Basic Moves 14 2×12″+7″

With her DJing and creative project Automagicalley on hiatus, Adi’s 2020 has been home to
a slower kind of alchemy – the creative processing of two years’ worth of musical sense
impressions into the basic fact of a needle on a record.
Our dear Walrus tells the story best:
“Adi picked me up from El Dorado airport around Christmas 2018. I remember that moment
stuck in a hot summer traffic jam, both of us laughing at the rattling from the trunk of her
dad’s car – good ears! That evening we played outside under a lemon tree at one of the first
Automagicalley events, a wonderful b2b full of curiosity and honesty about art, spirituality
and life. Fast forward through some Europe trips – of course including a Basic Moves party –
and we arrive at this mini album. The fruit of half a year of friendly exchange between Adi,
me and our magical mix engineer Chris ‘Funk’ Ferreira, it reveals Adi’s authentic spirit –
always moving, forever creating and endlessly believing.”
Adi herself explains the many emotions and headspaces influencing her process: the
self-reflective loop of lockdown, the ebb and flow of working alone and with others, the
despair of conflict and endings, the dizzy optimism of a Don Cherry album. Now these
feeling-frequencies can be heard even louder around the globe.
