Cinematique is proud to present the next release. We welcome back our friends of 10dens for their final EP.

Yes, you've read it right: final EP. Earlier this year the duo unfortunately decided to stop making music as 10dens due to musical differences and the distance between the cities where they live. They've chosen to continue their friendship instead of risking it because of the music and the conflicts it sometimes brought along, something we can only respect. So let's think about all the good memories and wonderful music they've left. It will be followed for sure by new and exciting solo stuff of both Michael and Jurriën.

Having said that, we are honored to bring you this final 10dens release. Although their last full EP was released in the early days of the label, back in 2011, we have always considered them as close members of the Cinematique family. After their well acclaimed EP 'When the Skyline Crumbles' we've had the pleasure to release some loose tracks on Midnight Beats, remixes and especially their beautiful version of CardioWave's 'Dark Room' together with NY Fan. We are sure this final release will be a brilliant addition to their impressive discography and of course we do wish them both all the best with their future productions.

10dens Ft Velb - Scila (192 kbps)

As a Brooklyn-based breaks DJ and producer of Vitamin B, NYC’s longest-running (and also only) breaks party, I always viewed Breakfast of Champions as the great white buffalo of parties. Could it be true, what they said? Did people really come out fully costumed first thing in the morning on New Year’s Day? Did they really shut down full city blocks? Were the numbers really in the thousands? Most important: did people really dance, or did they just stand there smoking cigarettes and taking selfies?

With curiosity in the critical cat-killing stage, my wife and I booked plane tickets and snagged ourselves posh accommodations on a friend’s air mattress in the Mission. Then something happened that made me have to change my pants twice…the Space Cowboys released the DJ line-up, and I was on it!

Playing Breakfast of Champions was an all-time dream come true. I was on at 11:30 in the side room at Mighty, and as soon as I dropped my first track the room filled with west coast friends I hadn’t seen in millennia (or, y’know, since Burning Man). Things got sweaty. Things got crunk. Booties were shaken and drinks were stirred. Asses were smacked (consensually, natch). Dudes got down. Shorty got low. I dropped Joe Walsh and the Doobie Brothers. There was even a guy on the couch who slept through the entire thing!

Afterward, I stumbled out into the blinding sunshine of SOMISSPO (which is a neighborhood? What?) and found myself in what was obviously heaven: a giant tent full of smiling, happy people…all dancing their asses off to sweet, sweet dirty breakbeats in the street in the middle of the day. The legend was true! And it was truly epic. 

Thanks, Space Cowboys, for giving me the chance to play the Actual Best Party Ever(TM), and thanks to everyone who came out and danced. I hope you enjoy listening to my set as much as I enjoyed spinning it for you.

Partial PR: The 45th release on microCastle welcomes Navar & Mononoid to the label for the debut of their collaborative project. Dutch artist Navar returns to the Canadian imprint following his 'Moments In Life EP' from November of 2014. As one of the underground's most creative talents Navar has shaped a sound all his own, full of soulful qualities and organic design. Appearances on Guy J's Lost & Found Records coupled with a sparse release schedule has only made the love for his sound stronger. Meanwhile Mononoid, also hailing from the Netherlands are making their much anticipated label debut. First conceptualized in 2011, Andy Godderis and Igor Shumlyanskiy make up the Mononoid production duo. A string of releases on Traum got their career off to a great start and their modern take on techno has since been showcased by Einmusika, Lost & Found and Sisyphon. Much like Navar, Mononoid has been praised for their creative vision and the fusion of these three intuitive minds was a project that had to be put into motion. Some winter months locked away in the studio has resulted in the much anticipated three track EP entitled 'Dreambox', alongside a remix from YokoO of Musik Gewinnt Freunde and All Day I Dream.

 The EP's second and also title cut 'Dreambox' is a spaced out journey which plays out over 12 magnificent minutes. Highlighted by cosmic themes and two oscillating builds, it's a deep space odyssey for the mind and feet. As Navar and Mononoid describe "An audio collision of reality & dream, which first seemed to be a true form of realism when the track was conceptualized, but when we keyed in a darker state of mind we slipped into another consciousness...it got us hypnotized! So we had to make a box where we could place the hypno-sphere's....but be aware that once this box is opened things will never be the same again!"

On this weeks episode of the Space Cowboys RIPEcast, we are featuring a special guest mix from @Kevnull of the Bay Area Rhythm Society and Frolic collectives.  Here is a few words from him about this mix:

"The Space Cowboys and RIPEcast have been such an institution and inspiration for me since before I was even a DJ. I’m so honored to be back on with a mix from the Burning Man camp Secret Location where they hosted a couple of days of day breaks. I’d been playing a lot of late night psybreaks so this was a chance to let loose with some fun booty shaking numbers. Enjoy!"
