After years of gathering in Berlin and beyond as one tribe to celebrate togetherness, diversity and the beauty of the natural world, A Tribe Called Kotori transcends into the next sphere with the inaugural release of its music label. With autumn upon us, its perfect timing for the label to bring the heat to these chillier months with its first release: Jena, a 3 track EP from the Brigado Crew.

With a nod to the Portuguese word Obrigado (thanks) and the wider collective of people and influences who allow the magic to happen, Argentinian duo Brian Harrison and Martin Kasall created Brigado Crew in 2012, and have been making waves in the electronic music scene ever since. Fusing the power of techno with playful percussion, Farah lures you in with solid basslines and circular crescendos. Gentle piano is complemented by spacey synths, building to gentle peaks but always retaining substance. Like the mountain systems of Central Asia, Hindu Kush travels you from the depths of the valley to a peaky zenith. Ubbah brings his characteristic deeper, darker influence to this track, maintaining Brigado Crews complex rhythms and mystical vocals.

Potently profound melodies woven with compelling strings are tempered by ritualistic percussion in Jena. Driving synths are the perfect foil for the lighter, more organic elements of this captivating track. Paradoxical yet paradaisic, we give thanks for the gift that is Jena: a multifarious EP which, in only three tracks, delivers urgent, organic dynamism. As the days grow shorter and the nights grow longer, A Tribe Called Kotori will return to a place of warmth and reflection as we mastermind the soundtracks for your winter – watch this space
