The artists’ first collaboration ventures listeners into nature’s unknown depths
Portuguese artists Pedro Martins and Tempura the Purple Boy have come together to release ‘Uncharted Elements,’ with pre-orders available on July 1st. The entire album will be available on July 14th and features tracks that fuse elements from various times and places to produce a previously unexplored sound space. DJ, producer, and founder of Karakter Records, Pedro Martins is a member of the Sinchi collective and works to challenge stereotypes of dance music through his collaborations and the label’s platform. Tempura the Purple Boy is the solo project of Bernardo Addario. He mixes electronic genres like organic house, acid, dark disco, and world music to unify disparate tastes and access deep emotion.
‘Uncharted Elements’ marks the first collaboration between the artists following their respective solo careers to this point. Pedro Martin’s previous work includes ‘Seven’ (Pedro Martins Remake) from 2022, the album ‘Broken Dreams’ from 2021, ‘Where is the Sun’ from 2020, and the album ‘Nova Lisboa’ from 2018. Tempura the Purple Boy’s previous work includes the album ‘Bandua’ and the single ‘Cinco Sentidos’ in collaboration with Edgar Valente this year, plus ‘Azul Assim,’ ‘Macelada,’ and ‘Onirologia III’ from 2021.
Their upcoming release is a product of influences that span gritty downtempo to atmospheric jungle. Each track is in honor of the unknown, fusing elements to create a unique space that unfolds in an unpredictable manner. Inspired by the knowledge that nature and the universe hold undiscovered elements, ‘Unchartered Elements’ merges dark and dreamy components to create an unexpected synergy between the artists’ styles.
