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

The Devil’s Violinist returns!West Coast beat-boss / rhyme capo Dios Negasi finally drops the long-awaited LP, Black Violin 2. Out now via streaming courtesy of Chamber Music Ent / Reagan Era Records this edition tops the grit factor and guest roster of the 2023 first edition.
The project is named after legendary composer Niccolo Paginini (1782-1840) who was nicknamed “The Devil’s Violinist” for his supernatural ability on the instrument and adherence to wearing all black. Negasi also has a similar mastery of dark boom-bap sounds, creating some of the roughest tracks of this century.
Reagan Era Records cohort Skrillz Dior makes multiple appearances on the project and Los Angeles homies also appear including Dyverse, Killa Kali, K-Borne and Chamber Music’s Ominous also guest. However, the guest list on this project also taps a litany of mic legends including Ghostface Killah, Young Zee (Da Outsidaz), Conway The Machine, RJ Payne, Blu and Fredro Starr (Onyx).

Speaking on working with legends Negasi said “Ominous was dead set on topping Black Violins 1 plus I think he just likes seeing me under pressure. Of course when you are dealing with artists of this caliber, the end product takes longer to complete but I love this album!”
Additional props must be given to M-s BEATZ THE MAD KID from Colombia who produced “Black Scrolls” ft RJ Payne, Chris Scott who sprinkled keys on “Gods Wallabee Clarks” ft Ghostface Killah and “Only God Can Save You” ft Conway The Machine and finally the UK’s Too Nasty who engineered the album.
(rings in the holidays with a blast! Enlisting Onyx’s Fredro Starr for new single “Bust Back” the Dios produced banger combines two of the grittiest lyricists of the West and East coasts.
