Soul Alchemist & CACO
Tell us more about yourself & your music career? Soul Alchemist graduated from Garnish Music Production School, studied at LARS (Los Angeles Recording School) in audio production and engineering, charted 15 tracks in 2023, and played alongside prominent names in the Afro scene like Black Coffee, Blondish, Pablo Fierro, and many others. Martini, the name behind Soul Alchemist, is just a guy from South Brazil who loves producing music, practicing yoga, hitting the gym, reading books, and meditating. CACO is a fantastic person, one of the best I’ve met in my lifetime as an artist, with impeccable education, values, and manners. He quickly became of great importance to me, playing in the best clubs in South Brazil alongside the greatest DJs, including Black Coffee and LAOLU. He performed many times at Warung Beach Club, Posh Club, Amaite, etc.
Write a short paragraph about your RELEASE? “Ivy’s Piece” is a collaboration that focuses on an ethnic, Middle Eastern vibe. The track features a groovy feel with a touch of jazz in the breakdown, incorporating majestic organs and pianos. On the other hand, “Hathor’s Realm” is more melodic, reflecting a progressive vibe throughout the arrangement.
What is your connection with Cafe De Anatolia? My family. We charted many tracks last year and hope to do it again this year. It is an honor for us to be part of this big family that helps aspiring artists like me and CACO showcase our work and strives to deliver the best always. Now is the time for CACO to join this big family with our release, Ivy’s Piece. Thank you, CDA.
How do you stay motivated and inspired to continue creating music, especially during times when inspiration might be elusive? I believe that staying motivated and inspired comes with developing great habits and a powerful routine that exposes you to daily sunlight, quality food, mindful practices, and exercise. Meditation and exercise have always been my go-to things to stay sharp in the studio, and I believe they are crucial for every human being in the world.
How would you describe your style of music? Our style of music is a mix of CACO’s strong desert house influence combined with a crazy versatility to produce all kinds of genres, from organic to melodic techno and everything in between, hahaha.
What has been your biggest career highlight so far? I believe that playing alongside big names like Black Coffee, LAOLU, Blondish, and many other artists has been a significant highlight for both me and CACO. Additionally, CACO played at Burning Man and took our music along, so even though I was not there, my music was, and I am very happy for him and for us.
