🪐 joining us for the second instalment of nep-tunes is also the artist to land in manchester on march 8th... @alex_dima__ ！

born and raised in a small town near turin, alex’s introduction to music was discovering hip hop at a young age. however, it was around 2007 when he discovered old tapes of 90s italian house djs that belonged to his parents - this is where his passion for electronic music formed. 

persevering in the world of repetitive beats, he quickly became a part of the well-recognised @outcast_torino crew. since joining, alex had the craving to improve his skills and knowledge within music. digging deep into what was ultimately achievable. in 2018, he began to work on @coordinate_records with close friends @__denaila and @bakked_bak . a place where they’re able to push and promote music from friends, talented newcomers and even themselves. 

we’re extremely grateful to alex for blessing us with this 75 minute mix - it’s wonderfully whacky, just how we like it 🖤

"KEEP ON MOVIN"  GUEST MIX BY JOSE' MANUEL

I have managed to save the very first "intro" hour of 4h set - batteries went off the recorder during the gig.

Recorded live at Tranan Stockholm 11-10-2024

Mastered in Kyiv by @leftie

Recording from Tranan Stockholm

45 and Digital available on Bandcamp: https://universalcave.bandcamp.com/album/joking

Brochure is a new collaboration between Gee Dee, Miles Felix, and Nick Stropko. For their debut release, they opted to cover Joking by Celine Lomez, originally featured in Soft Rock for Hard Times Vol. 7. Drenching the arrangement with synthesizers and opting to record the tune half-time, Brochure recontextualizes the song into a longing ballad.

Osprey 2 is the latest nom de guerre of @ryanmtodd aka Paul Atreides, Tom Guycot, Darklord Disco, half of Private Sea, founder of Going Home Records and an instrumental part of Universal Cave productions and parties for well over a decade. Osprey 2's Version Verrückt flips the longing ballad into a funky, driving krautrock number for Side B.

The @universalcave crew offers their Terrace Mix as a digital only bonus track. A stripped-down strummer for the summer, the Terrace mix is scenic overlook gear for the mind's eye.

Arrangement by Brochure
Mixed & Mastered by Miles Felix
Vocals, Drum Programming, Guitars by Gee Dee
Synths & additional production by Miles Felix & Nick Stropko
