High Step Society – Perception
High Step Society
“Perception”
In the midst of overblown computer noises and a rainbow LED sea, the man felt beckoned by a soft, distant light. Upon entering the fantastical shanty village known as The Folly, he and his tribe happened upon an debaucherous, balcony-shaking dance party, thumping to a sound that fit just as readily into a gilded vintage ballroom as a digital desert playground. In that moment, Music, Love, Art, and the Present Moment were the only things that mattered; this was the day Gravitas and High Step Society united.
High Step Society’s new EP Perception, out via Gravitas Recordings, boldly combines the driving beats and bass drops of modern electronica with the hallowed tones of jazz. Through exploring this fusion, the result is an EP that is unstoppably danceable and overflowing with creativity. High Step Society evokes subtle nostalgia for another era, while authentically translating timelessness into a form of contemporary grit. A work spawned from a diverse group of creatives – trained jazz musicians, dark folkies, seasoned funk/rock players, and bass music aficionados – Perception represents a melting pot of collaboration and blending of styles.
Revisit the past with “Side Step,” where a luscious sonic soundscape is concocted from perennial jazz and dreamy, euphonious ingredients. After communing with the past, “Back to the Roots” extends an energetic groove that leaves all worries behind. Title track “Perception” is a dynamic, alluring killer that dances along the concepts of perception, attraction, and infatuation. Woefully rolling through the night on “No. 9,” imaginative instrumentation drives you back into your darkest hour. Transfiguring into a ghostly escapade, “Howlin” is an unearthly companion that escorts you to the brink of the multicolored musical cauldron.

“…los sonidos intentan recuperar una narrativa de paisajes escuchados en la arqueología de otras músicas y otros discursos. No hay fusión. En todo caso, hay una épica. Los roles de voz principal y acompañamiento se disuelven y reconstruyen, jugando entre lo idiomatico y lo diferente en busca del extrañamiento…” – L. Conde

Mariano Rodriguez – Huesos Secos
Mariano Rodriguez
“Huesos Secos”
We are very pleased and grateful to share Huesos Secos (Dry Bones), by Mariano Rodríguez through Carbono Proyecto Records. The idea has been brewing for a long time now, but as we know, in our sound, musical and self-managed projects, if we have anything, it is the freedom to let the processes flow until the ideas and personal planets align.
It’s been already four years since we last published a disc by this guitar artist-craftsman-monk based in Bariloche for a couple of decades. It was Praise the Road, first edited by the American label Grass-Tops Recordings and currently available through his own bandcamp. Anyway, he frequently participates in various compilations that range from the experimental to specific tributes such as the recent one to Jack Rose, another of Mariano’s acoustic guitarists of reference.
In many ways inspired by the logic of the “American primitive guitar” (a term that designates a “transitional” genre according to Wikipedia, to which a legion of guitarists from pioneer John Fahey in the 50-60s, through Leo Kottke, Robbie Basho and the aforementioned Jack Rose until today), Mariano Rodríguez’s music does not focus on the technical deployment of the guitarist, but on the more spiritual or meditative dimension of it. And in connection with all this, although not as conditioning, of course, his deep Christian faith intervenes since his adherence to the theology of Third World liberation. Listen for example to Liberation Theology for beginners, described by him as a Christmas album.
Somehow the tracks that make up Huesos Secos synthesize the mental and sound journey that Mariano started with his family in southern Argentina. This experience was also rooted in half of his life living in Buenos Aires, forming part of different rock and punk bands, and projects with the excellent singer-songwriter Adrián Paoletti among others. But without a doubt his current music is an inseparable part of a Patagonia that he has made his own, resignifying a whole set of influences, which finally act as tools to establish a back and forth movement with his perception of those places of the Argentine interior and its story.

Lavoura – Ayizan
[foot282]
Lavoura
“Ayizan”
Formed 16 years ago, Lavoura is a reference in future jazz made in Brazil. The group debuted two more songs, after a series of singles started in 2018. “Ayizan” is the first single. Climatic, the track brings in its DNA the Brazilian rhythm and the psychedelia, amplified by the arrangements and the accurate production, that confer a certain epic tone to the sonority, without losing the characteristic groove. The other single, “Bossa Exploitation”, refers to the anthropophagic research involving African music. It is the result of impromptu sessions that the group held between 2017 and 2018. Integrated by composers, producers, arrangers, beatmakers, musicians, visual artists and inventors, Lavoura makes a cinematic sound, referenced by the rhythm science and inspired by the concepts of phusion (fusion of the 21st century) and psychogeography, transform spaces in sensory experiences).
