Diaspora Echoes launches with Andy Martin's 'Antiguos Astronautas', a futuristic techno long-player exploring an immersive sci-fi narrative

‘Ancient American cultures usually are seen as something that belongs only to history books and museums, collapsed civilizations with no relevance in our modern world. With the album concept, I would like to make a narrative of these cultures set in a futuristic sci-fi scenario. This is the soundtrack to it.’ - Andy Martin

The LP is based on ‘Ancient Astronauts’, who are believed to be pre-Columbian civilizations possessing advanced knowledge lost to the world and questions what would happen if this technology became accessible in our contemporary universe. The album sees us deciphering mysterious transmissions in the opening tracks before venturing deep into the jungle in ‘Tula’ and ‘Copal’. We enter the machine in ‘Teoria Sintergica’ and ‘Selva Lacandona’, while ‘Electromagnetica’ and ‘Dr. Grindberg’ explore the theories behind the science. Beyond any doubt, ‘Antiguos Astronautas’ is a true masterpiece of storytelling that leaves the listener yearning for more.

Known for his fusion of dub and techno influences, Mexican-Jamaican producer Andy Martin has become a staple in the South American music scene and beyond, frequently DJing in Mexico, wider Latin America and Europe. Owner of an impressive release tally across scores of international labels, he now launches the Diaspora Echoes imprint with a conceptual science fiction album titled ‘Antiguos Astronautas’, featuring artwork referencing a futuristic reinterpretation of the ancient pre-Columbian symbol for movement or motion, the ‘Ollin’.

Have you ever seen a funky crustacean? Well @djslappycrab is about as funky as you can get with two claws and no spine. Known for slappin’ out UK garage, house and breaks, this saltwater selector has the benefit of millions of years of evolution and almost a decade behind the decks. Starting out life on the sea floor, he eventually washed up on the golden shores of Laois, Ireland, where during his formative years he mutated into humanoid form. The next logical destination was Berlin: UKG capital of the world - where he crabwalked his way into our hearts.

//Was bedeutet deine Musik für dich?//
Zum einen fasziniert mich wie die Tracks, die ich spiele, aufgebaut sind. Ihre Struktur, der Rhythmus oder auch einfach einzelne Elemente. Zum anderen transportiert Musik für mich Emotionen und bestimmt oft meine Stimmung. Ich möchte mit meinen Sets vor allem positive Gefühle erzeugen und hoffe, dass die Menschen, die sie hören, eine gute Zeit und Bock auf Tanzen haben. 

//Woher nimmst du deine Inspiration?//
Hauptsächlich von anderen (Lieblings-)Künstler*innen. Oft suche ich bewusst nach neuer Musik und orientiere mich dabei an Artists, Labels oder Sets, die ich mag. Außerdem höre ich generell sehr viel Musik und stolpere so immer wieder über neue Tracks. Aber auch auf Events finde ich oft Musik, die ich in meine Sets einbaue.

//Was muss sich deiner Meinung nach an der Szene ändern?//
Auch wenn sich schon einiges getan hat, würde ich sagen, dass die Szene diverser und offener werden muss. Ich sehe immer noch viel zu wenig BiPoC, FLITNA* oder queere DJs hinter dem Pult oder kann Musik, die sie produzieren, kaum finden. Auch wenn bei Events auf Diversität geachtet wird, fehlt die strukturelle Ebene oder die konsequente Umsetzung von Konzepten dann leider doch zu oft und die Gestaltung der Räume wird - gern über Vitamin B - von denselben weißen cis-Dudes dominiert.

Let’s get freaky

Borokov Borokov serves up a sticky, swampy and loose, wonked-out,version of what is originally a dark breakbeat-inspired song. “We were aiming for the musical equivalent of watching someone you love slithering away forever in slow motion as blue turns to orange and the temperature drops and all you have left is music, memory, and half of whatever it was that someone slipped into your back pocket in a backroom at Pikes. The hardiest of party-goers weeping,… tears running down their tastefully crumpled linen shirts.”
