El Gato Negro - Different (El Búho Remix)

With this new Botanas, Jiony begins a new stage of his musical career, presenting the alias Brandom Salazar to give life to ideas that travel through the terrain of the Latin sound, but with a unique touch that does not fit conventional labels. In the words of the artist himself: “With these two tracks I want to inaugurate a new cool alias for those ideas that go more towards the side of the Latin sound”.
The EP begins with “Piñata vacía”, a track that moves away from traditional structures and defies rhythmic categorization. It's a modern ballad of sorts, interweaving instruments that evoke Latin rhythms, but with a fusion so free that it's hard to pigeonhole it into a single style. The ambiguity of its rhythm reflects the experimentation and authenticity of Jiony, who has fun playing with the sonic possibilities without worrying about meeting the expectations of the genre.
The second track, “De la que no pica”, has a more defined form and flows along the paths of cumbia, although with a bass that takes some liberties, leading us at times to a flavor closer to salsa. “It's the kind that doesn't sting,” says Jiony, referring to that softer, more accessible salsa, but equally loaded with flavor and energy.

With this Botanas, Jiony invites us to enjoy his most authentic and experimental side, to dance without prejudice and to let ourselves be carried away by the Latin sounds that inspire him, but with a fresh vision that goes beyond the expected. Brandom Salazar has arrived to represent the unexpected, the cool and the irreverent.

Coming in from Messina once again – OP:OP return with their latest sonic exploration: the MUNDI EP.
Rooted in the cultural mosaic of the Mediterranean, Andrea & Alessio channel their surroundings into sound. From the sandstone glow of Sicilian streets to the echoes of ancient empires, MUNDI is a tribute to a world where borders blur and rhythms travel. Driven by hypnotic ethno-dub grooves and analog warmth (say hello to Moog & Juno), OP:OP dive into earthy textures with cabasa, tight stomps and a variety of percussive elements. Their palette also includes electric guitar by Francesco Frudà and vocal fragments that drift like memories.
On the hypnotic title track, OP:OP map a pre-colonial landscape, a place where ancient stories whisper beneath modern machines. “Do You Follow Barà?” strikes with Afrobeat rhythms and horns, paying homage to the royal dances of West Africa and the legacy of Fela Kuti. On “Mesogeios” (Greek for Mediterranean), you’ll drift between the shores of Crete and the Libyan Sea. “Tricky” navigates the inner terrain of fragile emotions, featuring raw, revealing chants by Billy Prince Brown.

Peace Dreams

Playlist for a Free Flow Conscious Dance. The invitation was to explore what beauty means to us, and how it moves us. For me, it is soul-deep, and therefore personal - I sense it as an internal quality of being. And it is often linked to the heart, to love - when we love something or someone, we find it beautiful. 

But to explore further... Do we have certain expectations of how beauty must show up? Or can we find Beauty in spaces/experiences that are not necessarily easy, or do not meet our preconceived expectations? Can we expand our sense of beauty in order to amplify it in a world filled with wars and all kinds of atrocities? Can we cocreate a beautiful world, together?

Pic taken by me on a recent trip to Bali. The island and the warmth of the people, the abundance of nature and the overall sense of devotion filled me with a deep sense of Beauty, which inspired the invitation for this dance.
