Zoufris Maracas - Bleu de lune (El Búho Remix)

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.

Now And Zen

Marvelous, graceful track by the Berlin-based producer GATS (@g-a-t-s).

The semiconscious state of the world of imagination, connecting without commitment facts and fictions, is the thematic-musical chosen to represent the sequences of release "Devaneio" (“Daydream”). Have you ever had the feeling of not knowing if you are awake or dreaming? We can concentrate our mental energy on the "here and now" but it can be healthy to allow ourselves the privilege to let our minds wander.

We thank the group of artists who kindly offered their compositions. It is an interesting mix of producers, pushing the sound in all sorts of new directions. We shared out the clipping among five releases, which tends towards the slow feelings. It seems like a vortex whose fluency explores elements of a fantastic world, which populates a dreamlike universe. This universe reproduces a little of the daydreaming’s wit, whose randomness is a striking fact. Therefore, the question that channels this whole plot is simple. What happens next?

– 

O estado semiconsciente do mundo da imaginação, conectando sem compromisso fatos e ficções, é o recorte temático escolhido para representar as sequências de lançamento "Devaneio". Você já teve o sentimento de não saber ao certo se você está acordado ou sonhando? Podemos concentrar nossa energia mental no "aqui e agora", mas pode ser saudável permitir-nos o privilégio de deixar nossas mentes vagarem.

Agradecemos ao grupo de artistas que gentilmente ofereceram suas composições. É uma mistura interessante de produtores, empurrando o som em todos os tipos de novas direções. Nós dividimos as faixas entre cinco lançamentos, que tendem para os sentimentos lentos. Parece como um vórtice cuja fluidez explora elementos de um mundo fantástico, que povoam um universo onírico. Esse universo reproduz um pouco da sagacidade do devaneio, cuja aleatoriedade é um fato marcante. Assim, a pergunta que canaliza todo esse enredo é simples. O que acontece depois?

GATS — Langlauf Auf Dem Feldberg

Ecuador’s rising son, Nicola Cruz, returns to Multi Culti with Cantos de Visión

One of the core artists in Multi Culti’s diverse catalog of globally-inspired dance music, Nicola Cruz is deservedly becoming the poster-boy for a new wave of producers that fuse indigenous sounds with internationally professional production, creating something entirely new, sonically. It’s a genre that Multi Culti ambassadors Dreems & Thomas Von Party refer to as ‘Folklorica,’ a psychedelic replanting of folkloric roots, and nowhere is it more skillfully executed than on Nicola’s tracks. 

Following up on his debut LP for Latin America’s indie powerhouse, ZZK Records, the return to Multi Culti sees Cruz sharpen his focus toward igniting the downtempo dance-floors that have slowly been gaining ground in clubs and festivals recently. This new club sound is at the fore on lead track Tzantza,  already an integral part of Nicola’s live shows and DJ sets at festivals like Sonar and Mutek. What stands out most, other than the sampled lead Marimba, is the sheer mass of the kick drum, the immense pushing power of this 102 bpm chugger. Bruxo and Danza de Visión follow suit, flexing some seriously first-world mixing mojo, elevating Cruz’s work to heights that the growing legions of flute-bearing imitators will only reach in their stoned dreams. 

The vinyl package will also feature Mantis and Invocación, off his debut Multi Culti EP, two incredible tracks that will finally get the 12” real estate they deserve. A remix EP will be following in February, featuring remixes from Jaja, Argentina’s Uji, Multi Culti’s own Thomas Von Party, and more.

The 50th release on Sol Selectas Records comes from the label founder himself - Sabo, and features the musical talents of a mother & her son, as represented by the title Earth & Sun. Twenty year old Elijah Sage plays the ancient ravanhatta string instrument on the opening track "Young Wisdom", weaving an emotional mid tempo blanket to lie under the Sun.  "Obatala" is the story of the Sky Father Orisha, who creates all human bodies according to Yoruban mythology. The deep tribal groove is complemented by the vocals of Elijah's mother Nikila Badua, representing the roots of the Earth.

Nicola Cruz from Ecuador, delivers a stellar remix of "Obatala"  taking us high into the Andes Mountains, where organic percussion and live marimbas flow like wind through the valleys. Blond:ish transforms "Young Wisdom" into a psychedelic tech house trip, adding infectious build ups and mind-altering  drums for peak time energy. And lastly Paris' Birds of Mind take us on a voyage into deep bliss with their ethereal reinterpretation of "Young Wisdom". 
The artwork by Helia Jamali, represents the loving balance between the Earth & Sun, and the energy they have created, makes the puppy flower dance in the desert wind.
