Rawa

Umuhara

Ladainha (ft. Chipréu)

Shika Shika presents our new Botanas by MAUGLI, an artist we have had on our radars and playlists for a while due to his really unique production style and sound. Somewhere between hip-hop, very skilled cut and paste sampling and crisp production. With this Botanas he doesn't disappoint with two absolutely delicious cuts of his signature style.

In MAUGLI's own words:

Trouble Feat. Flolento
'First track 'Trouble' is a collaboration with Eigenklang member Flolento on the clarinet and was originally inspired by the notorious 'Six Boys in Trouble. In the early 1950s a group of kids from housing projects jammed on homemade percussion and sang along with it. With a ton of soul and the first signs of something resembling rap flows (in the 50s!!!) the recordings spark pure joy to me. At some point the sample flew out and ended up on another song and then I asked Flolento and his clarinet to jump in to contrast the pouring wet guitarlicks - chop choppidy, chop and the jam was ready to be served.

Kiliman
Kiliman was inspired by a PVC tube jam and sung poetry from Harak and various Brao groups of Southern Laos. What struck me first was the laid back vibe that came across the recordings. A perfect base to garn with raw drums and pure sine waves for some serious sweaty, booty shaking. There are super secret undercover hints to the original samples sprinkled in there as well to other quotes in this collaged piece of music.

MAUGLI - Trouble Ft. Flolento

MAUGLI blends vibrant sounds and driving rhythms from all over the globe. With a background as a drummer and of various styles, his genre-bending music blends sampling and recording into a lively collage. His crisp arrangements balance an electronic yet organic feeling.
His debut album “Alba” (translated from Italian as “sunset“) is inspired by traditional music and the dance rituals of various Afro cultures and their diaspora such as capoeira, work songs or gnawa.
While seeking to translate their spirit into the present day, MAUGLI combines these elements with electronic music, wobbling synthesizers and stomping beats.
“Ladainha” is a soulful homage to the capoeira culture featuring Professor Chipreu PDM and "Baksheesh" to the rich American blues tradition, with hypnotic synth riffs and chopped up guitar licks resolving in a south african chant (recorded in the late 1950`s). “Mizan” opens with a pounding Guembri (a traditional gnawa three-stringed lute) accompanied by it’s descendant the ’banjo‘, allowing the sampled berber vocals to shine through.
“Rawa’s” striking guitar riff is set up against biting synth blobs and piano chords, Nigerian fiddles and chants that swing us deeply into the groove.
Get your ticket, for this album is an outernational roundtrip

Produced by MAUGLI (@mauglimau) & Terry Callier
Mastered by Jan Soutschek (@jansoutschek)

In the mystic realm of 1960s Chicago, Terry Callier, a troubadour of folk jazz and soul, graced the shadowed stages of underground clubs and  coffeehouses. 

In 1972, he released his "Candyman“, a truly powerful seven minute bass-driven soul groove.

After retiring as a musician in the 1980s, Callier's music was discovered by some of London's trip-hop legends in the early 1990s. They invited him for recording sessions, which led to a late taste of commercial success.

In 2024, MAUGLI is taking over, sending "Candyman" on yet another journey with modern sampling techniques.

MAUGLI @ Drehmoment ۞ Mensch Meier

I had the pleasure to play the by far slowest set i’ve ever played - for a given occasion in a cozy place, surrounded by close friends.
The journey at 65bpm starts with soothing, high frequent soundscapes by Oldtoy, goes on with an edit of Kusht by Yule Mansur, tracks by Valentin Stip, Iorie and Haunted Water, The Sorry Entertainer and Mr. Toé and ends with a masterpiece  of arrangement by Poppy Ackroyd.
Slow down and breath deeply, friends <3

MAUGLI’s debut hits off with two fresh tracks for our free download series.
The first song „Away“ starts dark with choppy guitar licks, chants and arpeggios, repeating, twirling and pulling you in, drawing you deep into its rhythmic african  world.

A warm percussive piece, underlined by deep bass and shaky synths, warping and weaving in and out.
Schweben’s „Away“,a sample of Merlui Miranda’s „Pamé Daworo“, Ogoya Nengo and The Dodo Women’s Group’s „Kadana“ have been worked into the track.


„I bought a Shotgun“ the infamous Screamin’ Jay Hawkins used by 
sample trio „Den Sorte Skole“, returns to stage.
Based on the pounding guitar pattern of Damon’s Song „Did You Ever“
Maugli kickstarts his second track with a bass and a beat that gets your teeth churning and shakes you to the bone.
With delightful twists and turns the track becomes a catchy 
headbanger that is hard to resist.

MAUGLI - Did You Ever (Edit)

Fulani features chants from the Fulani (Fulbe) people, closer from the Wodaabe tribe from Nigeria, that still nowadays lives as nomadic cattle sheperds. 

Hadza features a stringed bow and some occasional vocals from the Hadza people from Tanzania. The Hadza, who live as hunters and gatherers until today, hunt mainly with bows and arrows, as seen on the cover. The bow which they use for killing can be used as a musical bow aswell, played with the mouth or a stick. In this archaic form, it belongs to the oldest musical instruments in known history. In this case a resonator has been added, probably a calabash, to make the bow resonate louder.

The two tracks come from a series which’s work titles where “Stur”, “Stur2” and “Stur3”, which resemble the way of producing quite well: smacking drums, a dirty sample and a simple sinewave subbass. This rough and reduced way of producing led me to this very dry and abstract songs, which I feel have and strong, present and livley drive.

The name Djouma was inspired by a sample in the mentioned third track which is not on the EP, but appears to be a male firstname. So at this point: shout out to all them Djoumas out there! Y'all have a cool name!

When Silvio Astier released his „Pampa“ EP on Boomarm Nation some months ago I instantly fell in love with his melodic guitars and afroargentinian chants. He kindly allowed me to remix „Nacion Candombe“.

Nicola Cruz recently released a sample pack called “Pandemic Percussion”, aiming to support Amazon Frontline by donating all revenues  from the pack. The organisation offers supplies and medical services for amazonic indegenous communities. I composed a song using those drum samples and recorded synths and guitars on it. All income will be donated.  

First 100$ went to Amazon Frontline (https://www.amazonfrontlines.org/).
Another 100$ went to Seawatch - civil sea rescue of people in flight (https://sea-watch.org/en/)
