Since their break-through performance at Sónar in 2005, Booka Shade have earned huge recognition with their innovative live shows, even being named one of Resident Advisor's Top 5 live acts in the world in 2010. They have opened for Depeche Mode, and headlined stages at Coachella, Glastonbury, Rock Werchter, and Red Rocks just to name a few.

20 years, dozens of EP’s and 6 albums later, Booka Shade have become more than a household name, they have become synonymous with the spirit which drives electronic music and have set a precedent to which electronic music is still held to today.

Recently the duo were in Australia to play at Pitch Music & Arts and Days Like This festivals. Ahead of their tour they found some time to deliver an exclusive mix for Triple J's Mix Up...

18 months after the well-received debut, Get Physical serve up a second instalment of their Cocada series as curated by Brazilian hero Leo Janeiro. In this second volume, which was mixed by the Brazilian DJ and Producer Marye, artists from Argentina, Colombia, Bolivia, Cuba and Mexico participate alongside Brazilian talents.

The initial idea was to showcase new and fresh productions in the Brazilian music scene, and now Cocada: The Second Season broadens the horizons. Says series A&R Janiero, “We realised that Cocada could spread throughout all Latin America, that is why our idea is to seek out local talents from right across this region. This is the pillar of Cocada: promote music made by Latin American DJs and producers to the rest of the world.”

Marye is a new name that emerged in the Brazilian electronic scene and opens the compilation with the hypnotic’ Zenith,' then 20 year veteran Bruce Leroys's ‘Liberdade’ takes a stroll through deep house with dramatic vocal samples. Label boss Roland Leesker contributes a touch of suspense and tension, remixed by IVA who originates from Bolivia and now lives in Barcelona, Mexican duo Reptare invest in more dramatic and ethereal sounds, and Warung regulars Albuquerque and Kaiq collaborate on a delicious house track.

Mezomo comes from the south of Brazil, and is head of the Sunset Sessions parties and here offers something full of Kwaito/gqom/afrohouse influences. Argentinean Paulo Malde aka Who Else is an old acquaintance of those who enjoy deep house, then comes another contribution from Argentina, the brothers Agustin and Nicolás Festa, who together form Anhauser and serve up the hypnotic and seductive ‘Rebone’

Elsewhere is a veteran of the DJ booths of Brazil, Rodrigo Ferrari, Fran Bortolossi from Caxias do Sul who comes up with a house track that would fit like a glove in sweaty basements of Chicago in the 90’s, and chic and elegant grooves from Caio Stanccione’s. Leo Janeiro and Nuno Deconto, both part of the first compilation, appear together in this second volume with ‘Chima,’ a deep house cut full of personality that turns into a perfect anthem to put your hands
up in the air. Saulo Ferraro—an exponent of the bustling electronic music scene in Rio de Janeiro— then ups the ante with some outstanding tech house. The power of the Cuban groove is brought to bear on ‘Carajillo’, making it impossible to stay still as Havana duo PAUZA, AKA Paula Fernandez and Zahira Seanchez, do their thing. Finally Claudia Assef closes things out with a classy techno leaning affair.

This is a multicultural trip through Latin tinged house music that makes for fantastic listening and is being supported by an extensive tour, details of which can be found below.

Cocada, a project which emerged as a diffuser of the musical talent present throughout Latin America, quickly spread its sounds to the four corners of the world, becoming a great initiative for electronic music. We couldn't be happier by this time, Cocada's first release as a record label is born with some respected artists and a beautiful story behind. 

The wonderful artwork was illustrated by the Brazilian artist Paula Dornelles, who dedicates herself to the production of experimental artworks, she was able to convey through all her creative potential the depth of the meaning present in the word "freedom", a small sample of Latin American talent also in the visual arts.

On the album, who begins the work is the Brazilian duo, Diogo Vaille and Marcelo Abreu aka Bruce Leroys, with "Liberdade" (Original Vocal Version), a rework of a classic MPB song. The artists managed to perfectly merge the melancholy voice present in the song with a deep and dense bass line, bringing all the emotion present in the lyrics, causing goosebumps.

However, the duo isn't alone in this release. None other than Ricardo Villalobos has also left his trademark with a great remix, featuring fuller grooves and inserting multiple textures for the track. Finally, Trepanado brought all his dance floor experience and rich musical baggage to print a delicious version, worthy of a good Cocada! It was the plurality that the debut release needed. Enjoy it without moderation!



Português

O Cocada, projeto que surgiu como um difusor do talento musical presente em toda a América Latina, rapidamente propagou suas sonoridades para os quatro cantos do mundo tornando-se uma iniciativa grandiosa para a música eletrônica. Não poderíamos estar mais felizes por este momento, o primeiro release do Cocada como gravadora ganhou a luz do dia com a participação de alguns artistas ilustres com uma linda história por trás.

A belíssima capa foi ilustrada pela brasileira Paula Dornelles, artista dedicada à produção de artes experimentais que conseguiu transmitir através de todo seu potencial criativo a profundidade do significado presente na palavra liberdade, uma pequena amostra do talento latino-americano também nas artes visuais. 

No disco, quem abre os trabalhos é o duo brasileiro Diogo Vaille e Marcelo Abreu aka Bruce Leroys com “Liberdade” (Original Vocal Version), uma releitura de um clássico da música popular brasileira. Os artistas conseguiram unir perfeitamente a voz melancólica presente na canção com uma linha de baixo densa e profunda, evocando toda a emoção presente na letra que chegam a causar arrepios.

Mas a dupla não está sozinha neste release. Ninguém menos que Ricardo Villalobos também deixou sua marca registrada com um ótimo remix, apresentando grooves mais cheios e inserindo múltiplas texturas para a faixa. Por fim, Trepanado trouxe toda sua experiência de pista e rica bagagem musical para imprimir uma versão deliciosa de saborear, digna de uma boa cocada! Era a pluralidade que o release de estreia precisava. Aprecie sem moderação.

Bruce Leroys - Liberdade (Ricardo Villalobos Nao Ficar Com Deus Remix) (Snippet)

El remix que Ricardo Villalobos hizo de "Liberdade" es una interesante pieza que expone el virtuosismo del productor, dejando una marca en la edición N°1 de Cocada, jugando con una serie de ritmos más completos alrededor del vocal sentido, insertando múltiples texturas con su característica estampa minimalista que parece siempre buscar el horizonte más inalcanzable de las mentes con hipnótica proyección.

Sonja, how are you keeping – please tell us about the mix..

How am i keeping? as usual, slowly ;) I’m going on in my own flow, where my interest leads me. I’ve been working the last 5 months on a soundtrack for the Swiss tv’s new branding. that was a new experience, quite challenging I must say. Now it’s over and I can focus on electronic music again. A couple of remixes are in the oven, amongst them one for Adil Hiani, a great Marrocain artist from Cosmo Records and I do my little techno travels, as I say, as usual.

This mix is a very long tale, but I doubt anyone has the interest in reading about it! To make a long story short, when Daniel asked me to provide him with a mix for the 11th Lomidhigh Mixtape, I was very pleased and remembered our few encounters, like at Culture-Box in Copenhagen, where it sounds raw. I don’t do many podcast, the few I did were always going everywhere, from quiet sounds to jumping tunes so this time I decided to make a complete club mix, from beginning to end. raw and straight! For sure it’s not one to be listen to in the bedroom on Sundays ;)

Where was the mix recorded? How was the atmosphere?

It was recorded live in one shot at the Milk Klub – r.i.p – in Geneva at the end of February, on a sunny Friday morning, when the club was actually closed. I’ve spent many nights in there, although the club only existed for less than a year, felt really happy to do it there at this time.

What got you into dj’ing?

I think as every DJ, I was first a clubber, or maybe better said a raver. As your musical taste refines, you slowly feel the need to feed yourself with that particular sound you might not find at every party, so I started to buy records, and equipment. At this time, Geneva had a great underground scene, and it was not difficult to ocupy free spaces to throw parties. basements, warehouses, openair gravel pits.. I was 17. At the end it’s like a teenage hobby that lasts forever. or do we call it passion?

How is the techno/house scene in Geneve ? Daria told me that you used to play together at Weetamix with Luciano and herself… Was that when you started as a dj?

No, actually that was already like a good 5 years later. Weetamix is the only good and real club we’ve ever had here. As I said before we had a fantastic alternative scene in Geneva, but that was a long time ago. When I started to play regularly at Weetamix, that other underground scene was seeing it’s places disappearing one after the other, to a nearly total vanishing point today. The potential has always been there, and it’s still the case today, but our politicians have decided differently. They prefer a clean international image to a vibrant and creative alternative society.

What was your childhood dream to do as a grown up?

oh, I had many, but it always had to do with gathering people together in order to share something in common.

You’ve been playing a lot of different places around the world, which city do you enjoy the most?

Every city has it’s ups and downs, and what I like the most is despite the small size of our electronic community, you will find the same dance moves, groove knowledges and smile over the faces in every one of them.

What is your favourite club?

always this question ;) I don’t really have a favourite place to play in particularity, I already have many in mind while writting these words! so, ok, to name just a few, past, present and future: Club der Visionaere in Berlin, for that so special freedom feeling you don’t get anywhere else – Kruthuset in Stockholm, for the ever changing creative structure – Arma 17 in Moscow, for the massive, yet sensual effect – Weetamix in Geneva, for all the memories..

..and for you, what makes a club a good club?

well, a balanced mixture of everything, good audience, good promoters, good artists, good soundsystem, good lightening.. and that little plus you can’t really name, that makes it rumble just dirty enough to get yourself loose.

and then please come up with your top 5 picks.. (can be anything you choose)

ok, so let’s do a top 5 bedroom afterhour classics!

He said (Graham Lewis) – Pump
Ketty Lester – Love letters
Maurice Ravel – Ondine (Gaspard de la nuit)
Miles Davis – L’ascenceur pour l’échafaud (Soudtrack of the movie by Louis Malle)
Chris Isaak – Wicked games

Bent-swollen (Ben Watt Vocal Mix)

Dear friends 

I cannot give you the Sound of the Season as I have for so many years. Right around now. One of my favourite missions.

We lost our season.

But I hope I can still reach you. 

I cannot describe in words how much I miss you all. It shakes my soul not to have a couple of turntables and a mixer and most of all you out there in front of me. Creating little bits of history together.

I offer this mix to keep us going - a very rare live club recording for you - from this year ... It comes from the heart. From my heart to yours 

Love Sven
