Following his collaboration with Nicolas Jaar's Clown & Sunset label, Cruz has self-produced and self-recorded this landmark album. 

‘Prender el Alma’ is a new strain of Latin American music Cruz calls ‘Andes Step’. Influenced by new digital technology, blended with local influence, Cruz builds his tracks layer by layer, instrument by instrument, drum by drum, exploring local indigenous and Afro-cosmologies in a modern setting. 

From atmospheric opener ‘Sanacion’, the 10-track album journeys through short, sharp acoustic guitar riffs on ‘Puente Roto’ and the percussive ‘La Mirada’, to the electronic ‘Prender el Alma’. Down-beat ‘Equinoccio’ gets a vocal kick from Ecuadorian singer Huaira, ending with the blissful, lo-fi ‘Cocha Runa’ featuring Tanya Sanchez. ‘Prender el Alma’ ebbs and flows through a range of production of local sounds, feeling like a digital awakening.

This digital revolution is spreading through Latin America like wildfire, and nowhere is this more exciting than in the heart of the continent's bustling music scene, where Nicola Cruz is leading the way. 

Led by forward-thinking young producers and musicians, Ecuador is beginning to experience its own digital folklore revolution.  A new crop of producers and musicians are using homeland traditions and rhythms to build on a vibrant history of visual and sonic art, catapulting them into the 21st century.

ZZK are at the forefront of this burgeoning music scene. With artists such as Frikstailers, La Yegros, El Remolon and Chancha Via Circuito, they are defining a new and exciting Latin American music culture.

Out now on digital release - https://lnk.to/RBL043

Be Svendsen gets set to release the enchanting Twilight in Tankwa on Rebellion following his successful remix of NU’s Man O To on sister label Crosstown Rebels. Remix treatment comes courtesy of Berlin native Nico Stojan. 

Twilight in Tankwa is a mystical and musical journey that Be Svendsen explains “is the result of decades long intimate relationship with outdoor rhythmic dance experience. The foundation of the track is rooted in a synth hook from the early 50's. The vocal, inspired by a barbershop quartet, work to give it the character of a true desert hymn."

The remix comes from Nico Stojan who twists a fresh melody into the original over driving undertones. Having honed his musical style as resident at the infamous Bar25 in Berlin, he has also released on labels like Highgrade, Connaisseur and Upon You records.

Equally alluring, second original track Scarecrow was brought about by AYAWAKE who wrote and recorded the vocals. He generously passed on to Be who honored it as the crown work of his cowboy-tech-tribute to the Ennio Morricone soundtracks of the late 60's. 
Be Svendsen aka Lasse Bruhn Svendsen broke through into the international scene in 2014 with a series of productions and enchanting live performances at some of the most avant garde places to play on the earth, such as BOOM festival, Fusion, Burning Man, Symbiosis, Rainbow Serpent and AfrikaBurn.

The super slick 'Oedipus Complex' is more exquisitely detailed techno with alien sonic motifs, liquid pads and droplets all panning around the supple, meandering groove. It is music to get lost in and builds to a dramatic peak that will have the club enthralled. 

Enjoy the premiere!

Up next on Thawra Records, we are excited to welcome the fiery musical duo Pomme Rouge, with a masterfully crafted EP blending warm and melodic Electronica with groovy minimal house elements. The EP comes with a remix from veteran German sound manipulator and producer Tobi Neumann. 

Stemming from a live music project, Pomme Rouge’s studio process is dominated by an analog performance approach naturally translating from their experience on stage. The pair expertly orchestrates the many hardware machines at hand to achieve engaging and evolving pieces of Electronic music. With this debut outing, the duo offer three original tracks, navigating through lush, warm and groovy soundscapes relying on impeccable and meticulous sound design, recorded and produced during a month-long residency at Riverside Studio in Berlin – after topping The Grand Factory’s Beirut-Berlin Express competition. "Cosmic Crisp" inaugurates the release with a down-tempo, melodic and transportive tune, while "Empire" closes the 3-track saga by shifting into higher gear and delivering a tasteful and groovy minimal house track filled with flavourful melodies, showcasing the pair's equally strong musicianship and knowledge of dance-floor etiquette. Apple
Crumble fits in between and delivers a smooth interlude that completes the story of our duo's first outing. Finally, the cherry on top, Tobi Neumann generously provides a banging up-tempo remix of "Empire", adding more fuel to the fire of an already groovy tune that is sure to energise the laziest of dance-floors.

This is Pomme Rouge's First Bite, and oh what a delicious bite it is.
