Description:

Experience the captivating sounds of Nicola Cruz with the limited edition green vinyl release of "Hybridism", a stunning EP that continues his exploration of global sonic landscapes. Originally released following his acclaimed second album, Hybridism is now reissued on collectible green vinyl, offering a fresh opportunity to immerse yourself in Cruz’s expansive, genre-blending aesthetic.

This EP masterfully combines North African rhythms, ethereal Persian motifs, and vocal fragments that evoke both ancient traditions and fantastical worlds. Hybridism stands as a vital chapter in Cruz's ever-evolving musical journey—an intricate fusion of global exotica infused with contemporary electronic sensibilities.

Highlights include:

• "Aima": Inspired by the Igbo refrain sung by Nigerian girls, this track creates the nostalgic illusion of uncovering a lost LP. Its warm, expertly crafted French exotica aesthetic from the 70s evokes a sense of timeless beauty and character.

• "Naeku": Cruz describes this piece as "a sorrowful song in minor tonalities, with warrior energy and strength. It reflects the departure of a soul and the arrival of a new one - Naeku, a Maasai child." Merging Masai lamentation with Quechua wisdom and the soulful touch of a 303, Cruz crafts a deeply meaningful soundscape.

• "Drom Tradisie": A nostalgic vignette capturing the fantasy of a scenic horizon on a forgotten beach, using FM synth textures to evoke tropical imagery and longing.

• "Third Eye Dub": An immersive journey into the fractal depths of concentration, featuring Persian harmonies (in Shur) and Oud played by Nasiri, guiding listeners through a psychedelic, inward voyage.

• "Kawe’s Dream": Inspired by the Tibetan Bardo Thodol, this track explores the spiritual passage of the soul. Cruz describes using Tibetan chants and vocoder effects to evoke the gravity of crossing into the afterlife, creating a mystical, transcendental atmosphere.

Why choose this vinyl?
