about

Tavaly nyáron fogalmazódott meg a gondolat, hogy az addigra már évek óta érlelt Chillum Trio live act anyagát érdemes lenne lemezen, album formátumban is megjelentetni. A koncepció az volt, hogy próbáljuk meg minél pontosabban visszaadni az élőzések élményét, ezért egy félig-meddig mix album született, amin a hét szám külön-külön is működik, de a hatás a lemezt folyamatában hallgatva az igazi. A Random Rituals zenei világa a Chillum Trio korábbi anyagaihoz hasonlóan őrületesen sűrű és színes, a kortárs elektronika, a világzene és a klubzene egzotikus keveréke, de mégis van egy egységes karaktere, ami annak köszönhető, hogy egy évek alatt folyamatosan fejlődő live set-ből nőtte ki magát. Műfajilag alacsony tempós, organikus sivatagi house-ok, trópusi acidok, mély dubok, hipnotikus törzsi lüktetés és pszichedelikus epizódok jellemzik. Ahogy a stílusok, úgy a korszakok és kultúrák is keverednek: a 70-es évek jazz-funk-jától a 90-es évek tribal trance-én át a modern deephouse-ig, Perutól Pakisztánig, Szudántól Szenegálig, utazunk a kihangosított térben és időben.
Szekeres Géza, a Chillum Trio szíve és lelke a következőképpen foglalta össze a lemez esszenciáját:
„A Random Rituals nekem azt a paradoxont jeleníti meg, hogy a feltöltődések egyszerre lehetnek tervezettek és ad-hoc szerűek. A rítusokra jellemző egy kiszámítható forgatókönyv, de érhet a hatás váratlanul is, úgy, hogy kotta nélkül pörögnek az események. Nem te sétálsz a rituáléba, hanem ő jön hozzád, ugyanúgy megteremtve azt az állapotot, ami feltölt.”

Last summer the idea came up that the material of the Chillum Trio live act, which had been matured for years by then, would deserve a release on its own. The concept was to try to reproduce the experience of the live performances as close as possible, so a semi-mixed album was created, on which the seven tracks work separately, but the effect is best when listening to the record in its entirety. The musical world of Random Rituals is crazy dense and colorful, similar to Chillum Trio's previous releases, an exotic mix of contemporary electronics, world music and club sounds;s still, it has a unified character, which is due to the fact that it has grown from a live set that has been constantly developing over the years. Genre-wise, it is characterized by low-tempo, organic desert house, tropical acid drops, deep dub, hypnotic tribal beats and psychedelic episodes. Just like genres, eras and cultures are mixed as well: from the jazz-funk of the 70s, via tribal trance of the 90s to modern deep house, from Peru to Pakistan, from Sudan to Senegal: a real musical journey through space and time.
Géza Szekeres, the heart and soul of Chillum Trio, summed up the essence of the record as follows:
"Random Rituals shows me the paradox that recharges can be planned and ad-hoc at the same time. Rituals are characterized by a predictable scenario, but the effect can also be unexpected, so that events spin without a score. You don't walk into the ritual, but it comes to you, creating the same state that then fills you up."
