EXZ - Selene (Dunwich Remix)

The mysterious Leipzig based duo JAJA released one of favourite albums of 2016 (Tropical Bird Club) on ynfnd (you need friends not discs) and we have been waiting to release something from them on Shika Shika ever since! 

For this Botanas, JAJA serve us up two humid, organic tracks seeped in dark green vegetation and marked by screeching birds from the canopy and mysterious voices from the forest floor. One for the deep groove.

Iron & Wine - On Your Wings (ᏗrutanᎥ Edit)

Perceptions (Wahrnehmungen) differ, depending on your personal setting. And I like it a lot to meet people that break through usual thinking. People who help expand my own horizon. It’s challenging to recap what you experience as right or wrong. Reality (Wirklichkeiten) are highly perceptual and pluralistic. Optimists perceive a totally different reality than pessimists. There are infinite possibilities (Möglichkeiten) in there. With that in mind it is possible to be open and tolerant for new situations and people.

Bagaluten is a tribute to the KG9. 

Thanks to Ninze and Alaix Pulse for creating and interpreting these songs!

RK015 l Rey&Kjavik - Mountiri LP

Rey&Kjavik has a preference for mystical and spiritual soundscapes in an electronic music context. His debut album, 'Rkadash', released last year, emphasized the artist's state of mind and transfered the creativity of this significant chapter in his life to the dancefloor. But in the same pace as time moves on people do as well, hence the producer has spent and wisely used the past couple of months to come to terms with transforming his newly gained impressions resulting in his second studio album, 'Mountiri' that will be released in december on his own label RKJVK. The approach of 'Mountiri' differs from his first album as Rey&Kjavik created a concept album that strongly focuses on the flow in the style of a good old mixtape that you can listen to in one go. Musically the artist stayed true to himself and yet created an advanced spiritual and mystical piece of art that highlights his versatility by drawing on oriental vibes and desertic rhythms that come in relaxing, as in the album's opener 'Saraswati' (Mountiri album version), but build up tension throughout the album's journey and peak with 'Amaan' before achieving both, peace and freedom in the soundscapes of the LP's name giving and closing track 'Mountiri'. With his second album Rey&Kjavik crosses the frontiers of a visible reality being turned into an auditory experience and to become one in the musically experienced moment.

Rey&Kjavik - Nahimana (RKJVK)

Album Credits:
Original Tracks by: Santi & Tuğçe, @santiandtugce
Cover Art by: Scott Partridge, www.jevaart.com/

Album Description:

Terminal Caribe is the newest album of Santi & Tuğçe who weave timeless, borderless melodies with global, dance floor rhythms. Similar to their previous releases which take listeners on a sonic adventure all the way from the coasts of the Black Sea to the Parana River, Terminal Caribe presents a peculiarly personal, yet undoubtedly universal odyssey exploring the deep interrelations between music, movement, and memory. Named after a bus stop where the duo had the initial inkling for this album, Terminal Caribe serves as the point of departure for an entrancing journey through a wildly varied world of sound. Soulful melodies, captivating harmonies, colorful orchestration, polyrhyhmic percussions and marimbas, and deep bass lines combine with heartwarming vocals and the sounds of sea to tell a tale that is at once epic, melancholic, spacy and irresistibly groovy.

Santi (from Asunción, Paraguay) and Tuğçe (from Istanbul, Turkey) left their homes to follow their dreams of music and have been road companions and musical partners for more than a decade. They collaborated on two full length-albums, four EPs and numerous singles which captivated listeners worldwide. With their 2016 EP El Regreso del Gallito, “Santi & Tuğçe rewrote Paraguayan folklore” (Thump Vice, Brazil) and with their Songs for My Grandmother, selected as one of the best albums from Turkey in 2017 by Beehype, they remade Turkish classics for contemporary audiences. Drawing on their eclectic background and constant pulse for innovation, Santi & Tuğçe once again reinvent an unpredictable and enticing soundscape of the Caribbean and beyond.

No Return - Lyrics:

Time to leave this island again 
Our ceaseless search for new shores began 
Like many restless wanderers before 
Who reached this land with a thirst for more 
We longed for water to grow our budding hearts 
Knowing our time has come, we lovingly depart 

Many days we stumbled along 
Many waves we rode alone 
Many nights we pondered upon 
Distant sands to build a dream on 
Like many restless wanderers before 
Who reached this land with a thirst for more 
We longed for water to grow our budding hearts 
Knowing our time has come, we lovingly depart 

Many days we stumbled along 
Many waves we rode alone 
If you ask “why tell me this”, allow me to explain 
I don’t need no sympathy, but I do want a friend 
Like many restless wanderers before 
Who reached this land with a thirst for more 
We longed for water to grow our budding hearts 
Knowing our time has come, we lovingly depart

Atahualpa Yupanqui - Los Ejes De Mi Carreta (Ulises Edit)

We're glad to share with you a revolutionary collab between 2 unique and leading musicians in the live electronic scene. The connection between @nadavdagon and @jpattersson was instant and precise.
The virtuoso trumpet, the fragrances of the dub and Johann's Balkan twist together with the addictive, tribal & ceremonial rhythm of Nadav, gave birth to 'The landing'. In different times this creation would be played on every downtempo gathering on the globe. This splendid collab contains a deep and profound beat, mind-blowing melodies, and lots of joy. This sound got picked up by the dutch vagabond @krautmusica and the south africa based producer @leeu88 put in two various thrilling and powerful remixes. This global collaboration between 4 different continents.

Info:
Rey&Kjavik is the alias of Alexander Schomann, DJ and producer from Offenbach, Germany. His musical home embeds itself to House and Electronic Music landscapes: Organic, Tech and Deep House. All of them live and unite here peacefully in one spot. Rhythms waft like a mantra through the vastness of his sound spheres, shallow melodic blossoms sprout and prepare the stage for the big parade. Schomann feels at home in clubs like Watergate or Scorpios however he can also set the roof on fire in front of an international audience at Burning-Man or at Fusion for instance. No matter where, Rey&Kjavik offers a spiritual rousing path, which enlightens and leads into other spaces, places and spheres. Sounds like a soul saving island on a journey through the inexhaustible universe? It is. (Text: von der haardt)
