As we all perceive music in our very own and individual way, we connect sounds and melodies with moods, feelings and memories. „Perpetual Tales“ narrates those infinite possibilities of stories being told by music. The chapters of this EP are written and interpreted by Theo Gramal as an invitation to dream with them, feel them, dance to them. May they be shaped by playing around with instruments or be inspirations from travels or collaborations - each pattern, baseline or melody has been a little adventure and eventually will be a new one for you, your ears and your soul.

Theo Gramal Feat. Timbaba - Marabou Blues

While on the endless search for interesting things to sample I came across this great little tune, rearranged it a bit,  and added lots of fun stuff. 
And because I recently got my thousandth follower (and because it's Friday) I want to celebrate a little and give it to you lot! 
Thanks for the love and support!

La Loba

Alma Linda & El Mago - La Loba

Devenir Maleza was one of those projects that just arrived in our overflowing inboxes one day out of the blue. We opened the link and discovered four finely crafted, beautifully produced and captivating tracks of transformative, percussive music. 

It rare to find music that marries so well recorded percussion, live instrumentation and vocals with deep electronic productions without one dominating on the other. With Devenir Maleza Prisma and Martin Broder, a duo based between Berlin and Buenos Aires, managed to find that sweet spot that we love so much here at Shika Shika: deep, electronic but natural, acoustic and introspective. Or as the duo describes it: “a crackling, soothing, hypnotic lullaby.” 

Devenir Maleza’s was inspired by the concept of “becoming” and of transformation in many aspects. Through their long-distance collaboration the duo’s starting point was to imagine music becoming la maleza or “the undergrowth”, as if it the synths, vocals and instruments were sinking into the humid earth or drawn from the whistling wind or emerging from a rustling forest. 

The duo is joined on the EP by the talented singer and pianist Maria Barone as well as techno-producer / percussionist Merlin Genschel.

A new Earthly Measures adventure begins...We introduce to you Earthly Tapes 01. This first compilation features artists that have been alongside us on our journey so far, as well as new members welcomed in to the Earthly Measures family. Inspired by sounds from all corners of the globe, artists from Ecuador, Brazil, Argentina, Australia and the UK invite you to experience their homelands through their individual musical styles, keeping to the diverse sounds that Earthly Measures has come to be known for!

Ecuadorian born Joaquin Cornejo’s KOMOREBI serves as an excellent introduction to the label, with emotive sounds and soulful lyrics creating a beautifully peaceful track. This is a song built around almost forgotten vocal recordings of the amazing English singer Wabi Sabi and resampled old magnetic tape recordings that make up the rich textural background.

This track came alive through a moment of exploring west-african desert blues guitar combined with producing an abstract, pulsing world beat while pondering life in the garden of my home in Berlin. Months later, while traveling through the sacred valley of Peru on a journey with cactus medicine, my brother Dawid passed me samples of a recording of the Mwami tribe (meaning King Shepherd) and royal drums from Rwanda whose cultural music and identity has disappeared since the republic was formed in 1961. These samples I have mixed with my production and guitar playing to give it an otherworldly feel. I believe in the idea of carrying cultural heritage through the medium of sound and production thus giving new life to ancient tradition and merging the old with a new artistic vision.
