Folk (reinvented)

Rather than referring to the ten protruding appendages on the end of your feet, the “toé”, with an acute accent on the “e”, under which the producer, researcher and DJ Mr. Toé works, is a plant allegedly of the divine type. Taking the name of a plant which is used as an hallucinogen by Amazonian shamans, the expatriate Chilean (now taken root in Colombia) makes “electronic music of the jungle”. An organic fusion of ancestral Afro- and Amerindian-Latin culture, Mr. Toé’s enchanting compositions centre around the sharing and experience of Latin American heritage, considering the “symbiosis of African and Spanish music” which blends to make something uniquely Latinx.

“This session, or ritual, aims to transport us to that mysterious America. Always fighting, through the hand of ancestral and futuristic sounds, it has the objective of generating a hybrid trance that projects us and reconnects us with the forces of mother earth and the cosmos.”

En lugar de referirse a los diez apéndices que sobresalen al final de sus pies, el "toé", con un acento agudo en la "e", bajo el cual trabaja el productor, investigador y DJ Sr. Toé , es una planta supuestamente de lo divino. tipo. Tomando el nombre de una planta que es utilizada como alucinógeno por los chamanes amazónicos, el expatriado chileno (ahora radicado en Colombia) hace “música electrónica de la selva”. Una fusión orgánica de la cultura ancestral afro y amerindio-latina, las encantadoras composiciones del Sr. Toé se centran en el intercambio y la experiencia de la herencia latinoamericana, considerando la “simbiosis de la música africana y española” que se combinan para hacer algo exclusivamente latino.

“Esta sesión, o ritual, tiene como objetivo transportarnos a esa misteriosa América. Siempre luchando, de la mano de sonidos ancestrales y futuristas, tiene el objetivo de generar un trance híbrido que nos proyecte y reconecte con las fuerzas de la madre tierra y el cosmos ”.

After the major success of their debut "Silt" album, Wonderwheel Recordings have enlisted the help of some of our favorite producers from across the electronic spectrum to take a crack at the unique East African Retro Pop of Sudanese American chanteuse Alsarah and her band the Nubatones. 

Argentinian laptop mystic Chancha Via Circuito brings "Fugu" into the rainforest with his deep and folkloric take on the tune, while Captain Planet brings "Wad Alnuba" into deep, late night slo-mo Disco Dabke territory. Africa is represented on "Silt Remixed" by both Central African Republic's Boddhi Satva and Cape Verdean/Angolan producer DJeff, who both properly represent the wildly popular Deep House scene in the motherland with their refixes. Sorceress producer Issac Aesilli takes "Bilal Al Dahab" into melancholy, abstract electronic territory while KCRW DJ and LA fixture Jeremy Sole gives a tasteful, classy beat driven remix of "Habibi Taal" with help from Clap! Clap! and Beats Antique. Lastly, Wonderwheel label boss Nickodemus turns "Rennat" into a hypnotic, driving four to the floor filler, while labelmate The Spy From Cairo goes straight for the jugular with his dubby dancehall version of "Nouba Noutou"

Alsarah, is a Sudanese born singer, songwriter and ethnomusicologist. Born in the capital city of Khartoum, where she spent the first 8 years of her life, she relocated to Taez, Yemen with her family to escape the ever stifling regime in her native country. She abruptly moved to the US in 1994, when a brief civil war broke out in Yemen. Now residing in Brooklyn, NY, she is a self-proclaimed practitioner of East-African retro-pop. Working on various projects, she most recently has been working with The Nile Project and was featured on their debut release, Aswan (named 1 of the Top 5 “Must Hear” international albums by NPR). She has also collaborated with French producer Débruit on the album Aljwal, released this past November via Soundway Records UK.

Magie des paysages

Le Feu du ciel " - Les Orientales (1829) 
Poème écrit par "Victor Hugo"


L'Égypte ! - Elle étalait, toute blonde d'épis,
Ses champs, bariolés comme un riche tapis,
Plaines que des plaines prolongent ;
L'eau vaste et froide au nord, au sud le sable ardent
Se disputent l'Égypte ; elle rit cependant
Entre ces deux qui la rongent 

Trois monts* bâtis par l'homme au loin perçaient les cieux
D'un triple angle de marbre, et dérobaient aux yeux
Leurs bases de cendre inondées ;
Et, de leur faîte* aigu jusqu'aux sables dorés,
Allaient s'élargissant leurs monstrueux degrés,
Faits pour des pas de six coudées*.

Un sphinx de granit rose, un dieu de marbre vert,
Les gardaient, sans qu'il fût vent de flamme au désert
Qui leur fît baisser la paupière.
Des vaisseaux au flanc large entraient dans un grand port.
Une ville géante*, assise sur le bord,
Baignait dans l'eau ses pieds de pierre.

On entendait mugir le semoun* meurtrier,
Et sur les cailloux blancs les écailles crier
Sous le ventre des crocodiles.
Les obélisques gris s'élançaient d'un seul jet.
Comme une peau de tigre, au couchant s'allongeait
Le Nil jaune, tacheté d'îles.

L'astre-roi* se couchait. Calme, à l'abri du vent,
La mer réfléchissait ce globe d'or vivant,
Ce monde, âme et flambeau du nôtre ;
Et dans le ciel rougeâtre et dans les flots vermeils,
Comme deux rois amis, on voyait deux soleils
Venir au-devant l'un de l'autre.
