DIG002

Since spells emerged to defend and abreact ourselves, the underworld became involved in corporal and traumatic tragedies.
Same way with this story —which begins with a young man's demise—, where each tune drops us a chapter that represents every stage of his journey around an egyptian mummification process, between struggles, affliction and ecstasy. 

Thus, among these conflicted and cathartic sounds, @mesqit blends reggaeton, trap and funk carioca to hand over ‘Coffin Sounds’ EP, objectifying this earthy triangulation.
Besides, technoid master ‘@galtier‘ and hardcore chief ‘@fkoff1963’ reinterprets ‘Rebirth’, offering a new veritable UK and hardcore bass power load, respectively, and begetting a unusual atmosphere of calentura.

Mesqit - Coffin Sounds (DIG002)

@mesqit - Rebirth
Taken from Coffin Sounds EP, out in September 23

"The young Peruvian label Sacrilejio Records emerged from its cocoon at the end of 2020 with the compilation Expiation, exploring concepts of danger and mortal sin through electronic music inspired by deconstructed Latin American rhythms. Having contributed to this compilation, it is the Portuguese artist Mesqit who signs the label’s second release with Coffin Sounds, an EP that makes music out of the funerary inscriptions engraved on Egyptian tombs" (Pan African Music, 2021).

Pan African Music Premiere: Mesqit 'Rebirth'

Out September 23, pre-order it here: https://sacrilejiorecords.bandcamp.com/album/coffin-sounds-ep

@sacrilejiorecords presents its second release in the company of portuguese DJ and producer @mesqit. Ranging between reggaeton, ‘techrreo’ and baile funk , Mesqits 'Coffin Sounds' EP is purely influenced and originated as a materialization from Egyptian coffin texts.

Since the Egyptians believed in the afterlife, they devised these spells in order to get protection from Gods for the deceased from the many dangers of the underworld.

This story initiates with a young man's demise, so each song brings us a chapter that represents every stage of his journey from the mummification process until reaching his rebirth.

“Coffin Sounds EP aims to leave the listener hyped on the dancefloor or retrospective trying to figure out the nuances of the narrative at home", Mesqit says.

The Peruvian Sacrilejio Records, based in Lima, surfaced on the digital worldwide underground scene in late 2020 with the debut v/a compilation called Expiation, a remarkable selection of state-of-the-art club music tracks with Latin influences by artists such as WULFFLUW XCIV, Bungalovv, Wrack, Syntrovert, Shyqa, and many more. Reportedly, the label set out to support club sounds from the Global South decrypting and blending Latinx hauntology and contemporary electronic music deconstruction.

The futuristic framework in which Sacrilejio moves allows them to incorporate variegated, deterritorialized influenced into their research around the interaction between local, traditional rhythmic figures and the worldwide electronic music vanguard. Their second outing on their path is represented by the Coffin Sounds EP, produced by the Portuguese producer and DJ Mesqit, coming with artwork by the stunning Russian musician and visual artist Digitonica and mastering by Alexis Cotrina.

Based in Porto, Mesqit started releasing music back in 2017 with the self-released Concord EP, all the way to his latest Human Feelings release out on February 2021. His focus has always been on the hybridization of different musical traditions, from Jamaican dub to middle eastern strings. On this occasion, the producer set out to showcase genres such as reggaeton, baile funk, and the so-called techrreo style, by means of an investigation into the texts of ancient Egyptian coffin effigies.

Releasing on September 23, the five tracks focus on a young man whose story begins with their premature demise, and then goes through the mummification process, until finally culminating with the rebirth they've been yearning for. From a musical point of view, the outcome is a lively ensemble of rhythms, instruments, and manipulated samples that well translates the tales of a perilous journey into different moods and settings.

Also, to complement the original compositions, two remixes of the closing track Rebirth have been included, one by the UK artist Galtier, and the other by the Tormenta-affiliated hardcore DJ and producer FKOFF1963. Today, we're indeed happy to exclusively premiere the rework by the latter: the Brazilian artist delivers one of the usual club bangers we've become accustomed to thanks to years of over-the-top explorations into hardcore genres, adding the final, energetic touch to a piece of already eventful music. Enjoy!
