Protect Your Energy

The room was cold and damp, only a few slivers of sun lit the space through the thick barred windows. He studied the mould on the ceiling, wondering how long it had been left to rot away. Like the rest of the room it was unkempt and ignored; a place intended to induce suffering. The circumstances that led him here were still unclear; just like that he'd been plucked from his life and plunged into darkness, with no answers to his never-ending circle of questions. What had he done to deserve this? Was it a case of mistaken identity? Would these four walls be the only thing he'd ever see again? Silence... All he could do was wait.

Two years on from his debut release for Milan's Kaleido imprint, Berlin-based Egyptian producer and vocalist tips his hat to the traditional sounds of his homeland with a six-track EP for Awkwardly Social. Afriki may draw from Arabian melodies and sounds but Azemad approaches these through a contemporary lens, blending them with crisp breaks, frenetic drum workouts, dub-wise atmospheres and his moody verses. You can hear a heap of different influences across the LP, from breakbeat, DnB and jungle to electro, dub and IDM, which help fashion a release that truly sounds like no other.

Open Mantissa 005 and you’ll find tracks from not one, not two.. or even three of the artists from prior releases. Wait a minute… you’re not saying all four artists from the previous releases have a track on this EP are you? Erm.. I think that might be what we’re saying. Shouts to Unknown Artist, Bex, Compliments and Ian DPM for the playful, high-energy squigglers.

Premiere: Ian DPM - Not 4 U [MANT005]

We’re excited to announce ‘Soon’ (MANT006), coming from debut artist, oliver. It’s a real honour to be chosen by an artist for their debut release, and we think you’ll enjoy the journey as he drifts between ambient, downtempo electronica, and techno.

'Possession', the stunning opening track, is an ethereal vignette capturing the melancholic atmosphere of late night and early morning. The EP's immersive title track, ‘Soon’, effortlessly layers pads and melodies that combine to provide moments of both introspection and euphoria. 'Tripped' and 'Melt' complete the EP's original material, and are as well suited to a Sunday drive as they are to the dance floor.

As is tradition Ian DPM, the previous EP artist, takes the lead on remix duties. Featuring on his 3rd consecutive Mantissa EP, he imprints his distinctive style on 'Possession', and expertly closes the record with a take that is vibrant, trippy and club ready.

Duffrey - 016 - Through the Streets

We are very pleased to unveil the long-awaited next release from Californian psytech guru Myad (aka Brandon Vazquez), 'The Moonlight Ritual'. Featuring 3 tracks of deep minimal psytech, this EP is a testament to the Myad sound that has kept the dusty desert dance floors full whenever this man takes the decks. 

This is also the 1st release in our brand new, psychedelic-leaning imprint, 'NOX'. With a focus on the more 'night-time' sounds of the Techgnosis Records spectrum, the NOX series of releases will be ensuring that fans and DJs of the genre will be kept stocked with fresh weapons!

Myad - Cleanse (Original Mix)

Created entirely from one original two bar break using re-sampling / hyper-edit techniques.
