We are delighed to present you a most precious gem. Nicolas Jaar, the Fado singer Carminho, edited by the unique Andara. This could only be epic!

There are no doubts that Nicolas Jaar is a legend, that Andara is gold, but regarding Carminho, whom most of you probably do not know, she is one of the most amazing Fado singers alive, and my very favorite female singer for many years . It's hard to put in words the magic of her voice, the soul and perfection of her singing, and most of all, the heritage of Portugal and Humanity that Fado music represents. We are delighted for having such piece of art and sharing it with the Downtempo Community.

Thank you beloved Andara, you never stop bringing light, art and Love to our lives on a daily basis and we could not imagine life or Octo without you!

Octo Records is preparing many surprises for the rest of this year! And for the next one... Well, that is gonna be wild!

Nicolas Jaar & Carminho - Fado Das Horas (Andara's Edit)

We are so happy and proud to offer another precious piece of our Portuguese culture, edited in Downtempo by our dear Nyvs.

António Variações was a Portuguese singer and songwriter who rose to prominence in the 80s with his unique, eclectic and absolutely amazing musical style!
Known for his flamboyant stage presence, wearing bold and colorful outfits with his distinctive hairstyles, Variações's music was a fusion genres, from rock, pop, folk, and his magic and influence continues to these days, making him one of the most beloved figures in Portugal's cultural history!
Fun fact is that before he became a musician, he was a famous barber in Lisbon!

Enjoy this epic work by our Resident Artist and Mastering Engineer Nyvs, a beautiful and unique addition to our Downtempo Culture, crafted with exquisite quality.

António Variações - Canção (Nyvs Edit)

Ever since we discovered this edit by Frolov, it became a kind of beautiful madness — playing almost on loop, morning after morning.
Every now and then, we come across a track that truly touches the soul, lifting our vibration higher every time we hear it. These are the creations we come to rely on to make us smile, to dream, to celebrate, and to carry us through life’s many moments.

This unique piece — an edit of a traditional song from Thailand — gets the highest praise we can give: absolutely epic.
We’re grateful to share it with all of you, and deeply thankful to Frolov, a Ukrainian producer and DJ whose talent and professionalism we admire.

May all have an epic rest of Summer, with music and joy.

DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL

Ir e Vir (Birdzzie Edit) marks the debut release of Postas de Pescada, a label dedicated to reimagining Portuguese folk through electronic reinterpretation.

Each release is curated by Mike Stellar, our head honcho, crate digger, and sonic archaeologist — digging through dust and poetry to unearth the songs that still pulse today.

The original track “Ir e Vir” was recorded by Grupo de Acção Cultural (G.A.C.) in the years following the 1974 Portuguese Revolution. Formed in the wake of the dictatorship's fall, G.A.C. was a collective of musicians, poets, and activists who gave voice to the hopes and struggles of a changing Portugal, blending traditional melodies with political urgency.

At the heart of “Ir e Vir” lies a stark portrayal of the life of Portuguese fishermen: waking before dawn, braving the sea, and returning with little more than exhaustion. The lyrics speak of labour without dignity, of bodies spent for profits that never reach them. In this edit, those words echo differently but no less urgently. 

Today, it’s often artists who navigate a similarly extractive system: streaming economies, unpaid gigs, exposure in place of income. Ir e Vir becomes not just a chronicle of past injustices, but a mirror for the present: a reminder that the rhythms of exploitation shift form, but rarely fade.

In this edit, Birdzzie, a portuguese producer known for ambient depth and hypnotic downtempo rhythms. slows the track to a reflective pace, bringing its message into a spacious, electronic landscape. This isn’t just an edit; it’s a respectful act of sampling tradition and transforming it for new ears and contexts.

Chamada Remixes – EP Get it here!! https://nomaderecords.bandcamp.com/

Praah -productor y lutier franco colombiano- en colaboración con Festival Nómade más ocho artistas europeos y latinoamericanos, han dado forma a “Chamada”, un EP de remixes del single del mismo nombre. Esta canción fue producida por Praah con la intención de unir varios continentes, integrando idiófonos (Sanza) por la parte africana, aerófonos japoneses (Hotchiku) y flautas y ocarinas por la parte de americana precolombina. 

“Chamada Remixes” avanza desde un sonido orgánico y suave, muy profundo, adquiriendo tintes electrónicos pulidos y progresivos. Evoluciona de manera natural, logrando generar nuevas texturas, gracias a las versiones de productores amigos con búsquedas sonoras complementarias. 

Así comienza a tomar forma concreta una familia musical fundada en el intercambio, el rescate y el downtempo. Chamada Remixes es la primera producción de una serie de trabajos colectivos que ya están empezando a gestarse y serán liberados de manera gratuita.

Born in the dark streets of Cairo, grown to the unforgettable forests of Santa Esmeralda, spending its teen years in Bombay and Tangier markets, mature into the deep spacey Jungle of Ghana we proudly present you a new label from the l
and of the pyramids: SHANGO RECORDS invites you to an unheard world music psychedelic trip: like through a colorful kaleidoscope we will melt down Indian and Pakistani Vibes, Arab-Tek and Oriental groovy vibes, Afro-Beat rhythms n' pieces, Cumbia Tropicana
flavors and cosmic Ghetto-Latin vibes into forbidden sounds of frenzied electronic dancefloor rituals. Outside traditional paths
these driving grooves and polyphonic structures take the adventure seeking dancer to Dionysian highs and places never been before.

Ogun or Ogoun is a god that appears in several African religions.
He is awarrior and a powerful spirit of metal work, as well as of
rum and rum-making. He is also known as the 'god of Iron', and is present in Yoruba religion, Haitian Vodou, andWest African Vodun.
In Yoruba religion, Ogun is a primordial orisha who first appeared as a hunter named Tobe Ode. He is said to have been the first Orisha to descend to the realm of Ile Aiye ("Earth"), to find a suitable place for future human life. In some traditions, he is said to have cleared a path for the other gods to enter Earth, using a metal ax and with the assistance of a dog. To commemorate this, one of his praise names, or oriki, is Osin Imole or the "first of the primordial Orisha to come to Earth". He is the god of war and metals. CLAUDIO ARDITTI & GONZ CABRERA, FELIPE GRANDA and ÜNAM are paying their respects to Ogun with four amazing original and unreleased tracks. For the love of iron !
