‘The Way It Sounded That Day’ is an album recorded and composed in Tokyo, Berlin, and Nebraska between 2010 and 2016. Cities, nature, cultures, people; all moving together in inexorable techno rhythm.

As these silent moments build, intuition spreads its wings. Up, open, outward, onward at the pace of life - one moment at a time.

The trail is marked by lightness, newness, feelings of space. Windows to the world where there have only been walls.

We hope you enjoy this track as much as we do.

Release twenty-six on Manjumasi comes from Norweigan artist Øyvind Vie Berg, aka Arnodd. On the Bulder EP he presents three originals with beautiful sound design and impressive narrative arc. Each of these tracks tells a story, with melodic elements weaving together with dark percussion and a strong sense of atmosphere.

Title track Bulder is the darkest of the EP, with a very strong percussion laying the foundation for haunting, mysterious melodic elements and a deep, rumbling bassline. Next up is Sun, which lightens the mood, exploring brighter territory with a more optimistic, uplifting lead section. Finally, the third original Kjedelig slows things down, using a lower tempo to really emphasize the groove, with delayed hi-hats stuttering over a very hypnotic bassline that anchors the whole track.

Rounding out the EP is a wonderful remix from the Dutch producer Love Over Entropy, which defies any simple genre categorization. This down-tempo interpretation of Sun turns this piece of music into a real cinematic affair, with the bell-tone melodics of the original wrapped up in a warm blanket of continuously evolving pads and sonic details.

Arnodd - Sun (Love Over Entropy Remix)

Belgian project State of Low debuts on the label with a heartfelt 3 tracker original EP, which screams old school grooves and emotions from the beginning to the very end. All pieces are heavily filled with melancholic feels, while also balanced out by housey baseline patterns and crisp percussion textures as well as spot on vocal samples, that will fill your lo-fi heart with ease. Each sound sits very tightly in the story and the complete package is emitting ambiences and nostalgic vibes for the listener to get lost into.

RAMMÖ & Jim Rider - Esperança [XYZ042]
Release Date - 09.03.21
Stream - https://xyzlabel.lnk.to/Esperanca

RAMMÖ makes his debut on XYZ alongside a pillar of the label’s output thus far - Jim Rider. The ever-reliable London to Amsterdam connection is on full display, as the two prodangled uction partners conjoin their staples of sound, which have graced the likes of TRYBESof, Klassified, and Kindisch respectively. For their first project together, they’ve set sights on the bountiful borders of Brazil to form the backbone of influence and inspiration on the Esperança EP.

The A-side opens with rhythmic percussions setting an organic framework, while a round and punchy bassline welcomes electronic tones to the fore. Brazileiro vocal chops summon immense character as the track starts to swirl into a synth-laden groover. Resting perfectly at the centerpoint of modern dance touch and timeless musical homage, Esperança is an instant classic. 

Felicidade continues to thread the needle between innovative production and sensational latin flavors. Serene vocals float along, lulling us into a delightful daze before an acidic underbelly ignites a two-step. Energy elevates throughout this dance-driven riser via the playfully filtered bassline, positioning the B-side as an understated and irresistible club weapon.

Madmotormiquel kicks off the EP’s remix offerings with his deeply psychedelic odyssey. As one of Berlin’s finest, he knows better than most the need for heady cuts that keep minds moving. Whether at Fusion or Garbicz, he’s sure to set things in motion with his remix of Felicidade.

Closing out a sumptuous project, Sound Shapes take the reins on Esperança. The Milan-based duo is making waves of late, with releases on the likes of Stil Vor Talent and Gardens of Babylon. Crisp percussion sprinkles over a vivacious low end, as progressive tones have their remix aimed straight at the dancefloor.
