“Einsteigen Bitte!”

After more than six years of collaboration between label and artist, Feines Tier and Luca Musto bring to you the highly anticipated first full length LP “Nice Place, Bad Intentions”.

Musto’s first LP “Nice Place Bad Intentions” departs from the conventional 4/4 time signature. Instead, the album’s structure and the tracks themselves are reminiscent of a 1990s/2000s Hip Hop long play release. This becomes evident in the fact that the LP not only features 17 tracks, including skits and interludes, but also that they make up the framework of a conceptual album. Here, listeners will be encouraged to follow the track list and listen to “Nice Place, Bad Intentions” in one go.

“Nice Place, Bad Intentions” was produced over a period of 1,5 years. Besides the majority being original samples and vocals from Luca Musto, the LP also features a number of studio musicians, including bass players, trumpeters and guitarists. Cologne-based guitarist Simon Bahr can be found on several tracks, including the three singles “Infiltrate”, “Boogie Angst” and “Real Name, No Gimmicks”. Moreover, the skits and interludes are spoken by professional voice actors from the US and Canada.

The Berlin-themed album follows the characters Mick and Richie, who are all about partying and come to the city for one weekend in hopes to have the time of their lives. When the characters’ expectations meet reality, their naiveté (or bad intentions) lead them to getting screwed, robbed and even arrested. These stories about their journey through Germany’s capital are found in the interludes and skits. Listeners can follow them passing infamous places and metro stations in the city based on sampled BVG announcements, which gives the album a radio play vibe.

Sound-wise, Luca Musto’s unique sounds include scratched hooks that meet original lyrics and melodies, resulting in distinctive genre-bending tunes. As Mick and Richie stumble through some of Berlin’s most infamous places, their expectations repeatedly clash with the reality of the capital’s nightlife. Similarly the listeners’ expectations are twisted and turned. Yet, the soundtrack underlining the characters’ journey never disappoints and brings its listeners on a rhythmic trip of old and new sounds. From rapping on downtempo as in “City of Grind” to merging the classic structure of electronic music with funky guitar licks and unconventional chord transitions as in “Infiltrate”, the LP feels at once like a daring experiment and like the beginning of a developing new genre.

Luca Musto - Nice Place, Bad Intentions LP

novembre

Whisper from the other side is about this moment when you wake up from a dream and can’t tell where you are. A short second of beautiful disorientation that feels like drifting into another world. This mixed state between sub conscious and reality is volatile like a cloud and hard to catch like a Dragonfly. 

We feel that these moments resemble the spirit of our collaboration and whispered us the blueprint to write this track. Close your eyes and let it happen, we might meet on the other side.

Saive featuring Zoe Reijue - Whisper From The Other Side

“Real name, no gimmicks,” the title of Luca Musto’s latest single says it all. The chill downtempo track initiates the album and sets the groove for what's to come. With a combination of Hip Hop elements, Simon Bahr playing the guitar and original piano licks and keys by Musto, the purely instrumental track keeps its promise--real name, no gimmicks!”

GENRE: Downtempo/Organic-House
COVER DESIGN: Freddie Wyatt

Born in the dark streets of Cairo, grown to the unforgettable forests of Santa Esmeralda, spending its teen years in Bombay and Tangier markets, mature into the deep spacey Jungle of Ghana we proudly present you a new label from the land of the pyramids: SHANGO RECORDS invites you to an unheard world music psychedelic trip: like through a colorful kaleidoscope we will melt down Indian and Pakistani Vibes, Arab-Tek and Oriental groovy vibes, Afro-Beat rhythms n' pieces, Cumbia Tropicana flavors and cosmic Ghetto-Latin vibes into forbidden sounds of frenzied electronic dancefloor rituals. Outside traditional paths these driving grooves and polyphonic structures take the adventure seeking dancer to Dionysian highs and places never been before.

No one ever comes to Vermilion Sands now, and I suppose there are few people who have ever heard of it. But ten years ago, when we went to live at 99 Stellavista, just before our marriage broke up, the colony was still remembered as the one-time playground of movie stars, delinquent heiresses and eccentric cosmopolites in those fabulous years before the Recess. Admittedly most of the abstract villas and fake palazzos were empty, their huge gardens overgrown, two-level swimming pools long drained, and the whole place was degenerating like an abandoned amusement park, but there was enough bizarre extravagance in the air to make one realize that the giants had only just departed. I remember the day. We first drove down Stellavista in the property agent's car, and how exhilarated Fay and I were, despite our bogus front of bourgeois respectability. Fay, I think, was even a little awed - one or two of the big names were living on behind the shuttered terraces - and we must have been the easiest prospects the young agent had seen for months. Lola Villa takes the time for a small journey into time and space. This is her first offering for Shango Records. These three tracks will shine like bright stars into the darkest night. La Dame, MAUGLI, Centaurus A, Richard Elcox & Matija are cosmonauts in a mysterious galaxy called “destiny”.

Lemurian and J.Pool have been prolific as solo artists, and this is their first time collaborating together. Uniting their individual sounds in a matrimony of majestic tones and harmonies, they each draw influence from the cultural heritage of their native lands.

Born in Peru and based in Tulum, Lemurian is the owner of Cosmic Awakenings, but he has also released his tracks and remixes on other noteworthy labels such as Kindisch, Sol Selectas, Pipe & Pochet and Exotic Refreshment. He is someone who likes to celebrate life, and this uplifting and spiritual energy is something that can be felt and heard in his music and DJ sets.

J.Pool is a fresh talent who is making his debut on Cosmic Awakenings after previously working with other imprints such as Camel Riders, Numa, Cosmovision and Ohxala Records. “Based in Tulum, he is someone who is an active DJ and musician, who is involved in creating many events linking music to spirituality and wellbeing such as music production retreats.”

On remix duty, Turu Anasi is a Ukrainian artist who has worked previously with Cosmic Awakenings. Seba Campos is also making a return to the label, but has also released on other influential imprints ranging from 3000 Grad to Copycow.

Luca Musto is an enthusiast of soul, jazz and blues, his electronic music/’slow- house’ oozes of grooving beats and hypnotizing melodies. With his Italian roots reflecting rhythms through cracks in a musical mirror, these cozy, grounded atmospheres will set you up to lay back, relax, and dance: this paradox perhaps best encapsulates the complexity of Musto’s grooves. 

Where other artists rely on established formulas and resort to complacency, Musto embodies the opposite. Based in the dungeons of Berlin, he coalesces the city’s unique musical footprint with his own nuances and projects them into his music as a symphony of impressions. His catalogue merges the resilience of modernity with authenticity and the musical preferences of our generation with subtlety, so that it never feels to be listening to just another record. 

Instead, it invokes in fans of electronic music a feeling of familiarity and expertise, which is reflected in his creative sampling and merging influences. With each new release, the listener can’t help but notice that Luca doesn’t take his talent for granted, but as basis for higher aspirations.
