Tropical mutant punk funk duo Tetine release “Music For Breathing”

Published

on

“Music For Breathing” is the brand new single by the tropical mutant punk funk duo Tetine taken from their new album After the Future – out now on Slum Dunk Music.

Formed by Brazilian musicians/artists Bruno Verner, Eliete Mejorado and cellist Yoko Afi, Tetine have been producing a series of singular works intersecting electronic music, performance art, film/video, and spoken word, and acting in experimental contexts both in the music and art scenes since their creation in São Paulo in 1995.

“Music For Breathing” is a dreamy electro-acoustic meditation for cello, treated voices, electronics, and organ, dedicated to our planetary ecosystem in erosion. “Music For Breathing” dwells on such complex relationships motivated by a strong desire for collective change, a shift towards a greater understanding of the cosmos without the need to produce for ‘progress’. The track also comes with “Spaced Out in Paradise”, a washed out, hypnotic melancholic track sung by Yoko and Bruno as they search for another planetary contact.

Spaceman enlists Fatboi Sharif for “Think Twice”

Published

on

Interstellar word-smith Spaceman beams in from somewhere in the cosmos with new single “Think Twice.” Somewhere between vaporwave, the darkly analog synth soundtracks of John Carpenter and abstract boom-bap the off-kilter slap was produced by The Suspect (Allegedly).  Spaceman comes with rugged bugged rhymes and enlists fellow lyrical non-conformist Fatboi Sharif for a guest verse. 

Speaking on the link-up for this joint, Spaceman relayed “I’ve known Fatboi for a long time. He and his homie (89 the Brainchild) were doing an underground radio show that supported my (then) crew back in the early 2010s. Interestingly enough he didn’t even rap back then.  Fatboi makes it known that his style is definitely *not* horrorcore, which I respect, but being the pea-brain I am I still can’t help but associate him with that aesthetic. So, when I was thinking of who could help me sketch out the dark cerebral atmosphere of this record ,his was the name that jumped out.”

Listen to “Think Twice” ft. Fatboi Sharif:

“Think Twice” is part of self-proclaimed “Social Skills” series of singles from Spaceman to drop this year.  The title of the series is a nod to the emcee’s willingness to step out of his comfort zone and collaborate with other rappers who he respects (considering Spaceman’s last three projects, which were strictly solo affairs).

The “Social Skills” series kicked off with recent single “Mumblecore” which featured his former Inner City Kids Collective cohorts ABGOHARD and Producer K3Mal (link below).
