B2. TC80 - Zotra

In this last 2021 Edition of our Record store owner Podcast Series, we are blessed to onboard the one and only Gustavo Cardenas, a foundational member of our close friend Marla Records store. 

Always immersed in different projects, Gustavo co-founded Panea Records and is a current resident in the “Schlau” parties.

Spending his youth in Valencia and learning from illegal raves, Gustavo moved to Berlin and instantly changed the way he perceived the electronic music scene. Highly influenced by the underground dj's at the moment he embraced the importance of the 12” in the city, which has clearly drafted a path in his career. 

With no further due, get cozy and enjoy this interesting ride with Gustavo!

#143 - Patrisha

"Lost, Not Gone" is an emotional journey in three chapters, moving through fragility, inner blocks, and ultimately, release.
The EP was born from a personal need for clarity — a desire to observe my own shadows without filters, but with honest awareness.
Each track reflects a distinct moment in this process: from the effort of standing back up, to the acceptance of pain, and finally, a form of conscious distance and calm.
The sound blends melodic house, emotional minimalism, and cinematic elements, always leaving space for reflection.
This is music meant to be truly listened to — more than just club material, it’s meant to accompany those on an inner journey.

"Still Trying" speaks of the struggle to rise again, always.
Even when negative thoughts hold us back, even when giving up feels easier than moving forward.
This track is an act of emotional resilience, but not a forced celebration of positivity — it acknowledges how difficult it is to keep trying.
It’s like apologizing to yourself for the times you let those thoughts win, while promising to try again anyway.

"To No One" is a silent dedication to myself.
It comes from the need to accept a difficult truth: we can’t change how others behave, even when it hurts us.
The track is built on an emotional loop, intentionally repetitive, representing a persistent pain — but also the strength that grows from self-compassion.
Gentle shifts in harmony act as small gestures of encouragement I give to myself.
It’s not a resolution, but an act of inner resistance.

"Out of Self" is a journey beyond the self — a detached look at one’s own experience.
Creating distance from negative thoughts can become a form of liberation, a way to regain clarity and reconnect with what still feels good.
It’s not about denying pain, but about choosing not to stay trapped in it.
The sound opens up and breathes, as if the air were finally moving again — a temporary peace, just enough to begin creating again.

To No One

Secret Soul Society, aka South Wales's Cal Gibson, continues his red-hot streak of form with four original jams for Hell Yeah that effortlessly weave decades of influences into intimate, unusual sounds that go from Balearic daydreams to after-hours soul burners.

Gibson was one-half of Nottingham's deep house and downtempo outfit Neon Heights back in the 2000s, a collective that label head Marco has long admired. He has landed here before with the superb Keep The Mystique in 2023, a 15-track collection of brand new curveball cuts built from lovingly sourced samples. Since then, he has continued to collide jazz, funk, Afro, beats, dub, soul and reggae on Paper Wave and Magic Wand.

'Happy To Be' opens with gentle, sun-soaked grooves, swirling keys and dreamy pads that evoke a hazy Mediterranean sunset. Nostalgic soul samples tug at the heart while the track’s laid-back vibe is perfect for golden-hour moments. 'Orange Surprise' is a magical slice of downtempo bliss with hints of romantic vocals. It's built on soft broken rhythms and drifts between ambient soul and laid-back electronica, perfect for introspective moments or late-night winding down.

'Keep On Trying' flips the script with more texture. The synths are crystalline, the pads are sugary, and the meandering bassline unfolds in wonky fashion while soft male vocals bring a steamy edge. Last but not least, 'What You Do To Me' is funky and slow motion disco with 80s synths and reverb that drowns you in good vibes.

This EP is Secret Soul Society at his most expressive and emotive.

Visual interpretation by Christophe Mauberqué.
He works exclusively on film, a format he loves above all: the element of surprise when retrieving new photos from the lab, the inherent nostalgia / blissfulness due to the colors & the grain and the simple fact that analogue pictures are permanent. He is also the founder and curator of the instagram account Analogue People, which features film photographers from all around the world. As a photographer, emotion is the trigger, more than technique. He nevertheless places light & composition, shadow & framing as the center of his work. But around that, he lets moments, feelings & intuition guide his photographic choices.
