Following his collaboration with Nicolas Jaar's Clown & Sunset label, Cruz has self-produced and self-recorded this landmark album. 

‘Prender el Alma’ is a new strain of Latin American music Cruz calls ‘Andes Step’. Influenced by new digital technology, blended with local influence, Cruz builds his tracks layer by layer, instrument by instrument, drum by drum, exploring local indigenous and Afro-cosmologies in a modern setting. 

From atmospheric opener ‘Sanacion’, the 10-track album journeys through short, sharp acoustic guitar riffs on ‘Puente Roto’ and the percussive ‘La Mirada’, to the electronic ‘Prender el Alma’. Down-beat ‘Equinoccio’ gets a vocal kick from Ecuadorian singer Huaira, ending with the blissful, lo-fi ‘Cocha Runa’ featuring Tanya Sanchez. ‘Prender el Alma’ ebbs and flows through a range of production of local sounds, feeling like a digital awakening.

This digital revolution is spreading through Latin America like wildfire, and nowhere is this more exciting than in the heart of the continent's bustling music scene, where Nicola Cruz is leading the way. 

Led by forward-thinking young producers and musicians, Ecuador is beginning to experience its own digital folklore revolution.  A new crop of producers and musicians are using homeland traditions and rhythms to build on a vibrant history of visual and sonic art, catapulting them into the 21st century.

ZZK are at the forefront of this burgeoning music scene. With artists such as Frikstailers, La Yegros, El Remolon and Chancha Via Circuito, they are defining a new and exciting Latin American music culture.

Nicola Cruz - Cumbia Del Olvido

@Leohnart-officiel, beatmaker and composer of exuberant imagination, puts forth a music that is at once introspective, ethnic, powerful and pensive. As a lover of nature, he enjoys cultivating and recharging his creativity from and through the simplicity of the natural world. 

This bold and curious artist from the collective @Cosmovisionrecords, draws inspiration from world musics, absorbing and diluting them in turn to produce his own musical universe, one which offers the listener a moment of calm repose and evasion. Accompanied by his MPD and keyboard, he guides his listeners as they travel through his blend of samples and compositions, producing melodies that are at once mesmerizing and tranquil.

Suddenly, a poetic wizzard shows up and whisper to your ears: "let free the wind, laisse-le: Vis, Vent !" ☽☀☾

part of [GHR002] Hybrid Rituals Vol​​.​​2 OUT ON GLOBAL HYBRID REC.

Global Hybrid Record’s artists decided to gather forces and join inspirations on a regular basis to create a serie of collaborative EPs, under the name HYBRID RITUALS, featuring their respective productions.

EP will be available for free download at Bandcamp («name your price», you can donate to support the label). For HQ lovers, you will also be able to purchase the WAV versions. The money collected will go exclusively to the label, for its promotion and to support the artists (physical release, videomaking, mastering, etc).

The tracks from the EP will get a second life, through the work of guest remixers, that will lead to another EP in a near future. A good way for us to promote, via our label, artists that we care about and head towards the same musical direction.

One of the amazing things about the deeply Jamaican music called Dub is its ability to act as a conduit. From its early days as stripped down versioning of popular Reggae tunes to its indoctrination into late 80 / early 90s UK Soundsystem & Dance Music culture, to its current massive mutation (with the “Step” planted firmly in its behind); Dub has shown itself to be not only a musical art form that stands strongly on its own, but also a vehicle of sorts that can transport and connect disparate musical universes. And it’s at the unique nexus of Dub and Arabic music that the Spy From Cairo sits the most comfortably. 

The Spy From Cairo aka Zeb is the kind of musician that fits perfectly in with the downtown NYC music scene – Italian by birth, Gypsy by heritage, and Brooklynite by residence, he has been closely associated with the Turntables on the Hudson scene for close to 12 years – producing dozens of albums as Zeb, the Spy From Cairo and the Organic Grooves project, as well as remixing for everyone from Baba Maal to Tosca to Billie Holliday to Novalima, steadily garnering a worldwide collective of fans and followers 

The Spy’s new album, “Arabadub” is perhaps his most realized vision of deep Middle Eastern and Jamaican sounds coalescing into something that sounds right and natural – because it was conceived and produced in just that natural way. There are no samples used on the album, and Zeb has programmed everything, as well as playing traditional Middle Eastern stringed instruments called the Oud, Chifteli and the Saz himself. Check the opener “Alladin Dub”, with its echoed out skanks, pulsing bassline, and majestic strings – and the deepness that is “Taksim Square”, complete with swirling, psychedelic accordion. Other highlights include the tense four-to-the-floor stomper “Desert Tears”, the rolling dub of “Sons of Hannibal” with it’s beautiful Middle Eastern vocal chants, the nostalgic “Egyptian Pulse” with its Steppers sound and melancholy vibes, and the dancehall vibes of “Prince Ahmed” – sounding like 3AM Kingston wrapped in a Bedouin Tent!
