The psychedelic experience is the mere manifestation of the human being’s inner world. Its universality can connect two different people with agnostic point of views in two separate locations. Pablo Jacobo carved into another entrerriano’s musical lineage, Linares Cardozo, to get a full ticket to this experience. From that starting point Pablo Jacobo created “La San Llamarada”: an open space work, wide and vast where dark and eerie figures arise among the Entre Ríos jungle .

Pol Nada decides to distort his own musical path again, this time with a folkloric approximation from a work based in the investigation of a musician born in his home town (La Paz, Entre Ríos).

Chamamé, chamarrita, and throttled chamamé are the main threads on this new Pol Nada’s album, filled with psychedelic and paralisergic elements inmersed in a dark cloud enlightened with a blaze of digital delays and reverbs which expands itself as the silence of a nocturne river, powered by sharp Dub basslines and darkened guitar strings, which shapes the obscure and shiny Folk songs in this album.

La San Llamarada is a double project in two parts. A first one, containing 8 digital and lisergic folklore songs to be released in March 2017 by Fértil Discos (Buenos Aires) and Mamboretá (Formosa); and a second part featuring exquisite electronic reversions curated by Fértil Discos, gathering artists such as El Remolón, Barda, San Ignacio, among others.

Canto a La Paz + Dandara and Jin Yerei Remixes is an advance of this two releases.

Pol Nada - Canto A La Paz (Jin Yerei Remix)

Today marks the dawn of a new era in the politics world and 2016 saw monumental shifts in how the world is shaping up for the future. Inspired by a atmosphere of desperation, frustration and a lack of hope we went to music to seek solace, inspiration and a reminder of the incredible things humans are able to do if they are open minded, work together, cross borders and get creative.

Mare Insularum translates as Sea of Dreams and also the name of one of the moon's many seas. In line with our collective, Shika Shika's, vision, the album not only showcases music that blurs borders and genres, seeking inspiration from past and present, but also music that offers hope, escape, inspiration...

Despite these shifts and the apparent slide into a dangerous new world, at Shika Shika we also believe 2017 is going to be a year of resistance and of hope in every corner of the globe. We believe in the power of music and we believe in the power of collaboration. 

We want to say thanks to all the artists for contributing new tracks, edits and pieces directly written for this compilation.

This week I released Chinampa, my second EP inspired by my time spent in Mexico - this time a journey through the urban sprawl of Mexico City.

While we were finishing the EP the French producer Yeahman offered to do a remix and came up with the super refreshing remix of "Salto de Agua" - sprinkled with guitar licks, percussion and organic sounds.

You can download the whole EP including this remix via @wonderwheel-recordings on Bandcamp here:

Ali Ibrahim "Ali Farka" Touré (31 October 1939 – 6 March 2006)was a Malian singer and multi-instrumentalist, and one of the African continent's most internationally renowned musicians. His music is widely regarded as representing a point of intersection of traditional Malian music and its North American cousin, the blues. The belief that the latter is historically derived from the former is reflected in Martin Scorsese's often quoted characterization of Touré's tradition as constituting "the DNA of the blues".

Yemanjo gives this classic Malian blues a combined hip-hop/slow house groove sure to fill dance floors from Toronto to Tombouctou...

A new premiere part of a super VA by our friends Cosmovision Records. This little gem concocted by the wicked DJ Raff! 

Some Information about the track: 

"There was a big tree in front of my house when I was a child. You could see everyday Tiuques on the top, I always waited for them to fly above my house making their noises and thinking about them as big eagles or falcons. It was mid-eighties and it was easy to see them in Santiago. They were my favourite city animals." Dj Raff

"Ramas" (branches in Spanish) is El Búho’s third album of original material and stands for a celebration of the art of collaboration. Featuring 19 collaborations with artists from 12 countries, the album was born organically out of collaborations, mutual appreciation or a desire to experiment and try something new. 

Some of the tracks were started in person, such as "Sky City", born out of a spaghetti-western jam in Thornato’s Queens studio or "Gaviota" inspired by the the seagulls of Brighton following a shared show with Rumbo Tumba in the city. Meanwhile others such as "Elefta" with Hungarian producer Stas or "Kuuma" a track made with Finnish multi-instrumentalist QOSQI were created over long-distance with the producers never actually meeting face to face. The album also contains tracks from long-term friends and collaborators like Chancha Via Circuito, Barda and Wonderwheel head-honcho Nickodemus. 

Musically the album references the blend of Latin American traditional music with original electronic music on tracks such as "Resiliencia" with legendary Chilean producer DJ Raff, an homage to the recent protest movement in Chile, or "Absolut," a track sculpted from an unfinished melodic idea by Argentine electro-folk trio Tremor. Meanwhile songs like "Nevar" and "Kif Kif Kuf Kuf" with Didacte and Kraut, both part of the Shika Shika collective, take El Búho’s sound in a new direction, embracing a more melodic or impactful and rhythmic electronica. 

At its heart of "Ramas" was Perkins’ desire to challenge himself creatively, forcing him to see his own ideas and production style from a different angle or see ideas started in one direction come back completely transformed by the collaborator. The result is at once surprising and diverse but El Búho’s signature sound and aesthetic is the thread that runs through all of the tracks, the trunk to each branch. 

Carrying on the spirit of collaboration, El Búho made an open call for collaborations with dancers & choreographers in his community. Overwhelmed by the response, the album is accompanied by 18 original choreographies by dancers and dance groups from 12 different countries, from Mexico to Taiwan, South Africa or the Galapagos Islands. Each chose the track that most inspired them and shot a video of their dance in a unique and beautiful natural location, in doing so creating yet more ramas or branches for the project.
