Heidi Lewandowski, aka Kaleema, is a woman of the world, born and raised in Argentina to a family with diverse European ancestry, educated in New York, a resident of Bogota for a few years before finally moving back to Buenos Aires. Her musical journey is no less nomadic, with a background in Violin, to exploring Hip-Hop, Jazz & R&B whilst studying electronic music production at SAE, New York, to working with German producer and Kompakt label stalwart Gregor Schwellenbach in 2014, and now, studying Piano and composition whilst working on her debut LP as Kaleema. It’s a resume that speaks to the eclectic nature of her work and the intense passion Heidi has for music and culture.

One of our favourite DJ/producers, and great friend of Métron, El Búho, tipped me off about the work Kaleema was doing and upon hearing the lead track from her new LP I was keen to work with her. It’s therefore a real pleasure to present the 22nd Métron Musik Mixtape, a powerful 50 minute journey showcasing Kaleema’s incredible sonic palette including three exclusive tracks including a typically wonderful remix from the aforementioned El Búho, as well as a beautiful collaboration with one of my favourite vocalists, Lido Pimienta, to close out the mixtape. It’s a clear demonstration of Heidi’s musical talents that she has managed to knit together an eclectic set which retains an underlying aesthetic focus throughout. It’s a rich and fascinating listen.

Kaleema is a producer with an incredibly bright future ahead of her and well worth keeping your eyes peeled and ears open for her debut LP dropping later this year. In the mean time you can follow her work on her Soundcloud and find out if she is playing near you on her Facebook page.

Métron Mixtape - 022 - Kaleema

Continuing the trend of deep down tempo, P.r.A.A.H brings us a mix of aqueous sounds full of streams and rivers that advance towards the sea, intermingling with the flavor of our South America. Slow but flavorful, this producer´s podcast uses the base of the cumbia and the power of various percussion and melodies. 

A selection of delicious themes which include voices such as of Petrona Martinez, submerging itself in the journey that is connected with the roots of our sound.  P.r.A.A.H traps the force the beats in order to photosynthesize and give life to a podcast full of forest and jungle. It´s an offering smooth and danceable.

Siguiendo la consistencia del down tempo profundo, Praah nos trae una mezcla de sonidos acuosa, llena de vertientes y rios que avanzan hacia el mar entremezclandose con el sabor de nuestra America Latina. Lento pero sabroso, el mixtape de este productor toma la base de la cumbia y la potencia con diferentes percuciones y melodias. 

Una seleccion de temas deliciosa, que incluye voces como la de Petrona Martinez, sumergiendote en un viaje conectado con la raiz de nuestro sonido. Es asi como Praah atrapa la fuerza de los beats para hacer fotosintesis y dar vida a un mixtape lleno de bosque, de selva, una propuesta suave y bailable.

Mar y cerros, vol. 1
31/01/2018

En el suroeste de los Andes existen tierras muy particulares, donde la extensa cordillera dominada por el Condor tiene a su hermana, la de la Costa, acariciando suavemente, y a veces no tanto, al Océano Pacífico. Dónde los volcanes han sido los arquitectos del paisaje y los glaciares y ríos pulen los detalles, dónde las vertientes alimentan la frágil vida que la habita y los árboles son los más grandes guerreros que se han conocido.
Sonidos del suroeste de los Andes.

The Brazilian Lisbon-based multifaceted artist Cigarra (Ágatha Barbosa) has been clearly showing versatility as a producer. Despite her immersive research of sample appropriation - plunderphonics and copyleft - unveiling a popular, peripheral, contemporary, global blend production; Cigarra's last EP titled "Ato" (released on the beloved Tropical Twista Records, 2018) stepped away a little from the dancefloor and pushed her creative process to the forefront of an intersection between music, theater, protest, performance, communication and emotion.

Evolving skills over experiences and performing with other narrative languages, the three tracks on "Ato" showcase collaborative productions from distinct artistic niches and differ from those found in her first "Limbica" EP; showing a more refined, accurate Cigarra's side; including being able to recreate politely from samples, lines, field recordings, noises, voices that were turned into bases and bass lines. Being the track with the most feedback from the EP, "Tu No Me Vas" reflects the message that Cigarra carries with herself today and also part of the soundtrack for Cia. Nosotras's “Prantos Invisíveis” acting, a strong and urgent track of women marching on, cracking up everything wherever they go.The phrase that kicks off the production was taken from a song by Franco-Chilean singer Ana Tijoux, in this context, the graft is fervently sung by the actresses in the respective play, having its first version recreated and adapted in order to get an oriented-dancefloor setting, reverberating a poetic portrait of the immigration of Latin American women to Sao Paulo. Somehow, it reflected an ability to connect with the listener without following usual cues in music.

Vocal textures, various moods, and crafty rhythms. These sentences outline what this EP brings to the table. With contrasting and complementary lines to some extent, the choice of artists to create remixes came organically, uniting expressions and interpretations; weaving through floating ambiance, pop-infused pastures, funk 150bpm and vocals featuring throughout. Maracuyá brought in an ethereal interpretation, relinquishing the original samples of voices, and adding strengthness coming from other female singing voices by Guápil, original Costa Rican music project. The Japanese experimental-wizard Ground features a delicate version with more organic midtempo creative references. R Vincenzo with his peculiar performing style and techniques related with 'baile funk' universe (Brazilian popular electronic scene), uses the machines for repetition, vocal percussion and hypnotic collages. Finishing up the package, the Brazilian duo Venga Venga goes from the eccentricity of remote cultures to the most metropolitan subversion, genuinely reinterpreting it.

Well beyond her assured rhythmic touch that underpins previous works, Cigarra stays intuitive. With a passion for celebrating global female sounds, she manages the label Hystereofônica, constantly featuring cutting edge artists in an intense attempt to provide "visibility to half of the planet that lives in the shadow of the history", because no matter what kinda music you were into, there are women making it with just as much class, skill and passion as men do. Then, fleeing from the strictly musical plan and running away from conventions, which is taken from the experimental freedom in her work, she kept the alternative world close to her craft.

Cigarra — Tu No Me Vas (Maracuyá feat. Guápil Remix)

While we sleep, deep relaxation and more troubled phases alternate. During REM sleep (in french, "sommeil paradoxal"), body's temperature increases. The heart beats faster. Without the lid to even move, the eyes rapidly shift in their orbits, demonstrating an intense brain activity.

Those moments would be the occasion for censored pulsions and fantasies to express through images, acts and various imaginary sensations.

Between sloth and rythmic frenesy, somnolence and awakeness, acoustic instruments, digital synthesis and home-recorded crushed samples, Alon(e)' second EP proposes a retrospective soundtrack of his childhish dreams.

Composed, mixed and mastered in Paris by @ahlonne

Tres Semillas es el primer disco que el ecuatoriano Lascivio Bohemia edita en conjunto con New Latam Beats, el cual es conformado por tres canciones hechas a lo largo del tiempo y en diferentes momentos creativos del proyecto, pero cuya propuesta global es comunicar de manera instrumental, tal como propone el artista, “mi fascinación por todo lo que veo, y experimento. Siempre de forma muy psicodélica sonoramente”.
