about

100 years ago the world lived in chaos. Huge wars between humans, as well as great advances in technology that changed forever the face of the world, a world that according to many artists, lived as a prisoner of the rational mind and that did not allow us humans to understand life and the Universe in its wide spectrum.

This is how, with its mystical origin in Dadaism, Surrealism was born. A movement that sought to explore and venture into the limits of the human mind through art. Initially literature, but also reaching the visual arts and so much more. Then decades later, the first psychedelic artists were born, much closer to music in its origins and who represented a rebellion against the established norms in the face of a world in chaos.

Today after 100 years, the scenario is complex again. There are wars, there is a technological revolution and the world is coming out of a great chaos caused by a virus that produced a great crisis. Can we perhaps learn something from the ideas of surrealism, to understand today's world?, remove ourselves from the entirely rational mind to which technology and the "information society" push us, to finally understand the world from an alternative perspective?

Making this compilation was a leap into the void, a mixture of psychic automatism and cadavre exquis (exquisite corpse) that ended with a very free, authentic and very fresh result, with the wonder of the unexpected, including very purely electronic songs, with ideas of techno and even psy trance, like other more tropical ones with psychedelic cumbia, of course others more pop and the others, those that are usually there in our music, the ones totally trippy.

We hope you enjoy this great compilation full of freedom and unusual ideas, which will help you connect with another world through music, rhythm and love, thank you eternally!

ESPAÑOL

Hace 100 años el mundo vivía en el caos. Las guerras entre seres humanos como también grandes avances en la tecnología cambiaban la cara conocida del mundo, un mundo que según muchos artistas vivía preso del mundo racional y que no permitía comprender la vida, el Universo, el ser en su amplio espectro.

Es así como con su origen místico en el dadaísmo, nacía el surrealismo, movimiento que buscaba explorar y aventurarse en los límites de la mente humana a través del arte, inicialmente la literatura, pero llegando también hasta las artes visuales y más. Décadas después nacieron los primeros artistas psicodélicos, más cercanos a la música y que representaron una rebelión contra las normas establecidas ante un mundo en caos.

Pasados 100 años el escenario nuevamente es complejo, hay guerras, hay revolución tecnológica y el mundo viene saliendo de un gran caos producido por un virus que produjo una gran crisis. ¿Podemos acaso aprender algo desde las ideas del surrealismo, para entender el mundo de hoy?, sustraernos del mundo enteramente racional al que nos empuja la tecnología y ¨la sociedad de la información¨ para entender el mundo desde una mirada alternativa?

Hacer este compilado fue un salto al vacío, una mezcla de automatismo psíquico y cadáver exquisito que terminó con un resultado muy libre, auténtico y muy fresco, con la maravilla propia de lo inesperado, incluyendo canciones muy puramente electrónicas, con ideas del techno y del psy trance incluso, como otras más tropicales y con ideas de la cumbia sicodélica, como por supuesto otras más pop y las otras, esas que son grata y totalmente trippy.

Esperamos disfruten este gran compilado lleno de libertad e ideas fuera de la norma, que les sirva para conectarse con otro mundo a través de la música, el ritmo y el amor, gracias!
