10 years on from the conception of Outtallectuals in the form of a Facebook community, we're delighted to still be here, finetuning the label's signature sound in a never-ending global creative soup.

Accordingly, 'Liminal Lore' celebrates OUTTA's first decade through a predictably collaborative roster, featuring the label regulars, as well as new contributors such as Bulgarian legends, Ivan Shopov and Theodossii Spassov, cinematic bass producer, Boketto, the deep ambient psychedelic dub techno duo of Arkaean and Unsung I, and POAN, Lo.Renzo's ambient side project with Giacomo Barbari.

The concept of 'Lore' is sonified through the 'old world' influences of the album; through the sounds of nature, bulbul tarang, banjo, g clarinet, darbuka, hang drum, sarangi, slide guitars, violins, flutes & tribal percussions. 'Liminality' is, of course, through the celebration of a shifting decade, an in-between milestone for the label.

Halfred X Lo.Renzo - Inaani

My new collaboration with @martinsgarden is out now on @merkaba-music-1

The track include instruments like chinese erhu, indian sarangi, bamboo flute and acoustic guitar.


In Buddhism, SAMSARA is often defined as the endless cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. Or, you may understand it as the world of suffering and dissatisfaction, the opposite of nirvana, which is the condition of being free from suffering and the cycle of rebirth. 

In literal terms, the Sanskrit word SAMSARA means "flowing on" or "passing through." It is illustrated by the Wheel of Life. It might be understood as the state of being bound by greed, hate, and ignorance, or as a veil of illusion that hides true reality. In traditional Buddhist philosophy, we are trapped in samsara through one life after another until we find awakening through enlightenment.
However, the best definition of SAMSARA, and one with more modern applicability may be from the Theravada monk and teacher Thanissaro Bhikkhu:
 "Instead of a place, it's a process: the tendency to keep creating worlds and then moving into them." And note that this creating and moving in doesn't just happen once, at birth. We're doing it all the time."

"Atara," the third track from the collaborative EP "Interwoven" by Iyakuh & Lo.renzo, is out now.

The song embodies the voices of Malawian culture in Africa, inspired by the powerful rituals, dances, and stories of these traditions. It features vibrant melodies woven with live ngoni and Tank drum, seamlessly blending textured downtempo sections with full-on tribal dance rhythms.

We express deep gratitude for the songs and presence of these lineages that provide us with immense inspiration. It is an honor to work with these sounds.

Blue Dubs series is a "digital mini compilations" project curated by Luca Blue and Master Margherita. 
Volume 1 included remixes from Seb Taylor aka Kaya Project and Digitalis, Zen Baboon, Lo.Renzo, Pineal, Ermetico and Master Margherita..

Zen Baboon -  Pe Na Praia (Lo.Renzo Remix)

2nd track from ‘Rajasthan In Dub’ EP released via Outtallectuals Collective in collaboration with Nicolò Melocchi, an Italian student of Hindustani music, & Asha Sapera, a dancer & singer from the Kalbeliya tribe of Rajasthan.

Primarily, this EP is the culmination of Nicolò’s time spent living with the musical tribes of Jodhpur in the past few years, training in local music & instruments. During this time, Nico has built a solid relationship with various members of the Kalbeliya tribe, a community whose dance & folks songs are included in UNESCO’s “List of Intangible Cultures”, & this relationship has included documenting videos & songs with Asha Sapera, one of the key internationally-renowned faces of tribe.

Combining with the ethnofusion musical capabilities of Lo.Renzo as an electronic producer & player of the Sarangi, Cumbus & Percussions, the recordings of Nico & Asha have developed into this novel collection of songs. Traditional sounds of Rajasthan merge with world dub aesthetics & subtle overtones of psychedelic music to create ‘Lhwar Jewra’ & ‘Beraghi’, two songs with the main lyrical theme of love & separation as expressed from the perspective of such nomadic people who must often leave their loved ones behind, departing without the knowledge of their next exact destination.

Stream / Buy: fanlink.to/rajasthan

Full digital release on the 13th of July.

CONNECTION Ep feat Treeboga OUT NOW!

These two songs were created thanks to new connections born during the past year.
The first step was possible thanks to Shwaya Sound System, the second one thanks to another large family called Fusion Culture, both based in Tel Aviv.
From this network of relationships was born the connection with Gabriel Kimchi aka @aborigiman-project, mindblowing didjeridoo player, teacher and maker, founder of @treeboga with Roy Brosh.


I am grateful for these  moments, the world of connections that surrounds us, our common roots, our shared universal language: MUSIC.

Single sessions can be found on bandcamp: https://lorenzochill.bandcamp.com/

The idea of these meditative sessions was born at the beginning of March when lockdown in Italy began with the plan to release one track every week till the end of April.
The purpose of these meditation sessions was to offer beauty, peace and love to all the listeners and I'm honoured to have received such positive feedbacks that let me know this musical journey has gone in the right direction.

It's been a hard but magic time for me and I want to thank you all for your support!

Much Love

MEDITATIVE SESSIONS collected

Meditative sessions  [album mix]

https://lorenzochill.bandcamp.com/album/living-water

Living Water is a song that captures a special moment in nature, when everything is peaceful and still.
Nature, just like life, has its ever-flowing currents, flowing us from place to place.

We never stay in the same spot for too long. But throughout life, we share in these savored moments of reflection and tranquility.
These are moments where we can feel cared for and safe.

We sense the loving and nurturing power of Mother Earth.
Everything we need, we have access to.

All worries and fears are at bay.
In moments like this, there lies an important medicine.
Gratitude washes over us, and we are recharged for whatever is to come.

Lyrics

The water is clean.
The air is sweet.
Gold Light shines through the dancing leaves.
The soil is soft.
The breeze is warm.
All tucked away, safe from harm.
