In the native tongue of the South American tribe Mapuche, there exists the word ‘MENOKO’. Deep within the Andean Forests there are sacred places, springs of purity known as Menokos. Hidden and untouched by man or animal, they are whispered, home of virgin water. Womb of the natural cycle from which plants and herbs of extraordinary medicinal abilities are nurtured.

@BarrioLindo feels a strong bond to the native tribes of his Argentinian home. Ancestral cultures are of great importance, providing a wealth of inspiration. An instrument maker by trade, using his bare hands he constructs many ethnical instruments like Andean flutes, African harps, string instruments from India and so on. This fascination with indigenous sounds is reflected within his music and themes with the use of samples and tribal instrumentation. While understanding his work is far from that of the native cultures, he finds ways to incorporate these influences through fusions of sounds. Drawing a parallel, worlds both old and new align.

'MENOKO' comes on limited purple double vinyl as well as a limited handmade and handpainted purple cassette edition.

Barrio Lindo 'Libres' (Glenn Astro's Rhythm Tool)' (Menoko 2LP/Digital - Project: Mooncircle, 2014)

Berlin based label and creative collective operating in the left-field sphere of electronic music since 2002.

Audiophilität verzückt sogleich dein Seelenreich , macht so manche Seele weich und fordert uns zum Tanze gleich. 

Just a music lover with a weakness for slow rollin, deep throbbing basslines and trippy sounds on vinyl. - Uses the Pioneer PLX-1000 turntables to pitch down every record the way it suits best right in this moment. - Doesn’t bother about borders or genres. Breaks through stereotyped thinking without any respect!
