Great track! Played on Global Odyssey 2/12/21. Listen Fridays @ KYRS.org

This is an edit I started playing in live sets this year with just an incredible percussive drive. I just outfitted it for the dancefloor ;)

I included this in my Seasides Collection - 28 free-to-download edits and remixes from the past ten years.

Cuando Yo Bailo Tiembla la Tierra Mixtape

Wonderwheel mainstay Chancha Via Circuito (aka Pedro Canale) introduces his fifth full-length with its first single, “El pavo real,” featuring the Meridian Brothers (aka Eblis Álvarez). Cutting his teeth early at Buenos Aires’s legendary ZZK digital cumbia parties, Chancha became known worldwide as the originator of the cumbia-inspired electronic music that takes cues from environmental sounds and South American folkloric traditions. Pedro’s musical progeny include names such as Nicola Cruz, El Búho, Dengue Dengue Dengue, King Coya and more.

“El pavo real” (or “the peacock” in English) is rooted in the now-familiar chug-chug of a dembow beat, made increasingly complex with the addition of further polyrhythmic percussion; the main melodic motif is initially played on a buzzy synth - a sonic prelude to the accompanying strings that join later in the song - adding yet another layer. It’s in this layering that Pedro’s true mastery shines: If one tries to isolate the individual sounds and rhythms, the incredible complexity is apparent, and yet, taken as a whole, everything melts together in a seamless sway of movement and melody. 

Providing vocals is Eblis Álvarez, the academy-trained Colombian singer-songwriter & multi-instrumentalist of the acclaimed Meridian Brothers (really more of a solo project than a band, as the moniker might suggest). Alvarez, recently hailed in a longform article by the New York Times, sings about the titular peacock in lilting Spanish, at times stretching out the vowels in question. It’s the perfect addition to an already great song, and the collaboration of two of Latin America’s foremost innovative artists places “El pavo real” in rarified air.

“El pavo real” is out on Brooklyn’s Wonderwheel Recordings September 30th, 2022, with an album to follow later in the Fall.

MULTI CULTI 038 - NICOLA CRUZ - INVERSIONS

Multi Culti brings the spirit of the mountains into the club with the latest release from Ecuadorian folklorica cryptid Nicola Cruz. Featuring colossal remixes by Bawrut, CAIN, and Matanza.

The EP’s title track is a deeply spiritual chugger that realigns your joints, organs and central nervous system so as to reorient you for the bold reimaginings of the past Cruz triumphs to follow. “Espíritu de Protección” takes on two new earthly forms, one a breaks mix by Cruz himself that can, in good conscience, be described as “banging,” and the other a remix from Madrid-based Italian producer Bawrut that shows why he’s been touted by such eminently droppable names as Jackmaster and Erol Alkan. 

Meanwhile, former pro bagpiper CAIN turns in a remix of “Mantis,” transporting the original from the highlands of Quito to the highlands of Scotland and adding more of whatever fills your brain when oxygen won’t. The probably deliberate mountain connection continues as Chilean birdsong interpreters Mantanza provide a trippy rework of their fellow Andean’s “Tzantza.” 

This particular selection is intended to invoke the experience of encountering a shaman-type loitering outside the club with a grab bag of herbs and ointments to ease the lifelong process of learning to grind up on your highest self, who even now through time and space is sending you the wisdom you need to grab ahold of that bag and never let go.

ANKA FOH - KOUNADY EP
out on JAN 28, 2021

Anka Foh is made up of multi-talented Malian singer/composer/songwriter and producer Dasmy Djo and French electronic music producer/DJ/composer and Curuba label head Ditti. The duo met at a series of culture mashing jam sessions between musicians from all over the world in Paris’ underground bars. The two artists clicked and came together to work on some of Dasmy’s compositions - within a few months they formed Anka Foh.

Shika Shika is excited to share their first EP, Kounady, four tracks of much needed upbeat, joyful, soul music that finds a magical sweet spot between Dasmy’s original compositions, inspired by Mandingue traditional music, and Ditti’s jubilant electronica.

Though the fours compositions are rooted in the West African mandingue tradition, they are taken into a whole new context. Dasmy’s vocals and instrumental lines sit alongside swirling, airy melodies, swaggering beats and Ditti’s trademark bleeps and psychedelic, dreamy synths - the recipe for an explosion of delicious flavours and colours.

This is summed up on opener Bara or the driving electro-blues track Tâtâ, a song about giving thanks to those that helped and supported us in our lives. The EP ends with the fittingly beautiful lullaby Kounady (a mandingue word that roughly translates as luck) about how we have to look after ourselves and avoid negativity.

On this celebration of borderless music, Anka Foh have created an uplifting and refreshing debut. Music that somehow combines the dancefloor, douceur (sweetness) and melancholy but, most of all, a big dose of fun.
