MD Pallavi & Andi Otto - An Unwritten Word

With "Gnawave", Gats and Khalil Mounji invite us on a musical journey that transcends borders and genres, fusing Moroccan Gnawa tradition with the electrifying energy of Berlin's underground scene.
In honor of the late Maallem Said Benthami Oughassal, the revered Gnawa master whose spirit continues to inspire, "Gnawave" is a heartfelt dedication that pays homage to his enduring legacy. May he rest in peace, his influence resonates through every note and beat of this album. As we embrace the profound influence of Maallem Said Benthami Oughassal on Khalil' playing, we also recognize the importance of supporting his family, especially his 7-year-old daughter Rihanna, during this challenging time. To give back to the family of the master, we have established a fund from the proceeds of "Gnawave." We encourage our listeners and fans to contribute generously to this cause, ensuring that the future of this young talent is secure and her dreams are nurtured, just as her father's music has enriched our lives. Let us come together in unity, just as "Gnawave" unites traditions and genres, to provide tangible support to the family of a true Gnawa legend.

Hermetics - ZZK Mixtape Vol. 38

"Curating this mixtape came about from a natural impulse that leads me to create a suggestion, an atmosphere and an imaginary that is eclectic, broken, disruptive, futuristic and exotic, with no ties or genres or pretensions of purism or predefined aesthetics. My goal is to immerse myself in all that is wild and raw in the rhythm, naked and free, like a ritual in name and in honour of the fusion and the diversity that transcend and break with the status quo. I aspire to explore a global sound that is unifying, celebratory and Dionysian.." - Hermetics

Scottish electronic artist / wanderer Kusht unveils two mesmerizing cosmic doused tracks, blending psychedelic grooves and downtempo rhythms into a hypnotic sonic journey.
Drawing from global influences, Kush specialises in sonic storytelling, inviting listeners to wander into warped escapism. With intricate synth melodies and blissed out basslines, both compositions offer an ethereal experience, perfect for introspection or dance-floor euphoria alike.

Forest Levels EP

Canopy Callin

PREMIERE : Kusht - Canopy Callin (Paradise Palms Records)

From the forthcoming Marewrew compilation on Pingipung.
Release: MAY 10th.
Press contact: flow@morrmusic.com

Marewrew (pronounced: Ma-leoo-leoo / mɑleːu̯leːu̯) is a female vocal group that sings traditional Ainu songs. The music of the long-suppressed people from northern Japan has been a particular focus of Pingipung's output in recent years, together with Oki Kano who recorded and produced many Ainu artists. Following various re-releases by Umeko Ando, the late grande dame of traditional Ainu music, the spotlight is now on the a cappella music of Marewrew, which by the way means ‘butterfly’ in Ainu. Attentive listeners will recognise the voices, as some of the band have already performed as backing singers on recordings by Umeko Ando. Their a cappella versions of traditional Ainu music shed a whole new light on the fascinating songs that have been passed down through generations exclusively through song.

'Ukouk' means 'round singing', which refers to the form in which Marewrew perform and record. Many of the songs are set as tightly interwoven canons: one starts, the others join in, but slightly out of phase: Almost like dub echoes, except that they are sung and not created in post-production. The short songs sometimes unfold into a wondrous trance ('Sikata Kuykuy', 'Honkaya') that seems to spin round and round - if singing can actually dance, then this is how. Nature sounds and woodpeckers can be heard ('Hawsa’), and there is a funny miniature in which the ladies imitate birdsong ('Takuro'). Things get hypnotic with an evocative song about stranded whales ('Hunpe Yan Na’) or an ode to the Orca as ‘Little Sea God’ (‘Pon Repun Kamuy’). The album culminates in unexpected pop ('Yaykatekara') or cumbia moments ('Kanerenren') with a band line-up including percussions and Oki Kano on the famous Tonkori harp.

Marewrew are Rekpo, Hisae and Mayunkiki. Rim-Rim was a member of the group until 2022. Mayunkiki reflects on the ambivalence of performing traditional music as a contemporary band: "When we first started performing, we all thought we had to perform in an Ainu way. But over time we have become more and more open to new ways of singing. I think if our way of singing is seen as the only, correct way of our tradition, then it won't spread, it's not alive. We like it when it's traditional, but it changes, just like our voices have changed over time.” ( Quote from the film 'Marewrew's Voice' by Eiko Soga (2021))

'Ukouk' is a selection of Marewrew's work from the last 13 years, compiled from CD releases by Pingipung's Andi Otto. Oki Kano has contributed unreleased material and added new versions of the songs which had only been released in Japan. The album has been remastered by Kassian Troyer and is now available on LP for the first time.

Marewrew - Etukuma Kara (M.RUX Remix)

team up: @chkkba & @mrux

The track "Small Car" by chöko aba & M.RUX traces its origins back to the original song of the same name by Marvin Pontiac, the alter ego of John Lurie, featured on the 1999 album The Legendary Marvin Pontiac, Greatest Hits. This album stands out for its fresh, humorous, and charismatic storytelling, seamlessly blending jazz, blues, minimal jazz, funk, and world music, all enhanced by hypnotic, repetitive elements.
Initially, chöko aba began working on a short version of "Small Car" on his own. When M.RUX heard this early sketch, he instantly fell in love with it and asked for a copy. Sensing the potential for something more expansive, chöko  invited M.RUX to collaborate on the project, and together, they set out to create a more extensive version.
What began as a simple edit evolved into a creative reinterpretation. Perhaps inspired by the playful and enigmatic spirit of Marvin Pontiac, or driven by the technical challenges of reworking the original, the duo took the track in a new direction. The final piece features Morgan Freeman as a somewhat unreliable AI speech generator, narrating the whimsical tale of small farmers venturing out to explore the world in their makeshift tin-can cars.
chöko aba & M.RUX filled this world with their distinctive blend of Dub, DownTempo, and obscure sounds, while retaining the original's quirky genius and the chants of the small farmers. The result is an imaginative departure from the source material, yet it remains true to the spirit of Marvin Pontiac.
