry rhinoceros myth, and violence always ripples so far, far beyond their own short-sighted ego spheres of rationalization, bleeding throughout many generations. 

This song is yet another peace prayer, for the better not the worse #together and shared with much #hope and #compassion for ALL who did, do, and will suffer from bloody hatred, chosen entitlement, and nonsensical injustice  🌍 🕊️💨 

☩ ☩ ☩
@bananasutra lyrics:

[intro]
Soaring above bloody ashes,
Rising like love’s the only breath
That blooms like hope
Not doom in trope…

[verse 1]
Sparks of snark never heal, they only burn,
Barks of sharks never help, they only churn,
At the love
Of a dove.

[verse 2]
Preachers of vengeance dressed in light,
Call it justice, call it right,
But no bomb can bless a child,
In the womb of hate gone wild.

[chorus]
Raise your heart to peace, not war,
Blessed be the faith we’re fighting for,
Let mercy rise to bliss, let it prove
We dare to care for the love of a dove…

[bridge]
Why praise the wound, deny the tear?
Preaching for safe, by planting fear?
If truth is right, then we shall see
No holy blame can set us free.

[chorus, soaring]
Raise your heart to peace, not war,
Blessed be the faith we’re fighting for,
Let mercy rise to bliss, let it prove
We dare to care for the love of a dove.

[outro, gentle]
Let’s lay the anger in the dust.
Let’s be holy, return to trust...
And when they ask what we’re made of
Hum: “The love, the love of a dove.”

-------------------------------------

"Ramas" (branches in Spanish) is El Búho’s third album of original material and stands for a celebration of the art of collaboration. Featuring 19 collaborations with artists from 12 countries, the album was born organically out of collaborations, mutual appreciation or a desire to experiment and try something new. 

Some of the tracks were started in person, such as "Sky City", born out of a spaghetti-western jam in Thornato’s Queens studio or "Gaviota" inspired by the the seagulls of Brighton following a shared show with Rumbo Tumba in the city. Meanwhile others such as "Elefta" with Hungarian producer Stas or "Kuuma" a track made with Finnish multi-instrumentalist QOSQI were created over long-distance with the producers never actually meeting face to face. The album also contains tracks from long-term friends and collaborators like Chancha Via Circuito, Barda and Wonderwheel head-honcho Nickodemus. 

Musically the album references the blend of Latin American traditional music with original electronic music on tracks such as "Resiliencia" with legendary Chilean producer DJ Raff, an homage to the recent protest movement in Chile, or "Absolut," a track sculpted from an unfinished melodic idea by Argentine electro-folk trio Tremor. Meanwhile songs like "Nevar" and "Kif Kif Kuf Kuf" with Didacte and Kraut, both part of the Shika Shika collective, take El Búho’s sound in a new direction, embracing a more melodic or impactful and rhythmic electronica. 

At its heart of "Ramas" was Perkins’ desire to challenge himself creatively, forcing him to see his own ideas and production style from a different angle or see ideas started in one direction come back completely transformed by the collaborator. The result is at once surprising and diverse but El Búho’s signature sound and aesthetic is the thread that runs through all of the tracks, the trunk to each branch. 

Carrying on the spirit of collaboration, El Búho made an open call for collaborations with dancers & choreographers in his community. Overwhelmed by the response, the album is accompanied by 18 original choreographies by dancers and dance groups from 12 different countries, from Mexico to Taiwan, South Africa or the Galapagos Islands. Each chose the track that most inspired them and shot a video of their dance in a unique and beautiful natural location, in doing so creating yet more ramas or branches for the project.
