One of my absolute favorite tracks! Just played it out and everyone loved it so much. Why be afraid of the little farmers? Thank you! And thank you Marvin Pontiac - will check out the orginial.

The track "Small Car" by chöko aba & M.RUX traces its origins back to the original song of the same name by Marvin Pontiac, the alter ego of John Lurie, featured on the 1999 album The Legendary Marvin Pontiac, Greatest Hits. This album stands out for its fresh, humorous, and charismatic storytelling, seamlessly blending jazz, blues, minimal jazz, funk, and world music, all enhanced by hypnotic, repetitive elements.
Initially, chöko aba began working on a short version of "Small Car" on his own. When M.RUX heard this early sketch, he instantly fell in love with it and asked for a copy. Sensing the potential for something more expansive, chöko  invited M.RUX to collaborate on the project, and together, they set out to create a more extensive version.
What began as a simple edit evolved into a creative reinterpretation. Perhaps inspired by the playful and enigmatic spirit of Marvin Pontiac, or driven by the technical challenges of reworking the original, the duo took the track in a new direction. The final piece features Morgan Freeman as a somewhat unreliable AI speech generator, narrating the whimsical tale of small farmers venturing out to explore the world in their makeshift tin-can cars.
chöko aba & M.RUX filled this world with their distinctive blend of Dub, DownTempo, and obscure sounds, while retaining the original's quirky genius and the chants of the small farmers. The result is an imaginative departure from the source material, yet it remains true to the spirit of Marvin Pontiac.

"Under A Masonic Moon" is a genre-bending space shanty that blurs the line between 'real' life and allegory, using music as a vessel to explore the unexplored. The lyrics unfold like a cryptic confession, weaving together distorted radio transmissions, cinematic references, and cryptic whispers of hidden truth. At its core, the song posits that Stanley Kubrick, the visionary director, orchestrated the Apollo moon landing’s infamous deception—his meticulous eye for detail transforming a barren soundstage into the greatest masquerade in human history - to prevent war.

The verses dance between speculation and certainty, suggesting that Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey was a rehearsal, a technological proof of concept for NASA.

Lush orchestration and swirling FX give way to a creeping sense of unease, as the chorus repeats: "Where symbols dance and plans advance." The bridge, steeped in psychedelic dissonance, embodies Kubrick’s supposed torment—an artist trapped in a cosmic lie too grand to escape.

Yet, the song isn’t just about the speculation; it is about the power of music to describe the indescribable. Through layered harmonies and eerie, otherworldly synths, it transforms skepticism into melody, paranoia into rhythm. The very act of writing a song about a faked moon landing becomes an exercise in creative license, demonstrating how artistic expression can manufacture reality as convincingly as a Hollywood set.

In its final notes, "Under A Masonic Moon" is a meditation on the power of music to conjure the impossible. Just as a film can fabricate reality, a song too can blur truth and myth, proving that a melody can be as persuasive as a photograph, and a lyric as deceptive as a doctored reel of film.

In the end, the music fades, leaving only a question. How phat does this sound on a big rig?

M.RUX takes the spacey folk original and expands the premise creating lush tropical terraformations illuminating the dark side of the moon. With sophisticated rhythms and lo-fi pad-stabs this inventive version induces both the familiar and the strange. A perfect take on the supposed landing itself.

Psychedelic Krautwave wrapped in analog warmth, raw guitar bursts, and machine-driven pulse, carried by a mesmerizing voice. Songs that stretch time, reject convenience, and crave the real. A romantic revolt against the daily noises that numb and distract – slow, honest, and widely aware. For those who still long to long and refuse to get comfortable. Changing Rules is the third studio album by Berlin-based duo AFAR – a sonic manifesto of presence, eruption, and resistance.

One of my first cumbia findings back in the 2010s. I wanted to give it a lil' electronic touch and some editing while slowing and pitching down the whole instrumental. Enjoy the tropical sunset surfer ride :)

Bareto - Vacilando con Ayahuasca (Da Iguana Rebajada Edit)

Some of you may have heard of Ufordia. Though most will not. It is almost impossible to find solid information about what happens there, or where it is. Every now and then, Peter Power (@peter-power) surfaces randomly with a piece of lore and draws attention of the ones not being dulled by the mundane.
This time he shares the knowledge of a long forgotten verse, which, once read, may have the force of projecting you into another plane..

Voyage to the outer fringes,
Spirals of the cosmic fugue.
Ancient echoes, 
Observed within the drama.
Our transpermian heritage,
Awakes into life.

Fog Puma is djing since the late nineties and arrived around the Mid-2000s at the genre-bending Cosmic-Balearic-Leftfield-Disco port after detours to Techno, House, Bigbeat, Triphop and Downbeat. His dj sets are percussive, tribally, dubby, psychedelic and driving in slower to mid tempo areas. It's not his cup of tea to be stuck in one style, and in his sets you can experience his eclectic musical preferences, ranging from Krautrock, Afrobeat, Italo Disco and New Wave to Post-Punk, Avantgarde, Synth Pop and Polyrhythms, to name a few.

He is currently hosting the Mystic Moods nights at Berlin’s rooftop garden club Klunkerkranich, where he shared the stage with djs, live acts and bands as Nu Guinea, Spatz Habibi, Len Leise, the Pingipung Djteam, Andi Otto, Love-Songs, Don’t DJ, Phillip Matalla, Basso, Jascha Hagen, André Pahl, Baernd Anders, Lucas Croon, Alec Lee and dj soFa among others.

Since 2008, he is presenting the Abendlandung radio show (https://cashmereradio.com/shows/abendlandung/), where he shares his musical discoveries - everything old and new between ambient, soundtracks, avant garde, minimal music, post punk, downbeat, lysergica, outsider music and other unusual sounds.
