After ten years of releasing with Alliance Ethnik, and ten more of various and eclectic collaborations, plus a solo album with Wax On, Guts introduces you, in collaboration with Mambo the painter, to the Art&Music project called  “ Freedom”, on Guts´s own label Pura Vida.

“Freedom” is an album of bipolar music, dark, yet coloured, oscillating between joy of living and melancholy. The result, as in Guts life, is a musical and emotional voyage. Just like DJ Shadow, Guts albums are entirely composed with samples. In “ Freedom”, for the first time, he lets the samples talk, in order to have them express his thoughts.

This brings on a more conscious and committed conception of beatmaking. He affirms his difference, trying to personalize his music with new messages and sounds.

This way, he tries – with his own words,  to enrich this HipHop getting poorer. As Keith Haring used to say, “I see in my music something that will last and give joy of living”.

Mambo, on his side, is indefinable: Graffiti artist in the beginning, street artist at the Centre Pompidou, painter at the Galerie Agnès B, designer for different brands, illustrator for Canal+ Grosland, graphic designer, he travelled the world with his talent under his arm/in a backpack. Right before leaving for an exhibition in Rio, he has created for “ Freedom” a whole graphic universe overflowing with imagination, you will discover in the inner sleeves of the album.

Guts: “We love what we do way too much to treat our followers as mere consumers, or to abuse/mistreat their ears. From the beginning, our mission has been to offer the best quality in every step of the creative process.  In order to fight against the impoverished sound of dematerialized music, I chose to provide the 2 best supports available nowadays, which are vinyl and cd,  tied together in one packaging.

Freedom is also the possibility of choice. To discover Guts mew world, you can also visit www.analoglife.fr .”
