Portuguese music producer Nery returns to his mother label Madluv Records, responsible for his long-play debut, and delivering an intricate and dreamlike 7'' vinyl. Moreover, the prolific and Berlin based producer Glenn Astro - that has been rooted to Ninja Tune, Tartelet Records and Termina (formerly Money $ex Records) over the last years - was invited to remix Nery's 'Snake's Head'; additionally, Nery also joined forces with the Portuguese multi-instrumentalist and producer Lewis M., and together did a rework of their own previous collaboration 'Jealous'.

If Nery's music is consistently shaped by unconventional grooves, psychedelism and leftfield realms, in 'Jealous Rework', both himself and Lewis M., took the rework concept to a brand new meaning/level by forging a whole fresh cosmos, not ever dismissing their original 'Jealous' heritage. As for Astro's remix, the level of confidence he showed by stripping down the original vocals and turning it in a experimental jazz instrumental, clearly shows how crafted he is: The drums and the bass programming are brilliantly exquisite to the point you will ask yourself who are those musicians. and when you least expect both Astro's signature and Nery's universe come together with finesse.

A1. Nery - Snake's Head (Glenn Astro Remix)

"Mono No Aware" is a Japanese expression that represents the awareness and feeling of appreciating the beauty of life, in all its ephemerality and fleetingness. And which is translated through the act of being aware of emotions. In its genesis, Mono means "thing", Aware "feeling" and No "something an object possesses". In its fullness, it is nothing more than deep feeling.

The transience of life can be felt and perceived through our connection with nature. The decision to address this fundamental state led us to take a more contemporary approach and therefore go into the outside world (to the studio) to capture sounds that are part of our daily lives, in order to evoke awareness of what changes and what is fleeting. The idea is that each song can be an emotional journey in itself, but that together they form the momentary portrait of our experience. And in this way, provide the listener with an immersive experience that reflects the ephemerality of life.
