Following tradition, we briefed our invited artists (musicians and painter) to create their own interpretations of the underworld according to Aztec mythology:

Tepeme Monamictlán is the second of nine levels of the underworld Mictlán, also residence of Tepeyóllotl (god of mountains, echoes and jaguar); this is the place where two mountains crash, producing enormous echoes as signs for the dead to cross to the next level.

For this occasion, we suggested the musicians to intersect the concept with a trip-hop sound, while staying true to their craft.
The results are beautiful.

Bienvenidos a la décima edición de Caja Negra, una serie que no para de sorprendernos gracias a los rumbos de amplio rango por los que transita.

En esta ocasión, nos acompañan las mentes maestras de Daniel Lofredo (Quixosis) y Joaquín Cornejo con un mix grabado en vivo, sin editar.

"un sonido envolvente y desorientado. Melancólico y trascendental, evita narrativas y en vez crea “situaciones de tiempo”, un evento en vez de un producto. Que cada tema sea un lugar habitable, más que una idea o una historia. Que cada tema fuera un organismo vivo, palpitante. Que se sienta el proceso de su creación al desenvolverse. Como la materialización de una premisa absurda. Paradojas. Cada tema un lugar dispuesto a recibir la narrativa del que lo habite...

Zoroxxe es un dúo de musica experimental creado a base de flujos de señales retroalimentadas, procesadas y reverberadas en bucles absurdos, que al ser combinados se balancean al borde del caos. Ritmos experimentales y rotos, texturas fabricadas a base de cinta magnética y ruidos calurosos en un sonido envolvente y desorientado..."

Puedes escuchar su más reciente álbum en @tambi3n -de los mejores labels de ambient que hay.

Welcome to the tenth edition of Caja Negra, a series that never ceases to amaze us thanks to the eclectic paths through which it wanders.

On this occasion, masterminds Daniel Lofredo (Quixosis) and Joaquín Cornejo join us with a live recorded mix, without any editing.

"an immersive and disoriented sound. Melancholic and transcendental, avoiding narratives and instead creates "time situations", an event instead of a product. Each track is a habitable place, rather than an idea or story.  Each track is a living, pulsating organism. Let the process of its creation be felt as it unfolds. Like the materialization of an absurd premise. Paradoxes. Each track, a place willing to receive the narrative of the one who inhabits it ...

Zoroxxe is a duo of experimental music created and based on flows of signal feedback, processed and reverberated in absurd loops, which when combined, balance on the edge of chaos. Experimental and broken rhythms, magnetic tape textures and hot noises in an immersive and disoriented sound ... "

Segundo compilado de Tepeme Música, celebrando nuestro quinto aniversario.

Mictlán II es un álbum conceptual donde siete artistas que elegimos crearon su interpretación del viaje al inframundo según la mitología y cosmovisión prehispánica de los Aztecas.

Mictlán es el inframundo y parte del universo vertical, creado por la pareja de dioses soberanos de los muertos. Sus nueve niveles representan el viaje del Dios Tonatiuh, quien, al morir en el poniente, ingresa a su fase de oscuridad realizando un viaje al Mictlán, donde están las entrañas de la tierra, lugar donde se reposa y se gestan los componentes que han de nacer renovados para posarse nuevamente sobre la tierra.

Estas dos fases, luz y oscuridad, se asocian directamente con los conceptos de vida y muerte. En un sentido simbólico, artístico y filosófico nuestra vida cobra la misma suerte: emergemos desde el interior del vientre para ver la luz, forjamos nuestra vida para alcanzar el máximo desarrollo haciendo florecer nuestro corazón y finalmente nuestra vida se apaga, y justo ahí comienza un viaje al Mictlán donde nuestro cuerpo será depositado al interior de la tierra.

Tepeme Monamictlán es el segundo de los nueve niveles y residencia de Tepeyóllotl (dios de las montañas, los ecos y el jaguar). Esta es la región donde dos montañas chocan, produciendo ecos como señal a los muertos para cruzar al siguiente nivel.

Colaboraciones: YNV, Komodo Kolektif, Isaac Soto, Andi Otto, Spaniol, Tai Rona, Decha.

A nuestros amigos y seguidores, gracias por acompañarnos estos primeros cinco años.

—————————————————

ENGLISH

Following our tradition, Mictlán II is a concept album in which seven artists we selected created their interpretation of the journey to the underworld according to the pre-Hispanic mythology and cosmovision of the Aztecs.

Mictlán is the underworld and part of the vertical universe, created by the pair of sovereign Gods of the Dead. Its nine levels represent the journey of the God Tonatiuh, who, upon dying in the west, enters his phase of darkness, making a trip to Mictlán, where the entrails of the Earth are, a place of rest and gestation of components that are to be born renewed to land again on Earth.

These two phases, light and darkness, are directly associated with the concepts of life and death. In a symbolic, artistic and philosophical sense, our life takes on the same fate: we emerge from inside the womb to see the light, we forge our lives to reach the maximum development making our hearts flourish and finally our life dies down, and right there begins a trip to Mictlán where our body will be deposited inside the Earth.

Tepeme Monamictlán is the second of the nine levels and residence of Tepeyóllotl (god of the mountains, the echoes and the jaguar). This is the region where two mountains collide, producing echoes as a signal to the dead to cross to the next level. 

Collaborations: YNV, Komodo Kolektif, Isaac Soto, Andi Otto, Spaniol, Tai Rona, Decha.

@mrux - Berlin.

Five years of Tepeme, check. M.RUX steering the wheel for the 100th mix of this series, check. 

M.RUX records legendary set after legendary set, and he's back after some time since his last one, joining us for our birthday número cinco. Soulful, bluesy, world exotica, misty psychedelia and of course, crazy good drums. 

"It's all framed in by samples of Georges Perec and Bernard Queysanne's film:
"Un Homme Qui Dort" from 1974 
which to seems fit our current situation pretty well."

Connecting for such a special moment, the artwork comes from a collab between collage geniuses Ventral is Golden and Dima Rabik. Their visual work is enchanting and them working together for this is just heartwarming.

Shout out to YNFND, one of our fav labels and home of M.RUX, where he is one of the instigators ☂

Y gracias a todos los que nos escuchan, felices cinco años.

@lotte-ahoi - Berlin.

Welcome back, dear listener. It's a pleasure to have you here. 

So, wheels are in motion and guess what? We got multicultural top selecta Lotte Ahoi to start the year off right. 

With her recording from Plan:et C - Beta 2021, she gently leads our imagination to a soothing garden of colorful music, where every flower represents a track carefully planted and nourished. As you wander and smell the fresh air, you feel that you can call this your home and come back anytime you want.

When listening to this experienced digger, you notice a potpourri from so many directions, yet, what has always remained constant in her mixes is the rather relaxed rhythm and lots of melody she swings. For years we keep falling in love with her mixes, as we align with her philosophy that musical boundaries only exist in our heads.

In order to understand what moves her and her listeners, one has to imagine the nature of a sloth – a sloth that loves music but hates stress, instead choosing to hang on a tree, watching the flowers grow and waiting for the sun to shine in her ears.

Lotte, we thank you for your never-ending search for diamonds in the rough, slowly weaving them together in a slowmomoving and sneakily surprising wave of Funkumbiafrorientropical Slothdisco (yeah, that's right). 

Shout out to @urbancosmonautradio, a distinguished label and mix series that she runs with Burntale, which keeps being an inspiration for Tepeme. 

And last but not least, join us in wishing her a happy birthday! Which is today 🎈 Best wishes, you legend. May you continue to delight the world with your taste for many, many years.

Cheerfully, we get to premiere music we love. Is it Karma Calling? 

In the form of a fervent homage to Mulatu Astatke, Romanski brings a shaky expression of the best international downbeat out there. The title track for his new EP on YNFND lands at Tepeme Música with all its glory, perfectly blending electronic and organic elements with impecable taste in sound, artwork and vibe.

We hope you enjoy this EP as much as we do, stay tuned for its release on 11.11.2022

Follow los amigos ☂️ @djromanski @ynfnd 

Official infos: 

Cosmopolitanism is creeping into the bedroom studios of producers worldwide.
Romanski is another agent evolving transcultural hybrids, which blend from retained folkways to modern aged club grooves.
A mixture of electronic beats in a rigid machine order and handmade organic moments woven together to form an eclectic sound. With a bit of drama, the hamburg based dj & producer Romanski, invites you on a diverse journey with his unique vision of club music.
Balearic groove patterns accompanied by repetitive bongo motives & dimmed synth themes flow along the 4 tracks (2 of them featured on 7" vinyl) of this EP. The title track "Karma Calling" is a passionate homage to Mulatu Astatke, "Tagh Tagh" is surrounded by an Iranian children’s song, "Gaugin" features a Tahitian vocoder line about the french painter and on "Ants" Romanski reflects on lyrics that came to him when resident at a sanatorium years ago.
Romanski is using his custom sound range & tools to express his downbeat grooves in this well balanced release. Hide below or turn around the umbrella with devotion and delight.

@joaquincornejomusic

Innovative, dubby and hypnotic mix from Ecuadorian producer and DJ Joaquín Cornejo. It's been years since he caught our ears' attention with "Túneles", a dark cumbia superhit we still play from time to time.

Now it's a pleasure to have him as our guest for a Caja Negra journey, where he takes us from exquisite ambient textures to sounds from polyrhythmic African music and modular techno with dubby feels.

Influenced by popular music from Latin America and inspired by spontaneity, asymmetry and intuition, his music indicates an organic sensation, both for its sound form and structure.

Our friend's record collection and imagination are both so vast and one of a kind. We are truly happy to present his contribution for ecos del mundo, very fitting to the spirit of the series with extra finesse on the side.

Gems, rarities, experimentation. That's what it's all about.

Are you comfy and barefoot? BurnTale brings her style and taste to ecos del mundo, which we are cosmically drawn to since coming across her mixes and seeing her play in Mexico City. 

Another big trait for our admiration to her comes from being label curator of Urban Cosmonaut Radio; one of the projects that inspired us to pursue curation of the best electronica we could find. It's only natural she had to be our guest.

This mix is rich in diversity and flavor,  taking us from jazzy cosmic landscapes all the way to dreamy hypnotic grooves and funky futurism.

Tepeme Monamictlán is the second of nine levels of the underworld Mictlán, also residence of Tepeyóllotl (god of mountains, echoes and jaguar); this is the place where two mountains crash, producing enormous echoes as signs for the dead to cross to the next level.

@mike-stellar - Portugal

Welcome back to ecos del mundo. This edition features an experienced dj, promoter and booker out of Lisbon, his artist name encapsulates his essence, and this journey is proof of it.

From the moment we take off, you can appreciate Mike's delicate way of curating and telling a story. We had the pleasure of witnessing his multifaceted craft at Casa Reia in Lisbon, a beautiful place by the beach that was elevated with his top notch booking, dj sets and energy.

Mike Stellar’s vast experience and fine hearing allows him to thoughtfully curate a unique sound journey that connects various corners of the world, blending European electronic tunes with eclectic beats of African and Brazilian origins.

The Angolan born artist is well established in the Portuguese scene as a refined music selector.
His talent to rescue rare gems from the past and serve them in a progressive folktronic downtempo set, has infused a new flavor into slow techno for time to come.

Obrigado, Mike. We salute you

The Olmec culture was defined and unified by a specific art style. Crafted in a variety of materials—jade, clay, basalt, and greenstone, which is an archaeologist's term for carved, green-colored minerals—much Olmec art is naturalistic. Other art expresses fantastic anthropomorphic—human-shaped—creatures, often highly stylized, using an iconography reflective of a spiritual meaning. Common motifs include downturned mouths and cleft heads, both of which are seen in representations of were-jaguars and the rain deity.

---------------------------
The names of the gods of the Olmec are not known other than that they often represented phenomena such as rain, the earth and especially maize. For this reason, identifiable gods from Olmec art have been given numbers instead of names (e.g. God VI). 

The Olmecs gave special significance to the animals present in their environment, especially those at the top of the food chain such as jaguars, eagles, caimans, snakes and even sharks, identifying them with divine beings and perhaps also believing that powerful rulers could transform themselves at will into such fearsome creatures.

Primer compilado que estrena la fase de label de Tepeme Música.

Mictlán es un álbum conceptual a través de géneros e interpretaciones de 18 artistas sobre el inframundo según la mitología y cosmovisión prehispánica de los Aztecas.

Mictlán es el inframundo y parte del universo vertical, creado por la pareja de dioses soberanos de los muertos. Sus nueve niveles representan el viaje del Dios Tonatiuh todas las noches en las fauces de los señores de la Tierra. 

Tepeme Monamictlán es el segundo de los nueve niveles y residencia de Tepeyóllotl (dios de las montañas, los ecos y el jaguar). Esta es la región donde dos montañas chocan, produciendo ecos como señal a los muertos para cruzar al siguiente nivel.

First compilation that premieres the label phase of Tepeme Música.

Mictlán is a conceptual album through genres and interpretations of 18 artists about the underworld according to the mythology and pre-Hispanic worldview of the Aztecs.

Mictlán is the underworld and part of the vertical universe, created by the pair of sovereign gods of the dead. Its nine levels represent the journey of a god every night in the fauces of the lords of the Earth.

Tepeme Monamictlán is the second of the nine levels and residence of Tepeyóllotl (god of mountains, echoes and jaguar). This is the region where two mountains collide, producing echoes as a signal to the dead to cross to the next level.

Siguiente destino: Byron Bay 🇦🇺

Here's Oceania's second encounter with the series, made by producer Moontide, who in this mix included a few of the new tracks he's written and a couple he did for a film score. 

As a clear intention for the mix, he chose the theme of global healing. It's a storyline narrated from the view point of mother Earth looking back on her planet engulfed in flames, there are spoken word pieces by 4 different women (Jeanne Lee, Severin Cullis, Greta Thunberg & Ayme Doran) throughout to narrate the storyline. He recorded it in his studio whilst almost the whole state he lives in is on fire, triggering a lot of protests to do with climate change. So this is an artistic contribution to support the message.

ecos del mundo 090 | Moontide

We perceive spaces in three dimensions. The dimensions of a visually perceived object can be described with absolute values, whereas the acoustic space knows no absolute dimension, no Archimedian point. There is only relation.

The presence and absence of sound allows us to follow the traces left by the sounding. The space itself is still. It is its content that brings it to our attention. We can record traces of space, as we can create synthetic spaces, unreal and untranslatable to the visual. Space reflects on its content. It resonates with it and ultimately creates a vanishing impression of an atmosphere. The compilation „Spaces" brings a selection of dark, but sweet spaces filled with emotional departures to the attentive listener.

Here's a reference when we think of emerging talent from this side of the world. A complete master in his craft.

The music of Antaares reflects dedication and a deep understanding of slow atmospheres and rhythms, seizing you gently into clean, hypnotic drives. For this special occasion, he offers us the gift of his first live mix with unreleased tracks.

H¡s works have been exposed by labels like down. from Austria and Tropical Twista Records from Brazil. The future is bright for the also member of mexican collective Plurpura Records.

ecos del más allá 021 | Antaares (Live)

Delicious new track from @yigitbulbul 's album 'Fever' sees the light with us. A complete honor to bring this fresh, innovative release to you; courtesy of our always admired @pingipung records. 

Out on November 6 on vinyl and digital, we fully recommend it 🧾 
https://ybulbul.bandcamp.com/album/fever-2

The album is framed by two contemplative tracks, which are reminiscent of Holger Czukay’s oeuvre. The saxophone in the opening track "The Heath" undulates like an introvert leading voice in a meditation. The long and meticulously crafted ambient outro "Txalaparta" features a spoken word sample by the Basque folk musician Txomin Artola from 1978. The four tracks at the heart of the album are beat driven, percussion-heavy, loaded with synths and random horn samples. "Alo?" sounds like Snakefinger tries to get on a Skype call with Serge Gainsbourg. "Cacti All Over My Head" could well be a Ween instrumental with long arching synth lines over a slowed down bossa nova beat.

Fever is a frivolous album which bursts with exalted charm and guest musicians. This is not another greetings-from-the-lockdown album, but with the obvious reference in the title it’s almost a tongue-in-cheek name about creative obsessions of our times.
It's the debut album by the multi-instrumentalist Y Bülbül who has learned his trade working with various interesting artists and bands in London in the past 10 years. He is also a passionate crate digger and DJ. His own radio show is unerringly titled "Bülbül's Gemüsement Park", which airs on Netil Radio, a community broadcasting station in Hackney.

Bonus fact, Bülbül is the Turkish name for a brown-eared passerine bird, one that's into singing.

@lsdaensen - Germany.

The full moon has had its effect on everything and everybody. For Daensen? His subconscious worked best with the past lunar phase and marked the way to record the beauty you are about to listen.

After years of appreciating his work as a one-of-a-kind selector and as "frontal cortex" of @drosssel (top label in our list, too), we are delighted for the fact he is joining our beloved Caja Negra series.

Romantic, experimental waves surface; and our heart gets stuck in the slow and driving sound of freaky sour Disco, the warmth of deadbeat House and the intricacy of soundscaping Avant-garde tones.

Caja Negra 009 | Daensen

To celebrate our 4th year anniversary, our special guest is a scientist who closely observes and studies the atmospheric conditions for good vibes in the room; a sorcerer who conjures the weather of emotions and creates a certain climate of feelings on and around the dance floor.

Her podcasts are deliberate storytelling experiences, and this moment in time is no exception. @isabeaufort plays with love and straight, fluffy bass lines; a good dose of vocals and sparkling melodies that will happily take you in their arms. 

Her essence is present throughout the mix, and such feeling of closeness is definitely felt when she's behind the decks, closing a special occasion. This is why her ecos del mundo fits pretty, pretty good as a way to say goodbye to 2020 and celebrate 4 años de Tepeme. 

ℒaut & ℒuise in da house, baby.

Follow this skilled dj and dig into her precious work.
