Nickodemus Feat. Bam & the Real Liv: Back in ... [Vinyl LP]

Chancha Via Circuito: Amansara [Vinyl LP]

Ceremonia (“Ceremony”) is the first collaborative release between singer-songwriter Luvi Torres, and producer Chancha Vía Circuito. Combining Luvi’s exceptional voicework with powerful creative rhythms typical of Chancha, the lyrics include mantras Luvi uses in their therapeutic exercises, thereby immersing us in a healing musical world. Taken as a whole, the album’s four tracks, Abro (“I Open”), Creo (“I Believe” or “I Create”), Sano (“I Heal”), Amo (“I Love”) encourage sensitive receptivity. Luvi’s vocals are enveloped by lush ambient dub. Chancha’s rhythms and vibrations create a comforting and calming soundscape that invites a sense of timelessness and expansion. At times Ceremonia spirals hypnotically, blurring the distinction between inner and outer worlds. This music calls for attentive listening and encourages active individual and collective reinvention.
