"Movimento Paralelo Vol.1" is the first installment of an ongoing compilation by the collective, multidisciplinary label and pioneer local online radio Metanol FM, walking through different music spectrums in remote collaborations – from jazz to acid, breakbeat, and ghettotech, crossing the paths of Brazilian funk, electro, and techno under an experimental narrative.

With 13 tracks between skits and authorial jams, "Movimento Paralelo Vol.1" was sculpted around solo sax sessions recorded by jazzist member Dharma Jhaz, and got remotely produced by the artists involved as an attempt to keep music inspiration alive in these lockdown times. The compilation brings an additional secret folder as part of its content, with original sample banks, music outtakes, subversive literature, a self-built drum rack for Ableton Live, and a video mix composed as a visual remix of the release. To unlock it, the listeners will need to crack the code inputted between the cover and track names.

At the same time, Metanol soon will be launching a related open-source music community focused on collective mentoring, sharing tools, and extended collaborations as a way to promote stimulus for independent artists on the path of their artistic journey. As they say, "this is our call-to-action for the future of the Brazilian electronic music scene", working together on the basis of discussing ideas to build a supportive network for unknown, unnoted, and upcoming artists.

Movimento Paralelo Vol.1 (Snippets)

Nørus, moniker from the producer and audio engineer Felipe Bortoloti, an upcoming name from Brazil's dusty-introspective house and techno scene, can be seen as a highlight around the main exquisite and lo-fi music channels around the globe this days, including EELF, Moskalus, Be-at.tv, Haus of Altr, Palmstructure and We lofi, to say some. 

Collecting references from his transitory living on different cities around Brazil, his music travels through the boundaries of 4x4 music to stoned ethereal landscapes with a prolific dance floor inclination. Back in São Paulo, his childhood home base, Nørus is moving forward in the search of his music inner self, dropping timeless gems ahead of owned-label Yellow Island and the music collective and radio station Metanol FM.

Produced, mixed and mastered by Nørus (@norusmusic) at Yellow Island Studios.

Subversive Thoughts

Inconscient Talks

In our 3rd authorial statement, we welcome the youngsta Ramenzoni, a 19 years old hidden gem from Brazil’s hands-on music local scene. Inspired by the mid 80’s to 90’s raw analog production, the talented producer explores the structures of acid, house and electro with breakbeat infused sonority on “Estado Sólido”, his first solo EP. 

Rocking drum machines, samplers and hardware gear into the carving of syncopated headbanger tunes, Ramenzoni collects experience with passage by the Red Bull Music Academy Festival São Paulo as well as a co-founder of the digital label Interplanetário Records and residence at Caixa Esquerda collective. Melding fast drums, flipped pads and chopped voices to create an eternal feedback into avid minds, his music can be described as a fresh air echoing from a deep dark cave, moving bodies with live performances and straight-to-tape jams. 

The cover artwork is signed by Manuella Silveira, a young talented brazilian plastic artist. Her style comes from drawing routine since early age and a life changing artistic residency, whose guided her into painting and composition on canvas.

Ramenzoni - Vanilla

Ramenzoni - Estado Sólido

Emergindo das profundezas do Rio Negro, Guillerrrmo materializa sensações de introspecção e elevação em "Lost Adventures", seu disco de estréia pela Metanol FM.

Numa vibrante de auto-conhecimento e experimentação, a produtora manauense apresenta jams que fluem do breakbeat ao techno, unindo house, acid e jazz numa síncope sensorial.

Idealizado e gravado por Viviane Mendes em seu home studio no Amazonas, o EP traça narrativas no ato de encontrar-se ao se sentir perdido, como um mergulho em águas densas e turvas na busca por sua essência artística inerente.

Com 6 faixas autorais e 2 remixes, assinados por Ananda (KODE) e Mari Herzer (MAMBA NEGRA), o disco tem lançamento previsto para 20 de dezembro, em formato digital via bandcamp.

Letricia​ & Dharma Jhaz (Live)

"E assim bradaram urros ao vento, aliviando-se de toda a carga que tornava lento o caminhar. Afastaram de si os de pensamento fulgaz, expurgando tudo aquilo que não se inventa, não se encena e não se finge ser.

E do alto de uma infinita mortalidade, atravessada por ações de insípida consciência, ergueram-se autênticas num estado de êxtase e completude, arrancando lágrimas de sangue com gosto de ferro e fúria."
