Bag of Hopes Remixes Album is about transformation. It tells the story of a magical alchemy process where, in the blink of an eye, something is no longer what it used to be.

It's about hearing the music and moving to it differently every time. In essence, it's an album about dance music

Niv Ast - Candolila (Elfenberg Remix)

Leonor - Yo Soy

Toronto based @Dacou serves up the latest instalment in the Sinchi Edits series.

Words from the man himself...

'Kenedougou Foly' is a song kindred to its composer, Neba Solo - both are rooted in the historical and cultural legacy of Mali and Western Africa. Hailing from the Kenedougou region of southeastern Mali, Solo and the balafon (modified xylophone) masterclass he provides on the title track of his debut album are a fitting tribute to his homeland, the historic Kenedougou Kingdom of the Traorè dynasty.

The song begins with an invocation or call to attention "Ayeh Na”, as Neba Solo begins to provide commentary on the socio-economic issues faced by the people of Kenedougou. The song also speaks about the environmental degradation of the land and acknowledges the struggles faced by its people, while calling for collective action from the world to address these issues facing Western Africa.

I chose this particular song because I’ve always appreciated the sound and emotional response of West African music, Mali in particular. From Oumou Sangare and Fatoumata Diawara to the Tuareg sounds of Bombino and Tinariwen, Malian sounds resonate worlds over despite people not immediately understanding the words being spoken. Kenedougou Foly is such a track that just elicits a heartfelt feeling, stemming from Neba Solo’s infectious vocals, a call and response from backup vocalists, as well as his prodigious bafalon playing that is at the core of his genius.

My approach was quite simple. As folk songs of this archetype are usually bereft of electronic or Western dance elements, I added what I felt was necessary to provide a high-energy and hard-hitting version to be played out and played loud. Starting and ending with Neba Solo’s call for attention seemed fitting, sandwiched between Italo-style arp bass, some 303 acid sounds, and a 4/4 beat to tie everything together.

SINCHI EDITS 23 - Neba Solo - Kenedougou Foly (Dacou Edit)

After the successful launch of "Recuerdo Futuro" produced by Moisees and ZEA, both based in CDMX; we all decided to re-release it as an EP, now loaded with remixes and a new original. “Recuerdo Futuro “is a flash of the forgotten rave parties of the nineties, the nostalgia of a past that was not lived. For the second original “Ondas” it combines House, trance and some Indie vibes, as a result it’s a dancefloor killer.

Followed by the remixes, for the first remix we have one of the most talented producers in Mexico and founder of Duro together with Moisees, Theus Mago, arrives with a "Sexy" and quite groovy version. Followed by the Mexican star Mystery Affair, who lands with a very trance and acidic remix. Finally we have a new collaboration between Ludviq & Rina, with a darker and deeper remix, with hypnotic and mystical vocals, perfect to close the EP.

The Ep is  well-crafted offering some unique sound, while maintaining a cohesive theme and vibe. It's a testament to the creativity and collaboration, definitely one of our finest releases.

'A few months back, while crate-digging at the record shop, I unearthed an 80s gem: Boytronic - You. Inspired by its vibe, I decided to craft a fresh edit, aiming to honor the track while getting closer to my own sound. After years of exploring different styles and genres, I found myself gravitating towards the allure of "B-sides", dark disco, and driving basslines. The edit is available for free download on bandcamp and it’s a prequel to my upcoming EP “Madness” releasing this May on La Dame Noir Records.' - Modeca

After an impressive string of releases on Sinchi, NEIN, Mélopée, Weirdos among others, Munich-based vagabond Alemao drops his luggage for the first time on HIFI/LOFI, with an EP highlighting the variety of his skills and influences, ranging between psychedelic and heady Deep Indie Dance to overdriven Techno-Disco synth escapades, and beautifully closed by a remix from the master of cosmic explorations, el grande Rigopolar.

Having lived in Berlin, Paris, Hamburg & Barcelona among other cities, Alemao has been soaking up music in Europe’s most renowned house & techno clubs for more than a decade. He started gracing the face of the world with vibrating air molecules in Dublin in 2016 where he has not only earned his nickname ‘Alemao’ but also played regularly at Pygmalion, sharing bills with the likes of Âme, Jennifer Cardini or The Drifter.

Written & produced shortly after his daughter saw the light of day, the collection of tunes opens with Akyre, where Alemao takes us in a rather dark and stomping Italo territory, accompanied by a haunting voice (which is actually one of the most used vocal samples in history, but we’ll leave the mystery hanging there). 

On Spatzi, Alemao unfolds a headier side of his sound, where dizzying synth sequences flirt with overdriven guitar-like synths, before closing the round of originals with the eponymous ‘Paranoid Disco Dub’ - as the name suggests, a more experimental cut with references to Deep Dub-Techno & Psychedelia, where one could easily get lost dancing together with his own mind in the deep shadows of a dark and sweaty club.

Last but not least, Rigopolar also makes his first appearance on HIFI/LOFI by delivering a sublime and very filmic revision of Akyre, which makes us want to ask the universe if we could please have a combined sequel of Drive and Stranger Things coming out soon itohave his remix landing on the ending credits, someone please make it happen.

Release Title: Zur Xtasy 
Artist: Ton Globiter
Label: Wrong Era
Catalogue No.: WEDIGIT012
Release-Date: May 9th

Promotext:

' After his seminal release, ‘Kaunas is the New London’, Lithuanian visionary Ton Globiter returns to Wrong Era with ‘Zur Xtasy’, an emotive, intelligent dancefloor gem. Once again, binding the Acid and Proto realms with elegant innovation. His signature metallic vocals rip throughout each track, accentuating the record’s enticing energy. ‘Yaze Gaze’ propels you into Globiter’s unmistakable percussion and flawless arpeggiated acid hooks. 


The slick  ‘French Line’ displays an innate gift for integrating his distinctive style into genre-bending production. Tasteful nods to late 90s breaks and Chicago-house sit within the depths of ‘Zur Xtasy’s’ tantalizing world. The endlessly infectious acidic flow of ‘Schweiß’ throws you into a mesmeric peak time hit where commanding vocals slice through. From beginning to end, ‘Zur Xtasy’ solidifies Globiters' ability to amaze consistently, pushing sonic boundaries with captivating, masterful skill. '

The highest goal of music is to connect soul to its divine nature, not just entertainment :)

ॐ//om -The great primordial sound, the original sound from which the universe was created, the sound of all sounds together. According to Hindu metaphysics everything is made of sounds (vibrations), since everything is sound, healing through it, is an ancient ritual, as sound is not only heard through our ears but vibrates within every cell of our bodies.

kosha (Sanskrit कोश, IAST: kośa), usually rendered "sheath", the covering of the Atman, or Self. 

kośa is a soundsmith who brings you a flavour mixing - downtempo, acid house, minimal//deep-tech ranging from 80 to 120 bpm, electronic yet organic tunes, deep hypnotic meditative grooves and solid kicks infused with Indian, Arabic and other Ethnic influences which we beautifully term 'spiritual deeptech' a genre coined by kośa, rooted in the deepest part of India's underground scene.

For us at kosa records this network gives space to connect ideas of various forms to do art for art's sake - not for social recognition. to break the rules of systematic exploitation of the artist's energy and to feel the soul in synchonicity.
there are no limits, as there is no mind. 

We consumed too much music and it started to leak and this is when kośa evolved into a record label in January 2019 with the release of their first various artists compilation Mīmāṃsā, though the real beginnings were with our Podcast series the raga saga https://soundcloud.com/kosamusica/sets/the-raga-saga where in we showcase an hour of beautiful music from our favorite artists from around the world.

33% of all proceeds are donated to Mountain Village Foundation that aims at educating the underprivileged women and children in the northern parts of India.
