ecos del mundo

@elmagomusic - Berlin/Thessaloniki.

Welcome to El Mago's treasure box 🪄

The prolific YNFND artist debuts in the podcast universe with a proper ecos del mundo mix, seizing the essence of the series to create a story nurtured with diversity and groove.

The way this wizard gets your freak on is unique, with tracks coming out of his 🎩 mixed in colourful and inventive styles, making soul and body shake in no time.

El Mago's music lies in our must-listen recommendations ever since we came across his works with Alma Linda and then were blown away with his powerful YNFND release "Kanénas", easily one of the best from last year.

Stay tuned as the innovative producer, singer and composer will keep taking us to new sonic landscapes where imagination is constantly expanding.

---------------------------

Tezcatlipoca was a central deity in Aztec religion, and his main festival was the Toxcatl ceremony celebrated in the month of May. The Aztecs also used the name Tepopochtli (smoking) to refer to the month of Toxcatl. The name of the corresponding month in other Mesoamerican cultures often have to do with smoke, steam or clouds.

Tezcatlipoca's nagual, his animal counterpart, was the jaguar and his jaguar aspect was the deity Tepeyollotl ("Mountainheart").

The cyclical nature they observed every day and every year was portrayed not through science or philosophical debate, but utter reverence and respect for the spiritual beings they believed were the cause of these events. It was gods like Tezcatlipoca that solidified this notion, representing both the silent wind and thunderous war.

@tijn-driessen - Belgium.

Bienvenidos. 

Almost 100! Our guest now is Tijn Driessen, innovative musician and an artist of the fine @moodfamily label, where he released his solo debut EP for a worldwide audience and one which we keep playing on repeat.

Tijn Driessen started as a session musician with roots in improvised music. After moving to Ghent, he got intrigued by electronic music while discovering Belgian nightlife. He has been surrounding himself with an increasing number of electronic (music) devices ever since. Never compromising on his love for the piano, he's challenging the balance between an electronic sound and his improvisational background.

Enjoy the ride and follow Tijn

@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.

Dedicated music researcher, Mettabbana joins the series with a thrilling mix that mantains a groovy glow throughout and breaks conventions.

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.

Welcome, @mettabbana

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.

Welcome the series!

This year we had the pleasure of enjoying GATS play in Mexico City. He became a good friend of the label after working together on our third EP called "Unnamed Dream" in 2019. 

Such a joy to see GATS in his element with this live hybrid set, which was full of nice surprises and unheard gems. Listen for yourself.

Special thanks to @conexarecords for setting up the night

@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

@kotoek - Brazil.

As an actress and ten years of experience with stages and movie sets, the narrative is inevitable in her mixes. The passion for both, acting and music, dedicated her to musical theatre for years. Her arrival in Berlin then made her fell in love with electronic music and to get involved and active in several collectives such as Nomade, Tropical Twista Records, Love Foundation and Sonido Tropico.

Recorded in Zurich (thanks to @mishymisch), her ecos del mundo tale brings one of the chillest mixes the series have ever seen, see for yourself!

Also, watch out as she's expanding her horizons to producing music; wonderful art expressions keep flowing...

@moontideaus - Australia.

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.

Enjoy and di hola:

@ramonawouters

3 years of Tepeme. And maybe 10 more will pass and we will keep saying "this is only the beginning".

We are always celebrating music, but this time the joy is accompanied by the 3 year mark. And so we chose Ramona Wouters to take the wheel and guide us in another one of her epic journeys.

We first listened to her in Manquemapu, on the south coast of Chile for Festival Nomade. She was playing a mystical sunrise set with ravishing views of the ocean and the forest. 

One year later, we saw her at Festival Dos Tierras in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and her groovy afternoon set made us fall in love with her taste. She's very talented when it comes to digging, mixing and feeling the audience. So take this as an invitation to let go, relax, flow, dance and feel the proper course of actions take place, as you observe and do.

Ramona’s sound weaves together a tapestry of melodies, textures and beats, reflecting two decades of extensive world travel. Always conscious of the energy of her audience, her sensitivity stems from a love of dancing, and results in an emotive, sensual style that exudes a rich array of feeling. It is Ramona’s way of giving back and getting back to that vital place we all go when the music feels right.

Festival appearances include Nomade Chile, Voodoohop Brazil, Fusion & Garbicz Germany, Lightning in a Bottle Oregon, Eclipse and many years playing at Burning Man music camps.

@h2ooooo (live) - France.

H2O is a tangy thermodynamic mixture whose carnivalesque scent mixes with forest aromas of the Parisian countryside. Its tasting provokes a progressive alteration of reality and guides it little by little towards the azure meadows of the collective unconscious.

Her skills with experimental rhythms, ambient, trip hop and other dreamy electronica mark the path for tasty, full-hardware and analog improvisations like this one.

A crystal clear journey that reflects H2O's liquid imagination (so ad-hoc), proven by limitless fluctuations through styles & atmospheres.

As you listen, you will discover biodegradable waves ∿∿∿∿∿∿

@lazysamambaia ~ Brazil.

⇟ Lush multicolored layers of hallucinatory soundscapes and tropical surroundings ⇟ This is the return of ecos del mundo.

Brazilian queen of slow rhythms, Lazy Samambaia earned our admiration years ago when we came across her stunning artwork as ‘ju sting’; particularly her creations for collectives such as Nomade and Dos Tierras with their visual identities, or mind-blowing art covers for Sonido Tropico & Frente Bolivarista. 

Then we listened to her set at Voodoohop na cachoeira and started making the connection… it was the same talented woman. 

Months ago at Souq’s online festival, as we were transitioning stages (or rooms), we were delighted to catch the beginning of her set, which was easily one of our favorites.

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.

@francaplays - Germany.

Bienvenidos al primer ecos del 2021; you are in for a treat.

Drawn by her energetic, creative and groove-driven mindset, we've had Franca on our wishlist almost since we created the mix series. She radiates pure ingenuity and craft when playing on the fringes of downtempo, house and techno. 

The mix includes four of her own tracks and it's all and beyond what you would expect from the talented Kater Blau resident. 

You can appreciate her producer work on labels like URSL, feines Tier and more recently Kiosk I.D.

En la mitología azteca, Tepeme Monamictlán es el segundo de los nueve niveles para llegar al inframundo, Mictlán; también residencia de Tepeyóllotl (dios de las montañas, los ecos y el jaguar).
