TRIGAIDA is the latest musical phenomena to have come out of the small but colorful contemporary electronic scene of Eastern Europe’s Bulgaria. The folktronica trio is formed by multi-instrumentalist Georgi Marinov (Horhe), folklore singer Asya Pincheva, and multifaceted electronic producer Ivan Shopov.

ELATE is the debut full-length offering of the project and is a unique blend of traditional Bulgarian folklore and contemporary electronic music, which is also generously sprinkled with influences ranging from contemporary jazz, to world music and neoclassical thanks to the plethora of world-class guest musicians, who were also involved in the album. The artwork of ELATE is based on an oil piece by Bulgarian graffiti pioneer Nasimo.

In ELATE the talented trio is not alone in their journey. In an attempt to expand their musical landscape, by embracing an even wider variety of world music languages, they have invited world-renowned collaborators among which Theodosii Spasov (kaval), Dimitar Bodurov (piano), Akira Uschida (clavichord, saxophone), Maxim Anokhin (programming), Burak Malcok (ney), Ace Vaptsarov (guitar, strings arrangement), Mariya Dimitrova (back vocals), Neyko Bodurov (trumpet), Tayfun Ateş (percussion) and Güldeste Mamaç (violin). Their contributions allowed TRIGAIDA to add even more nuances to their already innovative and exciting musical palette.

TRIGAIDA commissioned the artwork of ELATE to world-acclaimed Bulgarian graffiti artist Nasimo. Active since the early 90s and considered one of the most important graffiti and fine art muralists on the Balkans, Nasimo is a regular collaborator of Ivan Shopov. In his current work, the artist is equally focused on muralism and studio painting, further developing his signature style and vision.

TRIGAIDA - NIDELYO feat Theodosii Spassov and Dimitar Bodurov

10 years on from the conception of Outtallectuals in the form of a Facebook community, we're delighted to still be here, finetuning the label's signature sound in a never-ending global creative soup. 

Accordingly, 'Liminal Lore' celebrates OUTTA's first decade through a predictably collaborative roster, featuring the label regulars, as well as new contributors such as Bulgarian legends, Ivan Shopov and Theodossii Spassov, cinematic bass producer, Boketto, the deep ambient psychedelic dub techno duo of Arkaean and Unsung I, and POAN, Lo.Renzo's ambient side project with Giacomo Barbari. 

The concept of 'Lore' is sonified through the 'old world' influences of the album; through the sounds of nature, bulbul tarang, banjo, g clarinet, darbuka, hang drum, sarangi, slide guitars, violins, flutes & tribal percussions. 'Liminality' is, of course, through the celebration of a shifting decade, an in-between milestone for the label.

Theodosii Spassov Folk Quintet - Vienna Balkan Fiver - 05.05.2012

What if a small neighborhood store held the sounds of an entire island?

Omorphita Cornershop is a sonic escapade through Cyprus, where field recordings, folklore, dance music, and spoken word collide in a kaleidoscopic, border-defying collage of the intimate and the epic. Inspired by the realities of migration, memory, and the layered identity of a divided Nicosia, Serge Bulat transforms lived experience into a living archive of sound, stitched together with imagination, urgency, and quiet rebellion.

This isn’t just an album - it’s a fictional shop where disappearing voices, overheard stories, broken beats, and everyday rituals fill the shelves. A tribute to both the local and the global, the traditional and the experimental, Omorphita Cornershop invites you to wander its aisles, listen closer, and reconsider what it means to belong.

Created in times of personal and collective upheaval, the album explores how creativity endures - and even flourishes - in the cracks of collapse. Whether you’re hearing the echo of a border, a prayer, or a party, this is music for crossing thresholds and embracing rhythm in times of change.
