Francisco López offers a brand-new field recording composition based on the recordings he did in the island of Tenerife whilst visiting for a performance at the Keroxen Festival, 2020. Internationally recognized as one of the major figures of the sound art and experimental music scene, Francisco has an ear-like gift to point his microphones (and our ears) to the most special and unlikely of sound sources. For almost forty years he has developed an astonishing sonic universe, absolutely personal and iconoclastic, based on a profound listening of the world. Destroying boundaries between industrial sounds and wilderness sound environments, the presentation here is not unlike his most famous and celebrated works whilst still maintaining its unique relevance among a prolific catalogue of sounds. Entitled Hidden Island Music the work explores its aforementioned "hidden sounds" of Tenerife with a high sensorial mix of environmental and "industrial" recordings taken in and around the Massifs of Teno and Anaga and later composed into a unique sonic journey through the huge sound pits of this rugged region of north Tenerife. Another masterful work from one of the masters of his craft, shifting from the limits of our perception to the most dreadful abyss of sonic power, a profound and transcendental listening open to sensory and spiritual expansion. Original environmental sound matter recorded at multiple locations in Macizo de Teno and Macizo de Anaga (Tenerife), November 2020. Evolved, composed, edited, mixed and mastered at "mobile messor" (Tenerife, Den Haag) and Dune Studio (Loosduinen), 2020-21. Cover photography by Néstor Torrens Back. Photography by Francisco López.

Brazilian-American power trio São Paulo Underground (Rob Mazurek, Mauricio Takara, Guilherme Granado) align their chakras with Tenerife electronic pranksters Tupperwear (Mladen Kurajica, Daniel Garcia) for an anything goes EP session of tropical jazz, Chicago post rock, and general head scratching psych chants. Recorded live in 2016 in a disused kerosene tank in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands after a week-long residency. Now recompiled by the Keroxen label and presented here in its ripest form, certified ready for human consumption. Each member plays multiple roles in creating Saturno Mágico's unique organic evolving sound. Mazurek plays cornet and modular synths; Takara's on drums, cavaquinho and electronics, whilst Granado plays keyboards, synthesizers, and sampler. Tupperwear add to the organic flow with Kurajica on various synths and keyboards whilst Garcia excels on electronics, live sampling, guitar and voices. Another unique document from the Keroxen Label, exponential Island music and insular collaborations spilled out onto the world -- so much more to come, blink it and you'll miss. Recorded Live November 9th, 2016 by Daniel Badal. Mixing and master by Daniel García. Artwork by Evan Crankshaw.

Los Pirañas' "Greatest Hits", with an added brass section, in a disused kerosene tank, what else! The Colombian trio return with an echo blast after their last delivery Historia Natural (GB 081CD/LP, 2019) to make their own way through the psychedelic tunnel visions of cumbia, champeta, psych surf rock, and everything else in between. Made up of Bogota natives, Eblis Alvarez (Meridian Brothers, Chupame El Dedo), Pedro Ojeda (Romperayo, Chupame El Dedo) and Mario Galeano (Frente Cumbiero, Ondatropica), the trio have been playing their own brand of tropical music together for over two decades now. Infame Golpazo en Keroxen reunites the trio's subversive way of making music as they re-configure and re-record their sound live in a disused gasoline tank situated in the port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands. As that wasn't enough they meet with local brass players Pablo Arocha on trumpet, Pablo González on trombone, and Eduardo Martín on tuba to mash up the already mucho tropical humid vibe into a unique gasoline implosion of tropical fervor. After three unique albums showcasing their trajectory as a trio through the South American music ethos the Colombian powerhouse return to the scene of the crime with a solid set of high energy reversions of their most memorable tunes. Features tracks from their last three albums: Toma Tu Jabón Kapax (VAMPI 148CD), La Diversion que Hacia Falta en mi País (STAUB 145LP), and Historia Natural. Part of a new collaboration between Discrepant and Keroxen labels, firing up the less obvious island-made music into the wide world. Artwork by Paco Guillén Abrante. Recorded live by Jorge Lorenzo. Mixed and Mastered by Eblis Alvarez.
