somewhere... in the jungle

radd - Somewhere In The Jungle [MZRRECVA01]

Support here: https://iglo1.bandcamp.com/album/tau

Figure is excited to welcome IGLO to the roster, a promising new talent in techno. With a background in classical music, IGLO began his journey with the renowned Thomanerchor Leipzig before moving on to play guitar in bands. His diverse musical experience informs his unique approach to techno, merging classical influences with modern electronic production. On his debut EP for Figure, IGLO presents a collection of tracks that showcase his skill in blending solid rhythms, deep atmospheres, and rich textures. The opening track, Neverplace, introduces the EP with dubby chords and rave-inspired vocals, setting a late-night tone with emotional depth. Recovery follows, featuring a groovy bassline and a spoken word sample that enhances the track’s immersive feel. In Tell Me Everything, IGLO moves into snappier rhythms, with looping elements and a distant vocal that adds a mysterious edge. Introspection stands apart with IGLO’s own singing voice, paired with analogue rhythms that create a smooth, reflective flow while maintaining steady momentum. The two digital bonus tracks, Dispersity and Solitude, close the EP with steady, rumbling beats and tight rhythms, keeping the energy grounded and focused while engaging the dancefloor. IGLO’s debut on Figure reflects his ability to merge emotional depth with forward-thinking techno, marking a strong start for this exciting new artist.

Introducing the inaugural release from the freshly launched SIDE B  imprint, rkeat takes the reins with a striking four-track EP that sets the  tone for what’s to come. Beginning as an event series, the Portuguese  label makes way for no nonsense, driving club records and the first  release is nothing if not that. Hybrid in spirit, rkeat delivers a refreshing  take on techno that remains persistent in percussion but explorative for  everything else. The seasoned producer pushes precisely designed  texture to the forefront and lets the rest follow in suit, creating an  intriguing and versatile track sequence. With each chapter, rkeat is able  to blend razor-sharp textures with intricate sound design, letting every  sonic detail shine through. 

The first side of ‘Indol’ sees spaced out elements creating a theme  packed with elusive melodic work and enticing ambiances. Moving  forward with impactful percussion, rkeat guides us through an  ecosystem of sound with a twist at every turn. ‘End Of Tips’ on the  second side of the record is a bit more extraverted, with rolling basslines  and sixteenth hi hats. Opening up his record with groove while  maintaining his sonic direction from the A Side, rkeat then closes the  record in obscurity, offering the title track ‘Indol’. A cheeky hybrid of  genres, this last chapter combines syncopated rhythms and breaks with  early German techno experiments. Impressive in weight, ‘Indol’ ends the  EP as a truly compelling debut that promises an exciting future for the  label and its roster.

Concept Text: 
Welcome to the Jungle. ANIMA Records follows up its debut release with JUNGLE [002].  As part of our mission to connect the world with a global techno sound - We are releasing one of the first ‘Concept’ Techno LP’s.  Paired with equally psychedelic artwork, the ‘JUNGLE’ release is inspired by organic sounds, lush world rhythms, and a focus on producers based in warmer climates. We feature music from Brazil, Uruguay, Malta, Australia and much more - as we take the focus away from club environments, to the places where the sun can shine, a clave pattern pushes the beat forward, and the heat is welcome.  ‘JUNGLE’ is our next step in offering the future of dance music something fresh and different.
