candomblé
Düsseldorf-based record label. Founded in 2015 by Arisona Kaschiel Hampl, Philipp Tegtmeier Lopes, and me. We were later joined by Aki Vierboom, Gregor Darman, Leo Horres, Sebastian Welicki, and Timo Spicker. What started as a streetwear brand quickly evolved to focus primarily on music. Events at venues like Salon des Amateurs, Golzheim, Cube, and Kammer helped finance our first vinyl releases. Over the following years, we put out nine vinyl EPs and albums. While most releases and constellations like LSW and the Phaser Boys, were formed by candomblé members and their closer circle, other releases featured external constellations from Paris and Berlin.

'Esculturas Rupestres' by Cass. & Niklas Wandt (2021)
Niklas Wandt and Niklas Rehme-Schlüter (Cass) are two multi-instrumentalists and genuine musical minds that work on the fringes of ambient, kraut, jazz and experimental electronics. Both were active in numerous projects as well as solo artists, before joining forces for this special recording to be released on candomblé. „Esculturas Rupestres“, Spanish for „Rock Sculptures“, delivers an enchanting collage of spoken word, ancient drumming, synth ambi(val)ence and free improvisation. N. Wand serves you dada poetry and stoned drum grooves while N. R-Schlüter provides for the synthesized atmosphere present throughout this recording.
