São Paulo’s Spaniol (@s_paniol) opens up the new year with the first 2021 release from The Gardens of Babylon: Suites do Amar (eng. Ocean Songs About Love). After a year of worldwide uncertainty, the multi-instrumental Brazilian draws from his own personal experiences to bring a 6-track mini album compiled of universal themes, familiar emotions, and fresh perspectives.

As the creator and resident of Colectivo Sonido Trópico of São Paulo, Spaniol is a staple of his city’s local scene. The collective’s transcendental parties have brought the likes of Rampue, Oceanvs Orientalus, Xique Xique, Holger Hecler, and more to the city center while also traversing the world from Tulum to Tokyo. As a lifelong musician, Spaniol’s introduction to electronic music evolved from a background in classical guitar and flute as something of a “happy accident” whilst in his teens. Good thing for us though, as this current sound draws from all that surrounds him and has been featured on labels like Sol Selectas while gracing the stages at Katerblau, Sysifos, Heart Ibiza, De Martkantine and Public Works amongst others.

With elements of Classical, flashes of Brazilian Pop, Jazz, Samba, Caimbó, combined with both analog and didital percussion, the sounds of Spaniol are narrative, edgy, and undeniably energetic; Suites do Amar being a perfect example. Created on a secluded family property on the veritable island paradise of Ilhabela, Suites do Amar is a narrative about loss and rebirth, familiarity and uncertainty, companionship and seclusion. It encapsulates what all of us have felt throughout the past year, written in the micro and personal but representative of a macro reality. The Lp kicks off with the poetic musing on love and forgiveness, Amar:Perdão before the Brazilian classical inspired Lundu De Santa Maria Da Tempestade represents the coming storm. At its halfway point, Algernoia Brasiliensis starts to lighten the atmosphere through the realization of colour and life – a yellow/purple flower only native to Ilhabela. Then, an ode to a trusted companion and loyal company, Nina (aka Spaniol’s beloved Border Collie) reminds us of life’s little pleasures. Papaya Azul then sees Spaniol team up with longtime friend Salvador Araguaya on the ode to all things blue jazz. Finally, after 6 months on the near entirely rainforest clad island, São Pedro welcomes both Spaniol and listeners back to the mainland and the familiar with a fresh perspective and open heart.

After a 2020 that saw releases from Anstascia, Carlita, Jacob Groening, Vander, as well as the second annual The Monastery Compilation, The Gardens of Babylon now welcomes Spaniol to its label family. With Suites do Amar, he reminds us that regardless of what comes our way, it’s just life. Storms can be weathered, what’s lost can be found, and the things we hold dear may be the simplest pleasures of them all.

Get it!

TGOB - Suites do Amar - LP

Moving slowly underwater by night,
the solitary Hexapus dreams of a conversation. A feeling of safety amongst likeminded beings. 

There are dangerous traps out there, but Hexapus camouflages its tentacles under a coral to seek shelter. Rising from below at dawn, stranger than fiction, this sea animal has 9 brains and 3 hearts. 

Gray, brown, pink, blue, or green the six limbed mollusc blends in these colours with its surroundings to remain unseen. Maybe that is also a reason for its loneliness? 

We wish to thank Eri Yuzawa for the cover artwork of the Hexapus Dialogue.

REYSIS (Rey&Kjavik x SIS) - Toluu

Duality is what keeps the world in balance. Light needs darkness, cold needs warmth, and strength needs softness. These complementary opposites are necessary for evolution. The bouncing sounds of this album are a reminder of that. It is a melody for good luck, an invitation to experience multiple sensations and to keep moving forward with harmony as the destination

Take your phone, your tablet and your TV and throw them out the window! That’s the spirit and the idea uniting the eight tracks of the album “Out the Window” by Christopher Schwarzwälder & Iannis Ritter. Listening to this otherworldly piece of downtempo electronica will make you feel relieved and excited, as if you had actually removed your electronic shackles for a little while. This album is light and heavy at the same time, it’s in your room and outside, it is loud and quiet like an extroverted introvert.

The nature of this album is organic and analogue and simply weird - it’s a juxtaposition of well-known, homey sounds and the strange. The intro “Snow Broom” feels like waking up on holiday, where you hear the familiar sounds of your loved ones in the kitchen, however they are in a new kitchen, so it feels alluringly different. The title track “Out the Window” seems to conjure the listener and you will find yourself spacing out as if you were smoking really good sativa for the first time. Electron (feat. Mo) is another highlight, with its different characters it resembles an audio book of “The Neverending Story”. The vocals in “Make things smaller” and “Safe Place” feel hip-hop influenced and ancient, like someone rapping in-front of an open fire.

“Out the window” is an album for late summer, autumn, winter time or any time that you like to look out the window and inside your own mind.

Imagine studying a snow globe filled with humanity. We would seem strange and exotic, a fascinating Rubik's Cube of emotional permutations. That process of observation is creative fuel for Australia’s @theoddnessmusic The Oddness. On his striking second LP, ’Observations as a Stranger’, the results are undeniable. It feels honest and vital, each track a fully functional dancefloor weapon imbued with cathartic energy. Serving as the third full-length release for the Beat & Path label, its emotional sheen is a perfect fit for the Australian imprint.

Over the last five years, the Melbourne-based producer’s star has been on a steady rise, finding favour with names like Eskimo Recordings and Satin Jackets. It makes total sense: the Oddness understands groove, he knows dub and he loves organic, three-dimensional 4/4 beats. Listen closely and you will also hear a fascinated humanist too. Across nine tracks he collaborates with a host of artists, oscillating from blues-tinged beats to slow deliberate house rhythms exploring the human experience - sometimes with devastating effect.

Tracklist: 
1. Serenade
2. Exhale Feat. Anita Musca
3. Vibin
4. Sing it Back Feat.Lil Magdalena
5. Tommorows Euphoria
6. Ethical Lunch Feat. LunchyBloom
7. Tiger Eyes
8. Amplified
9. My Awake Feat. Dylan Ja
