ETS-MWIZI

Even The Strong

Mwizi is a collaboration between Nabalayo – an artist, producer and vocalist from Nairobi, Kenya – and Even The Strong label founder NKC. The release combines Nabalayo’s arresting vocal harmonies and flowing melodies, which draw influence from Kenyan folk music, as well as Bjork, Kelela and Tiwa Savage, with NKC’s broken rhythms, choppy sampling and pulp FX.

Out of Fashion Boys Compilation Vol.2: Punch Drunk

Punch Drunk refers to the dizziness when fighters get rocked, pretty much resembles to the numbness after five six Vodka shots. We borrowed this concept to name our compilation, hoping it delivers the same experience aurally and emotionally even without Vodka. So that you may keep your feet on the ground when the real punch comes. As Buddhism says, "All sufferings are caused by omissions.” All those omissions (joys and sorrows to put it simple) are punches to our life, where all our false satisfaction and desperation are punch drunk. Wish we can stay sober, or just straight out get a "punch drunk".

Out of Fashion Boys Compilation Vol.2: Punch Drunk

Punch Drunk指的是在格斗比赛或现实中被重拳击中产生的眩晕感，就像是一口干掉一杯伏特加后对整个世界都失去了知觉。我们借用这个概念来命名这张合辑，是希望让每个人即使不喝伏特加，也能够在听感和情绪上体会punch drunk。等到哪一天真的迎来一记“punch”时，希望你能站稳。就像佛教所讲的有漏皆苦, 所有的“漏”（简单理解为过喜或悲的情绪）都是一记punch，我们对生活的所有虚假的满足与绝望也是punch drunk，希望我们能保持清醒，否则就干脆享受punch drunk吧。

@latinchat - Tagadá EP (incl. remixes by @3phaz, @plvybxy & @lilatirandoavioleta)

It took DJ Latinchat two deep reggaeton - or cosmic dembow as he dubbed them back then - tracks uploaded casually online at the end of 2022 to put his name on the map. Carrying that momentum into 2023, the Peruvian producer proved that he has got much more to offer as his ambitious way of merging dancehall, reggaeton and more with electronic music resulted in rhythmically complex tracks (spread across his official debut release and several compilation contributions, including NAAFI's Pirata series) that started landing in the sets of the scene's most influential figures like Dengue Dengue Dengue, Manuka Honey, CRRDR, Bitter Babe and Parzubanil.

2024 sees DJ Latinchat debuting on Basy Tropikalne with 'Tagadá', a carefully crafted EP featuring many hidden references. The release kicks off with 'Zwelve', a dark dancehall song built around a 303 bassline that also contains tumbao rhythm patterns inspired by Afro-Cuban music. A title track comes next, bringing faster tempo and a somewhat upbeat mood but with its broken beat and surprising switch to 6/8 time signature in its second part, the song is definitely not just another straightforward club music tune. Original part of the release finishes with reggaeton-based 'Bomber', a track profiting from DJ Latinchat's experiments with heavily processed samples.

The EP is then enriched by three distinctive remixes. Egyptian producer 3Phaz - who just made it to the year-end lists on Pitchfork, The Quietus and Bandcamp for his groundbreaking 2023 releases on TraTraTrax and Discrepant - adds heat to 'Bomber' by turning it into a true percussive feast while Argentina's EL PLVYBXY transforms 'Tagadá' into a thumping dancefloor killer. Fresh off her Hyperdub-released album, it is Uruguay's Lila Tirando a Violeta who closes the EP with an outstanding soundscape, intertwining 'Zwelve' with layers of her voice, nature samples and more.
