At Shika Shika we are delighted to present ATALAYA, new project by SPEC co-founder of Matanza, and Chilean singer-songwriter FERNANDO MILAGROS.
In their own words, ATALAYA delves into a glocal (global+local) sound, inspired by acoustic instruments, roots rhythms and vocals, all filtered through available technology, to shape a sonic and rhythmic experience.

 Their debut EP "La Sed" features 4 tracks that undoubtedly surprise, through new rhythmic explorations and the power to transform folk-spirited songs into deep danceable tracks.

Joaquín Cornejo - Wei (feat. Hermanito, Pete Beardsworth & Felipe Cornejo)

'Mirage' is a journey into the psyche of a man lost in a desert. Almost losing his mind, he continuously recollects himself in order to keep going. The song features prominent synthesizer melodies, a new sonic element which provides a glimpse into BABON’s future explorations. BABON’s hip-hop influence comes through in the song’s verses. Reverb drenched guitars and an emotional solo expresses the character’s inner turmoil as he navigates an expansive landscape.

Solsticio de Luna Llena - Live Set

Fulani features chants from the Fulani (Fulbe) people, closer from the Wodaabe tribe from Nigeria, that still nowadays lives as nomadic cattle sheperds. 

Hadza features a stringed bow and some occasional vocals from the Hadza people from Tanzania. The Hadza, who live as hunters and gatherers until today, hunt mainly with bows and arrows, as seen on the cover. The bow which they use for killing can be used as a musical bow aswell, played with the mouth or a stick. In this archaic form, it belongs to the oldest musical instruments in known history. In this case a resonator has been added, probably a calabash, to make the bow resonate louder.

The two tracks come from a series which’s work titles where “Stur”, “Stur2” and “Stur3”, which resemble the way of producing quite well: smacking drums, a dirty sample and a simple sinewave subbass. This rough and reduced way of producing led me to this very dry and abstract songs, which I feel have and strong, present and livley drive.

The name Djouma was inspired by a sample in the mentioned third track which is not on the EP, but appears to be a male firstname. So at this point: shout out to all them Djoumas out there! Y'all have a cool name!

Nicola Cruz re-visits his second album 'Siku', released earlier this year to widespread acclaim, with ‘Siku Reworks’. The release provides the listener with another perspective on the ‘Siku’ domain, one envisioned in different corners of the world; Argentina, the UK, and Japan to name a few.  In an effort to unlink the original material, Cruz has selected producers to re-work a designated song on 'Siku' according to their own style. Additionally, Cruz has chosen to re-record two tracks whose live versions have stuck with him throughout a year of constant touring.

   ‘Siku Reworks’ invokes a psychedelic view of the original material, Hermetics (R&S) provides deep atmospherics with his take on 'Obsidiana' and Nicola offers an acid-merengue-infused live version of 'Señor de las Piedras' alongside an infectious and club-ready re-work of live favourite 'Siete'. In some ways it's hard to define Nicola's sound, shaped by years of global touring, and every track here is unique and succeeds in breaking from the usual electronic music format in captivating fashion.
