Lua Preta (@luapreta) is an Angolan/Polish duo that has taken the global bass scene by storm in the past few years. Since the end of 2017 they managed to put out a series of successful releases, play a great deal of well-received shows at festivals and clubs all over Europe (plus two gigs in New York), shoot a bunch of music videos (one of them being filmed in Lisbon) and catch attention of @brankoofficial himself who remixed their song for his renowned 'Enchufada Na Zona' compilation. In 2020 they went on to prepare a debut album called 'Diaspora' - a seven tracks collection showcasing their characteristic catchy Afro sound which included 'Baile Lotus' (played by Diplo in his BBC Radio 1 show), 'Vim Para Vencer' (collaboration with South African rapper Robin Thirdfloor) and 'Drena' (featured in an official Spotify playlist by Adidas).

Now five of the songs from the last year's release come back with new versions prepared by producers from five different countries. United States' @tonyquattro highlights Ms. Gia's vocals from 'Drena' and freshens up the beat by adding guitar riffs and swirling flutes. @djraff, one of the most important electronic music artists from Chile, skilfully slows down 'Baile Lotus' and in an unexpected turn of events pairs it with cumbia turning the track into a Latin-flavoured beauty. Further into the release, Africa's star producer @gafacci adds his signature style to the instrumental side of 'Ao Som Dos Homens' - but don't worry: Ghanaian's famous 'shut your mouth I beg eh' vocal hook is very much there.

'Diaspora Remixes' finishes off with two remixes by European artists. Firstly, original vocals take the centre stage again in the club-ready rework of 'Sente Batida' by respected Italian producer @lamentomusic. Last but not least, French drum master @ruffkaval provides a perfect closing track with his wonderfully crafted version of 'RTE' which has been enriched by additional thumping patterns and... birdsongs.

Lua Preta - Baile Lotus (DJ Raff Remix)

'Simplemental' is a brand new single by Pancho Piedra (@panchopiedra), one of the key figures and most experienced players on the Ecuadorian electronic music scene with years of DJing (incl. performing at Ecuador's first Boiler Room event), producing music (2018's collaborative track with Nicola Cruz among other things) and working as a promoter (founding the Tripy Tripy Fest which has been bringing international acts to Ecuador for the past 15+ years) to his name.

Fresh off the release of his song in one of the Multi Culti's compilations at the end of 2021, this time Pancho comes up with 'Simplemental' - a somewhat twisted and industrial take on reggaeton that is then reinterpreted by two of his compatriots which makes the whole thing a purely Ecuadorian affair (hence the references to Ecuadorian flag in the artwork). The remixes couldn't have been more different though. While Quixosis' (@quixosis) rework brings a dreamy dancehall vibe, Mala Fama's (@malafamaec) long intro bursts out with a thumping bass that is later accompanied by cumbia elements.

While some might consider DES a newer artist, he has been on the scene as early as 2012 with his massive single on Moveltraxx, Jumpin Duck. With remixes from Lazy Ants, DJ Earl, Javier Estrada, Vatican Swag and Oui’wack (now Wiwek), Jumpin Duck was a heavy-hitter.   With his last release in 2014 on the Tunacat Label REBIRTH, DES now returns with Milan / Florence, a heavy Afro-bass EP on VOODOO REBEL inspired by a trip from his hometown Milan to VR’s headquarter Florence, with three original tracks and three remixes.   
The EP moves between DES’s banging electro house sound and VR’s more tropical, experimental sound, with remixes from global bass heavy-hitter’s Motin, the Italian Balera Favela ambassador prp, Tunacat’s Boogaloo & Bizt. The title track creates the right tension with a tribal African chant that transforms into a subdriven, powerful cumbia/breakbeat track. Ramen & Churches stands out as the most wild track on the EP, with a high-pitched synth and batucadas on a loopy chant. Florence / Milan is a slow moombahton track, where the Brazilian berimbau meets a digiridoo for a mystical, middle-Eastern feel. 
On the remix side, Motin gives us a superb remix of Florence / Milan, creating a minimal moombahton track. Prp’s remix of Ramen & Churches drives the dance floor into a middle-Eastern journey, with six vibe-heavy minutes of intense teleportation. Last but not least, Boogaloo & Bizt turn the original into a groovy house tune, driven by a hypnotic synth and an irresistible drum pattern.

En este lanzamiento, Señor Chancho persigue unificar la Cumbia y el Dub, dos estilos con origen negro en América. Ambos ritmos de las calles y los espacios públicos, ambos ritmos cadenciosos e hipnóticos a su manera. 

Varios lugares del mundo se conectan en el caribe, con Manu Digital de Francia, Uaná System desde Brasil, Sonora Digital de Ecuador, Punto Rojo desde Argentina y Tribilin Sound de Perú. 

Este es un manifiesto desde lo más profundo del gusto del artista, dos de sus estilos favoritos en comunión y sincronía.

[BIO0018] _ "Simbiose (VA)" by Mandruvá 

Vivemos e dependemos uns dos outros para, em conjunto, nos construir e construir ao nosso redor. Assim é em toda a natureza e sua amplitude. Somos cercados dessas relações de interdependência, muitas nem conhecemos, são chamadas Simbiose.
Em conceito biológico, Simbiose retrata relações de dependência para sobrevivência entre duas espécies diferentes, sendo então uma associação permanente.
Refletindo para nós, seres humanos, podemos então pensar na importância da preservação de todo e qualquer ambiente, no qual contém milhões dessas relações que são destruídas e mortas todos os dias. E isso nos afeta diretamente.
Celebremos a vida!

No dia 16 de novembro é comemorado o aniversário de Murillo Faleiros (@mandruvamusic).
Início/fim de um ciclo, mais uma volta ao redor do sol, celebração de vitórias, derrotas, aprendizados, conhecimentos e vivências. Em especial no ano conturbado de 2020, surge a ideia de dar início a um novo projeto: uma compilação entre amigos(as) artistas. E nessa primeira edição, será em comemoração a esse dia especial.

O artista visual Gabriel Engster, que assina a nova série de capas pelo projeto @ a.la.gabs.art, partiu de referências imagéticas de cactos e partes do corpo como inspiração para os desenhos, para então abstraí-los em múltiplas composições experimentais de arte gráfica correlacionadas às sonoridades de cada lançamento.

[BIO0018] _ "Simbiose (VA)" by Mandruvá 
We live and depend on each other to build us and build around us together. So it is in all of nature and its breadth. We are surrounded by these interdependent relationships, many of which we don't even know, are called Symbiosis.
In a biological concept, “Symbiosis” portrays dependency relations for survival between two different species, being then a permanent association.
Reflecting for us, human beings, we can then think about the importance of preserving each and every environment, in which it contains millions of these relationships that are destroyed and killed every day. And it affects us directly.
Let's celebrate life!

On November 16th, Murillo Faleiros' birthday (@mandruvamusic) is celebrated.
Start / end of a cycle, one more lap around the sun, celebration of victories, defeats, learnings, knowledge and experiences. Especially in the troubled year of 2020, the idea arises to start a new project: a compilation among artist friends. And in this first edition, it will be in celebration of that special day.

Visual artist Gabriel Engster with his project @ a.la.gabs.art that signs the new series of covers of Bioma, started from imagery references of cacti and body parts as inspiration for the drawings, and then abstract them in multiple experimental compositions of graphic art correlated to the sounds of each release.
