Premiere: Granite Mask aterriza en Urban Legend Records con su nuevo EP 'Before the Storm'. El EP se creó durante los días pesados y oscuros de la pandemia de COVID -19. Hacer este EP se convirtió en una forma de ver la luz al final del túnel durante estos tiempos sombríos, un mecanismo de supervivencia, un vehículo para la creatividad y la reconexión con uno mismo.
En el centro de este trabajo está la idea de centrarnos en las cosas que nos apasionan y adaptarnos a situaciones difíciles.
El EP consta de 4 pistas muy enérgicas y vanguardistas con texturas industriales y de baja fidelidad, ritmos rotos y líneas de sintetizador provocativas. El resultado ilustra el contraste entre la lucha de las condiciones externas y la paz interna generada por la música y la expresión artística.

live excerpt

Frecuencias Ancestrales is an audiovisual exploration of the sounds of the ancestral cultures of Mexico by the musician /beyond/, the filmmaker Pedro Maia and the pre-Hispanic multi-instrumentalist Óscar Carrillo, who in a joint creative process seek symbiosis and synergy between the music of ancient rituals and the repetitive rhythms adopted by various currents of avant-garde music. 

The Live AV was shot in Mexico in analog format with a super 8 camera, with scenes of ceremonies that reflect the cultural, socio-historical and folkloric factors and traces that can still be found in Mexico today.

KOOL SWITCH WORKS 「KSW MIX & SHAKE」W SEKIS & DIKE (ONEDAY RECS.) - 30/11/2023

Bedouin Records w/ Wará - 01/12/2023

Luna verde inhala los ritmos y murmullos que se escuchan diariamente en las calles del Raval, carismatico barrio barcelones plagado de zocos ,bazares y peluquerias arabes ,un lugar donde Fran Mora convive hace 13 anos y experimenta un reencuentro con sus raices árabes. Cautivado por su armonia entre culturas, su libertad y capacidad de inspiracion, el EP nace de los estimulos del dia a dia y el respeto a una comunidad incomprendida, un nuevo concepto llamado WARA ́, para expresar todos estos sentimientos.
