Today, Oliver Koletzki continues unveiling his upcoming album, Made Of Wood, with another set of singles, Made Of Cashmere and Serpiente Del Ritmo. These new compositions showcase just how dynamic the longform s concept of handcrafted electronic music is. The pack begins with a shimmering Made Of Cashmere, which leans toward the melodic techno Koletzki s label Stil Vor Talent is known for with hypnotic arpeggios and complex synth layers. True to the theme, however, these elements are balanced out by orchestral pads and wooden drum patterns beneath. Serpiente Del Ritmo, featuring ELIH on vocal duties, offers a more organic look at Made Of Wood, with its Spanish lyrics and thick layers of piano, percussion, and horns taking listeners straight to the jungles of Tulum that inspired it.

Before and after its revolution, Cuba s soul has been found in its music, says SOPHIA DEBOICK
Despite existing in a silo for decades, Cuban music has swept the world. The long-standing post-revolution embargo has seen artists struggle to get visas to play in the all-important US, and the thaw of relations begun by the Obama administration has been rolled back under Trump, but Cuban rhythms have proved irresistible and artists from the capital and cultural centre of the island in particular have received international recognition.
