We are more than delighted to welcome Martini to W133. After appearances on Kindergarten Records and Early Reflex, the NYC-based producer delivers three uniquely well-crafted originals for the Berlin imprint.

Kicking off the EP on A1 is "Liquorice." The track starts with captivating ambient sounds and playfully develops into a breaky tribal adventure, paving the way for the EP title-giving track that is "Aqua Pura." You can feel the power of crystal-clear water bursting through your speakers, and tension building while the track develops. Mechanical noises and sci-fi sounds decorate the bass-heavy yet also playful baseline. On A3, the third and last original track, "Lounge Lizard," creeps into your ears very subtly and sneakily. High foreign-sounding arpeggiated melodies twirl around your head, and you get lost in the sound when suddenly a high-energy switch drops in and makes you want to move your reptile extremities.
Moving on to the B-Side, you can find 2 remixes. The first one by label-papa-pino is a driving housy interpretation of „Lounge Lizard“ with that special tribal touch he is known for but keeping the unique melodies from the original. 
On B2, also NYC-based Palitra presents his version of „Liquorice“, a slower and very thought-through piece that keeps you dreaming until it fades out.

The EP will be available as a limited 25-copy dubplate run as well as digitally. The vinyl comes in fully printed cover sleeves with analogue photography by Freya Gerz.

Release Date: 8.3.2024

Four years since the release of the bass-heavy 'Lemma1' EP, Norwegian born producer Tobias Sørensen Urhaug aka O.M. Theorem and label head Aarti Kriplani line up the first of two remix packages, delivering two VIP reworks and a pair of weighty remixes from Bristol-based producer Ossia and Sex Tags Mania kingpin DJ Sotofett.

He's back. After a break that felt like an eternity, @Cuthead has finally awoken from his creative beauty sleep to check up on his home base Uncanny Valley with his new album THE DETOUR. To avoid overexciting everyone’s attention span, the album is spread over four parts. And he's definitely not coming back as a cheapskate since the album is full of gifts that true Cuthead fans desire. In other words, he does what he does best: Blasting out slick tracks that oscillate between laid-back underground hip-hop, sample heavy house and vintage acid, but with enough surprises along the way. The tracks were created over the last few years, including some jams from his live set that he made while travelling or in a hotel.

As soon as the typical cozy, warm chords kick in during the INTRO of The Detour Part 1, you immediately feel at home again in Cuthead's world, where it's always Saturday afternoon and laid-back jams drip out of the speakers (at least on two of the four parts). On top of that, Chester Watson from St. Louis (one of Cuthead's absolute favorite rappers) provided a feature. With his distinctive voice and dreamy flow, Chester explains in not one but two versions of PROCEED how to carry on and stay relaxed despite adverse circumstances. TOUR DE FRANCE, on the other hand, is a trapstrumental for the masses in which a hi-hat thunderstorm is intertwined with a wind sample that constantly twists around itself.

The second in Cuthead's tetralogy is what we can certainly call a house monster. It starts with a track named after one of Cuthead’s special skills: MPC JAM. With its filter attacks and unmistakable drops, the track builds on Cuthead's great house floor fillers, leaving no ass standing still. SUNDAY 5 PM enters the floor like a bird of paradise with room-filling disco strings, before SPACED OUT follows with Theo Parrish-like grooves. MIDNIGHT ROUTE closes The Detour Part 2 with broken beats and an unusual but irresistible electronic bassline.

The opener of the third part once again praises the old promise of the House Nation, not without ZUBU being refined with the very own Cuthead spin, which definitely puts the track on a techno floor as well. POWER ACID lives up to its name and comes across as a classic warehouse acid screw that takes every rave to the edge. Understatement is also not required with PARTY LIKE IT'S 99. After all, every Saturday afternoon is followed by a Saturday night and a piano house bomb with a little ounce of acid always goes down well on such an occasion.

The final chapter of THE DETOUR opens promisingly and in typical Cuthead style with the aptly titled BONKERS and the kind of weirder head-nodding beat that only the Dresden resident can squeeze out of his samples. In LISOLEIL, Malone the Chemist drops his lines over what feels like an aquatic jazz foundation. Cuthead spotted the Canadian rapper when he posted a freestyle under a tweet from Flying Lotus. After that, the snares are turned up again in the sample fest that is FOXY. OUTRO is almost epic by Cuthead standards and could easily be the soundtrack to a modern giallo film.

The album is accompanied by beautiful animations created in collaboration between illustrator Robert Deutsch and animator Tobias Kramer.
