„Nanu?“ – this little interjection in the German language expresses wonder, surprise and a curiosity for what has just been presented to you. It playfully resembles the title of our release „nanou“, produced by Zurich based trio @ali_dada, whose dreamy and unwinding music has indeed aroused our curiosity, surprised us, made us wonder and keen to dive deeper into their world of soothing soundscapes.

This EP may be seen as a soundtrack for moments in which you feel free from capitalist tension. Catching up on Jenny Odell‘s advice in „How to do nothing - Resisting the Attention Economy“, the mood of the songs may be a dedication to the idea of #NOMO – „the necessity of missing out“. An opposition to the overstimulation of our everyday life: „This idea of doing nothing is trying to give permission to have some emptiness.” We affirmatively embrace this idea as an invitation to pause, recline and laze while listening to those 4 calming songs. It‘s the assent to an idle that has facilitated the realization of this EP for ali dada. Obligation-free time opened up spaces for ideas and sketches to flourish. „zwueschetag“, as a „day in between“ originated in the beginning of the pandemic and describes a tool for ali dada to handle the uncertainties of a life without stability. „345“ is the street number of an off-space (www.345off.space), where the trio has recorded and produced their music, and which provides a vibe that allows them to engage optimistically in these fickle times of live.
In ali dada‘s productions you‘ll ever find a playful combination of elements from various, rather distant genres. References to experimental ambient vibes meet the love for jazzy, psychedelic guitars and warm, mellow hip-hop beats. In extended jam sessions they reflect on how the sounds feel to them and how they actually want the listener to feel. And indeed you seem guided – to slow down, linger and listen carefully. As the 3 musicians are sensible for imperfections and glitches you often can hear tiny, subtle elements, such as snippets or field recordings in the background. It‘s these little acoustic surprises that expand the space for dreaming and shape a cosmos in which you want to close your eyes and drift away in airy realms or sparkling beach water.

The One I Love

Suelo

Says the legend that on an eclipse ocasion, both guarani and inca people threw a big party to daze the Celestial Ounce (Xivi), because they believe that the end of the world would happen when she gobbles the Moon and Sun brothers, then the Earth falls thus in the fullest darkness. Just as Xivi, Raru is the hindu demon followed by a tiger that also tries to voraciously swallow the stars, causing the eclipses. Like these, countless ancestral myths around the world explain this phenomenon; for the Pomo people there is a fight between the Bear and the Sun, and for the Tlingit it is the moment of stealthy darkness for the Moon and the Sun to love each other.

Welcome traveller!

We've seen it coming... Summer is slowly fading, but there is yet some precious sunlight to grab!
A long time in the process and still perfectly on schedule arrives our latest installment to melodize the change of seasons and to soothe summers send-off into the southern parts.

It was once foretold, a long time family member by the name of @g-a-t-s would come to the light and bring with him a bundle of sounds, gathered on his quests, begotten with close accomplices. 

The melancholicly beautiful "Schicksalsmelodie" is finally caught in the moment and ready to be unleashed into its future.
 
On "Cabo Verde" GATS got his @yelagua band members @lagoonsvoice and @tmplsound on board to sail around the shores and get lost in the siren calls.

And then third original "Christian Acid", instrumentally supported by Russian slowburner Donev, may guide you to spiritual freedom, or just take you on a ride. Might be up to you, i guess.

And what would all this frenzy be about, if we didn't have two fine remodels to go with it, thought of and conceived by the voodoolicious Ibu Selva and the irresistible Tofu Resistance, heading straight towards the dancefloors.

Visualized with a sweet handcrafted artwork by VOLA and mastered with Tilmann's ears (@haunted_water).

So, up with that volume and follow your destiny.

Love,

se Drosssels

GATS — Cabo Verde feat. Lagoon & tmpl

May the winds of change breath new life into our daily action.
May we connect with the essence of what resonates within
and not get caught up on semantics.
May we channel our energy into what is essential to our being,
Taking inspiration in the delicate forces of nature,
May we channel it into all that is vital.
May loving kindness be the vehicle,
And may it know no bounds.

To cultivate Inner Smile
and ripple back out in all directions...

First things first: Please consider donating, all earnings will go to humanitarian help.

Feliz navidad again. It's Music Lovers Club numero dos. After last year's edition and a lot of donations we decided to make the transition from a quick idea to a hopefully lasting and recurring glimpse of better days. All proceedings of all MLCs will be collected and forwarded to projects with a humanitarian focus every 6 months. There will be no earnings or hidden costs, it's basically one to one after bandcamp's fee. We'll keep you posted and updated regularly.

Many, many thanks to all artists involved, Cornelius Vogel, Kompakt, DigDis and Salz Mastering for the noble support.
