Systema Naturae is the first compilation of 012. It is inspired and takes the name from one of the major works of the Swedish botanist, zoologist and physician Carl Linnaeus dating back to 1735 which broadly describes the hierarchical classification of the natural world. The series consists of three parts, each containing 4 tracks, where several artists are invited to recreate with sounds a deep reconnection with nature. Original artworks by Ciredz.

All tracks are written and produced by the respective artists. Mastered at Artefacts Mastering Studio. Distributed by Space Cadets / SRD.

Out on 12" and digital, February 2022.

"On his visit to Kinshasa James Brown dubbed him *Mister Dynamite*"  

It has been a struggle to lay hands on Verckys, although the man doesn´t go unnoticed. Notorious for being one of Congo´s most ruthless business men, the legendary musician had build a whole imperium in Kinshasa, the capital city of the central african power house (arguably one of the toughest places in the world) and has a whole building with his name, in the very heart of the city.

So I travelled to the Congo in June of 2013 to find Verckys only to find out that he headed in opposite direction to sort out his health issues. But I did meet his manager who gave me his phone number, so I called:  "Oh Monsieur Samy, we need to met, lets talk business", he said, probably not knowing that I was an independent record label, with all it represents.  But the more I spoke to the men the more I realised that he was genuinely interested in music more then anything else. The following message I received few weeks ago, confirmed my feeling:

"Samy, I am writing to you because I´m a little worried. I´ve been thinking about your selection and I now wonder if your compilation will do well due to the fact that the chosen songs had little impact in Kinshasa. Others had much more success"

I was surprised but pleased to see that he cared about the project although I had already paid him in full. But why wouldn't he? Its his music after all.

"Most of the songs you´ve selected were recorded in Nairobi, for the Kenyan market. These songs did very well there, also in Zambia, but here in the Congo they flopped...except for "Ya Nini", that was a monster hit. Still, I am very surprised you´ve mentioned it has become a legendary track in Colombia, positively surprised"

This compilation was supposed to be released in October as a limited edition of 2000 copies, but after a few Skype chats with Verckys, seeing that he has come to terms with his health issues, and pushing for a European tour come next summer, we´ve decided to release this as Analog Africa No.17 which is now going to see light of day first week of December. 

In the mean time enjoy this incredible slice of "Congolese AfroFunk", probably one of the best coming out of the continent. "Cheka Sana" has become one of the most sought after 7inch singles around (the B side is killer as well). Collectors and diggers offering crazy sums for it (I don't even dare to mention the sum here). It deserves to be heard by more then just a handful....and it should set fire to many dancefloors around the globe.

Be so kind and leave a comment in the soundcloud. I will forward all of them to Verckys himself as an encouragements to come back stronger !!! 
Thank you for reading.

𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐄𝐑𝐄 | Sepian - Abyssus Noctis [Aurora Mística]

you’re waiting for a train that might never come. the air hums with sleep and something older. you stand between what’s real and what remembers you. places unfold in your head like old film burning through the reel. you can’t tell how long it’s been. the rails keep singing soft and low like they know your name. you think you know where it goes but maybe that’s another dream. time bends here it forgets itself. still you wait. the fog moves like breath. something out there is calling but it sounds more like a memory than a voice. maybe it’s not about the end anymore. maybe it’s just the waiting. the hum. the small faith that you’re still moving.

DeeperDream!

Pure ethereal ambient soundscapes. Chillout, relax and enjoy!
