Shika Shika presents our new Botanas by MAUGLI, an artist we have had on our radars and playlists for a while due to his really unique production style and sound. Somewhere between hip-hop, very skilled cut and paste sampling and crisp production. With this Botanas he doesn't disappoint with two absolutely delicious cuts of his signature style.

In MAUGLI's own words:

Trouble Feat. Flolento
'First track 'Trouble' is a collaboration with Eigenklang member Flolento on the clarinet and was originally inspired by the notorious 'Six Boys in Trouble. In the early 1950s a group of kids from housing projects jammed on homemade percussion and sang along with it. With a ton of soul and the first signs of something resembling rap flows (in the 50s!!!) the recordings spark pure joy to me. At some point the sample flew out and ended up on another song and then I asked Flolento and his clarinet to jump in to contrast the pouring wet guitarlicks - chop choppidy, chop and the jam was ready to be served.

Kiliman
Kiliman was inspired by a PVC tube jam and sung poetry from Harak and various Brao groups of Southern Laos. What struck me first was the laid back vibe that came across the recordings. A perfect base to garn with raw drums and pure sine waves for some serious sweaty, booty shaking. There are super secret undercover hints to the original samples sprinkled in there as well to other quotes in this collaged piece of music.

Episode I definitely reflects how I feel about this current moment in time.

============= About Visionquest ============= 
I'm a scientist at heart, but music is the closest to thing to magic that I've found. It's been said a million times before but in the flow state you really do feel like a conduit through which the inspiration and ideas pass, rather than the source. One sound leads to the next, like there's no other choice. Like the unfurling of a fractal. My purpose is to become good enough at the craft that I hear what arises out of the ether and use the right brushes and palette as I try to capture it. 

Visionquest is a voyage through sound with no known destination. I'll try to get out of the way and let whatever is meant to happen just happen. I'm releasing one each month (two episodes to start things in motion today). I've no idea where this is going but I wanted to take everyone along for the ride. 

Come with us on a journey...

Visionquest - Episode II (Purple Dawn)

HM Surf gained fame after collaborating with artists such as Doja Cat or Obijuan. The instrumentals of the Norwegian producer rely on a pacifying beat and lo-fi hip hop touch as shows his track ‘honda’, part of Hip Dozer’s new Midnight Glow compilation. The song is perfect for staring at the blissful moonlight and snuggling up thanks to its soft guitar strumming and chords, an enveloping lullaby.

Velvet Rope Crowd Control is a collaboration project between Bryan Hilyard and Andrew J Klimek.

For years we had discussed post-rock and neo-classical collaborations, but this guitar-loop experiment fell into our laps first. Andrew (finally) bought some guitar pedals during lockdown in spring 2020 and recorded a few test riffs. Some time later, Bryan picked through a folder of these and started sampling & morphing them into drones. We both really dug the result and listened to them off and on for the next year. Finally in late 2021, Andrew added new layers and additional processing.
New Years Eve, we each made a beat-driven remix, hoping to release the album at the stroke of mid-night. We couldn't quite pull if off, so the project sat a little longer. In the mean time we were lucky enough to get 2 reworks by Agus aka Warmth.

Recent global events definitely influencing this ViSIONQUEST episode (from March 2022). The music that came out during this month feels defiant. Even the engineering is brash. I make no excuses.

This one is for all those who risk everything for the freedom of others.

Visionquest - Episode V (The Final Analysis)

Something made after a looong time. I've been very busy and unable to create new things, but, here's the first of (hopefully) many. Enjoy!

It seems that an Indian composer named TANISHK BAGCHI used my song to soundtrack a series for Amazon India, adding vocals and other instruments on top but without making any reference to me or my Soundcloud.

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrIe5Ap1MzA

Beyond the publicity that can be done to me, what annoys me is the shamelessness of big corporations and big artists who without any qualms copy/plagiarize the work of smaller artists and make it their own in the public eye. Probably for them that piece of music is just one more commercial element to add to a marketing campaign, but for me, who don't have the resources they have, every song is special and has a meaning.

Obviously I can't do anything, I'm just a speck of dust for Amazon or someone like Tanishk, but at least I want to leave the message of how unfair the industry is sometimes to the small producer. And for me making music is a hobby that I do from time to time, but for those people who want to work from this, this situation can't be.

Thanks to all of you who have shown your love and affection for my songs. And to all of you who are starting in this world and want to make a living out of it, good luck and strength.

I have decided to donate all earnings from this work to a great charity called the 'Movember Foundation'. For those who are unaware, the charity  tackles men's health on a global scale, addressing some of the biggest health issues faced by men: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health and suicide prevention.

I have set the lower limit at £1.00 only because Bandcamp deduct a certain amount for processing and revenue. However feel free to donate more if you want. Paying £1 for the track will mean approximately £0.73 will go to the charity. I will donate every single pence from the track to the charity, and have also decided to donate all the money I have ever earned on Bandcamp to the Movember Foundation. 

By 2030 the charity aim to reduce the number of men dying prematurely by 25%. If you have any money to spare, no matter how little, join the movement and help stop men dying too young. 

Thank you!
