Nixtamal presents Rüppell A sonic journey between matter, air and memory

French producer Nixtamal returns with Rüppell, a new EP released by Folcore Records, available on all digital platforms from October 11, 2025.
Comprising five original tracks, the artist delves deep into his sonic universe, where electronic dub, Afro-Latin rhythms, and organic melodies converge in a suspended space between body energy and the lightness of air.

Inspired by the Rüppell’s vulture —the bird known to reach the highest flight altitude on Earth—, this work evokes the need to breathe again, to rise, and to observe the world from a different perspective. Each track unfolds as a stage of this ascent: from the expansive calm of Volver a respirar, through the luminous spirituality of Las puertas del cielo and the rhythmic density of M H G, to the intimate emotion of Tu corazón and the hypnotic pulse of Punchin.

In Rüppell, Nixtamal reaffirms his hybrid identity, woven between contemporary electronics and tropical heritage, French dub and Latin imagination. It is a work where analog and digital textures coexist, where breathing percussion meets bass lines that resonate like a mantra.

Following his previous releases on Folcore Records —Perezoso (2015), Lucía (2016), Orishas (2018), and Pandora (2021)—, Rüppell marks a new stage of artistic maturity: a synthesis between sonic exploration and inner contemplation.
