Sexy Summer Ecstatic Dance - Gaia Harvey Jackson

July 1, 2023

My 12th year performing at Priceless was the most fun I've had yet. Thank you to all of the planners, volunteers, and attendees that make Priceless happen. Deep gratitude to the musicians who made the music in this set, especially previous Priceless guests El Búho (@el-buho), David Last (@davidlast), and Rumpistol (@rumpistol). 

Special shout out to my forever inspirations for Forest vibes - Ganucheau (@ganucheau) and Dr. Toast (@drtoast). It still feels like everything I do with music is trying to do for others what they have done for me. 

Happy Priceless.

For our third podcast we welcome our not so distant friend from SF, @griffincrafts gives us his latest piece mind and of course, his musical selection :) 

"I made myself a list while working on this set. Here it is:
- be porous, but don’t lose the thread
- get lost 
- give it a rest
- it’s not a race
- it takes vibes to make vibes
- feel it, then figure it out
- the best places are worth returning to
- a good blend is greater than the sum of its parts"

tracklist:
Contact Field Orchestra - Star Struck Canopy
? - Take Me Back (M.RUX edit)
Coss - Nagual (El Búho remix)
Uji + Barrio Lindo - Kiok

After connecting with Daniel Daoudi (@aka_nordin)in Zurich and witnessing his heightened taste for atmospheric electronic music, we invited him to contribute to our Undersound Series. This mix is inspired by a rare club appearance he gave at the underground club "Hive" in Zurich.

Undersound Mixtapes Vol 044 _The Hive by Nordin

@elpeche

It was in September 2016 that Basy Tropikalne began operating as a netlabel and the first release came in a form of a Latin American compilation. Following the success of that album – which was featured among others by Indie Hoy, Cassette Blog, Sounds and Colours and tropicalbass.com - now it is time for a second installment which brings as many as eighteen previously unreleased tracks by a mixture of already recognized and rising and promising producers from all over the continent.

This massive compilation starts with Cigarra who has been doing an amazing work promoting female producers from Latin America with her work as the manager of Hystereofônica platform. Her uplifting track is followed by extremely talented Di Laif from Guatamela who came up with a deep and ominous composition called ‘Ominous’. Next up are the wonderful minds of Rafa Caivano and Lisandro Sona for whom this may actually be the last song in a long time under the alias of Klik & Frik as their big comeback with the Frikstailers project is planned for the next month. Right after them there are two fellow Argentinians – Maich presents delicate ‘Verde’ with a Caribbean touch whereas Kaleema turns to Africa and focuses her production on field recordings from Kenya.

Another remix and at the same time the longest track on the release comes from Liman producer Renzo Zong who has tried his chances on ‘Niña Salvaje’ by Jorge Mestanza and María Cristina Simon and changed it into something more profound. Subsequent track belongs to Inti Kunza, Santiago de Chile underground legend and one of the La Chimba Discos founders who jumps in with the hypnotizing ‘Peuma’. ‘Balada de Aventurança’, in turn, is delivered by Brazil’s Projeto Mujique who once again proves his skills in mixing the guitar sounds with electronic music.

Moving on we bump into a magical moment of witnessing the first ever collaboration between some of Costa Rica’s finest artists: producer Nillo and vocalist Javier Arce who created a masterpiece titled ‘Lamento de Aïa’. Then we are treated with back-to-back tracks from Buenos Aires-based acts as hard-hitting Camanchaca duo’s ‘Seneca’ is followed by a decent song from Uruguay-born Xanducero (just listen to this wonderful drums in the second part of ‘Aguilucho en mi Ventana’…).

After that there is the fastest track on the whole album with Ecuador’s Ataw Allpa remixing last year’s ‘Candirú’, the effect of collaboration between himself and Brazilian DJ Nirso who also appears on ‘Basy Tropikalne # 2 (Latin America)’ just few tracks further into the release. Brazil is also where ElPeche hails from and his major contribution to the compilation was not only mastering it but also handing over his own composition called ‘Cuicwah’.

‘Daisukidesu’ is a work by Argentina-born Germany-based Kumbale Records founder Pocho who created a kind of cinematic cumbia song sampling anime – hence its Japanese title. Ore Rüb , the name of the next project, may sound mysterious but the producer behind it is no other than Andreh Torres, previously known as Nacho Libre. It is a great honor to present the debut track of his new alias in the Basy Tropikalne release.

Beautiful and melodic ‘Renjasé’ by Mr. Toé of Konn Recordings perfectly introduces the true gem that is hidden at the very end of the compilation. Colombia's Cerrero and El León Pardo once again reinterpreted one of the Afro-Colombian legendary groups to create a magnificent dub remix of a classic song.

ElPeche - Cuicwah (feat. Furmiga Dub)

Live set from the famous underground Friday night party at Fridayhappiness--an astounding autosustainable community in Algarve, Portugal that throws down an epic party with three stages every Friday.  I had the pleasure of performing alongside fellow downtempo/world DJs
Mike Stellar (Shika Shika) and Emilis Rut.

Shika Shika is more than happy to present a new Botanas single by Brazilian talent Numa Gama from the Voodoohop Collective. In Numa Gama's words:

"Sounds can transport us in every single way. Right now, we cannot get together so I decided to collect these tracks to give everyone out there the chance to listen and dance. Together still, but in a more diluted spacetime.

This release contains two tracks I used to play a lot on the dance floor, an amazing spontaneous cross remix by Barda and Barrio Lindo, as well as an ambient mix which I couldn't resist to make at the eleventh hour. 
All the sounds were collected from the many recordings I made in Amatlan the Quetzalcoatl, México, in early 2018. Even the echos were extracted from how the sound of the fireworks bounced between the mountains - something you could hear often because of the religious celebrations between November and December. In an improvised home studio, I added percussion, ngoni and guitar layers. The synth sound design for the tracks turned out to have an airy, smooth touch which resembles somehow a West African sounding texture - but from another dimension. As if it was a memory swimming in ether.

I hope more memories will keep being added to the magnetic field that these tracks represent. 

Many thanks to Shika-Shika for making this happen, Hannah Sulamith who provided the Ngoni at that time and Renata Chebel for the picture.

See you all soon!

With love,
Numa Gama

Numa Gama Can You Hear It ?

Recorded live Nov 6, 2020, celebrating the release of Ganucheau’s album “Variations on a Playground." The influence this music has had on me is hard to overstate. I consider Ganucheau's sound and this album in particular to be the core of my experience at Priceless, one that I deeply enjoy sharing with others at the event. And now, we can all share it at home thanks to its release.

The evening was intended to be full of soothing music, as in the US we were in the 4th night of not having election results - it had been quite a week and we all needed something other than the news and doomscrolling for a few hours. My set attempts to channel the mix of emotions I've been feeling over the last months, give a little rise and fall, and end on a soft note. Like we do in the forest.
