With their 'Hypnos' EP, the Berliner duo Acado join the Kotori Tribe for a wonderfully wonky exploration of time and space, unlocking a transcendent state of hypnosis by way of two mesmerizing originals and a pair of contrasting remixes by Nhii and Timboletti.  
 
Artist: Acado
Title: Hypnos
Label: A Tribe Called Kotori
Catalogue No.: ATCK017
Release Date: 2021-03-12

ATCK017 - Acado - Hypnos
1. Acado - Hypnos
2. Acado - Hypnos (Nhii Remix)
3. Acado - Hera
4. Acado - Hera (Timbolettis Morgengluehen & Sektballet Remix)

Both the title-track 'Hypnos' and its sister cut 'Hera' are low-slung chuggers of the finest calibre. While Acado foster an out-of-body experience guided by deep dub chords and lopsided synths on the latter, their kalimba kiss and neon horn drama lure you into the epicenter of ecstasy on the former. On his masterful rework of 'Hypnos', New Yorker Nhii then ups the tempo and dynamic tension without losing sight of the original's spellbinding core. Meanwhile, Timboletti takes the opposite route on his entrancing 'Morgenglühen & Sektballet' version of 'Hera' – a true ode to that early-morning floor-feeling we all know so well and miss so dearly. With tracks like these, it remains tangible.

When we first heard the tracks by Niju and Malü, our thoughts wandered straight to the beautiful time of the festival season. With their light-footedness and the still pressing bass, they are perfect for making the crowd shake at sunrise in the forest on a Monday morning.

To round off the matter properly, our musical heroes from the very beginning Ninze and Kleintierschaukel with Chrischou contributed a crisp remix.

As usual, we want to thank all artists involved for the great collaboration, as well as our mastering engineer Haunted Water and our artwork artist Kilian Van de Water.

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.

[Concrete Jungle]

Frolov tells an acoustic fable with his EP “Slow Chumack”.
A path with many experiences and adventures.
Influences from exterior energies meet visions from the inner mother source. Connecting polarities.

Chumak was a historical and traditional wagon-based trading occupation in the territory of modern Ukraine in the late Medieval and early Modern periods of history. During long journeys, unexpected things can happen.

Enjoy this depth-filled downtempo journey and go on a trip with Frolov.

[Premiere] Frolov - Ridna (Original Mix) [Concrete Jungle]

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.

We are delighted to support new talent apaj and equally happy to support our first premiere with the label down. ! A perfect combination to start off our week! 

Track Info: 

We are very happy to present you the debut EP from the french producer @apaj_duc. His way of understanding downtempo has cast a spell on us right from the start and stands for exactly the kind of music we want to express on our label. His sound comes simple, yet refined, dreamy, but direct and makes you want to dive deeper into slow music. The 5 original tracks convince with subtle textures and a danceable character.

We are very excited to see where his journey will go to and wish him all the best for the future. 

As always a big thanks to @haunted_water for the mastering and Kilian Van de Water for the artwork magic.

PREMIERE: apaj - Ghosts [down.]

All good things come in five, that's why our new compilation is out now.
For down.tape°5 we have put together 12 tracks which are all special in their own way.

As always we dive into the different worlds of downtempo, but this time every single track has an individual dance floor character which will get your feet to work. We want to express our longing & love for our usual normality and hope that the dance floors will be filled again in 2021.

A big thank you goes out to all artists involved, including Kilian Van de Water for the artwork and Haunted Water for the mastering. We hope to make you dance again with this compilation, whether alone at home or together on the dance floor.
