WRACK - Yozakura (SHE Spells Doom Remix)

For the first release of the year, Manchester-based imprint Club Romantico is set to team up with Manuka Honey for her label debut. The two-track release ‘Machete/777’ is set to release on the 3rd of March and includes collaborations with label founder Florentino and La Favi. 

Born out of a breakup, the release captures the feeling of revenge and the rage of women as Manuka Honey reclaims the tropes of Latina women being sexualised and vilified as aggressive. "It’s a reflection on revenge and protection. The ways they go hand in hand, and how catharsis can manifest sonically. Rage is the haunting yet clear emotion that ties these tracks together,” says Manuka Honey. ‘Machete’, in collaboration with Florentino, sees Manuka Honey use her voice for the first time. On the flip, ‘777’ is a dramatic team up with Latin Grammy award winner La Favi. 

‘Machete/777’ is the beginning of a busy year for Manuka Honey who will be embarking on a Machete tour from the 23rd February, traveling across Asia, before a string of summer festival dates including REWIRE, Sonar and Melt Festival.

Nothin Free

I made the original version of this one years ago, I think around 2013. At the time I was listening to a lot of Underground Construction, earlier gabber, and other obnoxious, barbarian music. I guess this was an attempt to make some hard house. A demo got passed around to a few friends, some seeming to like it (not sure why, it sucked!). Back then it was all drums, just a little mixing tool. It had the WORST kick ever, like a fucking wet paper towel hitting a cardboard box. The snare rolls came from a really dodgy, low-bitrate 4shared reggaeton sample pack, which I used for most of my early tracks. I added a vocal sample, a much better kick, and a few other sounds, but left it pretty stripped down for its original purpose.
