Pachakuti and young.vishnu return with a new EP after their 2020 debut album „Semilla“. On „Cuentos Cortos“, they are crossing lo-fi beats, jazz and new age music with seemingly effortless ease and a smooth Latin twist. Based in Berlin and Hildesheim, our duo acts like a full-blown band with Pachakuti on sax, flute, piano, clarinet and harmonium and young.vishnu on bass, drums and percussion. For fans of Kiefer, FloFilz, Alfa Mist and Robert Glasper.
Pachakuti is a classically trained saxophonist and pianist with strong leanings towards Jazz and Latin music. young.vishnu is a beatmaker, arranger, sampleologist and the founder of the Nima Composition Archive. They both met briefly five years ago in Hildesheim and became friends during a road trip to the bask country. Pachakuti and young.vishnu formed a nine-piece band called the Soularkestra which became the nucleus of their new project that combines free- thinking grooves with strong messages about politics, identity, globalization and neocolonialism.
In 2020 they released their debut album „Semilla“ on Melting Pot Music. The record became an instant success amongst beat heads and jazz lovers alike. The limited LP edition (500 copies) sold out within weeks and several songs reached high positions in influential playlists on Spotify like „Jazz Vibes“, „Butter“ and „State of Jazz“. Pachakuti is also a long-time friend and musical companion of Berlin-based neo soul singer Douniah.
