aaahhchestra – Bralitz Vol. 3
[djummi.018]
aaahhchestra
“Bralitz Vol. 3”
Bralitz 2014 was special. Well, Bralitz is always special. But 2014 – „Aaahhwoo” – probably was our most distinctive and fun festival. Being our first two day festival, it took a lot of work preparing it. We even built an outside stage with our own hands, while getting eaten by mosquitoes.
Still we managed to record some music during the week. For the first time there was a song with German lyrics – that’s special, too.
Bralitz connoisseurs will surely miss Nicolas Falcon’s trade mark voice and songwriting – he couldn’t be there that year. But he will be back for one of the next chapters!

The music of the album Zealandia speaks the language of longing. It is about the eighth continent, on whose back lie the islands of New Zealand, among others. This album is very, very quiet and that’s the way it should be. It was recorded in March 2020 using only a memotron.

Slow Children & Area – Zima E.P.
[tonAtom.141]
Slow Children & Area
“Zima E.P.”
chicago, in the middle of deepest winter. snow covered. at this time of year, the title track of this e.p. was created as a collaboration between slow children (whom we welcome as a new artist) and area (most recently in 2009 on “objet trouvé” [tonatom.103]).
“zima” means winter and this is reflected in the meandering, powerful, deep, ambient opener. five alternative interpretations of this work take up different aspects in a new way, continue it with a new focus and complete this e.p. this is far from being a ” one original title and remixes” release, but rather presents six very different variations of a theme combined, which allows an attentive listening as one piece.

Various Artist – Quintessence
[TTR068]
Various Artist
“Quintessence”
In July 2015 a new electronic music label was born in Brazil. Amidst the rise of many new talents in need of space to show their work, Tropical Twista Records started with the idea to give voice to these brilliant artists, from Brazil and the rest of the world.
Five years later, the label stays true to the mission of releasing new and interesting people, spotlighting Brazilian and South American artists. Beyond that, TTR feeds the underground electronic music scene, encouraging and sharing its music in a broad and accessible way.
“Quintessence” is the closure of this first 5 year cycle: we gathered all elements of the previous years to give birth to a new energy, expansive, dynamic, long lasting and capable of creating new ideas, breaking paradigms every time.
We brought together these 15 artists in this compilation to once again solidify our intention and our commitment with the underground electronic music, experimental and avant-garde, Tropical Twista’s trademark.

Fm Outt – Incomplete Kisses
[ST018]
Fm Outt
“Incomplete Kisses”
Fm Outt is a romantic and a futuristic alter ego with a focus on the beautiful and the good of sadness.
This is music without reference to genre orientation, a rhythm cataloged or its complete absence.
Fm Outt try to write music from images, music for storytelling, music to reflect a calm environment.
He is inspired by his family. Watching his wife walk around the room, his daughter does her homework quietly and his son plays-I he makes compositions based on those feelings and moments, that is his inspiration.
He is inspired by the silence or lack of it.
He learned one simple thing from some people:
Everything is Sound…
Music is all around us the music is allways within us…

Hola Papa – Too Far with my Crazy Loser girl
[pn161]
Hola Papa
“Too Far with my Crazy Loser girl”
Hola Papá, experimental electronica project by chilean artist Valentina Mardones, presents “Too Far with my Crazy Loser girl”, a record comprising 5 tracks: 2 studio works (“201X” y “Round About Midnight Stairs”), and three live takes (“Muelle Fracaso”, “Miradores Fracaso” y “Loser Heart under Water”). Coming from an avant-jazz-rock background, as MediaBanda lead singer from 2014 to 2018, her approach towards baffling, chaotic soundings in this solo work are extremely interesting.
Crossing unsteady pulses and rhythms with brittle melodies, her compositions are an invitation to keep our minds on the complex atmospheres she weaves and knits, sometimes looking for a break taking us to extreme noise, some other times descending towards peaceful melodic states – all of this can be found in this landscape.
This new Hola Papá work is a landmark in Pueblo Nuevo catalog. Her creative and sonic freedom statement allows us to keep exploring more complex music realms, going beyond the expected, taking risks and proposing new sound perspectives, using everything at hand, either the voice of one’s own, a Turin church bells recording, or a Microkorg synth, anything goes – but, most of all, the boldness to break rules and standards.

Asylum Connection – Grey Worlds Fill Empty Words
[SR223]
Asylum Connection
“Grey Worlds Fill Empty Words”
“Everything you feel is a part of me, I have carefully hidden or crushed it for so many years. She always came back to me, and I fought her to the point that I hurt myself trying to disavow her. This project was born when I broke that vicious circle. That day, with shame I shred that taboo I had for noise and for the most violent and uncompromising instincts of myself. This sound has always been inside me.
I mainly used contact microphones, objects, guitar pedals, but I try not to set any limits to what I do. I want to thank for the patience/trust/support my wife, Nicola and Omar, Teresa, Federico & Adonai, RecycledFab and Mai12 for the inspiration.
Asylum Connection is:
“A long time to fight the self-destructive spirit. And then one day I put myself aside and I left him free, free to express himself, to move objects, to bring sounds where he wanted. Not me against myself, but me together with the most intolerant part of my spirit. Together we create these sounds and visions.”

Piece Of Acid – Acid Flowers EP
[DigitalDiamonds076]
Piece Of Acid
“Acid Flowers EP”
Acid Flowers EP is the debut release by the German co-founder of Digital Diamonds and one half of Alic, Piece Of Acid. The driving concept behind the project is based on Roland’s renowned bass synthesizer from the ’80s, called the TB-303, after its unique sound and warm timbre. This gives the EP a retro, acid techno vibe complemented by analog sounds and clear-cut production. However, there’s a refreshing visionary, psychedelic approach in the textures and sound design, using insect-like and glitch effects. On top of that, it has ear-catching ideas that make the tracks not only dance floor gems but well-composed songs. We foresee a promising future for this budding project.

Aza Lineage & Culture Horn
“I Give Thanks”
Culture Horn Sound System, the heavyweight Russian dub sound system from the town of Kremenki in the Kaluga region in Russia, returns with a new EP. After the first release in year 2018 and the great feedback it received from listeners all around the world (“I am a Rootsman” was awarded “Best Album of 2018” in Russia and “Best Indie Artist” for Madi Simmons), the sound system crew returns with a new collaboration, this time featuring the Jamaican uprising artist Aza Lineage.
Aza Lineage was born to teenage parents in the harsh inner cities of Kingston, Jamaica in late 1980s. She grew up with her extended family with hergrandmother being the head of the household. Growing up Aza realized she could sing and would often do so for friends, schoolmates and family members. On searching she found Rastafari, the Energy she thanks for changing her thinking, brought African Spirituality to her awareness and connected her to her roots, hoping to impact people in a positive way through her music.
The new EP of Culture Horn includes six tracks: 2 vocals tracks and 4 instrumentals/dubs. The first one is a special dubplate on the Roots Radics Riddim, recorded exclusive for Culture Horn Sound System., followed by a flute version ft. Aktuch and the obligatory we woulld be gratefdub. The second one is the title track. With lyrics to spark your mind, I Give Thanks is followed by a special melodica dub by Med Dred and a heavyweight cut by Culture Horn Sound System.
