Pegarse a la tierra como a los muslos de una planta veterana que te quiere enseñar a respirar 
A volver 
A renacer sabiendo a qué mineral le debes tu vida, 
La vida, que se quiere brindar entera a través del alimento 
Del aliento, de la sal.
Una raíz hinchada, a la puerta de tus días, 
rompiendo el asfalto de tus pies.
Baila sobre sobre el lodo, 
que te piquen las hormigas, 
que te zumbe un alacrán
 
Enraízate 
abraza tu poder. 
 
Ello hay agua, no te canses
Ello hay agua, no te canses
No te canses, no te canses
Agua, agua hay. 
 
Coro
Oh la tierra e’ pa’ sembrar
To’ lo que nos da  (x2)

The Tails of my Mind (Music Version)

CANADIAN PSYCHO [PROD.RUBY DREDD]

London-based artist, producer, and creative ringleader Idioteque (Emanuele Savoca) announces his latest EP, A Stone’s Throw From Home.

With an ear for all things dark, atmospheric and bass-driven, the music that flows from the restless mind of Idioteque melds worlds between trip-hop, electronic and alternative rock; taking influences from an amalgam of artists, from Elliott Smith to Outkast, The Smashing Pumpkins to Portishead, it refuses to be pigeon-holed. Bringing together a love of guitar-led melodies and unfamiliar beat structures, Idioteque’s ideas are eclectic and ever-evolving, with this latest collection of tracks honing in on his more personal and emotive side to the creative process.

Following on from 2022’s Keeping You Alive = Killing Me More and a string of singles, the new EP shares a similar collaborative style and features vocalists and personnel who have now become regular members of the Idioteque collective in their live shows, including Bâlâ, Sheba Q, and drummer Sam Thorne. Working on each track in separate sessions, the results emphasise each member’s own external influence, all the while being tied together by the vision of Idioteque’s own universe.

Its followup, “I Remember”, also features Bâlâ, but is a much more tender track. Reminiscing on the breakdown of a past relationship, it draws on the light and dark of those memories, the confliction between the positive times and the pain. Stuck between remembering and moving on, the emotional vocal performance is what brings this track to life on a wholly relatable subject.

The EP ends with “In The Nearing Distance”, the most personal and emotional track on the record. More in the form of a spoken-word poem, the lyrics follow someone who is coming to terms with their own mortality, as their life comes to an end. Speaking on the track Idioteque says: “Fear [of death] is something I’ve struggled with for many years; writing this piece was certainly a cathartic experience, it sheds a melancholic light amidst the dark topic of loss and its aftermath”. The piece has become a very moving moment in the artist’s live set.

“Weightless Stairway” features regular collaborator Sheba Q, and draws on more hip-hop and neo soul influences for an uplifting midway point in the EP. Touching on a sense of self-belief, it’s about cherishing your ambitions and dreams and not letting them slip away.

“What Is Far Behind” (with previous collaborator Swan Diver on backing vocals), takes the record on another dark path, haunting with more memories of the past and themes of feeling lost. With its trip-hop structure and diverse soundscape, the track offers another angle to the interests of Idioteque.

Lead single “Stylet” - taking its title from the anatomical name for a wasp’s stinger - is a powerful force to be reckoned with. Deriving its lyrical themes from feelings of suffering with anxiety disorder, it incites the pain of slipping further into the deep, and the overwhelming sense of loss of control. The tune twists and turns with visceral imagery while the soundscape surrounding it intensifies, culminating in the momentary earth-shattering power of Bâlâ’s vocal capabilities.

Yasser Tejeda is an award-winning Dominican composer, guitarist, vocalist, and producer. According to Billboard, Yasser is giving traditional folkloric music a new spin with jazz, rock and Caribbean rhythms in "a frenzied celebration of ancestral union" while Juan Luis Guerra, the most influential Dominican artist in the world, praised his mission calling it the "marvelous example of what's happening with Dominican music.” Yasser’s hope is to incite an awakening so new generations will be inspired to explore, promote and uplift their afro-Dominican roots as well. 

Tejeda has released two commercial albums, Kijombo (2019) and Mezclansa (2009), with his group Palotré. Mezclansa was dubbed one of the “100 essential recordings of Dominican music” by the Dominican National Association of Art Writers (Acroarte) and his second album Kijombo received six awards from Dominican Republic's Premios Indie, including Best Album.
He also released his first solo acoustic EP called Interior (2021) and just finished his third studio album which features his new single “Tú Ere’ Bonita” and it’s scheduled to be released in the summer of 2023.
