Raised in Tel Aviv and more recently a resident of Berlin, the latest offering from Eskimo Recordings is the track ‘Fernandez' coming from Moscoman.

Moscoman has only been producing for a relatively short period of time but has already had releases on Cosmo Vitelli’s label I ’m A Cliché and Headman’s Relish. He has established himself as a key electronic artist who uses a range of influences in his music, such as rock and new wave. Moscoman regularly plays at the most interesting parties all over Europe as well as his current base of Berlin.

Moscoman has created a track in which several layers result in an extremely catchy and playful release. ‘Fernandez’ incorporates punchy claps, an almost psychedelic melody, and a bassline that seamlessly brings all the parts together. 

Early support comes from:

Psychemagik: Love this!!!! Super cool!  Support from Psychemagik 
Marcus Marr: Moscoman is great. I am a fan already. Fernandez is bonkers and wonderful. I look forward to giving it a spin. 
Headman: Great track Moscovichi! The mexican wave!
Mixmag/Mash: Quality!!!! This is a lovely live sounding disco groove. Love it 
Kasper Bjorke: Yeah! Support! 
Bottin: love mosco 
Red D / FCL: Vintage Eskimo vibes right here!
Gemini Brothers: Thank you! The track is amazing like always!
Rayko:  Nice one... loving that western movie feeling! 
Khidja: very good, love the spaghetti! 
The Aston Shuffle: Some classic flavours on this joint 
Man Power: Great. Off Kilter. Dark and silly at the same time. Much like Moscoman.

Pre-Order EP

El Búho - Mañana Tepotzlan

In a small circle, the chanting chief is enclosed by half-dozen followers, frenzied and fired as they hear his song. A creature, half-man/ half-porpoise and a tribal head who has been wronged.

PREMIERE: Carrot Green & Selvagem - Ossain (Disco Halal)

The cult flies ever closer to the sun with sonic assistance from NICOLA CRUZ, MOSCOMAN, XANGA, and Malka Tuti members 84PC.

One of the key emerging artists out of South America in recent years, Nicola Cruz is fresh off his debut album on ZZK and primed to take off with his folklorically dope live set. ‘Pagano’ might be his most dance-floor friendly track to date, sounding like it came straight out of Compass Point studios carrying the smell of good ganja.

Next up is Disco Halal’s MOSCOMAN, kicking it in a latino style for a change, flexing his skills into different lingual terrain, masterfully mixing things up in his inimitably unconventional style.

Aussie favela-funklord Xanga is back with MC Sheikh Djibouti, with a blunted piece of snake charmed spacey hip hop. Dope.

Finally, Tel Aviv’s 84PC, a trio comprised of Malka Tuti’s Katzi Kenneth, Asaf Samuel and Naduve, deliver a beautiful piece of sun-kissed guitar prog downtempo. Mellow, melting, mental, magic mushroom music.

On The Magic Movements latest trick, Xique-Xique from Sao Paulo paints a psychedelic panorama of the mysterious world of Amazonia, full of waterfalls, bellicose woman, and an endless flora & fauna. By combining brazilian rhythms with elements of techno, dubby house and plenty of bird sounds they create a unique bunch of vivid slow jams to get lost in.
Beeing already a classic in the infamous circles, „Xaxoeira“ is finally available on vinyl! This vibey masterpiece is the straightest of the bunch, a proper slow-mo House tune, with a dark flute sample and a broken organ that grinds its way into the deepest corners of your brain.
Nicola Cruz delivers a superb remix of „Xaxoeira“ which adds rolling percussions and delay madness to the original material.

Xique-Xique - 1542 [MAGIC06] (A1 ) snippet

Kapote loves the funk. And he loves Blaxploitation movies. The black underground cinema from the 70's. Kapote samples dirty talk from these movies and puts it on his bass lines. Melodic basslines with a heavy 1070 funk vibe. Bass lines that can create a sexual tension. Kapote adds a few warm, jazzy rhodes piano chords and a lot of reverbs and filtering. And the music rolls. Often more like a jam then like a constructed piece of music. In the highest points this music is pure endorphin. It's 4 to the floor - but it has a soulful analogue sound. Kapote says he was listening to records from old Detroit label Red Planet and Parisian downtempo pioneers Motorbass and La Funk Mob while making this record. And yes, the vibe is there. Like these guys Kapote likes to build his musical trips around snippets from old funk vinyl. Adding beats with vintage drum machines and creating an eclectic trip into a universe full of jazzy bits, noisy drums and dirty samples.

Get Down Brother

PREMIERE : Kapote - The Nose [TOY TONICS]

Adiós Morena is the first single off of Afro-Pacific super group, Rio Mira's forthcoming album, Marimba del Pacifico. Composed by Esteban Copete, the single also features remixes by Nicola Cruz, Kaleema & Chancha Via Circuito, Midnight Ravers and M. RUX. 

In 2015, UNESCO added the marimba to its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, observing that "Marimba music and traditional chants and dances are musical expressions integral to the family and community fabric of people of African descent in the Colombian South Pacific region and Esmeraldas Province of Ecuador." 

In celebration of this cultural heritage, and with a main goal of creating an intergenerational meeting between the sounds of Afro music from the Pacific, Rio Mira was founded. The project has a fundamental mission of revitalizing and strengthening bonds between the members of the Afro community from each side of the Colombia-Ecuador border. 

Rio Mira is co-produced by Ivis Flies (Co-Director and Creator of the musical and social heritage recovery Project "De Taitas y Mamas", nominated for a Latin Grammy in 2013. "Smile Ambassador" in 2010) and Ivan Benavides (Producer of Carlos Vives, Sidestepper, Chocquibtown, Grammy Winner Gaiteros de San Jacinto) and features a number of well known Cali and Esmeraldeña artists including Esteban Copete and Karla Kanora. Rio Mira's first album, Rio Mira - Marimba del Pacifico, will be released in 2017 on AYA Records.

Adios Morena

Rio Mira - Adios Morena (Nicola Cruz Remix)

Ecuador’s rising son, Nicola Cruz, returns to Multi Culti with Cantos de Visión

One of the core artists in Multi Culti’s diverse catalog of globally-inspired dance music, Nicola Cruz is deservedly becoming the poster-boy for a new wave of producers that fuse indigenous sounds with internationally professional production, creating something entirely new, sonically. It’s a genre that Multi Culti ambassadors Dreems & Thomas Von Party refer to as ‘Folklorica,’ a psychedelic replanting of folkloric roots, and nowhere is it more skillfully executed than on Nicola’s tracks. 

Following up on his debut LP for Latin America’s indie powerhouse, ZZK Records, the return to Multi Culti sees Cruz sharpen his focus toward igniting the downtempo dance-floors that have slowly been gaining ground in clubs and festivals recently. This new club sound is at the fore on lead track Tzantza,  already an integral part of Nicola’s live shows and DJ sets at festivals like Sonar and Mutek. What stands out most, other than the sampled lead Marimba, is the sheer mass of the kick drum, the immense pushing power of this 102 bpm chugger. Bruxo and Danza de Visión follow suit, flexing some seriously first-world mixing mojo, elevating Cruz’s work to heights that the growing legions of flute-bearing imitators will only reach in their stoned dreams. 

The vinyl package will also feature Mantis and Invocación, off his debut Multi Culti EP, two incredible tracks that will finally get the 12” real estate they deserve. A remix EP will be following in February, featuring remixes from Jaja, Argentina’s Uji, Multi Culti’s own Thomas Von Party, and more.

Nicola Cruz - Rio Branco

MC031 - NICOLA CRUZ - VISIONES

A remix pack is nothing more than the universe experiencing its own dance music subjectively. With this in mind, we took Ecuadorian sound-seer Nicola Cruz’s latest audiovisions and refracted them through the minds of some of the world’s hottest young cultural interpreters. To provide you with the best possible approximation of what the results feel like, we then sent an intern to loiter outside a local Heart-Opening Ceremony to get people’s unfiltered reactions just moments after they awakened to their new place in the universal order. 

TZANTZA (SIMPLE SYMMETRY REMIX):
“I know I can now speak the truth of who I am and what I feel. I am a being composed of divine light and the kind of pure exhilaration embodied by percussive workouts forged by artists hot off releases with Disco Halal. I need to speak with my loved ones to tell them I’ve forgiven everything and that this track deserves their full support."

BRUXO (JAJA REMIX):
““Gratitude is not a gesture, it is an inevitable state of spiritual being. So as a fan of timeless sonic archetypes like ‘Folklorica’ and ’NuExotica,’ I cannot help but smile to myself and know that the cosmos will always respond to my wishes with untold abundance. Killer bassline, btw."

TZANTZA (YOR KULTURA REMIX):
“I have communed with the serpents and the pumas in the Grand Palace. They spoke of pan-ethnic downtempo grooves birthed in the nether regions of a great continent. I cannot express my sense of relief at having their prophetic hissing and growling confirmed by the musics of this plane."

INVOCACION (UJI REMIX):
“I have been reborn into a Golden Eternity of unified consciousness. I can feel the total activation of the World Chakra, with this particular remix representing the brilliant magenta glow emanating from just beneath the Global Pelvis, located somewhere near the Andes. I feel refreshed and renewed and ready to meet whatever the dance floor brings me in this life and the next."

BRUXO (VON PARTY REMIX):
“I have heard this before. It is the sound of laughter flowing from the third mouth of the Man of Acid and Culture, my spirit guide. He told me he would visit me again in a multitude of forms: DJ, producer, label boss, and lifestyle guru. And so it begins."

Cantos de Vision (Remixed)

PREMIERE : Nicola Cruz - Tzantza (Simple Symmetry Remix) [Multi Culti]

Released May 22, 2017

Nicola Cruz polishes off a trippy tryptic of cult releases for Multi Culti with ESPÌRITU.

Folklorica’s chosen lord, Nicola Cruz has shepherded the masses from the church of high tempos and brought trance-formed revellers down to earth with his fusion of crisp electronics and organic, indigenous vibrations. Miraculously, he has brought this style of music to Europe’s major big room clubs and huge festival stages worldwide, pleasing crowds in the habit of being hypnotized by homogenous house music.

Espìritu de Protección opens as a revelation, two seconds into the groove and you’re deep in the tribe. You’re dancing, everybody’s dancing, things dub out, melt down, and a haunting vocal wisps through the room, tickling the crowd from their tailbones to their pineal glands. Just as you recover from that spell, in fly the flutes. Every yogi in the vicinity sways into the front and all of a sudden, you KNOW you’re getting laid tonight. That’s the kind of power we’re dealing with: CRUZ CONTROL.

It’s so potent we had to carefully extract the Flute-A-Pella and serve it up separately to use as a cult DJ tool. 

FOR VINYL ONLY:

On the flip side, not one but two slamming remixes of Tzantza from Disco Halal-defekting Russian duo: Simple Symmetry. Vinyl lovers rejoice in the supreme exclusivity on the digitally unavailable Folklorica Dub, a supreme tranceformational party tool with enough flute to elevate the mind of the many.
