Caminho à Sintropia I

Emerging from mountains of fragments
the little gathering of the scatterlings,
a long and winding road,
on the way to Syntropy
travelling through a myriad of possibilities
dispersed matter accumulates into stars
towards an ever unveiling sonic system

A few months back @stas_from_liasufam shared a selection of unreleased tracks with us that blew us away and we couldn't not release something. Hence we are really happy to present two floral, melodic, short and sharp tracks for Botanas number 11. 

Stas is a Budapest based producer who is also head-honcho at Bablyon Records (www.babylonrec.com) and his music is a striking original mix of African, Middle-Eastern, Asian and South-American tribal rhythms, instrumentation and articulation with contemporary electronic music. He also organises the BWOLA tropical bass parties in Budapest.

"For whilst the music will hook your attention, the whistling Venezuelan mythical creature, El Siblón, is waiting in the midst to cast its wicked spell.
Mystical and primeval, “El Loco”, is the latest track to drop from Venezuelan artist Carlos Guillen, better known as https://soundcloud.com/caribombo. The producer/DJ, originally from Maracaibo and now living in the French countryside, released his second album, Camaleón, on 14th April.

Time of Sine represents the positive and negative forces in life, as a producer Atropolis is stuck between acoustic and electronic worlds, the sine wave is what bridges them together for him. One hand, the record is in part a score to this fictional character, Sine, and the journey it goes on. On the other hand, it is related to the up and down motions of this fundamental waveform; each track represents different emotions of these motions. Each feature engages with this movement and reflect upon negative or positive energies that have influenced them. Time of Sine embraces the up's and down's and all the growth influenced by the movements of these forces. Atropolis has spent the past decade teaching music production, releasing music, studying and working with sounds ranging from his own Greek-Cypriot heritage to other diverse musical cultures in Colombia, India, Mexico, Ghana and South Africa. With a degree in music composition and ethnomusicology, Atropolis is Adam’s alter ego that explores international styles of music fused with a diverse range of contemporary electronic genres. Growing up, Adam’s after school jazz program at Queens College greatly influenced his improvisational, compositional, and rhythmic approach to music production. His instructors at Queens College introduced a focused study on Thelonious Monk’s repertoire, which still resonates throughout Adam’s approach to playing his primary instrument, the piano. Parallel to these teenage musical moments, Adam was introduced to composition using Sibelius, and Digital Performer, where Atropolis got his first chops in music production using digital audio workstations. 

His upcoming album, “Time of Sine,” is due on Wonderwheel Recordings in July, 2020.

Gitkin’s music exists somewhere between primal, rootsy memory and distant exotic yearning — A dusty bordertown where the familiar blends imperceptibly into the enchantingly foreign. 

After a long and fruitful run as a bandleader with relentlessly touring party-rockers Pimps Of Joytime and a Grammy-nominated country blues collaboration with Cedric Burnside, multi-instrumentalist Brian J set out to “explore tonalities I’d never messed with,” as he puts it. It was a release from “having to write lyrics or involve my voice,” he notes, and so the (mostly) instrumental sound of Gitkin came into being. 

Reviews of Gitkin’s first LP grappled with descriptors, tagging it vaguely as “cinematic” and comparing it favorably with Khruangbin. True, the music is largely wordless, emotionally evocative, and guitar driven. But it possesses an alluring alchemy all its own. 

Gitkin’s first release, 2018’s well-received Five Star Motel, amply demonstrated his ease with earthy funk and comfortably-cut rhythm. On his new full-length release Safe Passage, the itinerant guitar slinger broadens his already rich palette with melodies informed by Greek and Middle Eastern modalities, Peruvian Chicha and Tuareg Saharan guitar styles. No gimmick, this juxtaposition of gut-bucket blues and funk low-end with unexpectedly twisting lead phrases highlights the intense flavors found in each savory ingredient. 

Recorded at his home studio in New Orleans, Safe Passage showcases a new batch of immediately engaging, repeatedly satisfying cuts, ranging from surf exotica (“Cat Nip”) to raunchy roadhouse stompers (“Fools Gold” and “The Drive”) to dreamy vocal cuts “Foot Steps” and “Hold On” to the floating finale of “Safe Passage.” 

Gitkin’s production radiates character and warmth, leaning on soft-focus vintage mics, dubby spring reverbs and the quirks of an analog tape machine. Further enhancing the intimate vibe are distinguished guests like Carol C (of Si*Sé), who lends her striking voice to three tracks, including the strutting single “De La,” veteran Chauncey Yearwood (congas) and New Orleans local Clifton “Spug” Smith, who provides a sousaphone low-end on the cumbia-not-cumbia “Spug Life.” 

Safe Passage will be released by Wonderwheel on September 18th, 2020 and will be available on vinyl, CD and digitally.

Amsterdam based producer https://soundcloud.com/krautmusica (a.k.a. Daniel Zuur) presents Lilium, following up on his 2016 debut release with https://soundcloud.com/shikashikacollective “Especias”.

On Lilium we see the journey Daniel has made from his first EP, a widening of his horizons and a honing of his unique production style. Each track is at once natural, danceable, warm textured but also electronic and fit for the (virtual) dancefloor.

In his words Lilium, is a sound story about the essence of life without borders. Packed with Daniel’s trademark percussive sound, the EP draws particular inspiration from his love and fascination with Africa’s rich and diverse music tradition.

The stand out track Kalité features the vocals of renowned maloya singer Christine Salem from the Indian Ocean island of La Reunion.
