Quinoa Experience, the Madrid based collective, is eager to unveil the long-anticipated first release of their new label – Quinoa Cuts - entitled “The Nutritionist’s Guide to the Galaxy, Vol. I”.

On the A we find a ‘’Vitamin’’ side, where fresh, subtle and deep grooves will stimulate the listeners’ appetite to get them levitating, introspectively. While the B-side, the ‘’Protein’’, is best saved for climatic dancefloor moments and muscle-building workouts.

Emerging from Tunisia, Pan-J serves us the vitamin supplements. Solid and funked-up basslines with hefty doses of swing amount to sunny and radiant minimal house productions. Colorful and engaging, his tracks will dissipate all traces of fatigue from your body. Two ritual-ready tunes with a proggy approach that don’t  neglect moments of suspense.
 
Flip it and we find the protein powders by a Ukrainian artist Roma Khropko, co-founder of Criminal Practice – a prominent Kiev DJ collective and label. His side speeds ahead with playful organ chords, subversive solar rave fits with killer samples, sweeping percussion shifts and delightful switch-ups that send the record straight into orbit.

Are you ready for an intergalactic journey through the sounds of Planet ‘E’?
Once again, we find that each side of the record has its unique flavor, guiding our curiosity through an out-of-this-world experience.

The ‘Sweet’ side begins with Magic Ambience. First made in 2003, here, the ethereal pads, melancholic melodies, and the broken beats evolve into a bass-driven house groove drenched in sucrose. A tasty start to the narrative that leaves you wanting more.

The A2, Weather Morphing, a track initiated in 2004 takes you straight into and beyond the atmosphere of Planet ‘E’ on a trip through the glowing and strobing planet rings. This track captures the volatile weather of our fantasies, with syrupy yet psychedelic electro-breaks complemented by cosmic arpeggios and epic chords.

On the ‘Sour’ side, Kick It Then Drop It, originally recorded in 1999 is both a hymn of Planet ‘E’ and a full-power kicker that will leave you in the right place to party. Hardcore, old-school breakbeat meets funky acid lines for a high rave energy combo that promises some screwface on any dancefloor.

Empire State Beat (Phat Mix) is the final destination of this EP. Made in 2004, chock-full of energy,  this nostalgic composition takes off as a night-time, bassline driver that will keep the floor going at full power. 

Don’t miss your chance to embark another cosmic journey with us.

We commence our long-time coming podcast series with Quinoa's co-founder, our visual ninja, the bamboo jedi - @andreisolarpunk aka Solar Punk. As a resident DJ, Solar Punk has been at the core of Quinoa's growth since the early days.

In his usual repertoire: a vinyl-only set, we go for a spin through the nostalgia of 00's musical domain with cuts ranging from robotic disco, synth-pop, tech house, to more solar-drama, retro video game electro kickers.

Our third instalment of the series comes from Chris Gorrie. Years after founding Quinoa, his drive to dig deeper and take the project to new heights is stronger than ever. 

In this mix, recorded in late 2023, he presents a fresh yet cozy selection of sunny tunes. Perfect to enjoy with juices and a jays on the beach or at home with the last summer rays.

This record is a sonic journey that bridges past and present, blending nostalgic analog warmth with a modern edge. A message that resonates loud and clear as you dive into both sides of this vinyl opus.

Side A opens with two tracks that deliver a lush, analog-driven soundscape, evocative of the iconic synth-wave movement of the ‘80s. These compositions are delicately interwoven with electro-inspired nuances, creating a bittersweet atmosphere that dances between melancholy and romance. It’s music that strikes deep emotional chords while transporting you to a dreamlike, neon-lit past.

Side B takes a darker turn, shifting the narrative entirely. While the golden-era analog textures remain present, these tracks explore a more progressive, shadowy, and haunting realm. They generate an intense sense of entropy, awakening the psyche and stirring emotions in unexpected ways. This side is a deep dive into a more introspective and visceral space, one that challenges the listener to confront their inner world.

Marvin’s EP is a record that demands to be felt as much as it is heard. Whether you’re a synth-wave enthusiast, an electro explorer, or simply a lover of forward-thinking electronic music, this release will resonate with you.

January 2025. Serra Grande, Bahia. 
The sound of the forest dampening the steps of waery travelers. The air dense with the song of the Araponga. In the distance, amidst the rustling leaves and tropical raindrops, a man’s voice can be heard “P… Cara… A…zing”. A child’s soul expressed through the body of a Japanese man plays ‘Gishiki’ for the first time with the innocence and wonder of a little alchemist that just turned a rock into gold. We were captivated by the elegance of the composition. A friendship was struck and months of work followed. 

Fast forward and we find ourselves down by a familiar Portuguese lake. Rushing towards another Floresta just in time to hand over the test press before a magical set. ‘Suiryuu’ plays and everything magically falls into place. 

We hope this record touches you the way it touched us and reminds us how life can really be Pra Caralho Amazing.
