Cajarana is André Sousa’s latest musical moniker and a proud member of the Zenon Records roster, a label renowned for pushing the boundaries of psychedelic electronic music. The project evolved from GRUB, a dark progressive collaboration with Fernando Rodrigues (Psyjar) that saw releases on respected labels like Maia Brasil Records, Glitchy Tonic Records, and Zenon Records itself. 

Now, as a solo artist, the Portuguese producer and DJ delves into immersive, sci-fi psy techno soundscapes, crafted with deep, trancy undertones that transport listeners on an intense sonic journey through cosmic realms and futuristic frontiers.

Cajarana’s music draws from the depths, telling a story that originates from the belly of the beast, where raw, psychedelic flavors and growling sounds overlap. Each track unfolds like a narrative woven with dark textures and relentless energy, striking a unique balance between the primal and the cerebral. Known for his unapologetically fast-paced and intense sets, Cajarana combines intricate sound design with stomping beats that are not for the faint-hearted.

Prepare to be immersed in a soundscape where boundaries are meant to be pushed and conventions left behind. Fasten your seatbelts – with Cajarana, it’s going to be a bumpy ride!

Jama ist der Italian Stallion der Berliner Clubs. Angefangen zwischen den Zypressen der Toskana, ist er mit seinem kleinen roten Fiat in der Bar25 gelandet und hat dort die schönsten aller endlos-Sets gespielt. Heute kann der Resident des KaterBlau Hippie-Fest und geheime Hype-Party genauso glücklich machen, denn er schätzt den Groove von Fleetwood Macs „Tusk“ ebenso wie ein Acid-House-Stück von 2000. Jama ist sich für den richtigen Hit in der richtigen Sekunde nicht zu schade und wenn dich nicht sein Beat zum Genießen bringt, dann ist es sein verschmitztes Lächeln, seine abgeknickte Hüfte, seine Freude über jeden Break. Der Beau der Berliner Bassbrigade ist der Mann für die letzten Stunden, für Tage, die im Flug vergehen.

Clearing space, getting rid of clutter, and optimizing the flow of energies: These are the principles of Feng Shui, but it’s also a very precise description of the sound of Hatikwa. The producer from North Germany gained popularity for his minimalist approach towards Progressive Trance, an approach that might take different directions but that always proves to have compelling hypnotic powers.

Hatikwa is one of those artists who reached a career breakthrough via Social Media. It is 2009 when he plays his debut live act at Hamburg’s Lonely Forest Project, and this experience is such a rich source of inspiration that he creates a track and names it after that party. Once uploaded on YouTube, "Lonely Forest" spreads rapidly and within no time the name Hatikwa is on the lips and on the Facebook profiles of Progressive Trance fans all over the world. Working with the netlabel Multiplex Records at the time multiplies the viral distribution of his music. After releasing some single tracks and digital EPs he drops his debut album "Point of View" on Magical Sounds Records in 2013, a step that puts him even higher on the agenda – especially in the Progressive Trance hotspots Denmark, Germany and Switzerland where Hatikwa has a solid fanbase. 

In 2015, Hatikwa decided to stand on his own two feet completely - Xonica Records was born. Xonica Records was launched to open a dimension of sound that can't be achieved by any piece of studio equipment: Creative Freedom! Xonica Records is an autonomous platform for Hatikwa, a portal that enables him to keep up his truly eclectic and independent approach towards modern Trance music. In 2017, he created his second album "The Second Narration" and released it on his own label Xonica Records - a true milestone for him and his career. 

When it comes to production Hatikwa is extremely detail oriented. Sometimes it takes him months to finish a track because he’s just not quite satisfied with a single element. Like the music itself, this approach represents his signature style: Less is more, and quality surpasses quantity. Hatikwa knows exactly that a single sound can trigger the most profound emotions if it’s only in perfect tune, and if it only has enough space to unfold its unique vibration. Just like a spatial environment that has been designed in accordance with the priciples of Feng Shui, his sound creates an intense feeling of flowing harmony and effortless power – a highly energizing listening experience that can best be described as deeply psychedelic. 

Back to the roots...and then a step further..
