Gatupreto, enigmatic duo, hiding their identity while exploring the common ground between an idealized African feeling and the classic references of the dance movement from the 80's and 90's. The art Gatupreto generates is simple, unpretentious and sincere, it owes to the classic rave vibe as much as to the rawness of hip hop… as much to the sunset of Cape Verde as to the sunrise of the Lisbon riverside. 
Gatupreto is a binomial entity that refers to itself as one, it was rescued from anonymity by TINK! Music, newly founded label split between Amsterdam and Lisbon. To the extend of most people's knowledge, Gatupreto comes from a colorful Lisbon suburb where they inhabit a luxurious house, on an isolated hill where music is made every day.
Those who have seen them perform live say they are frenetic and deep in their sound. At night all cats are black.

Guxi - Sex Synth EP

TINK! Music welcomes Guxi its first Japanese solo artist and Osaka's master of hypnodisco. By pairing classic Roland machines with Linn beat boxes and many other pieces of historical audio equipment, Guxi delivers an exploration of mantric grooves, repeating elegantly through mid tempo patterns, perfect from 3 a.m. to eternity.
The title track "Sex Synth" has three different versions: the Original Mix, eleven minute long excursion of pleasure, the trance-inducing psychedelic "Kimotii Dub" and the self evident "Deep Acid Dub" where the 303 takes the lead of the groove for a darker setting. 
"Egypt in Japan" has Guxi tweaking further into outer space, evoking memories of deserts and bonsai trees with an epic 10 minute ride through the farthest reaches of perception and womblike warmth. 
Perfect for anyone who, like us, is a fan of early Warp material, of Aphex Twin, The Orb, Coldcut and also classic balearic disco synth vibes, Guxi's "Sex Synth" is impossible to miss on TINK! Music - a label that prides on content over any specific style or trend!

Daino - Galactic EP
#TINKMSC011
2016, TINK! Music, All Rights Reserved
Release on 22/03/2016

Lisbon based keyboardist and jazzman João Costa is best known in the electronic music circle as Daino. Under this name, Costa now advances onto his third solo EP, after an acclaimed debut on Berlin label Blossom Kollektiv a few years ago and a follow up “Without Your Love” on TINK! Music.
The artist's third instalment is named “Galactic” and the music included has been tried and tested over the course of 2015 on many live performances and dj sets. The three tracks complete a set of works that revolve around futurism, soulful electronics and spacial suggestions.
“Eternity” proposes a beautiful deep mood, made of smart beats, echoed chords and padded harmonies. Smart up-to-date soul techno, as moody and sweet as anything out of Ferox or Peacefrog in the nineties… truly great stuff.
“Afterlife" is trademark Daino sound, a slower deep electronic house vibe with smart production. Thick bass line, clicky funk and rattling rhythms over broken and swingy beats, pierced by jazzy dub chords and driving string arrangements, evocative of the finest compositions of the genre. Futuristic and ever evolving, a clear manifesto of ambitious scope.
Finally, “Flux” goes for the jugular… an impressive Detroitesque exercise, in which the lessons of the legendary Underground Resistance posse have proved very well studied. There’s pure analog funk on the bass, punched by snappy beats and extreme emotion on the piano's staccato chords, evolving onto an ecstasy laden breakdown that reveals gospel like vocals and a Jean Michel Jarre style lead melody… it hints at the words “future classic”. Don’t miss out on Daino’s incredible stuff on TINK! Music, third time is a charm!

[TINKMSC010] - Gatupreto "Distino Di Nos Vida"

Gatupreto release their sophomore "Distino Di Nos Vida" on TINK! Music! The duo from Lisbon's hinterland return with a second round of their impeccable, futuristic theory on modern club music after the acclaimed "Modo Di Trabadja" EP, released in 2015. The tropical taste of Cabo Verde, the cool of that Lisbon dance floor fusionism, the appeal of classic vibes. Tracks too dark and twisted to be called "Afro", too sexy and melodic to be called "Techno", too smart and freaky to be called "House" and too cool and mature to be called "Kuduro", it is simply Gatupreto.
On the A side "I Became Me", deep afro dub with a killer sub bass and endless echoes, starring Portuguese soul and hip hop legend NBC as guest vocalist and a remix by afro Dutch master and fellow TINK! artist Philou Louzolo - who turns "I Became Me" into an irresistible deep house with african undertones. 
On the flip side, the dark dramatic stomping tracks "Afrowerk" and "Gatu Di Noti", the first an eerie, irresistible peak time banger, and the later a stormer with sounds from natural Africa, harpy acid lines and an off kilter beat.

Music company, record label and event organisation from Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Lisbon, Portugal.

In the closing moments of the glorious decade known as the eighties, an idea took shape in misty Amsterdam… it's name was TINK! Records: one of the first electronic music labels to be set up in Holland, pioneer of the Garage and House sound. TINK! operated out of a recording studio called Portland and released more than two dozen records!
From the legacy of TINK! Records came in 2009, a second generation label, Tomorrow Is Now, Kid!  set up by father Joseph Salvador and son Alex Salvador. While Alex now runs Tomorrow Is Now Kid!, Joseph picked up where TINK! Records left off and started a new chapter in 2014 and named it TINK! Music. 
With offices and a studio in Amsterdam and in Lisbon the companies operate from two of Europe's most exciting cities of the moment.
