padre himalaya s third release counts with the iran-born, berlin-based, mohammad reza mortazavi. an internationally acclaimed artist who, when it comes to play the traditional persian instruments, tonbak and daf, can single-handedly build an orchestra of sounds that are just as illusionistic as shamanistic. in this ep, focus, mohammad brings us five lush percussion tracks. expect complex and meditative rhythms in a journey between the throbbing minimal sounds of going, rebounce, floating in the now and the elusive hypnotic movements of white daf and birth of a whale.

padre himalaya second release counts with 5 tracks from the portuguese artist silvestre. this ep describes how sports help silvestres life. he likes to run and he produced a few tracks where he goes back in time when he was doing bodyboard while living in portugal.

padre himalaya s first release sees renato step up to the plate: a young producer from lisboa gracing us with his debut ep. the ‘alo alo’ ep contains 3 organic groovy tracks with a slightly sense of humour which marks the identity of the renato project. super fresh sounds from portuguese underground that comes highly recommended!!

from a basement studio in hackney, east london comes payfone s 2nd release on golf channel - quarantine b/w padre, pray for us. following on from 2014 s extremely well received paradise heater, payfone continue down a similar path for the a side quarantine. featuring once again 24 year old vocal powerhouse louis howard jones, quarantine is a semi auto biographical take on the hardships of a an underprivileged youth, set against a tough phil passera production that sounds more new york city 1984 than new port county 2004 (jones was born and raised in cardiff). cruising at 120 bpm, the dark funk guitar intro gives way to some heavy slap bass and deep synth that touches michael jackson s thriller before the direct and brutal vocals of jones hit you right between the eyes. padre, pray for us is a bizarre afro-cuban inspired homage to passera s italian father sergio ( who s telephone call can be heard on the songs intro). featuring the lethal trumpet of former cuban military private eikel venegas hernandez, this instrumental takes you to the pinata party via downtown lagos. golf channel every time !

diskotopia is extremely proud to kick-start 2019 with girar, a four-track ep of new kaleidoscopic productions from lisbon-born, london-based producer silvestre. silvestre is no stranger to diskotopia, this being his third release with the label, debuting with the gritty noise-and-thump frank pike ep in 2014, and following that up with the more buoyant, latinate floresta ep in 2016. in addition to producing, silvestre also co-runs the padre himalya imprint, putting out 2018 s critically acclaimed focus ep from tombak virtuoso mohammad reza mortazavi, renato s 2016 alo alo, plus his own sport theories and all the things 12-s. with the girar ep, silvestre presents four idiosyncratic cuts: the bubbling psychotropic mutant rhumba of ir a sagres, woozy spliff-house deptford bus, rc surfer, a time-stretched reggaeton soundclash and the pseudo-jubilant breakbeat-house everybody is happy, testimony of a truly unique and exciting artist in the modern current of electronic music.

the boundary-pushing colombian group returns to soundway records with another unique album: dreamy psych-folk, blending traditional latin rock with tropicalia, and lush string and choral arrangements. meridian brothers’ sound is a huge palette of influences and inspirations. drawing from traditional latin rock (including colombian, argentinian and mexican) as well as brazilian tropicalia, for this album alvarez incorporates string instruments - in particular the cello, both bowed and plucked - a timbre rarely used in his previous works.

the incredible first album by tim maia brazils greatest soul star in the 70s, and for good reason too given that tim was one of the few who could match the depth of american soul and funk at the time!
