Alma Negra
The Alma Negra collective consists of four incredibly versatile musicians, whose DJ and production prowess and pool of vast genre-defying musical knowledge lends their beats a distinctive sound, taking inspiration from jazz, afro-cuban music, and house.
With the launch of their new imprint “Alma Negra Records”, the collective curates a new platform to express their admiration for global music. The first Issue and first release on Alma Negra Records is dedicated to the unmistakable rhythms of Brazil.
Dreems
Multi Culti founder Angus, AKA Dreems, produces globally-aware pysch-house which breaks boundaries of convention to offer a pan-globo soulstyle for our times. Set for release this fall, Dreems’ self-titled debut album is a evidence of his knowledge of distant lands and music, taking you on a psychedelic voyage beyond all borders.
