Shika Shika presents our new Botanas by MAUGLI, an artist we have had on our radars and playlists for a while due to his really unique production style and sound. Somewhere between hip-hop, very skilled cut and paste sampling and crisp production. With this Botanas he doesn't disappoint with two absolutely delicious cuts of his signature style.

In MAUGLI's own words:

Trouble Feat. Flolento
'First track 'Trouble' is a collaboration with Eigenklang member Flolento on the clarinet and was originally inspired by the notorious 'Six Boys in Trouble. In the early 1950s a group of kids from housing projects jammed on homemade percussion and sang along with it. With a ton of soul and the first signs of something resembling rap flows (in the 50s!!!) the recordings spark pure joy to me. At some point the sample flew out and ended up on another song and then I asked Flolento and his clarinet to jump in to contrast the pouring wet guitarlicks - chop choppidy, chop and the jam was ready to be served.

Kiliman
Kiliman was inspired by a PVC tube jam and sung poetry from Harak and various Brao groups of Southern Laos. What struck me first was the laid back vibe that came across the recordings. A perfect base to garn with raw drums and pure sine waves for some serious sweaty, booty shaking. There are super secret undercover hints to the original samples sprinkled in there as well to other quotes in this collaged piece of music.

MAUGLI - Trouble Ft. Flolento

The only surviving song from my stolen album 2018,
when we got robbed in Valpo.
Its a pretty rough mix but I decided to share it with you for free.

And Her Song (2018)

With this new Botanas, Jiony begins a new stage of his musical career, presenting the alias Brandom Salazar to give life to ideas that travel through the terrain of the Latin sound, but with a unique touch that does not fit conventional labels. In the words of the artist himself: “With these two tracks I want to inaugurate a new cool alias for those ideas that go more towards the side of the Latin sound”.
The EP begins with “Piñata vacía”, a track that moves away from traditional structures and defies rhythmic categorization. It's a modern ballad of sorts, interweaving instruments that evoke Latin rhythms, but with a fusion so free that it's hard to pigeonhole it into a single style. The ambiguity of its rhythm reflects the experimentation and authenticity of Jiony, who has fun playing with the sonic possibilities without worrying about meeting the expectations of the genre.
The second track, “De la que no pica”, has a more defined form and flows along the paths of cumbia, although with a bass that takes some liberties, leading us at times to a flavor closer to salsa. “It's the kind that doesn't sting,” says Jiony, referring to that softer, more accessible salsa, but equally loaded with flavor and energy.

With this Botanas, Jiony invites us to enjoy his most authentic and experimental side, to dance without prejudice and to let ourselves be carried away by the Latin sounds that inspire him, but with a fresh vision that goes beyond the expected. Brandom Salazar has arrived to represent the unexpected, the cool and the irreverent.

Martha van Staaten debuts with her first production. An edit of the Lijadu Sister’s original ‘Osupa I’. Skillfully chopped and baked together. Floating guitar hooks, a laid back bass-line and finely-spun rhythms are the ingredients in that ode to the moon. As the wolf howls: ‘a-ooooooooo’.

Ready for a dreamy journey into the UCR sound? If so, here comes a special occasion to let your mind fly on the vibes of our ‘Sonorities’. Our latest compilation features some of our old and new friends which joined the mission to trespass geographical and cultural borders, and to create a multifaceted community united in the common love for music. Our ‘Sonorities’ travel slow, but they travel far. Organic and joyful sounds reminding of Latin America and of their native people are flanked on the one side by instruments and motives coming from the East, on the other side there are urban trippy rhythms. Ecstatic dancing beats travel alongside ethereal and mesmerizing melodies. Such diversity is not only meant to present the variety of sounds which these great artists can exhibit, but also to represent the diversities among human beings which are here united in one heterogeneous and harmonious complex, as it’s the world we envision - a whole symbiotical organism...

Soček - Not Good Not Bad Not Ugly

How nice it is to wake up, 
beautiful confusion, all just illusion, 
observe within the drama, carnival samsara. 
Homeward bound, the fringes spiral and entwine, 
with each exhale, they unravel and unwind, 
glistening ripples, trickle and fall, 
return to the silent stream, 
Life is beautiful after all...
