a resolutely diy effort, moby recorded the album in his home studio ("although 'studio' always seems like an overly grand word for a bunch of equipment set up in a bedroom."), drew the album artwork with a black sharpie on copy paper, asked his friends to record the vocals ("working with friends is almost always nicer than working with rock stars") and asked another friend, photographer jessica dimmock, to take the press photos.

in addition, friend ken thomas (sigur ros, throbbing gristle, m83) came on board to help mix the record: "mixing the record with him was really nice, as he's creatively open to trying anything - like recording an old broken bakelite radio and running it through some broken old effects pedals to see what it would sound like. it's on the record as a :45 second long track called 'stock radio'". moby and thomas mixed the record using purely analog equipment in true stereo, akin to how records were mixed in the late 60's. as a result, the songs sound pretty amazing on headphones.

the songs also sound best when listened to as a cohesive body of work. while each track stands on its own merit, ‘wait for me’ was recorded and arranged to be listened to from start to finish. in today's single-driven music industry an album that holds together as a collective entity is a rarity. an album that holds itself to standards higher than commercial measures of success is even more rare.


Wait For Me

New single 'Virtue' from Murge out now!

Stream: https://locirecords.ffm.to/murge-virtue

"I created 'Virtue' during a period when I was studying a lot of different DJ sets from inspiring DJ's and ultimately, missing playing to crowded dancefloors. Once I returned to playing at shows and festivals this past summer, I played this track 'Virtue' a bunch and it was always well received and asked about whenever I got off stage. So I felt it had passed the test of the dancefloors and was time to give it a proper release. I still enjoy listening to it while driving and reminiscing of those fond memories of people moving and grooving to it." - Murge

Following his collaboration with Nicolas Jaar's Clown & Sunset label, Cruz has self-produced and self-recorded this landmark album. 

‘Prender el Alma’ is a new strain of Latin American music Cruz calls ‘Andes Step’. Influenced by new digital technology, blended with local influence, Cruz builds his tracks layer by layer, instrument by instrument, drum by drum, exploring local indigenous and Afro-cosmologies in a modern setting. 

From atmospheric opener ‘Sanacion’, the 10-track album journeys through short, sharp acoustic guitar riffs on ‘Puente Roto’ and the percussive ‘La Mirada’, to the electronic ‘Prender el Alma’. Down-beat ‘Equinoccio’ gets a vocal kick from Ecuadorian singer Huaira, ending with the blissful, lo-fi ‘Cocha Runa’ featuring Tanya Sanchez. ‘Prender el Alma’ ebbs and flows through a range of production of local sounds, feeling like a digital awakening.

This digital revolution is spreading through Latin America like wildfire, and nowhere is this more exciting than in the heart of the continent's bustling music scene, where Nicola Cruz is leading the way. 

Led by forward-thinking young producers and musicians, Ecuador is beginning to experience its own digital folklore revolution.  A new crop of producers and musicians are using homeland traditions and rhythms to build on a vibrant history of visual and sonic art, catapulting them into the 21st century.

ZZK are at the forefront of this burgeoning music scene. With artists such as Frikstailers, La Yegros, El Remolon and Chancha Via Circuito, they are defining a new and exciting Latin American music culture.

Nuage and pecq’s melancholy bit of summer nostalgia, ‘Night Air’, gets a makeover from three distinct, tastemaker producers: BAILE, QRTR and il:lo. These remixes capitalize on the somber, airy vocals and lush bells and pads that led to the original racking up over 400,000 streams.

As frequent collaborators, BAILE and Nuage have an effortless way of meshing their sounds, and BAILE’s rework of ‘Night Air’ is no exception. Accentuating the stuttering pianos and vocal chops, BAILE adds in a choppy breakbeat and bumps the tempo up, to create a DJ-friendly version of the original perfect for a daytime festival slot or a sunrise set at Burning Man.

BAILE’s remix is out on August 16th, just in time for the end of summer, with the full remix EP dropping October 18th.

Song and Lyrics by Wingshredder

Music remix by Progeny -1

Beyond the blues I am Still
Point your arrows at the sky
Don't let anyone
Break your stride as you fall
From wall to wall
I can't see your eyes
I can't reveal your lies
Are you from this world or mine
I'm travelling down
Down this path of light
I'm travelling down
Shadow become a shade
I am just another
Shimmering leaf
Drifting to the ground
I've fallen in love with you
And I don't know your name
