Something Else Podcast series

Welcome to Something Else, the podcast series.. 

We aim to showcase artists who have inspired and guided us through unique musical journeys. We want you to feel at home, in a place we come together to explore.. 

Our first guest(001) and co-founder of Something Else is MANUMAT.

Hello, @manumat here :) i'm originally from Bogota, Colombia but been living in sunny Miami for over a decade. Through travel and personal growth I've come to feel the comfort of a deep and groovy kind of sound - One that explores all kinds of multicultural ideas. Ideas merged together to provide a funky but always groovy beat. Music is the universal language where I'm only but a messenger. 

Enjoy

 I want to thank those artists who have inspired me and guided me to find that comfort and are included in this mix: Billy Caso, Crussen, Sabo, MRUX, Carrot Green, Nico Jaar, Yor Kultura, Niklaus K, NU, Karela Dust and many more <3

Something Else

with MANUMAT - 001

Our special guest (002) and co-founder of this magical journey we call Something Else is:

LEMURIAN - an artist of evolution that flows with music sensitivity in order to touch hearts and inspire more humans, his idea of music changed when he started discovering and producing more conscious, touching and folkloric rhythms. Now he plays more grounding and organic sounds for people with soul and similar understanding. Something Else was created after him and his partner (MANUMAT) wanted to get more conscious people together in Miami, but loves the risk involved and finds it fascinating to educate and blow people’s mind with frequencies.

enjoy <3

Joseph Kutam ( @josephkutam ) aka “Kutam” uses his tropical background to express deep melodic productions. His mixes love to travel into spiritual journeys that incite freedom and peace on the dance floor. Obsessed with downtempo, Kutam embraces the low BPM to create a richer, fuller sound.

With a new year, we bring you a new podcast (#008)
This time by the Mexican duo - @2kuumba  <3

Kuumba is a project by Estefano and Mariel, psychologists who focus their curiosity on the human body, specifically on movement and its effect on self awearness. They explore with rhythms, frequencies, and share their discoveries in movement workshops open to all audiences.

Their sets explore rhythms of African and Latin American roots that are sometimes accompany by live percussion. Kuumba leads you from a high bpm afro house to the lowest tropical bass and cumbia reworks. 

This set was recorded live at an ecstatic dance experience that took place in Mexico City. Tracks were selected wisely for the audience that was fully committed to dance.

If you're in Tulum on January 9th (tomorrow!) catch them at the YAM festival (http://www.yam.mx/)

ENJOY <3
