International Feel welcomes Jolly Mare. Hailing from Italy and being a well-versed producer. Multi-instrumentalist and passionate DJ, his first release on the rekindled label sees him delving deep into the mystical and magical realms of vintage synthesizers, drum machines, and effect units. Sounding like a one-man band from the late '70s conferring with a studio wizard from the 2020s, it has all the components of a cosmic or Balearic master thesis: traces of krautrock, Italian pop sensibilities, dance rhythms, cosmic curveballs, and capturing chants. The single Vivo melds those ingredients and is just the first bite in an extraordinary Omakase.

Jolly Mare's Logica Natura is a crazy 12-track library music-style album. It's all based around bumping live rhythms triggering an obscure Japanese drum synth module. Jolly Mare's Fabrizio Martina on the album's production: "It was November 2017 when I received a call from an old friend, 'Hi Fabrizio, I found a rare Japanese drum machine, you should come and see it before I put this on EBay.' I went to check it out and immediately realized it had more potential than just drum sounds generation; it was able to produce quirky and creepy sounds if triggered by any sound source. So I bought it and brought in the studio, where me and Alex (Semprevivo) were laying down new beats and ideas. It took just three days of jams to get the skeleton of this record done: I programmed the module to receive Alex's drum hits and the device started creating synth lines, almost as it was speaking its own language. I've found a soul in this machine, and I wanted to bring it to life in these tracks, a mix of arranged compositions and improvised jams. No root keys, no grids, no clicks, everything came out in an instinctive and natural way As far as we know it's the first time this synthesizer/drum machine is been used in this "improper" and new way."
