‘Mi Selva Su Casa' is Shrumate's motto and a perfect title for UNDERGARDEN's first EP.

An invitation to roam freely into the jungle, with hypnotic sounds, warm basslines and tropical percussions.

It's a downtempo EP, all tracks are bellow 100 bpm with an edge and groove that makes you dance or (at the very least) move your head along.

All tracks composed, mixed and produced by Shrumate

Track 3 "Nanita" featuring vocals by Mona Mojo

Mastering by LM at Ohxala Records Studio

Special Thanks to Carolina Bessa, Francisca Siza, Ilídio Filipe Dias, Rui Fradinho, Gonçalo Mendonça, Pedro Sousa and Francisco Melo for all the support and motivation over the last 2 years.

Shrumate - Nanita

Shrumate - Murucumba Deli

We challenged some of our favourite producers to Remix the Tracks from our first EP "Mi Selva Su Casa"

The results are amazing!

5 great remixes from different corners of the World with a smashing club edge.

We couldn't be happier with their work.

It feels like our "Undergarden" gets greener as each day goes by.

"Proverbial Microbial" is a small collection of purple concepts created during the early days of the Covid-19 quarantine. The idea is to give the music a real physical and historical significance by connecting it with the past and bringing it full circle to the present. Taking two specific historical events that occurred in the past century, connecting those with our current 2020 situation, and finally translating it into music, the result comes out as the Proverbial Microbial, that molecular enemy (or friend) that we all fight against and ultimately adapt to.''

Mata Bicho is a satire in the form of a deep industrial slow banger. Inspired by the proverbial purple grandfather, José Maria Lopes, whose illustrious voice you hear throughout the track, the Mata Bicho (translated roughly from Portuguese as ‘'bug killer'') was a very common practice during my grandfathers youth, where men and women, at a time where there was very little to no access to dental hygiene, would drink homemade liquor in the morning to clean their mouth and teeth before heading to the fields to work. Also mentioned are the ‘'sopas de cavalo cansado'' or ‘'tired horse soups,'' a breakfast served specially to tired children that consisted of a soup made of bread, wine and sugar, done so the children would feel ‘'energized'' as they went to work long hours in the fields. It was well known at the time that alcohol was an effective way to combat fatigue and the ‘'bicho,'' but the side effects of daily alcohol consumption would only be felt years later, resulting in rampant alcoholism and health problems.

Mauveine Fever is a faster, funky arpeggio driven track. The title is a reference to a period in 19th century European history where one of the worlds first synthetic dyes was discovered by accident in 1856 by British chemist William Henry Perkin when he attempted to synthesise a cure for malaria. The colour purple had, up until then, only been accessible to those in the upper echelons of society, due to its long, arduous and costly procedure of obtaining a purple dye through natural means, but that changed with the discovery of the synthetic dye. Originally called aniline purple, Perkin's mauve quickly went into mass production and became a must have in the fashion world, at one point being so incredibly popular that a magazine called women wearing the colour ‘'migrating birds of purple paradise.''

In addition you can find two remixes, both from label bosses and veterans. Shrumate from Undergarden retouches Mata Bicho, and Gerra G from GATOPARDØ gives his own spin of Mauveine Fever. To close this Proverbial adventure, Tempura rethinks Mata Bicho as an ambient piece, featuring the poetry of friend and vocalist Yuri Wetink.

UNDERGARDEN was born from the symbiotic relation between Nature and the human necessity of new social and artistic movements - the underground. 
With this recipe was born an Underground Garden, where flowers blossom following the beat and the grass gets greener as each track goes by.
A garden where life always moves forward, where the flora grows in crescendo and the gardeners become the fauna, growing wilder and wilder as time goes by. 
The idea of a whole vanishes and becomes a singularity.
