Following on from his critically acclaimed 2019 solo album Poison Fruit (FARO 208CD/LP, 2019), Azymuth's iconic drummer Ivan "Mamão" Conti returns with Katmandu. Though it was recorded and mixed in the same sessions, "Katmandu" was mysteriously omitted by Mamão from the Poison Fruit album, either accidentally or on purpose, he's not quite sure. What is for sure is that it's one of the most potent poison grooves of them all. The original mix, produced by Daniel Maunick, accompanies remixes from three of mainland Europe's finest DJ/producer combos, prolific German nu-jazz collective Jazzanova, MCDE Recordings and Faces Records' Pablo Valentino, and Croatian house veteran Eddy Ramich with assistance from Zagreb duo Jan Kinčl & Regis Kattie. This EP is the second in a series of limited edition dance 12"s celebrating 25 years of Far Out Recordings and is housed in a special sleeve which uses the label's original semiquaver logo from 1994. 180 gram vinyl.

FARO 208X-LP

Last copies, RSD 2020 release. Far Out Recordings present a special "poisoned vinyl" edition of Ivan "Mamão" Conti's critically acclaimed Poison Fruit album. The 180 gram, splattered color LP is accompanied by an exclusive bonus 7" with a previously unreleased track from the original Poison Fruit sessions "Katmandu", and "Ninho", a track never before released on vinyl. From an artist in their seventies, you probably wouldn't expect to hear an album like this. But Brazilian drumming legend Ivan "Mamão" Conti has been experimenting and innovating for the last half a century. As one third of cult Rio jazz-funk trio Azymuth, Mamão was at the root of the group's "samba doido" (crazy samba) philosophy, which warped the traditional samba compass with jazz influences and space age electronics. Even with his lesser-known jovem guarda group The Youngsters, Mamão was experimenting with tapes and delays to create unique, ahead-of-its-time sounds, way back in the sixties. More recently Mamão recorded an album with hip-hop royalty Madlib under the shared moniker Jackson Conti. With his first album in over twenty years, and the first to be released on vinyl since his 1984 classic The Human Factor, Mamão shares his zany carioca character across eleven tracks of roots-y electronic samba and tripped-out jazz, beats, and dance music. Featuring Alex Malheiros and Kiko Continentino on a number of tracks, the Azymuth lifeblood runs deep, but venturing into the modern discotheque (as Mamão would call it), Poison Fruit also experiments with sounds more commonly associated with house and techno, with the help of London-based producer Daniel Maunick (aka Dokta Venom) and Mamão's son Thiago Maranhão. Take a bite of Mamão's psychoactive papaya and join the maestro on a weird and wonderful stroll through the Brazilian jungle.

United by a love for the music of Mamão and Azymuth, the CD version also features remixes and dubs from some of today's most forward-thinking producers with a penchant for percussion: IG Culture, the 22a crew (Tenderlonious), Max Graef, Dokta Venom, Reginald Omas Mamode IV, and Glenn Astro.

Back as strong as, or perhaps even stronger than ever before, Ivan "Mamao" Conti is releasing a forthcoming solo album due out next year. Now fitted with a new iron hip, the Azymuth drummer still remains one of the greatest and outright funkiest drummers alive anywhere. Far Out Recordings ease into the cosmic samba of his new album with a series of appropriately propulsive percussive jazz-headed remixes. For the second 12" of the series, they've enlisted two of the most on-fire producers in Germany: Max Graef and Glenn Astro, along with one of the UK's brightest ascendant producers, Contours.

Azymuth drummer Ivan 'Mamao' Conti's forthcoming self-titled solo project, remixed by West London broken beat pioneer IG Culture, alongside three future-funk remixes from 22a records family Tenderlonious, Reginald Omas Mamode IV and Jeen Bassa. Known by most as one third of Azymuth, his career spans far beyond with over half a century's worth for recordings. More recently, Mamao recorded an album with hip-hop royalty Madlib under the shared moniker Jackson Conti. This is the first, a strictly London affair, in a series of remixes to be spread across two separate 12"s in anticipation of Mamao's forthcoming release.
