The idea of Medusa being able to turn a man, or indeed woman, to stone is a rather terrifying one. With just one ghastly look this hideous woman can rip every last drop of soul out of your body and leave you feeling as cold as an elephant taking his gap year in Antarctica.

But fear not, this is no such Medusa. No, this 'Medusa' will have you feeling all kids of Caribbean head as the dubby sounds from Rodion give your ears that well-deserved holiday. Coming it at a mammoth ten minutes, these sounds will have you floating on air as your mind drifts to a warmer place. Settle yourself down and prepare to give your ears the holiday they deserve...

PREMIERE: Rodion - Medusa (Alien Alien Caribbean Dub)

The cult flies ever closer to the sun with sonic assistance from NICOLA CRUZ, MOSCOMAN, XANGA, and Malka Tuti members 84PC.

One of the key emerging artists out of South America in recent years, Nicola Cruz is fresh off his debut album on ZZK and primed to take off with his folklorically dope live set. ‘Pagano’ might be his most dance-floor friendly track to date, sounding like it came straight out of Compass Point studios carrying the smell of good ganja.

Next up is Disco Halal’s MOSCOMAN, kicking it in a latino style for a change, flexing his skills into different lingual terrain, masterfully mixing things up in his inimitably unconventional style.

Aussie favela-funklord Xanga is back with MC Sheikh Djibouti, with a blunted piece of snake charmed spacey hip hop. Dope.

Finally, Tel Aviv’s 84PC, a trio comprised of Malka Tuti’s Katzi Kenneth, Asaf Samuel and Naduve, deliver a beautiful piece of sun-kissed guitar prog downtempo. Mellow, melting, mental, magic mushroom music.

Finally.....
Lithuanian bandit and current Multi Culti tour poster boy Manfredas (who delayed the package by 3 months + some) weighs in with an incredibly dope, hook-filled revision. Worth the wait for his weight in cult gold.  
This is the final remix on the package due to hit the digital shelves in a couple of weeks, followed by the vinyl which is making its way through the presses at the factory as we type this message.

MC031 - NICOLA CRUZ - VISIONES

A remix pack is nothing more than the universe experiencing its own dance music subjectively. With this in mind, we took Ecuadorian sound-seer Nicola Cruz’s latest audiovisions and refracted them through the minds of some of the world’s hottest young cultural interpreters. To provide you with the best possible approximation of what the results feel like, we then sent an intern to loiter outside a local Heart-Opening Ceremony to get people’s unfiltered reactions just moments after they awakened to their new place in the universal order. 

TZANTZA (SIMPLE SYMMETRY REMIX):
“I know I can now speak the truth of who I am and what I feel. I am a being composed of divine light and the kind of pure exhilaration embodied by percussive workouts forged by artists hot off releases with Disco Halal. I need to speak with my loved ones to tell them I’ve forgiven everything and that this track deserves their full support."

BRUXO (JAJA REMIX):
““Gratitude is not a gesture, it is an inevitable state of spiritual being. So as a fan of timeless sonic archetypes like ‘Folklorica’ and ’NuExotica,’ I cannot help but smile to myself and know that the cosmos will always respond to my wishes with untold abundance. Killer bassline, btw."

TZANTZA (YOR KULTURA REMIX):
“I have communed with the serpents and the pumas in the Grand Palace. They spoke of pan-ethnic downtempo grooves birthed in the nether regions of a great continent. I cannot express my sense of relief at having their prophetic hissing and growling confirmed by the musics of this plane."

INVOCACION (UJI REMIX):
“I have been reborn into a Golden Eternity of unified consciousness. I can feel the total activation of the World Chakra, with this particular remix representing the brilliant magenta glow emanating from just beneath the Global Pelvis, located somewhere near the Andes. I feel refreshed and renewed and ready to meet whatever the dance floor brings me in this life and the next."

BRUXO (VON PARTY REMIX):
“I have heard this before. It is the sound of laughter flowing from the third mouth of the Man of Acid and Culture, my spirit guide. He told me he would visit me again in a multitude of forms: DJ, producer, label boss, and lifestyle guru. And so it begins."

MULTI CULTI 037 - ANDI OTTO - BOW WAVE

In our most private moments, we have often thought of Multi Culti as an educational enterprise: as you listen to our music and stare at our artwork, you are absorbing information in a way that might conceivably be defined as "learning." Our latest release brings this theoretically reasonable fantasy one step closer to fruition, as we welcome Hamburg-based musician and composer Andi Otto (Ph.D) to our roster of artists.

A deep listening experience focused on repetition and timbre, Bow Wave was made using rare and unique instruments such as a special sensor bow for cello (and other string instruments) known as the “Fello,” which Otto developed during his residencies at the STEIM research centre in Amsterdam.The album also features vocals from award-winning Indian playback singer, actor, and TV anchor M.D. Pallavi, a frequent Otto collaborator, recorded while the two were touring Japan.

The digital edition of Bow Wave includes 10 tracks, while the eight-track vinyl adds remixes by Ecuadorian folklorica wizard Nicola Cruz and Parisian “adult disco” purveyor Golden Bug, both of which will be released separately in a digital remix pack alongside reworks from Brazil's Ricardo Vincenzo and Norway's Center of the Universe. You are free to purchase all of them.

@Leonoroficial - Our newest member of the Tom Tom Disco Crew opens with an a lethal  party starter!

We got some pure, dark, organic, worldly sounds with a bunch of psychedelic interpretations from masters like Ali Kuru, Richard Rossa, beside the label-newcomers Son & Nasiri. Ali Kuru puts a fantastic Turkish hypno-funk twist to his interpretation, and makes it a crazy psych-disco banger, while Richard Rossa is taking a slow, hypnotic dub-minimal approach. 
Nasiri, a traditional Sufi musician ads his fantastic sets of live-instruments, like the Oud and Flute, to the original sounds and evolves the track in into a organic, epic and magic journey. 
Mexian born SÒN also spice things up with an organic and pumping tech-vibe. All this makes for an absolutely BOMB release. About time to get this in orbit! <3 <3

Shifra Rifka - Need You To Lift Me Up (jiony Remix)

Brainchild of Multi Culti A&R, Sascha Funke and Niklas Wandt were introduced by Dreems, who charted a course for the seasoned Berlin-based producer and funky multi-percussionist and singer. 

Wandt was just about to enter the scene forcefully with his collaborative 2LP with Wolf Müller and the debut single of his band Neuzeitliche Bodenbeläge. In the icey cold of his warehouse rehearsal space, Funke had him record a variety of slapped, bowed and scratched percussions (congas, talking drum, prepared cymbals played with a bass bow) over his tracks. These first efforts were later expanded into joint sessions at Sascha's home studio and, within a few weeks, the journey reached it’s destination: Wibe strasse, Deutschland.

At first glance, they seem an odd couple: a techno veteran of almost thirty years meets a side-burned upstart socialized in Free Jazz and Krautrock. but the shared sonic influences come through in the hypnotic, dubbed-out sound, perhaps rooted in the close connection the two share to the Rheinland region in West Germany, Funke as part of the Kompakt family and Wandt by origin and socialization in the Cologne and Düsseldorf music scene centered around the Salon des Amateurs. Regional flavours, global appeal. Multi Culti, promoting local collaboration, one freaky record at a time.
