Cafe de la Jungle is a project created by Tomasz K Zajac to explore his fascination with shamanic practices in highly dynamic sound environments creating cutting-edge contemporary electronic music. Known for his musical adaptability, he experiments with merging acoustic, analogue, and digital realms.

Today we're presenting the result of the work of two friends, Jhon and Salva. We hope you enjoy the collaboration between !nertia and ABSIS.

!nertia is a composer & performer who pushes the boundaries of sonic arts. His work explores the motion of sound through an instinctive way of working; he makes field recordings and then he extracts movement out of natural sounds, afterwards, he combines these elements into live electronics to create an endless journey. A smooth and organic blend, fusing the electronic and natural world into one ambience. This approach results into emotional, atmospheric and hypnotic art works, which mutate into performances to experience his narrative sound in diverse multi sensorial ways.

ABSIS is Salva Coromina, a regular DJ in the Barcelona scene since the late 90's under the alias mouseDown/MouseUp. He was a resident DJ at The Loft (Razzmatazz) and a regular at Sonar for many years. He has always been exploring the deeper side of electronic music, moving from ambient to techno. Currently, ABSIS runs his bi-monthly residency at Laut club in Barcelona under the name Midline, where he has invited DJs such as Vand, Daniel(i), Unjin, Doctrina Natura, Vardae, Fon, Simone Bauer, Foreign Material and Jin Synth. He is also a resident at the MOSTRA festival in Barcelona and his productions are published on labels such as hivern discs and Oslated among others.

OWL is a Belgian electronic music producer who started producing under the alias Glÿph with his friend Clearlight and also under the alias OZOH.

In 2013, Owl wanted to expand his musical vision and push the boundaries of his creativity. This led him to delve into new sonic territories, capturing the attention of labels such as Silent Season, Lowless, Huinali, Stasis, DNO, re:st and Muzan Editions. His distinctive sound began to resonate within the electronic music community, setting the stage for his continued evolution as an artist.

Owl’s aptitude for creating subtle, lush sonic journeys keeps expanding and his last releases should further cement his reputation. The artist’s discography is in perpetual evolution : from autonomic dnb, deep techno to a dreamy & melancholy ambient journey.

It’s a real pleasure to introduce Polish superstar Blazej Malinowski, who shines on our latest release, “Drifting Sands”. His track “Tide” is a perfect treat for fans of refined dub techno, accompanied by Daniel[i], Eric Cloutier, and Ben Kaczor on this Various Artists.

👉 https://crescentlondon.bandcamp.com/album/drifting-sands-crscnt21

Malinowski began DJing in early 2000s Warsaw, exploring US house and techno. He co-founded the event and radio series Fünfte Strasse with Michał Wolski, quickly gaining recognition for his driving techno sets. His first releases in 2012 paved the way for records on labels like Semantica and The Gods Planet.

Now known for trippy, psychedelic grooves, Malinowski balances his techno with experimental work. He founded the A/V event Why So Silent? and collaborates on projects like Keen Distress. Based in Berlin, he continues to champion Poland’s scene with a residency at Jasna1.

Although the dubplates have sold out, you can still grab “Tide” and the rest of the compilation in digital format on our Bandcamp. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

We’re excited to introduce Eric Cloutier, whose stunning dubby track was featured on our latest Various Artists release. His contribution fits seamlessly into the "Drifting Sands" compilation, alongside tracks from Blazej Malinowski, Ben Kaczor & Daniel[i].

👉 https://crescentlondon.bandcamp.com/album/drifting-sands-crscnt21

While the dubplates have sold out, you can still grab “Aparigraha” and the rest of the VA in digital format on our Bandcamp. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

A self-described "record digging psychopath," Eric Cloutier’s standards are representative of the pre-social media craze and arguably the old adage of letting music speak for itself. Cloutier’s twenty-plus year commitment has been built upon his integrity as a DJ and authority as a selector. His reputation as an unequivocal, dexterous force is increasingly becoming one of note. He’s a DJ for whom quality - above all else - is the watchword.
