Plucky Londoner @kawaiisan takes the Magic Carpet for a victory lap after bursting onto the scene in 2022. Graceful, uplifting breakdowns give way to infectious movement, conjuring joy from suspense and igniting propulsive energy for the dancefloor. And as if that wasn’t enough… there’s a dreamy mind-melter stashed away on the B2. Clearly the young grasshopper is well on his way to becoming a sensei.

In keeping with the annual wax drop, We Are FTR are serving up record number three. That’s not to say label boss T. Fitzgerald hasn’t been busy with the London label of late. Alongside the monthly podcast series over on Threads, the We Are FTR digital series took off just in time for the New Year. Oros joined on the first dishing of digital and now he continues on to vinyl.

The Romanian artist has seen support from some big players in recent times. Both Rhadoo and Mihigh have been seen celebrating the sounds of Oros, most recently at last year’s edition of Sunwaves. He’s been given full reign as he completes his initiation into the We Are FTR family, serving up three of his own originals across both sides of the record. [continue reading at...

Premiere: B2 - Oros - Bartolomeo [WAFTR003]

Chegamos em 2023 e hoje começamos o ano dando um kickoff, daqueles inesquecíveis. Nosso convidado hoje, é um cara de puro coração, que nos entregou majestosamente uma experiência memorável no dia 06 de Janeiro no Surreal.

A música eletrônica passou a interessá-lo aos vinte e poucos anos, desde criança estudou violoncelo e viveu cercado por música clássica. Quando chegou a Bucareste, foi apresentado a um novo gênero musical que não só lhe chamou a atenção, como se tornou um território exploratório onde mais tarde desenvolveria uma sonoridade muito profunda e especial. De DJ à produção musical, muitas vezes ao lado do seu colega Vlad Caia, sob o pseudônimo SIT (Sideways Invisibility Theory), o artista sempre se desafiou a ser mais produtivo, mais criativo e a sair dos padrões habituais que outros músicos se sentem tentados a adotar. 

Através do trabalho árduo e da paixão constante por criar mais, tornou-se um dos fundadores da Amphia, além de passagens por labels como uma gravadora que explora a viagem musical e visual e, no entanto, continua a surpreender multidões na Europa em sets cheios de notável sofisticação. Ainda em sua discografia releases pelas legendárias [a.rpia.r], Sushitec, Meander e Serialism Records.

Bem vindo à família Botanic, nosso querido amigo, @cristi-cons

We arrived in 2023 and today we kickoff our podcast series, with an unforgettable one. Our guest today is a guy with a pure heart, who majestically delivered us a memorable experience on January 6th at Surreal.

Electronic music became of interest to Cristi Cons In his early twenties, as before then, ever since he was a child, he has been studying the cello and was constantly surrounded by classical music. When arrived in Bucharest, Cristi was introduced to a new music genre that not only had caught his attention, but it became an exploratory territory where he would later on develop a very deep and special sounds. From mixing to music production, most often alongside his fellow Vlad Caia, under the SIT alias, the artist has always challenged himself to be more productive, more creative and look outside the usual patterns that other musicians are tempted to adopt. Through hard work and constant passion for creating more, he became one of the founders of AMPHIA, a label that explores both the musical and visual journey, and nonetheless, he continues to amaze crowds in Europe and across its borders with sets full of emotion. His discography also include releases at the legendaries [a.rpia.r], Sushitec, Meander and Serialism Records.

For their first release of 2023, AGT Records is cruising in straight from the West Coast. 

E.T.I. were behind a string of releases in the 90’s and early 2000’s that were part of the new wave of the iconic San Fran sound. The ‘Lookout’ EP, released on their own Oboro Records in 1999, ticks all the boxes of that defining era. 

On this EP, breezy breaks and dubby basslines roll alongside funk infused samples, throwing some signature shuffle onto any dance floor.

With decent copies going for £150+ online, AGT Records is happy to bring this one back onto the shelves and keep an eye on some more stuff from Oboro in the pipeline - all in good time.

Last part of the Korghettini Electronics series!

Pancratio serves up the 2nd hotly anticipated part of his Korghettini Electronics project on One Trip To Avyon. Pancratio: In the early 2000s, Korg invented, engineered and distributed four little instruments called Electribes. A drum machine, one analog modeling synthesizer, a sampler and a music workstation respectively called ER1, EA1, ES1 and EM1. Initially I always found it very difficult to use them in my studio, because they weren’t really fitting with the sound and the workflow. Between march and may 2020, I stopped worrying about trying to force the Electribes into the setup: i just put them together and started jamming, recording several tracks without using anything else apart from these little boxes and their own effects… eventually sampling a few things along the way with my headphones into the ES1. The title, as well as the aesthetic of the project, are inspired by a future-retro approach to early electronics and 70s Italian product advertisement.
