Name: SAN DÍA by MENEO in MARACAS FOREVER
Duration: 4 min
Description: Esta cumbia con momentos de vocoder traperos y dembow es el single de este nuevo EP… su letra es un mantra sobre cómo los artistas recurren a mostrar opulencia y sexismo como símbolo de algo que es totalmente irrelevante a lo importante de la vida.. que es pasarlo bien!

MARACAS FOREVER hace referencia a mi deseo de convertir mi cuerpo en cenizas y que dichas cenizas puedan ser conservadas dentro de unas maracas; pa que seres queridos puedan sacarme a bailar cuando quieran… ajúa!

5 canciones que contienen samples de Enrique & Ana, una declaración de amor a una nalga, santería cumbiera con logos de supermercado y spanglish calentorro proveniente del lejano oeste... este es mi momento más downtempo donde mezclo dembow, bolero y trap con más letras rarunas.

Además, este trabajo de 5 cortes contiene varias colaboraciones: Monterrosa, el dúo de electropop con más actividad en la escena festivalera y Aerofustán, amigo de mi infancia guatemalteca.

El Digitalazo - Manifiesto

Después de su debut con la primera publicación en junio de este año, aparece este nuevo volumen para despedir el 2023. Con cada nueva entrega, El Digitalazo va consolidando gradualmente los cimientos del espacio ideal para experimentar con el cuarteto.
El cuarteto, el ritmo popular de Córdoba, celebró recientemente 80 años de vigencia y desde entonces ha sido y sigue siendo el soundtrack de muchas generaciones. Siempre sonando en eventos tan variados como cumpleaños, casamientos, un asado, pasando por centros vecinales, en la radio de la verdulería o en la vereda de una vecina. Su máxima expresión: "el baile", donde cada noche se produce la comunión del pueblo cordobés, con distintas orquestas tocando de lunes a lunes. Ya sea consumido directa o indirectamente, la mayoría de los cordobeses han disfrutado de tirarse unos pasos al ritmo del tunga-tunga.

El ritmo alegre y veloz viene acompañado de letras que exploran temas como el amor, el desamor, la caravana, la melancolía, la tristeza y las vivencias de los barrios populares, enmarcadas en la dura realidad. Todo con la misma dosis.

Desde El Digitalazo trasladamos el sonido cuartetero al terreno que faltaba por explorar: la fusión con la música electrónica, dando como resultado lo que llamamos cuarteto digital. Este es nuestro humilde homenaje a la música popular, expresado en el lenguaje que conocemos. El Digitalazo expone de manera colectiva lo que se venía gestando poco a poco y de forma aislada: la búsqueda constante de nuevos horizontes sonoros con acento cordobés.

El Digitalazo - Manifest

After its debut with the first publication in June this year, this new volume appears to bid farewell to 2023. With each new release, El Digitalazo gradually consolidates the foundations of the ideal space to experiment with the Cuarteto.

The Cuarteto, the popular rhythm of Córdoba, Argentina, recently celebrated 80 years of existence and since then it has been and continues to be the soundtrack of many generations. It has always been played at events as varied as birthdays, weddings, barbecues, neighbourhood centres, on the radio in the greengrocer's shop or on a neighbour's pavement. Its maximum expression: "el baile", where every night the communion of the people of Cordoba takes place, with different orchestras playing from Monday to Monday. Whether consumed directly or indirectly, most Cordobeses have enjoyed throwing a few steps to the rhythm of the tunga-tunga.

The upbeat and fast rhythm is accompanied by lyrics that explore themes such as love, heartbreak, the caravan, melancholy, sadness and the experiences of the popular neighbourhoods, framed in the harsh reality. All with the same dose.

From El Digitalazo we moved the Cuarteto sound to the terrain that was yet to be explored: the fusion with electronic music, resulting in what we call Cuarteto Digital. This is our humble tribute to popular music, expressed in the language we know.

El Digitalazo exposes in a collective way what had been brewing little by little and in an isolated way: the constant search for new sound horizons with a Cordobés accent.

ER MIX 07 // SPACE SLINGER

Couple of my demos from summer '23 that somehow ended up from the folder 'untitled' to the folder 'complete.' Featuring cracked VSTs, YouTube rips, samples from cheap 90s CDs, and a lot of sarcasm plus sincerity at the same time. It's definitely 'name your price' tag music, but it's nicely mixed with additional help from Cnstruct, mastered by simply the best, Lopazz, and comes with lovely design by Mollakaev. Feel free to support! And remember to always stay hydrated ❤️🕊️👼🏻

PREMIERE: Reenie - Quantum Entanglement [Air Signs Music]

Artist: M4LA
Track: Hoult (Instrumental)
Label: https://soundcloud.com/beyondersmusic
Format: Digital, EP
Release date: 29/03/24
YouTube: https://youtu.be/mGi4lZ87qU8

Alongside James, aka J1Mi, Jason Goodings and Nick Grimes, Mal is an integral member of Beyonders, a collective of boundary-pushing artists dedicated to sonic experimentation. He has already achieved plenty over his career and plays everything from piano to guitar and drums. In the mid-2000s, Mal made his mark on the scene as one-third of Craggz and Parallel Forces and released an album, several singles, and EPs on labels like Valve and Product Recordings. He has also worked with James Hadfield (aka J1Mi) to produce guitar-focused music spanning more diverse genres and now shows his solo skill with this fine new EP.
'Hoult' opens up with an elegant, elastic rhythm built from funk guitar work and organic drums. Sustained chords speak to the heavens while the shimmering vocal brings the soul to this most feel-good groove. Following the laidback instrumental version comes the wonderfully seductive 'Diaspora'. This deep and late-night sound has a dubby undercurrent, with big hits echoing out amongst neat guitar riffs and cosmic sonic details. It reveals more with each listen and fuses downtempo, Balearic and organic house music in heartfelt fashion. Last is 'Violin Track', which is just that - a rousing piece powered by emotionally stirring violins that soar to the heavens next to mellifluous piano chords. It's brilliantly dramatic and will form a centrepiece in any set.
These are quite different but equally excellent explorations from M4LA on this latest EP from the Beyonders Music collective. In time, this series of label EPs will make up an album from the collective, so watch this space for further instalments.

Open Call Odeology - Black Tulip

El último track de este EP es un latin trap instrumental que tenía por ahí guardado y estoy buscando a un artista mudo para ponerle letra, si bien no será cantada creo que un videoclip con lenguaje de señas es perfecto para enfatizar en que muchas veces se puede decir mucho sin hablar.

CALLADITO MAS BONITO

Este dembow sólo podría ser cantado por MONTERROSA, un dúo que utiliza la canción pop como herramienta política y artística.

TORO SENTAO ft MONTERROSA

Esta cumbia con momentos de vocoder traperos y dembow es el single de este nuevo EP… su letra es un mantra sobre cómo los artistas recurren a mostrar opulencia y sexismo como símbolo de algo que es totalmente irrelevante a lo importante de la vida.. que es pasarlo bien!

SAN DÍA

Dentro de la tradición cumbiera esta el cantar letras "absurdas" con tonos de humor y buen rollo, este es el caso de PURO DIVINO: un bolero con samples de Enrique & Ana y ritmo de dembow realizado curiosamente hace 10 años junto a mi amigo Leke de Guatemala...

PURO DIVINO

Abrimos el ep con este primer tema instrumental, el cual inicia con grabaciones de pájaros en la Selva Lacandona. 
Aunque su estructura es una cumbia, su sonido encaja dentro de ese género que acuñé y etiqueté personalmente hace ya algunos años bajo el nombre de electropical

Rigo Pex is a guatemalan musicologist & performer settled in Madrid.

He's produced EPs along styles such as: 8bitelectropical - trapcheras - merenstep - cumbiatón
