"Poolside Pearlers" includes six sun-spun productions best served poolside. Proto Exotica’s maiden compilation dips into shimmery jazz, acid-tinged breaks, low-slung downtempo, and the sweet spot between Balearic and ambient.

Each track is an asynchronous contribution from friends across the Asia-Pacific region: Mori Ra, Sonder Plains, Tucan Discos, Bongomann, Max Hammur, and Gold Suite. By taking away the barriers of location and time, self-paced collaboration let each sound breathe in, breathe out and find its natural place.

All Bandcamp and record sale profits will be shared equally among the artists.

Limited pressing of 150 records

Releasing 18th September 2025

We are closing this eventful year with one last EP by a new signing to our roster. With releases on top labels like Innervisions, Stil vor Talent, Atjazz Records or Sum Over History, he has showcased his talent more than once by combining modern techno and house with afro house elements, in order to create his very own and distinctive style. 

The man we are talking about, who has delivered a mind blowing three tracker with his "Devil's Den EP" is the Dutch Rancido and we are happy to have him on Connaisseur now.  The title track "Devil's Den" is a reduced afro-tech monster with striking percussion elements and an incredibly deep and demanding groove. Since Human Machine used this tune in their podcast for Muting The Noise, this track hs been on the wish-list of many music lovers. The second installment "Patterns/Symbols" is a catchy builder with an alluring melody and clattering percussion. We are sure this will be on heavy rotation the in next weeks. With "Redemption" he has delivered an epic state-of-the-art Afro-House track and a perfect closing tune for this lovely EP.

Three way collaboartions are a rare thing, having three minds work on one project os tough because you don't always agree. Howeveree when you all agree and you are certain about what you are doing then tracks like "Keep It Turning" are created. Enjoy the First song on Erefaan's Label, Things We Make.

With our 16th instalment we introduce NYVS on his debut EP on Chocolat Records. A sultry and groovy introduction is on hand with a 2 track delight. 

The titled number “Avahria Field” gets us off on CR016. Raw and swinged percussion sets the tone with balearic strings and panned synth droplets. A deep and satisfying baseline is announced at the drop of the first break, in harmony with the sense of wonder created with the elements. A solid groover with a touch of class. 

On the flip side NYVS gives us Bohemian dropout. Mood setting congas, pads and ambient atmospheres takes us into worlds unknown. A deep and moody baseline sets us in motion to be might by a beautiful brass lead. This surreal arrangement heightens the senses with some style.
