Buongiorno Boys - Autostrada Mix

Upcoming release on Cómeme! 

Gregorio Gomez aka Gladkazuka is a mythical figure from Medellín’s underground nightlife, contributing since pre – smartphone ages with energetic live sets to the celebration of life in the convulsive surrounding of the Colombian city. After playing and touring alongside Matias Aguayo with “The Desdemonas” and contributing with the club smash hits “Ihr Euer” and “Futuro Chaos” to the “Solidarity Forever” series on Cómeme - Gladkazuka is back with a full EP in which highly emotive and sensual electro dance fantasies culminate to “The Drop”. Gomez’ creations are nocturnal and lush, utopian and melancholic - underground dance pop that would be mainstream in a better world.

However these songs were created in a place where an unseen destruction of nature is taking place, and - in mids of times of supposed peace agreements - social leaders are being assassinated under the eyes of a new right wing government. Meanwhile the societies are fragmented towards a growing individualism and competition, exchanging dignity for an ideal of consumerism.
In this chaos, music becomes the celebration of life.

“Naturalia”, the first track of the EP reflects this with its lushness and its jungle - like humid warmth, “Flancing” with its happy flying fishes and “El Coral” with its jittering electric eels.

“The Drop” is decontextualized Electro and New Wave – echoes of dissolving into utopian dreaming, longing for better times, like vampire bats, hanging in their caves, waiting for the night to come.

As part of Bruits Des La Passion, they have been forming the Parisian underground for a while now with killer parties, cutting edge artwork and the necessary bit of humor. We're very happy they have provided us with some of their signature down-tempo sound that makes their sets so special.

New York's Alliance Upholstery have been quietly putting out slick vinyl cuts since the summer of 2017, attracting star remixes such as Jex Opolis, Jacques Renault and Justin Strauss. For their seventh EP, a various artist offering there's more quality in store featuring four tracks of breezy, languid electronica. Bobby Bricks 'Orchid Island' is the pick for us; a polished balearic house jam with shimmering melodies, Eastern strings and  the all important 707 rhythm track.  Dig out your Espadrilles, summer inches ever closer...

In the evergreen forests, along with the interwoven paths of the Indians, among the Ancient Pyramids surrounded by Amazonian spirals, our lone pilgrim is steadily overcoming challenges he faces along the way. Stripping away all illusions, he reaches an even deeper level of introspection. 

On his path illuminated by the mystical knowledge from the otherworldly dimensions, our pilgrim wonders about his higher purpose. With this in mind, he reaches his destination. Here, all possible and impossible are tightly knitted together, creating kaleidoscopic patterns ... What a sacred place ...

Images of animals, people, stars and distant planets performing the dance of life appear before his eyes ...

Where is he going to go now? Which direction to follow? Is he going to go right? Left? Go up or perhaps, all the way down?

He closes his eyes ... Deep inhale followed by slow exhale ... Doors of perception open up slowly. Gentle lull of solitary meditation reveals a clue that puts everything in place :

- “It's not so much about the direction, but why you stick to it” ...

The moment his eyes gently blink open ... He chooses love ...

In 2017, “Sweet As Broken Dates", our Grammy-nominated compilation of stellar Somali music from before the country’s civil war, captured the entire world's imagination. The songs revived heartwarming memories of a lavish Mogadishu and Hargeisa not known to many non-Somalis, and in many ways allowed the Somali diaspora to reconnect with a time and place ransacked by the wicked fates of history.

All our due diligence and research led us to believe that some of finest music ever made firmly stopped when the war started. Hibo Nuura’s song on the compilation, “If the Artist Lets You Down”, added to this perception, as the widely respected Nuura chastised her fellow musicians for what she saw as a failure of their responsibility to keep the country’s rich music culture alive amid tragedy.

But we were wrong. The music did not stop. Both famous and obscure Somali musicians quietly kept their culture alive in the 1990s and 2000s on drum machines, synthesizers, and laptops. The Somali pentatonic sound melded perfectly with new digital equipment, almost exhibiting an even more authentic sound as analog western instrumentation vacated the repertoire. Most of these recordings were kept private or shared in small circles, never reaching the same audiences in luxurious venues as the music of the 70s and 80s.

This is Chapter 2 in the Somali music story, not Vol. 2. 

At Ostinato Records, we want to reimagine the sequel for music compilations. Too often, “Vol. 2” is filled with the choice cuts that simply did not qualify for the first volume. As storytellers and image-makers, this approach needs a rethink. We have a responsibility to carry the story forward, to not simply rehash what has already been available, and to give agency to the recent past rather than constantly hark back to the 70s and 80s.

“Import/Export Mogadishu” is the side A of a mixtape to announce that we are deeply immersed in producing "Sweet As Broken Dates Chapter 2" and to give fans who relished the first compilation a sneak peak into the direction we’re headed. Side B of the mixtape will be an insight into Chapter 3.

The selection begins with a slow-burning groover by the lively Xabib Shaarabi, a key Somali music figure in the 1990s whose digital disco style was celebrated in a short but viral documentary by The Guardian. We are also proud to announce that Xabib Shaarabi along with lifetime achievement award winner, Cabdinuur Alale, will be performing in Berlin on March 23 as part of the Find the File Festival (https://www.facebook.com/events/1142289929266253/)

These are the next stages in the Somali music revival: the advancement of a story with endless chapters and the resurrection of former greats and live bands, reunited to showcase what no war could vanquish: the resilience and adaptability of the Somali experience.

En novembre dernier, Yoshi Hitchcock avait été invité pour fêter le premier anniversaire du Café Mancuso de Bordeaux. Il avait alors proposé une sélection musicale de près de 7 heures dans le plus pur esprit du Loft. Voici une sélection de 2 heures qu'il avait préparée il y a quelques semaines à peine. Malgré notre peine due à sa disparition, nous tenions à mettre en ligne ce mix.

Last November, Yoshi Hitchcock have been invited to celebrate the first anniversary of Bordeaux's Café Mancuso. He did an almost 7 hours musical selection in pure Loft's spirit. Here is a 2 hours selection he prepared only a few weeks ago. Despite our sorrow due to his missing, it was important for us to upload this mix.

Yoshi Hitchcock - Tribute Mix at Café Mancuso

Tempo Dischi is a new Italian label created by a collective of DJs and diggers, manufactured and distributed by Rush Hour, created on a mission to discover and repress classics gems of the italo disco, afro and cosmic scene. The 001 is one of the key projects of the underground Italo Disco scene : Steel Mind. Originally produced in 1982, the release has been remastered and re-packaged, and is set for an official vinyl only release on 8th March 2019. ‘It was the end of the '70s and at that time Disco Music was very popular. I was in a band called Caelestium, and we were playing in the most important clubs in Italy…Around the beginning of the 80s, I started to feel the desire to make a different kind of sound and I decided to start my solo project creating songs like 'Boss Man' and 'Lionel' that were closer to the Krautrock style’ recalls Piero Torsani, the producer behind this project.
These songs have become a cult for many djs, including Daniele Baldelli, Beppe Loda and Alexander Robotnick and they still sound contemporary. The Tempo Dischi collective is responsible of a club friendly edit of ‘Boss Man’. And after a deeper search into Pietro Torsani’s original music archive, an unreleased track has surfaced we could not resist to give to the world: 'Summer in The City’ featuring the voice of Marisa Lucà, at that time singer of Caelestium.
