Regarding the edit of José Afonso's song "vejam bem" (meaning "take a good look") and it's release on this date, 25th of April, it represents a most significant event. Portugal has been under dictatorship for more than 40 years, up until 1974. During that period, José Afonso's music became forbidden due to it's revolutionary and inspiring nature. This artist was so gifted and had such influence, through his being, art and thinking, that was considered a constant threat to the state. One of the most iconic stories in Portuguese culture, comes from the fact that the Revolution was triggered trough one of his songs, "Grândola Vila Morena", played trough the radio! 
After taking over the radio stations, the revolutionaries played this song to make it possible for others to know what it had began. It was the end of big period of violence, social and cultural degradation and censorship in Portugal, and without any casualties or shots fired. The people's revolution, made with art and peace. Since then, the Portuguese have done an epic effort to become a strong and beautiful country, with Freedom and Love to offer to those who visit us.

The World needs Revolution. Otherwise, there won't be a planet for future generations. It is our time now. With our Music and Love.

Zeca Afonso - Vejam Bem (Nyvs Edit)

made games up

ENG
This EP should give you an insight into one of the freshest producers out there at the moment, the German @lukasendhardt. He grew up among the most diverse kinds of big and small percussion instruments since his father is a Latin jazz percussionist. He always have felt connected to rhythms from cultures that are not his own. In one way or another, it has led a life deep in several rhythms. 
His catalogue includes much-loved work; most obvious thing you will hear is the focus on Brazilian rhythms. Lately Lukas had been very fascinated by the religions based on Yoruba traditions, especially Brazilian Candomblé. By the looks of it, we can understand how Babalaô EP was born. In Yoruba culture Babalaô (Babalawo) is the priest dedicated to the worship of Orunmila-Ifá, epiphany of divination. 
In that light, Lukas has created a work peppered with catchy tunes to provide us a cultural extrapolation. Therefore, this is not just about synthesis between two musical cultures but also between relaxing chill out music and highly energetic themes. All highlighted by his own hallucinogenic filter.
His mother, Burga Endhardt, painted the art that draws the cover. We can notice some similarities between EP & artwork: widely warming, organic taste, kind of surrealness too. It includes different layers, natural forms and shapes. We think that is a picture-perfect match.
Since it is deep, dubby, laid-back but always driving, the four tracks are geared for the dance floor. Nevertheless, certain elements reveal a hidden fringe where Lukas are serving contemplative realness. Besides the three original tracks by Lukas, we also have a penetrating perspective channeled in @arutani’s remix, delivered as a striking extra for the listener.
In short, the EP is a useful indicator for where Lukas is at right now stylistically and reflects as a direct correlation with our motto: slow is the new fast and awesome too

Nikosh - Tired Little One

Der Nebel verschwindet und während wir zurück zu uns kehren, erholt sich die Natur. Das Irrelevante, Materielle verschwindet von ganz alleine. Die Menschen erwachen und werden sich bewusst. Und übersehen, was nicht mehr da ist. Weil es nicht wichtig war.
