German Jazz/Beat duo Pachakuti & young.vishnu are taking their joint project to new heights. Organically developing instrumental Hip-Hop into full-fledged orchestral Jazz and Groove, they create an excitingly eclectic blend of world music traditions. ‘Arjuna’s Fate’ (feat. Yami Maho) is the third single off their upcoming album ‘Dédalo’, to be released on April 29th digitally and on double-vinyl.

Pachakuti is a musician and producer with family roots in Colombia. He plays keys, tenor saxophone and clarinet. While living and working in Berlin, he draws inspiration from the natural world, investigative travels, and ancestral traditions of Latin America and beyond. His expressive and rhythmical playing and his instantaneous compositions are directed at the human core, arousing subtle experiences. While not being conformed to one style, it always invokes a sense of liveliness and depth to be delved in.

young.vishnu is a producer and DJ. He has studied philosophy and music in Hildesheim, Germany, which heavily influenced his views on meaning and mythology in music. In his DJ sets he selects and plays classic and contemporary Funk, Soul and Afrobeat. His practice as a DJ informs his work behind the boards directly, adding also more organic grooves and broader spectrum of musical styles to his in Hip-Hop based production.

If you had to put one single tag on their forthcoming album ‘Dédalo’, the best choice would be Jazz. That being said, Pachakuti and young.vishnu’s sound worlds might be better described in their own words: „We just make music and try to incorporate what we love about it“. They are musical freethinkers with shared interests in eastern philosophy and botany who interweave Hip-Hop, Latin and Funk with musical storytelling and world mythology.

Mixed and mastered by Roe Beardie at The Brewery Studios, Berlin. The artwork itself merges the visionary art of Mexican painter Sergio Chávez Hollar and the work of Carsten Pölking of the Nima Compositions Archive.

Pachakuti & young.vishnu signed with Melting Pot Music in 2020 and released their debut album ‘Semilla’ in the same year. Followed by a string of singles and EPs.

New album by pioneering German beatmaker FloFilz. On ‘Close Distance’, the LoFi-turned-HiFi producer blends Hip-Hop inspired beats with Contemporary Jazz, Alt R&B and a little Rap. Featuring Alfa Mist, Blue Lab Beats, Jerome Thomas, KeepVibesNear, Summers Sons & C.Tappin, Dal & Hunter Rose. ‘Close Distance’ is his fourth album for Melting Pot Music. 

Close Distance literally means “near in space or time” (or “nah dran”, as we say in German). The 16 songs on ‘Close Distance’ came to life over the past two years. Many sketches were birthed at FloFilz's old home studio in Aachen. Some songs were made from scratch in London, where Flo did sessions with UK Jazz supremos Alfa Mist and Blue Lab Beats at their studios. One was recorded in a kitchen in Streatham, where rap duo Summers Sons and pianist C.Tappin reside.

More sessions were already in planning when lockdown kicked in and travelling was no longer an option. Around the same time, Flo was about to move from Aachen to Berlin which he eventually did in November 2020. Once installed, he started sharing beats and files out of his makeshift studio in Moabit. Beat folders were sent to London where two of our favourite new Alt R&B vocalists – Jerome Thomas and KeepVibesNear – live. Another one went to Dartmoor where the Jazz/Hip-Hop trio Dal added their magic touch while Hunter Rose processed her sultry vocals in Cape Town - 12 flying hours away from Berlin.

The album artwork has been created by Indonesian illustrator Fatchurofi, who caught FloFilz's attention through his work for everybody’s favourite band Khruangbin. Taking influences from Japanese Ukiyo-e art, Fatchurofi is adding a zen-like clarity (and tranquility) that resonates very well with the album.

It is no exaggeration to say that FloFilz has not only created another inspiring album with Close Distance but one that demonstrates how music can close the distance which we all have experienced (and still do) in a beautiful way.

Short/project description by DashGo : "Are you dreaming yet? No, it's just the latest from @Albertodroguett, Alcynoos, and Kydual. "Adventure" combines a handful of different influences to one steady and heart-warming masterpiece. Production forces combine in order to bring you something chill and jazzy. A beat that wiggles you into a comfortable place and helps relax your mind into a more optimistic and cheerful place."

Really hope you're going to enjoy this one, it reminded me when I was in Australia and I’ve always wanted to use this photo I took in Byron Bay when I was adventuring some dope road trips with some mates
