„Nanu?“ – this little interjection in the German language expresses wonder, surprise and a curiosity for what has just been presented to you. It playfully resembles the title of our release „nanou“, produced by Zurich based trio @ali_dada, whose dreamy and unwinding music has indeed aroused our curiosity, surprised us, made us wonder and keen to dive deeper into their world of soothing soundscapes.

This EP may be seen as a soundtrack for moments in which you feel free from capitalist tension. Catching up on Jenny Odell‘s advice in „How to do nothing - Resisting the Attention Economy“, the mood of the songs may be a dedication to the idea of #NOMO – „the necessity of missing out“. An opposition to the overstimulation of our everyday life: „This idea of doing nothing is trying to give permission to have some emptiness.” We affirmatively embrace this idea as an invitation to pause, recline and laze while listening to those 4 calming songs. It‘s the assent to an idle that has facilitated the realization of this EP for ali dada. Obligation-free time opened up spaces for ideas and sketches to flourish. „zwueschetag“, as a „day in between“ originated in the beginning of the pandemic and describes a tool for ali dada to handle the uncertainties of a life without stability. „345“ is the street number of an off-space (www.345off.space), where the trio has recorded and produced their music, and which provides a vibe that allows them to engage optimistically in these fickle times of live.
In ali dada‘s productions you‘ll ever find a playful combination of elements from various, rather distant genres. References to experimental ambient vibes meet the love for jazzy, psychedelic guitars and warm, mellow hip-hop beats. In extended jam sessions they reflect on how the sounds feel to them and how they actually want the listener to feel. And indeed you seem guided – to slow down, linger and listen carefully. As the 3 musicians are sensible for imperfections and glitches you often can hear tiny, subtle elements, such as snippets or field recordings in the background. It‘s these little acoustic surprises that expand the space for dreaming and shape a cosmos in which you want to close your eyes and drift away in airy realms or sparkling beach water.

E-Gerät - Mais Soufflé

Umami Orgánica by @marliblue_sofyah

Umami ist die 5. Geschmacksrichtung. Nicht süß, nicht sauer, nicht bitter, nicht salzig - was vorher irgendwie herzhaft lecker aber undefinierbar war, erhielt mit ‚umami‘ erst viel später ein eigenes Adjektiv. Das bedeutet so viel wie ‚wohlschmeckend‘ oder ‚würzig‘. Also irgendwie ein bisschen was von allem, aber irgendwie auch anders…und trotzdem einfach köstlich! So ist auch diese Serafin Sinfonia. Auf der vorwiegend organischen Zutatenliste stehen treibende Basslines und viel Percussion, weit gereiste Vocals, ein wenig bouncige Groovyness und vielleicht ein klitzekleines bisschen Melancholie. Ein paar länger gegarte all-time-favorite-Downtempo-Banger gepaart mit frisch geernteten Releases. Hin und wieder ergibt das im Abgang die ein oder andere unerwartete Geschmacksexplosion und fügt sich doch irgendwie zu einer geschmeidigen Mélange zusammen.

Rüfüs Du Sol - Music Is Better (Maxi Meraki Remix)

An emotional musical journey from the feelings of realizing mortality, a releasing rebirth to pure love. Not my typical kind of set, but the recent cycle of life led to this ambient, mindful output. 
Enjoy it quietly, chilling, reflecting, crying, hoping, hugging, kissing, chilling, loving, laughing…

Januar Blues Snooze - Lea & Danial (@Braui, 25.1.2025)

We all need heroes right? Among mine, American director & scriptwriter David Simon holds a pretty good ranking. We owe him some of the best thought-provoking, humanist & politically-conscious drama series of the modern TV era. Starting with the best of all (an unquestionable fact validated by...myself:), The Wire (2002/2008, HBO). 
Resonating all the more with me, music plays an integer part in David's work. That's obvious in his remarkable heartfelt appeal to post-Katrina New Orleans ("Treme", 2010/2013, HBO), but is also a common thread in all his productions.
His latest gem, "Show Me A Hero" (2015, HBO), is no exception to the rule. This mini-series evokes a true story from the late 70's/early 80's, depicting the struggles of a young Mayor in a NYC suburban town, to deal with social & racial cohesion in a stressed budgetary situation. 
Unsurpringly somehow, considering the "deep America" social themes at play here, Bruce Springsteen was a great fit to fill a spot in the show's soundtrack. His beautiful melancholic ballad, "Secret Garden", is omnipresent in each of the the miniseries 4 episodes. Here is a deep, balearic/slo-mo style rework I made of it.
