Originally released in 1966, Meet The Mahotella Queens was the debut record from a group of South African studio vocalists led by the gruff and groaning voiced Simon "Mahlathini" Nkabinde and a rotating trio of backing female harmonies. In the 60s, the Queens and their “King” performed a new style of Zulu jive music called mgqashiyo with roots in early traditional upbeat ethnic dance music of Johannesburg.

The third single from Nashville ambient composer Rich Ruth’s upcoming full length, Calming Signals is named after the abandoned C.I.A. spy station outside of Berlin that is featured on the front cover of the record. The circular, digital sequences of “Teufelsberg” induce an ethereal hypnosis with Ruth’s calming interstitial ripples of synthesizer warbles.
“The compound used to be a Nazi base that was buried in rubble by women after the war. Now the listening towers are decaying and covered in outlandish art pieces. I visited in 2018 and had a very surreal, psychedelic time. The piece is representative of how I felt that day.”
-Michael Rich Ruth

“For the past decade or so, Mt. Davidson has cultivated his songs and sounds, attempting to create a bridge, a meeting place, between the terrestrial and the mystic. He is a ponderous and delicate sort of creature, short and vaguely leonine, who has spent most of his young life abiding in the midlands of transcendence.”
