What does it mean to be human? 

Forever curious and explorative, Dominik Petzold is a wanderer between the worlds. His vast sphere of studies ranging from natural sciences to consciousness and spirituality are flowing together in complex and playful music.

His organically evolving tracks often incorporate handmade field recordings that carry very personal memories. They will take you on a transformative journey, both inwardly and through movement and dance. Though eclectic and rarely repetitive, his music is always centered around captivating melodies and a vibrant pulse. It is creating a wide-open space where matter and energy meld, where head and heart finally agree.

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.

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/)

Part 2 of the compilation series sees the journey evolving, this time with a more upbeat affair. Not much has changed in terms of selection, as we continue to draw inspiration from the wider world, we bring to you the sounds of artists originating from Argentina, Japan, Netherlands, Portugal, Brazil and the UK. Beyond the restrictions of this physical realm, let your ears nourish the mind & soul as they traverse the world for you…

Next up, we have Japan native/Berlin resident Kotoe continuing the flow of downtempo sounds that slowly settle us into this compilation. ‘Ondami’ conjures up images of a distant dream… the floating vocals and echoing chimes capable of drifting the listener to a place of blissful escapism.

The album is framed by two contemplative tracks, which are reminiscent of Holger Czukay’s oeuvre. The saxophone in the opening track "The Heath" undulates like an introvert leading voice in a meditation. The long and meticulously crafted ambient outro "Txalaparta" features a spoken word sample by the Basque folk musician Txomin Artola from 1978. The four tracks at the heart of the album are beat driven, percussion-heavy, loaded with synths and random horn samples. "Alo?" sounds like Snakefinger tries to get on a Skype call with Serge Gainsbourg. "Cacti All Over My Head" could well be a Ween instrumental with long arching synth lines over a slowed down bossa nova beat.

Fever is a frivolous album which bursts with exalted charm and guest musicians. This is not another greetings-from-the-lockdown album, but with the obvious reference in the title it’s almost a tongue-in-cheek name about creative obsessions of our times.
It's the debut album by the multi-instrumentalist Y Bülbül who has learned his trade working with various interesting artists and bands in London in the past 10 years. He is also a passionate crate digger and DJ. His own radio show is unerringly titled "Bülbül's Gemüsement Park", which airs on Netil Radio, a community broadcasting station in Hackney.

Bonus fact, Bülbül is the Turkish name for a brown-eared passerine bird, one that's into singing.
