Drifting - a movement with no certain direction… As a drifter you may move with ease and a calm mind, or you may find yourself on a mystical journey into the unknown, you’re never quite sure... These feelings of uncertainty have inspired our dear friend Kyle, aka @captures, when he began working on this EP three years ago. At that time his journeys had drawn him to Berlin where he found himself searching for a community to resonate with. With a bit of drifters fortune, we found each other here and there as the events and parties around Voodoohop and UCR brought him a sense of home: „Everyone seemed like wild characters in a play on some type of exotic underground that created a narrative free from boundaries. I loved the psychedelic atmosphere those days combined with electronic and world music sounds. Those experiences contributed a lot to this album and to who I am today.“

We’re pleased that our communities have provided inspiration that has led us to work with Captures on releasing this beautiful soundtrack. A soundtrack for all the drifters out there.

May this EP be seen as a dedication to not only the weightless feeling of floating but also to carry confidence and optimism on our paths to explore the great unknown. As Confucius said, „The journey is the destination“.

Macaúba é o nome do EP de estréia do projeto Kurup, de Renato Rocha. Artista multicultural e habitante do Cerrado, Renato nunca deixou de migrar entre gêneros e estilos musicais, criando pontes entre o orgânico e o artificial; analógico e digital; acústico e eletrônico. Nessa primeira compilação, Kurup nos mostra sua intenção narrativa e progressiva, mesclando novos suportes com antigas histórias que valem a pena serem recontadas. Sua pesquisa com a música folclórica e tradicional (principalmente da cultura Latina) demonstram seus interesses em ressignificar e reinventar. A busca para encontrar novos ou antigos recursos musicais renovados representam um desejo em transcender o tempo presente. 

English: Macaúba is the name of the debut EP of Renato Rocha project, Kurup. Multicultural artist and dweller of Brazilian savanna’s biome “Cerrado”, Renato never stopped migrating among genres and music styles, creating bridges between the organic and the artificial; analogic and digital; acoustic and electronic. In this first compilation, Kurup brought to us his narrative and progressive intention, mixing new supports with old stories that worth to be told again. His research with traditional and folklore music (specially from Latin culture) demonstrate his interests about reframing and reinventing. The search to find fresh or old renewed musical resources represent his desire in transcending the present time.

VIKEN ARMAN - Hope (Original Mix)

Few artists can claim to have their own distinctive “musical voice”: a style of composition and production that listeners instantly recognize. For starters, it takes years of experimentation to perfect, and most people simply don’t have the patience, talent or skills to pull it off. 

Ali Kuru is one of those rare producers whose music sounds like nothing else around. The Istanbul-based artist has spent the best part of a decade honing his trademark style – a fragrant and intoxicating aural brew that combines a myriad of influences with atmospheric field recordings and snaking, mind-altering Middle Eastern instrumentation – via releases for the likes of Luxa Flex, Kalisah, Sound Architecture and, most recently, Leng. 

It’s to the latter label that the publicity-shy producer returns with his most ambitious release to date, Egzotik. 15 tracks and 70 minutes deep, it’s not so much a debut album as a statement of intent. From start to finish, it feels like a humid, sweat-soaked saunter through the winding streets of Istanbul in the company of a musician who draws more inspiration than most from his immediate surroundings. 

Those surroundings come to the fore on opener “Bazaar”, where tipsy horns and gently strummed electric guitar passages slowly rise above the sound of a harbourside market. 

They’re present, too, within the souk rhythms and cascading pianos of “Zorba The Greek”, beneath the gentle throb of “Lost Bedouin”, inside the spaced-out, stargazing pulse of “Hiyar”, and around the chiming melodies and mournful strings of hushed ambient closer “Adios”. 

Kuru’s genius lies in his ability to take familiar musical tropes and twist them into unique, Ottoman-inspired shapes. So, while “Tangerine Dream” doffs a cap to the stretched-out hypnotism of the legendary krautrock band of the same name, its reliance on backwards drum hits, locked-in grooves and psychedelic sample loops is a far more contemporary proposition. 

Some may hear the influence of Detroit beatdown in the slow and dubby house grooves of “Le Voyage De Space”, while others could describe the drowsy “Ashoka” as being Weatherall-esque. Yet none of these tracks, layered as they are with traditional Balkan, Persian and Arabic instrumentation, sound like anything other than Ali Kuru productions. 

The result is an album that surprises and enthralls in equal measure. Highlights come thick and fast, from the bubbling, dub-house psychedelia of “Mount Damavand” and haunting deep techno humidity of “Sacred Vallley”, to the Augustus Pablo-in-Ankara shuffle of “Jungle Flower” and potent hookah hit of “Return to Paradise”, where sampled voices rise above a typically tactile groove.

During the coldest winter days I've experience around my area, 
I've been looked in my studio creating this two stories
Meanwhile walking, shooting and getting inspired.

Teil 5 von 25 der Geschichte

Das Grottenolmküken entpuppt sich als eifriges Empfangskomitee, das uns in 
Fernabsurdistan willkommen heißen möchte. Es geleitet uns zu Nutia, seinem Muttertier - halb Grottenolm, halb Delfin. Es spricht: “Liebe Menschenkinder, wie schön, dass ihr endlich da seid. Ihr wässert die verdorrten Felder unserer Herzen mit warmem Regenwasser und verwöhnt unsere verspannten Seelen mit Lavendelölbädern. Nun nennt uns eine Zahl zwischen Ölph und Drölph. Welche soll es sein?”.

☐ 	Verraten wir dir nicht!
☐ 	Zwölph!

Wir lieben & veranstalten sonst viele große bunte Partys. Das ist uns dieser Tage nicht möglich.
Wir denken: einfach mal nicht so weitermachen wie bisher!
Aufgeregt verkünden wir, dass wir viele unserer Lieblingsmusiker auf eine andere Art und Weise vereinen - Als Geschenk, zum guten Zweck, weil wir mega Lust darauf haben und auch um Danke zu sagen!
Wir hoffen, dass die Compilation in so vielen Wohnzimmern wie möglich läuft.
Die MusikerInnen und Sea-Watch e.V. freuen sich auf eure Spende.
