TchaKalla is an electronic-organic music project based in Sintra, Portugal, by Kula Lisboa,
Ricardo Passos and Eyal Siri, musicians and producers with an eclectic musical background and experience.

The three intend to spark the listener´s awareness of the shared individual and collective view through a transformative journey of rhythms and sounds infused by ancestral knowledge and contemporary reality.

The project explores the connection between the ever-evolving technological musical innovation and the archetypal practices of the forgotten shamanic cultures of the world.

Using multi-ethnical instruments and percussions, rhythm and groove machines, synthesizers and vocal guidance, ranging from downtempo to tribal and dance music, TchaKalla creates a soundscape for conscious body activation, dynamic meditation, movement and dance.

With their unique blend of origins from the African diaspora, Central and Southern America, Asia and the Middle East, the group brings a tailored story of human evolution emerging from the deep connection of the ancient and the new.

The result of a meeting between two electronic and instrumental music alchemists, the duo Soloma & Alizarina sounds like a colourful odyssey between air and water.

Nourished by world and jazz influences, along with a strong electronic tinge, the duo takes you into a gentle technoid trance. Looming over the abyss and soaring above the clouds, suave marimba notes and lyrical clarinet flights combine with an unstoppable groove and polyrhythm.

Dive lightly into this delicate sensory spell.

2 Years after Juliano Gomez - Panzer Kunst was released we revisit the EP through the hands of AmuAmu, Max TenRoM and Nathan Hall.
AmuAmu version of Rituales will take you on an exotic and stompy journey in the deep jungle. Max TenRoM´s melodies bring freshness and calmness to Sete Flechas, perfect for the morning breeze or the orange skies of a beach sunset. Nathan Hall takes Panzer Kunst and transforms it into a retro-futuristic banger.

Lilova wants to say that music embraces and unites this world and all of us. We may not know the language that this voice is singing about, but we feel the love and passion throughout their music. Rhythmic and mysterious, mystical sounds filled with punchy beats delivering a good message.

In Who are you people are compared to wild animals in the jungle. The point is that people, in pursuit of power, money and all other good things, are ready to eat each other.

Shanti tells us about the thoughts and voices that haunt our heads. But love wins in everything and tells you how to make the right choice.

Beyond the hush of earthly weight,
a silence sings — and I drift.

No footsteps here,
only echoes made of stars,
soft pulses through a silver mist.

Time unravels,
like threads of light slipping through fingers,
and thought becomes a slow, forgotten wave.

In this skyless orbit,
I float — not falling, not rising,
just being.

Cloud Zero is not a place,
but a hush between moments,
a breath between heartbeats,
where everything ceases,
and yet… everything begins.

Born in Rio de Janeiro, he was suspended for Xangô ogã at eight years old, which became the awakening to a life dedicated to liturgical percussion. At age of 19 he moved to the United States, where he would remain for 17 years, playing with great names of salsa, Latin jazz, and Afro-Cuban folklore. Back in Brazil, he played and recorded with several Brazilian artists, from Nando Reis to Monobloco, from Ramiro Musotto to Baby do Brazil, from Humberto Gessinger to Pavilhão 9, etc. His first solo CD, "Bá" was nominated for the Brazilian Music Prize, and is now preparing to release his second album, "RITUAL".

Leo Leobons - Patuáde IFÁ (ohxalá Remix)

@yemanjo

"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.

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.

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.

Causa Sui EP

J Pool - Anatta (Originl Mix)

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.
