In an ongoing exploration of the psychedelic music world, Desert Trax is pleased to bring the ‘The Mycelium Is Remixed.’ 

Consisting of six reimagined tracks based on Liquid Bloom & PERE’s 2022 collaboration with famed mycologist Paul Stamets, “The Mycelium Is Listening,” this explorative collection features our favorite submissions from a remix contest hosted by our friends at Guatemala’s Fungi Academy earlier this year.

After receiving countless tracks from producers around the world, we’re excited to present the three winning compositions by Illusive Tuna, CALAGNA, and Ojhro, as well as our favorite runner-up tracks by Subliminull and Desert Trax artists Spice Traders and Tylepathy.

An immersive blend of styles that traverses the realms of liquidy psydub, deep tribal house, ethereal downtempo, and soothing ambient sound, ‘The Mycelium Is Remixed‘ showcases the innovative work of both new and established producers across the globe tapping into the bountiful resources of the natural world.

Xanga - Get Outta My Dreams (Nicola Cruz Remix)

Shika Shika - the record label without borders or owners - celebrates its first physical format release with ALBURA, the new album of Barrio Lindo, available as a 12” limited edition and in digital format on April 6th.
ALBURA is a portrait of the last three years of touring through Latin America, USA and Europe, that inspired this new phase in the work of Agustín Rivaldo, producer, luthier, and co- founder of Shika Shika Collective.
With its 12 tracks, ALBURA invites the listener to go on a deep and fresh journey into the contemporary sound of Latin American music, accompanied by organic electronica. In the midst of cumbias, sambas, carnavales and folkloric melodies, this record includes collaborations with indispensable referents of the new wave of South American producers who have crossed paths with Barrio Lindo: Jhon Montoya, Ela Minus, Lulacruza, Clara Trucco a.k.a. Wende Wen (Fémina/Weste) y Carrot Green.
This album merges the two universes that coexist in Agustín Rivaldo: the role of producer and the role of a luthier dedicated to traditional South American instruments. In fact, the name ALBURA is a botanical nod to the youngest part of the wood of a tree, and where the most recent growth rings of the trunk are found, at the same time a vital part for luthiers.
During the production process, Rivaldo recorded with instruments that he made himself: charangos, guitars, quenas and marimbas, among others. On the songs Pura danza, Saudade and Intensidad mañanera he uses his own singing voice.

Written, Played and Composed by Agustín Rivaldo a.k.a. Barrio Lindo

Barrio Lindo - Na Rúa (Feat. Carrot Green)

Ikaro", from the quechua "ikarai" (to blow smoke in order to heal) not only describes Southern American magical pratices. It also refers to the songs performed by xamans during ayahuasca ceremonies. The deep voices and percussions are used to amplify the intensity of ayahuasca ceremonies, enhancing the power of amazonian medicine through rhythm and melody. 

We aimed at gathering the beauty of the healing chant and the hypnotic power of digital organic synths and rythms to produce a psychedelic trip.

Vocal Credits : Mestra Olivia Arévalo Lomas from the Temple of the way of light, murdered on 2018 april 19th. She spent her entire life promoting Shipibo culture and protecting the forest from rare woods traffickers, settlers and corporations.

Psycho Tropiques - Ikaros

After a long wait we are really happy to share Albura Remixed. This is the first time Barrio Lindo has released a remix album of his original music and for this special occasion invited a group of talented fellow producers, and friends, to interpret, reinterpret, deconstruct or reconstruct the tracks from Albura.

That result is a deep journey into the Albura universe with each of the 12 versions giving a whole new life to the original music.

A special thanks to El Búho, SidiRum, Barda, Jin Yerei, Quixosis, Chancha Vía Circuito, Matanza, M, Rux, GrOund, Lagartijeando, Nicola Cruz, Kraut & Spaniol for taking on the task and doing justice to the originals.

Love
Barrio Lindo & the Shika Shika family

Etienne Jaumet - Spiritual (STW Premiere)

Movimientos presents ‘Santuario / Sanctuary’ Compilation
Song : @thexamanx - Hoy (@villagecuts remix)
Label : @movimientos
Release Date: 05-02-2021
⋘ ────── ∗ ⋅◈⋅ ∗ ────── ⋙
Xaman X are Bristol’s Tropical Bass all star live act featuring Mexican producer PantherPanther!, Worm Disco Club’s Jackson Lapes on percussion, Andalucian vocalist Marta Zubieta and Peruvian instrumentalist Susana Gutarra. Their  live sets are raucous journeys of high energy dipped in psychedelic flavours and their soon to be released debut EP is no different. In the meantime we got London’s mighty Village Cuts on the remix to bring an extra twist to the track ‘Hoy’ combining that killer Afro-Latin instrumentation with some driving beats and low end frequencies.
⋘ ────── ∗ ⋅◈⋅ ∗ ────── ⋙
Movimientos celebrate their 15 year anniversary with ‘Santuario / Sanctuary’ a compilation of 19 tracks from the UK-Latinx community and beyond. Representative of the new scene of artists taking the UK-Latin sound forward into the 21st Century and at the same time raising much needed funds for the UK Latin American community impacted by COVID-19. It includes 10 exclusive tracks specially commissioned for this project and features a range of styles from mutations of Reggaeton, RnB & Hip Hop alongside acoustic Soul, Cumbia, Jazz, Afro-Latin and future tropical electronic sounds.

The compilation stars long standing members of the scene and part of the Movimientos familia like Wara - who contribute a brand new track (and video) ‘Yo No Me Voy’, The Fontanas who get a Chill Baile remix treatment from London based producer Blue Canariñho, Lokandes who showcase brand new material and producers Soundspecies who team up with Venezuelan vocalist Luzmira Zerpa on a track merging Afro-Cuban percussion with deep electronics. Elsewhere there’s exclusive contributions and brand new tracks from new generation acts including Argentinian-British singer Malena Zavela, Colombian-British producers CXLI (pronounced CALI), songstress JSCA, Bristol based Mexican producer Panther Panther and electro-tropical band Xaman X (remixed by British producers Village Cuts), Downtempo meets Dembow with conscious spoken word from new dynamic combination Bushbby and Swuni. Plus there’s plenty of Cumbia from Imperio Bamba, Malphino, and Manchester’s Mama Racho plus stellar cuts from Esteban Card, Holly Holden y Su Banda, Soul / RnB from Stephanie Santiago and Pao Pestana and Reggaeton - Hip Hop from Mike Kalle x Morfius. The compilation also features specially commissioned artwork from British-Colombian artist and activist Janiru. 

100% of the profits generated from this project will go toward supporting Latin migrant communities in the UK impacted by COVID-19. We will support the following organisations LAWA (Latin American Women’s Aid), LAWRS (Latin American Women’s Right’s Service) and Apoyo Communitario Sur de Londres Covid-19 to ensure money will go to support workers in precarious situations, vulnerable women affected by the rise in domestic violence and more.

With much of the Latin American community here in the UK already in insecure situations, and with the loss of culturally important spaces like Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre, and with the Seven Sisters Latin Village under threat it’s more important than ever to use the power of music and art to fight against injustice & inequality and to help raise up voices of the under represented.

With its origins in the Latin American solidarity movements in the UK and it’s 15 year history of events in the UK Movimientos has always aimed to highlight the issues affecting the continent and the diaspora alongside working with artists, musicians and DJs to use culture as a weapon.
