"Random Forest is a journey through the lush soundscape of organic house, where the tones of ethnic instruments meet the pulse of the modern electronic beat. With tropical warmth, melodic textures, and uplifting spirits, each track leads into the random rhythm of the forest." - Masrit

"Eclipsia" and "Pebbles" together create a journey through deep, organic, hypnotic soundscapes. "Eclipsia" adds atmospheric layers and emotive melodies that transport listeners into a dreamlike state, while "Pebbles" offers a more grounded, earthy groove with warm textures and a deep rhythmic flow. Both tracks balance energy and emotion, reflecting my vision of connecting people through sound. - CHIP SIR KIT


CHIP SIR KIT - Eclipsia EP

Dança do Dia is the new EP from Istanbul-based duo Roman & Toliver, a journey through earthy grooves and organic textures. The release brings two tracks that explore different roots of movement and voice. "Yamagucci" blends Indian chants and mantra-like vocals with a hypnotic, driving rhythm, while the title track "Dança do Dia" dives into afro-melodic grooves shaped by organic elements and a deep, natural pulse. A release that speaks to both the body and the spirit, carried by the duo's unique sound.

Written and produced by Roman and Toliver.

Roman + Toliver - Dança do Dia EP

"Cavaquinho" brings a powerful bridge between ancestral Portuguese melancholy and cutting-edge electronic sound design.

Artist Saudad teams up with fado singer Tereza Carvalho for a track that redefines the sound of saudade. Named after the iconic Portuguese folk instrument, "Cavaquinho" is a deep sonic exploration of past love and nostalgia, rooted in the very soul of the country's musical tradition.

The track's complex, atmospheric core is driven by a powerhouse of production: blending the unique visions of Blue Dietrich, Dummy Splash, and Ohxala. The result is a brooding, yet hypnotic blend of deep beats, synths, and Tereza Carvalho's haunting, emotional vocals.

It's time to slow down the pace, but not the groove. Cereus makes his debut with a two-track EP that is pure sonic alchemy.

Feel the evolution of organic sounds weaving a soulful rhythmic tapestry that promises to ignite the most discerning dance floors, from sunset moments to the most intimate after-hours.

"The original composition of this track is by the Sudanese Oud master Hamza al Din.  I've loved it for many years, especially on long car rides through the woods...the beginning has such a beautiful dark mystery to it, balanced by the major-key tone of the second half.  The driving rhythm of the cello reminds me of running water and sounds so good with a nice downtempo beat." 
Ben Harris aka @yemanjo

Kronos Quartet - Waterwheel (Yemanjo Edit)

The EP includes four tracks. “Ossaim” is an encounter with the God of the forests and the flowers. In this piece of jungle-sound the duo invites us to embark in the woods, the ritual has begun. In the sequence appears “Sarvará”, an edit of a track of the very-very Brazilian ProjetoMujique; of this bridge Brazil-Portugal appears this second track, an electronic ode to Oxalá. “Ovoavoa” is an invitation to the liberation and celebration of life and love. An invitation to smile and dance freely. “Urubu Violeta” finishes the thematic clipping. It is a “musical illustration” of an original poem by actor Rui Queirós de Matos aka Spike that gives voice to the more futuristic composition of the EP. With an organic feel that is the result of an exciting layering, the Portuguese newcomers deliver a cosmic, fresh, unique and emotionally rich production of intentions.

“O Futuro do Passado” is a vivid introduction to the thematic clipping explored by Maria and Luís. With a down tempo ethnic's scene still embryonic Portugal seems to contribute strongly to the artistic extrapolation of the duo. An infinity of perspectives and colours, together with a powerful groove feeling make this project a unique sound experience. With the incessant search for ways of expressing themselves through popular music, Ohxalá delivers in such a different way a sound package that make us reflect on the past and look to the future without fear.

Not a lot of people know about Waldemar Bastos. His song Sofrimento (originally released in 1997) sounds like an anthem calling humanity to unite, to stop its nonsense violence. It may have been written for Angola, but it's the kind of message that stays valid for all nations.
The Argentinean Klik & Frik bring us a warm, smooth edit that is just perfect to bring soul to that sunset party that we all love. Press play and let the love take over.

Flugen is a global fusion project by Maya Aghniadis created in 2015.

Spending a couple of years performing unreleased tracks and collaborating with several artists, Maya experimented with new sounds and instruments, from ethnic beats to heartwarming melodies until Flugen’s sound was established.

The first 6 track EP “Lost Banjo” was released in 2017 with the collaboration of French cellist Marie Caparros.
A year later, the LP “ Ondes “ was created adding more vocal harmonies and progressive melodies to flugen’s sound.

With a wiff of magic dust
I sunk into my dreams
And discovered the bliss
Of being a colorful shimmer

Dreams & Colors EP

Cloudy Mountain (Ft Micheal Paul Hill)

Centaurus A [ @djleo_dorantes ] is the a.k.a. of the new Leo Dorantes project. The name comes from the galaxy NGC 5128 (Centauri´s constelation). Experimentation with native sounds from all continents, including ethnic, religious, spiritual and prehispanic influences from several cultures around the world gives life to this project. Rescuing and spreading the trascendental musical tradition to fuse it with downtempo deep rhythms all along with vanguard psychedelic elements that gets you into a real state of ceremonial trance. Through music he shows the transcendence of the sounds that our ancestors used to reach a higher state of awareness and pay tribute to the gods; a real spirit manifestation. 


Aasatoma Release:

This track came to life because of the sounds that have a psychological and spiritual power in certain cultures: the mantras. 

Man - Mind
Tra - Instrument

This particular instrument of mind  is called "Aasatoma sad Magaya" and gave me the inspiration to reach illumination.

Original mantra:

Aasatoma sadmagaya
tamasomä jyortigamaya
mrtyormä amrtamgamaya

English:

Drive us trough the asat to the sat
Drive us trough the dark to the light
Drive us trough death to immortality 

When you dance, you are practicing active meditation, and if you listen to this powerful sounds on the dancefloor, it may help you  reach illumination in the subconscious. The release contains three remixes from Luis & María aka Ohxalá, Daniel Andersen aka Discoshaman and Luis Sarrelangue aka Sarrelangue in colaboration with Dirk Stammes Pinto aka Funka. All the remixers are remmarkable producers and musicians, and we all hope you to enjoy this delightful EP.

Indigo (@indigossound) is a producer and DJ originally from Guadalajara, Mexico, currently based in Tulum, his great passion for the music of the 70's (oldie but goodie) and the great respect and admiration for his Latin roots and the electronic scene have driven and motivated him to produce and capture the essence of diverse Latin American cultures with that touch, passion and feeling that music had in the revolution of this in the 70s.

This edit is impregnated with the above mentioned, using as an engine the original track of Dj Shadow "Six Days" released in 2002. The main vocals of the song are sampled from the 1971 song "Six Day War" by British band Colonel Bagshot, with some riffs taken from the 1970 song "I Cry in the Morning" by American singer Dennis Olivieri and taking to another level with Latin rhythms and percussions, as well as a very deep and very groove bassline.

J. Pool is an artist originally from Canada. He began this project while living in the forests of Canada with the intention of creating organic sounding music that captured the essence of his natural surroundings. Over the past few years he has been traveling the world, taking inspiration from the many cultures that he has experienced and absorbing the unique energy of each place, which has helped him to form a style that is a fusion of many elements from around the globe. His love for both music and travel led him to create a portable studio setup which he uses to write and record music everywhere he goes, as well as capturing unique field recordings and nature atmospheres which he incorporates into all of his songs.

The Causa Sui EP was written this last year while traveling 6 months in Sri Lanka, India, and Indonesia.

Anatta is reflection of the peaceful and sublime energy of the jungles and mountains of Sri Lanka and southern India.

Moh Maya was inspired by travels in the northern deserts and ancient cities of India. Moh Maya means "nomadic person" in a dialect of northern India and it represents the spiritual journey of a desert wanderer.

Lacuna was inspired by the ancient dance rituals of Indonesia, it encompasses the tribal essence of the native dance as well as the dark mystic sensation of the rain forest at night.

Zulu Project's music is an electronic cultural blend inspired by his two countries of origin: France and Guinea. Zulu Project starts mixing techno beats from the 90's with traditional sounds while he is in Berlin. Both influences with little in common actually share one root: Simplicity. His curiosity and will to travel and discover the world take him to Buenos Aires where he is involved for a year with the Blue Sunday events in collaboration with the Trash Republique Collective. Back to his home base of Paris, he shares different DJ sets with Marc Romboy and Dan Curtin during the wild parties at Batofar. He is part of the reshaping and evolution of the underground Parisian electronic scene with 'Les ateliers Wonder' that he manages with a partner.
His relentless traveling mind takes him on a trip around the globe for 2 years during which he is part of different music festivals in India, Mexico and Brazil with the Voodoohop Collective. His EP 'Ukuwela' is produced during this world tour and will be available with 'Ohxala record' and will be part of the 'Mozaique' mix from the 'Curuba' label.

'Ukuwela' tells the story of a 2-year trip around the world with a mission: Erasing borders to look for fragments of sounds, dusty landscape and colors to listen to. 'Only one who wanders finds new paths'. 'Ukuwela' means 'to go across' in Zulu and it tells the story of this journey across the globe.

"Rokia Traore is a brilliant singer and guitarist from Mali drawing on the deep musical traditions of her country to create modern Afro-pop.  She wrote her first songs in the mid-90s under the artist direction of another Malian legend, Ali Farka Toure.  Her mysterious, mature  voice hypnotized me many years ago when I saw her on her first tour to the US.  I was inspired to give her gorgeous song "Dounia" a slow-burning down-tempo house edit.  I love the song's melody, structure and how she builds the intensity over the length of the composition."

Drawing inspiration from the sacred volcanic lake Atitlan he calls home in the Mayan highlands of Guatemala, Mixwell weaves his sound from a rich tapestry of cultural influence that invokes the spirits of our ancestral lands while igniting the dancefloor.

"Espíritu de Fuego" explores some of the traditional sounds and textures that have most inspired Mixwell's musical journey - the Afro-Brazilian Berimbau and Cuica on "rebelião", the chilling sound of Colombia's native Gaita flutes on the title track, and the tribal chants on "vudu", all seem to evoke a fiery spirit, a wildly infectious energy that summon the body into ecstatic movement.
