FMB Mixtape 184 | SUCHI

“Sludgy but meditative vibes, travelling through textured ambient, dub, downtempo, acid, bass and dnb.”

We’re joined by Bristol-based producer and DJ, @manami-b, who’s been making waves on the scene since moving to the city four years ago. She’s shared the stage with the likes of Soichi Terada, Ben UFO and Bicep and has showcased her comprehensive and eclectic sets in her residencies on Worldwide FM and Noods radio, Abergavenny’s Come Bye Festival, Amsterdam’s The Hague and Glastonbury. She also co-runs ‘Better Days’, a Bristol based party with Anil Chohan.

Enjoy!

Hue & Saturation Mix 031: Manami

In anticipation of Love International 2022, we’re launching Transmission to Tisno – a b2b mix series featuring festival favourites and new artists locked in for this year’s fifth anniversary event.

Touching down with a bag of heavy-duty heaters, Manami and Tai Lokun position themselves at the intersection between house, techno and the broader brush strokes of percussion-driven material in this dynamic mix. A non-stop frenzy of dancefloor-certified cuts spun by a pair of future stars.

Big Zen makes his entrance on Mood Hut records with Prayer Bass, a freely focused collection of euphoric funk-splashed club-cuts from the much-loved Vancouver underground legend. Those who have seen him play at free parties in the park or at the many under-cover basements of Vancouver City will already know what Prayer Bass is all about. 

After many sessions and years of friendship both on and off the dance floor we are pleased to finally work with Big Zen. Following up his recently self-released 'Mirror Cut' 12" here Big Zen continues to swim out into the technicolour deep: Prayer bass is purple, Sugar Coated is frosty cream, Cash Splash is lightning blue, Rumble Ball is tangerine.

SLUMP004 lands from another South London based producer and DJ. @otusdj is a multitalented musician and producer who writes and arranges dazzling dance floor records that are entirely made using synths. Recording and re-sampling clips and beeps to craft his drums - that marry effortlessly with his lush harmonic writing. Juniper / Zinnia have both provided joyous club moments over the last 7-8 months in numerous demo forms, and now it's a privilege to be sharing these tracks with the world.

Next up in the series we have Antwerp local Supreems. His productions have been circling the globe for a few years now, receiving support from some big players in the scene like Bicep, Four Tet, Ross From Friends and Solomun, just to name a few. His releases have allowed him to zig-zag across Europe and play in some of its finest clubs, with Berghain Panoramabar as cherry on the cake. To say that we are delighted to have him contribute to our series is an understatement. 

Contrary to his productions, Supreems’ DJ-sets are a bit more eclectic, heavily influenced by the UK-scene in all its beauty and complexity. The man weaves together different genres and emotions seamlessly, leaving you wanting more, even after the 2h30 mix he made for us. With his debut album on the horizon and his latest Being EP sounding beautiful as ever, he certainly is one to watch. Have a taste of what’s to come and tune in to our Hot Series with Supreems.

Lush and evocative, this mix from LUXE evokes a certain sense of wonder.

Built exclusively from the London-based DJ, producer and composer's own productions, it's a classy set from a rising artist, who draws from both her classical background and her more endeavours in electronic music across a spread of tracks that maintain a danceable through-line.

Intrinsic Rhythm is proud to present a new EP by John Heckle entitled "Return To Titan" and the first on the the label from a different artist other than label owner Tr One.

This will be John's first release under his own name for a number of years and also includes a remix by Michigan techno visionary John Beltran.

The EP kicks off with "A" where energetic skillful production combines with Chicago and Detroit influences to concoct a brilliant mix of styles very much focused on the floor.

Next up is 7C where melodic bass and chords merge together to offer a brilliant whimsical approach towards analogue music that only John has mastered over previous releases.

Following this is the brief and one of the most beautiful tracks on the EP entitled "DSI" where building strings engage with soft percussion and kickdrum interplay to pull the listener in to the musicality on show.

On the B side we kick off with the beatless and ambient driven "CII" where 8 minutes of melodic density and synth interplay swirl between crescendo and musical culmination.

Finally John Beltran steps up and delivers a beautifully hypnotic club ready version of "A" where the Michigan artist teases between Detroit techno elegance and organic flair to show why he is one of electronic music's all time great producers.

Available on limited vinyl.

Premiere: Primrose ‘1980 Dream’
