Hidden Folder Catalogue

On our seventh release, Man/ipulate encapsulates Watatsumi’s spirit, the legendary water dragon. Known as the ruler of the seas and god of the oceans, he would control storms and rainfalls, protect its waters and transform into animals and human forms making him one of the most influential creatures in Japanese mythology.

Our sensei Man/ipulate starts with ‘Dimension’ a perfect gem filled with swinging percussions and groovy rhythms, followed by ‘1st Date’, which is definitely to look forward to. On the flip-side comes ‘Watatsumi’, an absolute charm as if it were controlling the sea’s movement from calm to storm. To end things in beauty, ‘Make It Sweat’ literally speaks for itself, a powerful punchy track delivering the dragon’s message from his underwater palace.

----------
'The back end of summer will see Italian DJ and producer Christopher Ledger inaugurate his own Hidden Folder label. A new and innovative project that will see Christopher enter uncharted territory embracing the versatility of his sound by releasing various strains of emotive house and progressive, entities which can also be found in his sets in recent times. The 001 release wanders through four distinct cuts from Ledger (one of those digital only), and in addition, there is a classy and uplifting remix from Danish producer C.K, a key member of the famous 2 Bit Crew. 

The opening track “Initialization” is constructed upon tight and punchy drum patterns, conversing perfectly with the elasticated bass line that drives the track. Melt in your mind synths glistening throughout. The aptly named “Lunar Empathy” enters the room next, an enormous energy is created by the Rome-based beatmaker. Dusty nostalgic drums and plucky bass change-ups make this a journey for the moments. 

“A Deeper Thought” leads the way on the B side, an intricately arranged quest, transcending its listener, but yet still moving the dance floor. A beautiful combination of depth and drive, a key component of Ledger’s current sound. C.K remixes “A Deeper Thought” steering it in a new direction, and inspirational house exploration looking to lift the vibe, oozing with feel-good energy. Sitting as a digital-only track is the irresistible groove, “Logical Form”, a playful and animated addition to the EP, which will sit comfortably within collections far and wide this year. 

Landing on wax with a limited press of 40 copies and on digital, Christopher embarks on an exciting new chapter of his career, further cementing himself as a stand-out producer of modern times, never shying away from straining the boundaries of his sound and implementing this all into his craft as a DJ.'
