Taylor McFerrin - Already There (feat. Robert Glasper and Thundercat)

"Laughing in the Wilderness” is the centrepiece of Samuel Virgo’s new artistic era — an alternative rap track laced with post-punk grit. Inspired heavily by the Skinty Fia sound of Fontaines D.C. and the melodic grit of Newdad. Jagged guitars meet stripped-back drums and emotionally raw vocals, delivering a sound that's incredibly introspective. Whether he's spitting over distorted basslines or crooning into the void, Samuel Virgo makes music for people looking for something real. He's already earned support from being played on BBC Introducing Sheffield , features on Record of the day & COLORSXSTUDIO, a set at The Alternative Escape Festival 2024 and playlisting from DMY and Ones to watch.

Laughing in the Wilderness draws inspiration from NewDad, Fontaines D.C., and the raw confessional energy of other indie icons. The song in its simplest form is a love song - about the eurphoria of losing yourself in your partners eyes and the intensity of that connection. “Laughing in the Wilderness” stands as his boldest statement yet: a sound that’s genre-defying and distinctly Samuel Virgo.

Moogfest is proud to announce an exclusive remix from Moor Mother and collaborator King Britt. This is part of our ongoing collaboration with our 2017 line-up. Below Moor Mother describes the track in her own words. Enjoy. 

From Moor Mother... 

The remix represents Philadelphia at its best, King Britt has been an artist that I have had the honor to perform with and learn many things just by watching him.  I am thankful that he has remixed one of my favorite songs from the album originally produced by artist Wizard Apprentice.  Time Float speaks about the environmental warfare that continues to plague historical African American and low income communities.

Our new single. 

Some of us pretend to be bulletproof, to keep smiling through the daily grind. This is an anthem for all of us to break free and celebrate the wonder of human hearts and minds. Nothing's too precious: it's all choices.

Hold it close to your heart.

Andre Wiken is a visual and sonic artist. Traveling around the world in search of rare fabrics that he uses to craft one-of-a-kind hats, life in the world of his company Lower Park is very much a metaphor for the way he creates music. Mixing and matching patterns from different corners of the globe, pieces are seamlessly woven together to create joyously vibrant, meticulously textured works of art. His first release with Astro Nautico since 2015 single ‘Que Te Come Tiburon’, 'Mameluco' is a trio of late-night breezers, perfect for an impromptu dance party on the beach.

On ’Get Avion’, Pacific holiday pads are fastened to uptempo drums with Estef Najera’s catchy vocals listlessly riding along a soft-shifting melody dreamscape. The namesake of the EP, ‘Mameluco’ feels like a kinetic romp through childhood memories, sun-melted vibes evoking half-remembered parties and family vacations fading into images of old friends. ‘Nube Vielen’, perhaps the most club-functional of the three, is a hazy sunset glide through space, anchored by tropical polyrhythms that dare the listener not to get up and bust a move.

In celebration of this release, we are also selling a handful (read: RARE) of Wiken’s hand-sewn ‘Malikabota’ hats, featuring fabric personally sourced from Kathmandu, Nepal.

"Little Bird" is the first glimpse of the upcoming "Graveyard Novelas EP", the upcoming release by Mocky. "Graveyard Novelas" spans Mocky´s recent move from Berlin to L.A. and musically bridges the gap between these two metropolises, finding lots of common musical ground, from Berlin´s dark club sounds to L.A.´s hypnagogic songwriting renaissance. In making the EP Mocky used everything from a 30-piece choir to an autotuned vibraphone and the songs feature vocals from the silken voiced Hilary Gay and Pegasus Warning as well as Mocky himself, and Lucky Paul lends a hand on co-production.

Off Nights (2020) is the first solo venture of Philly-based producer, multi-instrumentalist and DJ Lee Clarke, known for his jazz-inflected, texturally rich beatmaking. As executive producer of Kingsley Ibeneche’s Realms EP (2019), Lee Clarke’s studio work has recently received praise from Afropunk, The Fader, OkayPlayer, OkayAfrica, and NPR.

After years co-writing and producing music behind the scenes for a number of artists soon to be released in Astro Nautico's Atlantics X series (Kingsley Ibeneche, Jasmine Cassell, KillerWhale) and managing and performing with Kingsley Ibeneche’s live band, Clarke's individual expressions find pockets of atemporal melodic bliss circulating over funk, hip-hop, and RnB rhythm sections.

There is a unique lyricism in Clarke's idiosyncratic production techniques, with stylistic nods to jazz and Brazilian samba. The music is additionally layered with colorful contributions from Jarrett Gilgore (saxophone), Martin Gottlieb-Hollis (trumpet), and Astro Nautico co-owner Bennett Kuhn (additional production).

Off Nights marks the beginning of Astro Nautico’s Atlantics X campaign to benefit artists negatively impacted by COVID-19. Clarke’s next productions for this campaign include releases by Kingsley Ibeneche, Jasmine Cassell, KillerWhale, and a collaboration with Kingsley Ibeneche and Ivy Sole. Kingsley Ibeneche’s debut full-length album, executive produced by Lee Clarke, is also forthcoming on Astro Nautico.
