Mana Verde by Ninja Exotic Machine
_______VAI A CASA, SEI UBRIACO!
Bamboo Shows presents today the fourth and final opus of its 'vai a casa, sei ubriaco!' cassette series focusing on sunitty, an Italian reinterpretation of Fourth World Music through the prism of the world wide web.
_______ NINJA EXOTIC MACHINE – MANA VERDE
Amongst all the Italian encounters Bamboo Shows made over the years, here come Matteo Coffetti and Kakofonico under their moniker Ninja Exotic Machine. The Turinese duo plays a key role in the development of sunitty, both with their different musical projects and the vanguard leftfield bass label Pho Bho Records they run with Tundra & Federico Spini.
With their ‘Mana Verde’ LP, Matteo Coffetti and Kakofonico recount the fanciful ‘legend of the Mana Verde Forest’, thus depicting their porous vision of electronic music. In this enchanted lands, wacky improvisation meets the syncopated rhythms of Riddim and Dancehall, post internet weirdeleria echo with stretched vocals, and deep bass-lines bring the whole party to a contagious dancing mania.
‘Mana Verde’ is the final installment of the ‘vai a casa, sei ubriaco!’ series, extending this sunitty panorama from psychedelic ambient and folkloric noise to leftfield bass and post internet dancefloor materials. To be further explored in the dedicated mini-zine.
_______ MORE INFOS ABOUT ‘THE LEGEND OF THE MANA VERDE FOREST’
Mana Verde by Ninja Exotic Machine is a sonic folktale rooted in sunitty - a playful practice of microcomposition, digital folklore, and chaotic improvisation. Set in a mythical forest where junky elves, mucky rhythms, and wandering sounds collide, the album traces a surreal journey through ecstatic gatherings, collective metamorphosis, and lysergic communion.
Each track unfolds as a chapter in an ever-mutating mythology where the beat becomes a spell, nonsense reveals unexpected truths, identity dissolves into sound, and the forest itself learns to dance.
