Le Commissariat

Meta_ is Mariana Bragada, a singer, composer, and producer from the region of Trás-os-Montes in Northern Portugal. Her debut album, XIV - A Integração, is intimate and organic, with deeply emotive vocals and acoustic instrumentation, yet at the same time heavily features electronic production with deep bass and atmospheric soundscapes. She brings together elements of organic downtempo and trip-hop with ancestral wisdom and yearning vocals that express her hardships and fantasies while reflecting her Portuguese roots. 

XIV- A Integração is the sonic journey of Meta_, born in Trás-os-Montes Portugal, from her roots to South America. 
In 2019 she traveled to Pucallpa, Peru, where she had the opportunity and honor to connect with the Ayahuasca medicine plant and be in the presence of a family of Maestros and Maestras from the Shipibo tribe. Coincidentally, in the following 2 weeks, she performed Live Sound Design for Theatre shows of UmColetivo in Belo Horizonte, Brazil and Montevideo, Uruguay. 
This album is Meta_'s ode to Mother Earth and the human experience, highlighting the symbiosis of organic sound with electronics, tied together with her unique voice. 
Emotions, visions and lyrics are expressed in 3 languages ​​- Portuguese, Spanish and English. It is in this complementarity that a unique sonic universe is created, born of Portuguese ancestry united with the internal and external journeys of Meta_ across the world. 
The songs were written, composed and sung by Meta_ with 2 international collaborations - Labaq (Brazil) and Bom Beijo (Sweden) and percussionist Manu Idhra (PT). Meta_ produced the album, with Bom Beijo jointly producing 7 songs. 
This is the space for integrating Meta_'s life lessons. Beyond duality, this album is based on the colorful, intimate and empowering spectrum of revealing yourself to the world, just as you are, with fears, dreams, pain and love. It’s about death, about life, about being here. 
It was in South America that Meta_ was born again and, so far from the land where she lives, she felt at home. It is with this journey and its alchemy manifested in the album, that the common and cross-border value that music has of union, ancestry and healing is visibly awakened. 
“I use the roots as wings, I will be a flying tree.”

This track is from my earlier productions. The world of lo-fi is quite new to me, but this is my little exploration of its atmosphere and aesthetic. I wanted to experiment with creating a calm, rainy, and nostalgic soundscape. 🌧🎹

Following the release of her album Maleducada, Dat García brings together a group of Argentine artists specializing in mixing folklore and electronica for the first volume of remixes that ZZK Records will be releasing on October 13, giving some of the songs a parallel life. This compilation brings together remixes by six musicians and producers of select tracks from the record, which already marries styles as diverse as chacarera and trip hop. Another twist of the screw for the outstanding musical universe that Dat builds, full of Latin American rhythms in the digital melting pot. With this display of musical expression, it isn’t strange to find in these remixes a vast display of ideas taking new sound atmospheres; from ritual-psychedelic (“Canción de bañar la luna”) by Buenos Aires newcomer Pato Smink to a slow-burning 7 minute dance floor scorcher (Maleducada) by digital cumbia stalwart El Remolon, to the most frenetic and irresistible dance beats (“Anfibio”) by the Frikstailers new project Klik & Frik. A true sign that the digital folklore movement in Argentina is showing no sign of slowing down.

Kouyaté Neerman- Requiem pour un con

From Gaudi: 

My story with The Turbans goes back a few years. I’ve always been a big fan of theirs and we've shared some amazing stage moments (and off-stage moments as well he heee…).  We've played in India together, crushing parties with our infectious dub/gypsy flavour. People loved it, and we loved it too!   

At the time they didn’t have any recording deal, so I suggested to get in touch with Six Degrees, I talked to Bob at the label about it and the rest is history.  
What I've always loved about that band is the intense charge of energy that they have naturally, both on and off the stage. I also love the fact that The Turbans have no frontman or leader- they are all equally important and they all give the same level of contribution to the band.

We performed together in London for their album launch and we absolutely smashed it. They've always had an amazing respect for what I do musically and personally, so after the gig we planned to do something together and this remix is the result. 

I personally picked this track AMAN to be reworked with a different perspective and a different angle. I could feel it had an enormous potential as their next single but felt the track needed a different arrangement and approach in order to make it 100% solid and appealing to every type of music palate.

The song was played without any click so it was very “live” and quite difficult to create a constant solidity all the way through.  I then created a fixed BPM and i adapted every single element to it. It was a very hard job, but the final result is so beautiful that every second i dedicated to this production was 100% worth it.
