PLOT
The third and last album of ARABIA SAUDADE completes the sad story of their Arab Character. Arrived in Brazil with big luggage full of Saudade on the first album (Americ) our character started loving the carnival frenzy of its new home (Le Petit Senegallia) and now is ready to discover all the countries of South America. His trip driven by Wikipedia info leads him to unconditional love for the continent. But when the joy reaches the apex it is time to go back home. As Joao Gilberto taught us: joy has an end and sadness doesn’t.
ALBUM:
The 12 new tracks recorded by ARABIA SAUDADE are one for each South American country (except Brazil which was the main theme of the previous albums). Each lyrics is focused on something taken from the Wikipedia page and then explored live by the Italian band. It took four years to check all the news with real intercontinental trips. During these trips Arabia Saudade embedded Cazzurillo because their Portuguese was still translated with Google Translate, and she was the only one that could understand our sad guys.
REFERENCE:
The travelling helped Arabia Saudade to discover tons of new music and evolve their arabpunk sound. We can sum up in these references:
Downtown Boys, Gal Costa, Bad Bunny, Gong, La Tigresa Del Oriente, Wendy Sulca

Andrea Porcu is a composer and producer from Sardinia, Italy, most notably known for his project Music For Sleep and as the mastermind of ROHS! RECORDS, a label that has done great in the international music scene, including with the very dear sublabel Lontano Series.
First through Dub, Reggae applied to techno, and in recent years dedicating himself exclusively to experimental and ambient music, Andrea’s intense and prolific work as Music For Sleep has resulted in sorts of a personal and intimate music diary of over 60 albums since 2016. His output, both as artist and label manager, has been a huge inspiration for us and a source of numerous favorite albums through the years. So we are really happy to welcome him with a special Music For Sleep debut on Mahorka!
“Esaminazioni Cosmiche” was written and composed between January and February 2021 during a period of introspection, about the world I lived in (and still live in) all through an external, cosmic gaze.
This album is dedicated to the Italian ambient minimalist movement of the seventies and eighties.
Released February 3, 2023 as free (cc) digital download and a limited edition cassette on Mahorka.
Instrument Sleeve is the result of a long collaboration that represents their background of Instrustrial, Noise, Techno, Glitch, Experimental & Ethereal sounds.

Traditionally, the INTENT series have encompassed three music genres: ambient music, electronica, and Musique Concrete/Electroacoustic/EAI. “Psithurism” is a unique blend of Musique Concrete, Field Recordings, Electroacoustic and other genres. Taking its namesake from the Greek word for wind whispering through the trees, this volume is a narrative-driven listening experience, bringing the listener on a journey through dense soundscapes and dynamic textures. “Psithurism” is one of two volumes dedicated exclusively to this style.

As we emerge from the tumultuous period of pandemic, conflict, and other turbulence, it’s time to look to the future and dream bigger than ever before. But before we can soar, we must first embark on a journey of renewal and reawakening. It’s time to take a deep breath and open our eyes to a world of possibilities, to chart a course for a brighter tomorrow. We must not be afraid to seize the opportunity to make a difference, to strive for a better, more hopeful future. For it is only when we come together to take action, to sow the seeds of progress, that we can truly realize the full potential of our collective Anastasis.

It’s been over a decade since heads have been able to enjoy a NEW song by New York City’s Regenerated Headpiece… an independent powerhouse that always delivers a unique and DOPE hip-hop experience. Over the past few years there have been collaborations which were essentially RHP joints, however, today with “Brothers” we have the first in a very long time that is RHP… Phon-X (a.k.a. Headsnack), Shred Lexicon, and DJ Exfyl! Let me tell you that it was most definitely worth the wait with its stellar production, cuts and lyrical content. Oh… and on the flip is a fantastic remix of “Enjoy The Veal”, a joint originally found on Headsnack’s 2018 solo album “Secret Handshake”. Alright, enough from us… download and enjoy.
What… RHP have returned?!? Thank you gents for the fire return! Seriously incredible joints. Keep it coming!
Of course, thanks once again to you for downloading & listening. We always strive to deliver the music you’ll love. Please spread the word about blocSonic, if you enjoy what we do. Remember… everything we release is cool to share! Always keep the music moving… share it… blog it… podcast it! If you’re in radio… support independent music and broadcast it!
A continuing step of “Portal” (pn207), a narrative exercise, a story lacking words, looking for dialogues with what happens in each other’s imagery: delays, limitations, intensities and calm realms. “Tránsitos” is a bridge to somewhere that is also nowhere, a timeless space looking to face Time, the dictates of must, hierarchy and imposition to be broken. Why do we listen to what we like listening to?. What gives value to a record?. Questions. Images. Ideas. A listening moment, a conversation with another being, scattered among the resonances of their own landscape.
