Fact Mix 903: Grand River (Apr '23)

and the novelty goes on: mule musiq welcomes another fresh producer to its vast catalogue of music from all around.
 
this time andro gogibedashvili aka saphileaum. he is coming from tbilisi, georgia and already released an impressive body of work, considering he just publishes music since 2016.
 
countless eps and albums, digital, on tape, documenting his feverish creative urge on labels like not not fun records, good morning tapes, diffuse reality, or vodkast. they cover a comprehensive stylistic range from ambient and downtempo to tribal, house, and techno nuances.
 
a deeper shade of soul, precisely fashioned, growing from different playgrounds of inspiration. he was born into a musical family.
 
as a kid he studied georgian folk. in his school rock band, he sang, and the guitar was his love. then electronic music called the tune, and techno hit his heart.
 
in the midst of it all the 26-year-old never lost contact with his spiritual home. “i find deep inspiration in georgian myths and legends, occultism and esoteric teachings, lost civilizations, earth, unity, truth, information, and the secrets of the universe. these things, to name a few, inspire me daily and help me create the music I make.” saphileaum reveals.
 
“exploring together”, his debut album for mule, navigates all these elements through a merry-go-round of gentle driven rhythm zones. fourth-world spheres, balearic tropes, field recording zones, tropical downbeat, tribal percussions, trancing sounds, balafon hums, mallet airs, hooky house – it’s all there, circling the eavesdropper into a dreamland of melodic undercurrents.
“my loops come from tribal and cosmic inspirations. tribal, as below, and cosmic as above. the combination of these two, is very interesting to me”, he clarifies, while joking “but, to put it super simply, loops are super handy for djing”.
 
which brings us to the final promotion of “exploring together” - it’s playability. its vast. multifunctional. spiritual. made for gatherings, were all dance time away. lost in music actions, only touched by the hand of rhythm and sound. his ten tracks are created for such flashes, wide spreading a musical narration of illuminating durability. “cosmic, relaxing, fun, tribal, and mystic.”, as saphileaum declares.

Moritz von Oswald and Mark Ernestus, better known as Basic Channel are the center of this episode. Expect to learn about and listen to their many projects and how dub techno came to be. It is a pick by Pascal trying to infiltrate a genre that is clearly Linda's (bb:fm) hometurf.   
----
Mapping is a show about discovering the musical world centered around a track Linda (@bb_fm) or Pascal (paschko) pick for each episode. Together they dive into the samples, the labels, artists and collaborators.
Depending on the chosen song, the show can either be a detailed exploration of its immediate surroundings, or it serves as a starting point for a journey, navigating from one node to the next, delving deep into connected artists and genres. Either way, a mapping of the title track is given.

This music is the result of a friendship established in Mexico between Marius Houschyar, Fabio Levi, Mazatl Alvarez and Mich Rubio who came together in the gardens of Central Mexico for spiritual and sonic exploration. All songs were recorded outside at the ranch of Mazatls father in Michoacán and the magical garden of the wise Abuelos in Mexico State between cactus plants and gigantic trees. The music contains mostly indigenous instruments such as flutes and ceremonial percussion instruments, as well as classical guitar, electric bass, a persian Santoor and one small keyboard. The song texts are improvised prayers in English, Spanish and Nahuatl. Every recording session started with a guided meditation and ultimately turned into a spiritual journey. A psychedelic trip telling of holy lands, the great spirits that inhabit it and a newborn, yet ancient brotherhood.

Written, performed and produced by 
* José Juan Valdez Alvarez

'Para Vivir' is written by Yaotonal Saucedo
