"Deli Divan" its a two-part record with incredibly crafted beats that tell a different
story depending on the version you chose to listen. A side captivates by its voracity.
Hi-tech and fierce beats drop with the sharp voice and flow of Ethnique Punch,
delivering 14 - yes, f-o-u-r-t-e-e-n - short and punchy tracks. The diggin liveliness
of Grup Ses is well present in the samples used, manufacturing beats that serve well
the fast paced and nocturnal voice of Ethnique Punch. The first part of "Deli Divan"
is pretty much a straight story. A good one. But then comes the surprise. The other
side. The same fourteen tracks without voice, just the beats. And here "Deli Divan"
tells a completely different story. It loses the emergency, darkness and robustness
of the A side, specially because the beats float on a limbo without a voice. But that
limbo reveals the straightforwardness of the beats created by Grup Ses for this record.
Theres a hidden narrative here, without the voice the short tracks connect like an
outer world radio broadcast. But theres no narrator. Just time-travelling beats that
interlink past, present and future, synthetizing complex ideas in short bursts of
1 or 2 minutes. A Deli-Delight this is.

Back in 2014 when we first released the self-titled Chupame El Dedo we werent sure
if people could hold their mojitos while banging to their music. In 2019 we seriously
advise to keep your hands free while listening to their second album. Formed by psych
cumbia master Eblis Alvarez (Meridian Brothers) and Pedro Ojeda (Romperayo), the man
that found the perfect cocktail mix for acid + folk + tropical beats, Chupame El Dedo
are ready to mess around with Satan. "No Te Metas Con Satan" its a humorous title for
music that expels cartoonish metal-vibes mixed with tropical rhythms.

SOUK    9       SERPENTE                DIAS DA ARANHA                  LP      05.2022

        03.     SIMBOLO IV
        04.     SIMBOLO V
        05.     VALA DA LUZ DA MANHA
        06.     RITOS DE POEIRA
                (Note : LP , black vinyl)

If youre keeping in touch with Portuguese electronic music, then Bruno Silvas music
should be no stranger to you. If youve also been keeping tabs on his evolution
throughout our catalogue, youll notice how mature and resolved his sounds feels
in "Dias da Aranha". Theres no restrain here, the beats evolve in a self-confident
way and the way it assembles and incorporates other people's sounds is a bliss.
Go straight to the last track, "Ritos de Poeira", and listen to how organic
everything feels, the endless rhythm and how Pedro Sousas saxophone is incorporated
as a beautiful hopeful lament. Just put it on repeat. Bliss.
