Duro is honored to present the birth of the “Baba” brotherhood. During the last pandemic year, Rina traveled from Tel Aviv to Portugal, where he met Switchdance. After some trips around the beautiful city of Lisbon, plates and plates of hummus and samosa, a visit to pick up raspberries at a field that used to be a medicinal cannabis farm and lots of hours in Switchdance's studio, 'Baba Music Vol. 1' was alive.

The journey initiates with the Portuguese version of "Give Way", a cut that narrates the moment when you are in a high state of mind and try to describe the process to get back to reality. For this version the duo worked with vocalist Abrão, where a deep and resonant bass, a synthesized voice, electric and acid melodies, and distant pads run through the space. It’s followed by the Hebrew version of "Give Away" where Rina takes control of the vocals. 

"Reak" means "empty" in Hebrew, the cut refers to a state of consciousness where there is nothing in the brain. Playful percussion, acid basslines mixed with digitally distorted synthesizers create the sensation of breaking out reality, an experience blended with algorithms, binary codes and atomized sounds where it is hard to distinguish the realness. A roar to all the Babas around the world to gather on the dance floor. 

To consummate the brotherhood with an embellishment, master Jonathan Kusama came up with two versions of "Give Way". The first one is a futuristic and dystopian dub masterpiece, with distorted bass lines, shady vocals and liquid percussion. For the second version Kusama brings up the energy and keeps the bass flickering and harsh, mixed with mind-bending and unhinged synthesizers.

Len Faki is synonymous with contemporary techno. The Berlin based producer, DJ, and label owner resolutely does not fuck about. Known best for being a resident at Berghain, Faki's built a reputation as one of Europe's most fearsome selectors. A night with him's a rough ride. In the best way possible.

His latest release on his own label Figure Music is a steely, lithe, minimal wrecking ball of a record and we are absolutely delighted to be bringing you the premier of the title cut "Street Dub". Enjoy.

It’s back… Amassing heat every other month without fail, the V/A series has been a reassuring consistent source of dark, unbounded acid house and disco action. And for ‘Muy Duro 4’, the ante is raised again…

Heavier, more focused and more pensive than previous collections, for this ‘Muy Duro’ edition the pace and tone is set by a stone cold don Dino Lenny. An Italian legend across all techno disciplines, for ‘What A Sound’ he strips things back to their bare rumbling essentials with a twist of classic new romance intrigue.

He’s in good company… Austrian / Turkish duo Hanzo & Yaman follow up with the brain-tickling technoid ricochets of ‘Boonmee’ before Cabizbajo brings the murky melting pot back home to Mexico for a warped slab of rough-and-ready bass-licked tech.

Finally in the fourth and most forthright ‘Muy Duro’ collection we see Theus Mago link with good friend Persona for demonstrative acid stomp. And we could all do with a stomp right now, right?

Six months and four volumes deep; the ‘Muy Duro’ series continues...

PREMIERE: Jesse Bru - Meditative State [Happiness Therapy]

Despite the challenges and weirdness of the year, boundary-blazing bandoleros Duro continue to shoot through 2020, all-pistols-blazing. Releases have fired from all corners but one of the strongest themes has been the ‘Muy Duro’ volumes. The Mexican label’s flagship V/A series, each EP digs deep into the dark disco psyche, celebrating the label’s widest sonic outposts and reference points with friends and shared spirits from across the world, old and new. Marking a year of the series, with tracks from Israel to Istanbul, ‘Muy Duro Volume 5’ is certainly no exception.

Veteran cosmic groover Tim Paris makes his long-awaited debut with the slouching funk and broken drum swagger of ‘Better Slightly Unchanged’ before two more collaborations join the party with their Duro debuts, all hailing from Israel; Middle Sky Boom and AckerMan whisk us through the stars on ‘Temp Goes High’ while Rina X Benji pay homage to mind alteration on the electroid bumps and asteroid grinds of ‘Koshmaro’.

Professional belly dancers and long-time friends of Duro Hanzo & Yaman follow with ‘Hokus Pokus’. A springy, playful slab of house music laced with pitched bells and a riser that teases and teases, there’s a late 90s/early 200s mischief to this that, like the label itself, just won’t quit. The final word comes from the label bossman Theus Mago and French brother-in-arms Id!r… And that word is techno. Deep bleeps and endless pulsations, ‘Soft Light’ is an epic moment of pure late night hedonism that sits somewhere between Bobby Peru and Plastikman. Blazing boundaries and still fully loaded, the Duro bandoleros keep on shooting.
