This project unites artists from two labels, Chinese based bié Records and Latin America based Shika Shika, separated by very contrasting cultures and thousands of kilometers but united by shared values and a shared musical vision.

Driven by values of creativity, borderless music and fairness for artists, both labels showcase artists that unite electronica with ambient and folk music, purposefully existing outside of the globalized, copy-paste of the mainstream music industry.

A mix of intrigue and mutual respect led to the birth of this compilation, with the two labels teaming up to match together a group of their artists to remix each other. The result is a widely imaginative, fresh and diverse selection of tracks featuring some of the prominent producers such as DaYe, Lim Giong; Hualun, Sun Dawei and Rainsoft from bié records and DJ Raff, Terror:Cactus, Numa Gama, Barrio Lindo and El Búho from Shika Shika.

Dat Garcia presents Maleducada  

A voice emerges, materializing, curing. Analog feelings, ancestral glitch. 

Along the sun’s cosmic belt, the renewal of Argentine folktronics takes another twist: the movement - regional, continental and global - has emerged with a strong female presence in the Buenos Aires scene. Enter Dat García, one of the freshest and most captivating female artists out there right now. ZZK Records welcomes her to the family and invites you to listen to her 1st album, Maleducada (Un or poorly educated). 

Maleducada is Dat’s way of expressing and exorcizing through song the bad emotional upbringing common among so many young people of her generation, the children of adults censored during the tough times of 1980s Argentina, when the military dictatorship silenced, oppressed and even murdered many of those dedicated to artistic or political expression. While women were brought up to be respectable housewives and good mothers, the youth of an empowered generation was born alongside democracy and today they walk the streets of Buenos Aires. 

Dat is one of the spokeswomen and storytellers of the new women’s movement that questions traditional values and emphasizes body consciousness to construct a new more equal society. 

“We weren’t taught to be free to feel, nor were we taught to eat well or look after our bodies. Researching this made me realize that we are emotional machines, and that can translate into health or disease,” says Dat, who during the production of the album went through a healing process to recover from a rare form of cancer, which motivated her investigation into the power of the emotional over the physiological and expression as healing therapy. That’s where Maleducada came from. 

Dat García grew up in Monte Grande, on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, and from a young age she was involved in Argentine folklore music. In 2013, she immersed herself in digital music, opening up a world of tools for expressing her inner sounds, with the help of Pedro Canale aka Chancha Via Circuito. There, Dat started to flirt with the idea that styles ranging from chacarera to trip hop, sounds of synths, charango and flutes, could all be mixed together. Her powerful music is composed with lyrics that invite the listener into her world and a groove in which the timeless Latino folklore gene persists. 

This is a golden age. While in 2006, Zizek was first a club night and then a sensation, ten years on ZZK is a combination of a school, a platform, a record label, and an audiovisual production company, bringing together voices and sounds for the digital generation. Dat dialogues with the panorama of new (and old) women’s voices in the region like Mariana Baraj, Sofía Viola, La Yegros, and also Juana Molina and Li Saumet. And at the same time, her work crosses over with the whole scene of this golden age, where producers are free to make the music they want, inspired by past traditions but always looking towards the future. 

Dat forms part of this new generation of musicians who explore their roots, manifesting in new ideas, with new technologies. Dat has a timeless vision of what folklore is, one that speaks of a being and a feeling. “You don’t need to make music in an adobe hut in the middle of the Pampas to feel that it’s folklore. There’s a ton of stuff we do with a weight of tradition behind it that we don’t see. And a lot of it comes from everyday life, from emotion, from the feeling of the people.” 

If up until now the digital folklore scene was almost exclusively a men’s club, Dat Garcia comes in to flip the switch and change the paradigm and make sure women’s voices are heard, telling powerful, profound stories that welcome us to her world of folkfuturist sounds and aesthetics.

Dat Garcia - Nunca Olvidarme Mi Acento

Un track inspirado en los sonidos de las ballenas junto con un poema de Alberto Muñoz titulado el canto de las ballenas.

Todo esto fue un experimento donde se bajo en una capsula al fondo del mar para cantarle a las Ballenas

Diguital Trip - Frecuencias De Ballenas

'Campo Triste' está inspirado en el famoso tema ecuatoriano "La Bocina', en este caso (sample) interpretado por Soledad Morales, cantante invidente quien radicó en Sigsig, pequeño pueblo de la provincia del Azuay. No fue sorpresa encontrar que el productor ecuatoriano Pancho Piedra, habitante de Cuenca, Ecuador, se encontrara trabajando en una re interpretación de este tema. Tiene sentido, toda una generación dedicada a la radio, transmitiendo joyas resguardadas en las bóvedas de 'Radio Tomebamba'. 

Así continua la familia Piedra, en poder de antiguos discos que cuentan la historia de un Ecuador nostálgico, liderado en aquellas épocas por el timón y los arreglos de don Polibio Mayorga. Este es un homenaje contemporáneo sin duda, con el fin de rescatar ese anhelo sonoro de aquellos tiempos. 

// ENGLISH 
We are honoured to present a very special and very beautiful Botanas from the hand of Ecuadorian producers Nicola Cruz and Pancho Piedra. 

Campo Triste' is inspired by the famous Ecuadorian song "La Bocina", in this case with a sample from a version sung by Soledad Morales, a blind singer from Sigsig, a small town in the province of Azuay. It wasn't a surprise for Nicola to discover that Pancho Piedra, a fellow Ecuadorian producer living in Cuenca, was working on a reinterpretation of the song. Everything made sense - Piedra belonging to a generation that is dedicated to treasuring and transmitting musical gems from the vaults of the city's "Radio Tomebamba". 

In this way the story of the Piedra family continues, holding in their hands these old records that tell, with nostalgia, the history of Ecuador, led at the time by don Polibio Mayorga’s arrangements. 

While this is undoubtedly a modern tribute, it also captures and revives this nostalgic piece of musical longing from another time. 

This Botanas also features three precious remixes from fellow Ecuadorian Quixosis, Mexico's Jiony and Chile's Rodrigo Gallardo.

Serpiente Nocturna

Biomigrant is the musical project of producer and multi-instrumentalist Michael Alfred Wagner. In 2014, as part of a journey of musical exploration, he crossed Central America en bicycle, arriving to Colombia where he currently lives. As part of the Llorona Records tribute to the gaita flute master Manuel Antonio “Toño” García, Biomigrant put together a compilation of remixes of a piece made with the field recordings of Toño singing. El Buho, Quixosis, Lascivio Bohemia, Joaquín Cornejo, RLHBSLCN, Marcelo Bergés and Steffen Ki present beautiful and different takes of “La Muerte” giving us a broad picture of latin american electronic and world downtempo landscape.

I arrived to the house of the maestro Toño García in San Jacinto in May of 2014. I had just arrived to Colombia, finishing a bicycle journey that began in Guatemala. In Panama a traveling couple told me of Mr. García, and in Bogotá a friend put me in touch so I could visit him. I made it to San Jacinto, an iconic village of the Colombian Caribbean, and I spent various nights camping along the edge of the lake, in the mornings taking classes with Toño. I received my first Gaitas from him, while he showed me songs and told mi stories of his wanderings, struggles, successes, and loves.

Manuel Antonio ‘Toño’ García joined the Gaiteros de San Jacinto after the death of Mañe Mendoza, returning to a legacy that he had left behind for years to dedicate himself to agricultural work. Winner of a Latin Grammy for the album ‘Un Fuego de Sangre Pura’, along with a generation of the group that included his student Fredys Arrieta, el maestro sill lives in his house in San Jacinto where to this day he receives visits from a endless stream of students and lovers of Gaita music, sharing with them his music and wisdom.

There here taught me the song ‘Conmigo Nadie Se Meta’, written by Nando Coba. ‘La Muerte’ is a re-interpretation of that melody, with the voice of Toño and the gaita of Fredys. It was originally published en 2016 as part of ‘Aldea Mundial’, an audiovisual project (album and documentary) released with the chilean label Regional.

I am very grateful for the 7 tremendous artists and friends from Latin America and Europe for their remixes which offer a tribute to a great musician, person, and teacher. We are part of an emerging scene that looks to create a meeting grounds between electronica and traditional folk music, and the least we can do is try to give something back to those who have maintained the essence of rural musics.

All funds generated by this work will be given to Toño Garcia (who recently celebrated his 90th birthday) and his family as assistance that we hope will help to care for his health and upkeep in San Jacinto. Thank you to all who have contributed to this project and especially to Thomas Bosq for setting it all in motion. Michael - Biomigrant

Biomigrant - La Muerte (Quixosis Remix)

For our 3rd release, we present a single EP produced by Jiony, with soothing vocals from Ana Karen, coming from the heart of the contemporary downtempo scene in Mexico.

Co-founder of Mexico City based electronic music label VAA, Jiony marinates his own live looping and improvisation on his best friends - keyboards, with a therapeutical voice, Ana Karen. After their collaboration on VAA back in 2016, the duo shows how perfectly Ana’s voice and Jiony’s slow synth game blends.

First remix comes from Pigmalião, touching back to his Brazilian roots with the percussions after launching his new label I Lost My Poncho, closing the curtain with his dreamy synths. Quixosis finds Pigmaliao’s lost poncho and creates a hypnotic texture with twisting the vocals and Jungel brings us back again to the sea side with his guitar.
