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.

Sea Gypsee

Passionate dancer, DJ, space holder, and founder of the vibrant Ecstatic Dance Cardiff in Wales, Sea Gypsee weaves global soundscapes that invite us to drop into presence, power, softness, and sensual aliveness.

Born and raised in France, with a mindset that has always dreamt of answers beyond what she sees, and a background in art-therapy and clowning, she approaches dance as a space to meet ourselves and each other as art in motion, no matter what that looks like!

Since 2021, she shares her passion in the conscious dance scene, notably in Paris, London, Cardiff, Lisbon, Edinburgh, and Bristol, creating waves of heart connection, joy, and dancefloor magic where she goes.

Expect rejuvenating, deliciously dark and light blends of tribal bass, downtempo, afro house, ethnic beats, folktronika, deep house, psytrance… and unexpected drops of mystery 🌀
