“A record label is made of collaborators and friends”

This was one of my first thoughts when starting a record label. So, naturally, the upcoming release is a very exciting one for me. Amatteuur  is the newest project of Fabiano Fonseca. And this man is a great deal for me. To make you understand how I feel about this release, I will have to take you back to 1994. I had recently moved from Chile to Belo Horizonte, Brazil. It’s actually a pretty interesting town, over 3 million people with a layered city centre which was planned in the early 20 century. Outside of the city centre it expanded randomly.. Architecture and urbanism aside… or not really, there was a record store called “Urban Cave”.

If you are younger than 30, probably you don’t understand the thrill of a record store the way we did back then. If you were a nerd, like myself, that is. You would read on a magazine or a rare occasion an article on modem internet (which would take ages to load) about a record… if you were lucky you could listen to it at the shop, if not, you would have to order it. Good luck finding a record store with a decent catalogue, especially down in South America. But hey! there was one right next to my high school. And there was a cool young chap involved in all of this: Fabiano. They also had a film renting place with cool alternative movies. Honestly, it was the place to go after school or even at lunch break. In this great place I heard for the first time Sonic Youth, Pavement, Stereolab, Chemical Brothers and Krautrock and so much more!

Years later the store closed. But the memories of those afternoons after school inebriating myself with music will last forever.  And years later indeed Fabiano came back yet again as such cool inspiration while he was one of the members of Belo Horizonte’s own Digitaria in the early 2000s.  They had just released with Gigolo records and were coming back from a European tour.  Just in time when I was getting into dance music and raving: I saw them live. It was ecstatic.  I remember watching Fabiano smashing those drum machines with such fervour, creating a truly intense performance which inspired me to pursue my dance music projects and made me hope I could, one day, who knows, collaborate with him.

Needless to say I am stoked to have him in HOONOH’s catalogue with his newest single “Strictly Naked”. We’ve been carrying out talks about this release for a while and finally came out.
I hope you love it as much as I do.

Amatteuur - Strictly Naked

Lyrics:

Oh I miss you
So predictable
Judgemental
all I ask for
Is forgiveness
unessential
experimental
I see potential 

I mostly run from whatever
I’m only calm in certain weather
But I’m happy whatever you say to me
I’m happy whatever you say to me

Make sense of this
Spree of lies 
I’m tied up with 
Your choices
Won’t be with you
So elemental 
Coincidental
Experimental

I mostly run from whatever
I’m only calm in certain weather
But I’m happy whatever you say to me
I’m happy whatever you say to me

Do you want me to go
Do you want me to
Do you want me to go
Do you want me to
  
all I ask for
Is forgiveness
unessential
experimental

I mostly run from whatever
I’m only calm in certain weather
but I’m happy whatever you say to me
I’m happy whatever you say

I mostly run from whatever
I’m only calm in certain weather
but I’m happy whatever you say to me
I’m happy whatever you say to me
I’m happy whatever you say to me

Whatever You Say To Me

Lyrics: 
Ventilation
I won't know how you feel until you say sum'n
Air it out, too loud, I know, that sweet sensation
My sweet temptation,
Ventilation
You don't come 'round no more, who took my place, huh?
Clean out your mind, I fuck with that 
It's up to you, we can go back
To smoking with the windows cracked

I ain't crying, I'm just focused
Don't be worried, I ain't crying you no ocean
Peep the story you could never tell I'm hopeless
Til you open up, I'm smokin' through the motions
I'm just sorry I ain't give what you wanted
But I ain't sorry for the things that I can't change 
Been the same damn nigga since the day you fucking came 

I think I love you, give me one more chance 
To make it right, now baby don't hold in
You need some 

Ventilation
I won't know how you feel until you say sum'n
Air it out, too loud, I know, that sweet sensation
My sweet temptation
Ventilation
You don't come 'round no more, who took my place, huh?
Clean out your mind, I fuck with that 
It's up to you, we can go back
To smoking with the windows cracked

Find a way 
Please don't fly away 
I won't try to stay
'Less it's my way, baby find a way,
Find a way to speak honestly 
Why you tryna be 
Hard to see 
Crack your window 
Ventilate to me, yeah

And if you down to give me one more chance 
To make it right, baby I won't hold in
I need some 

Ventilation (x6)
