'Endangered presents The Sky Above Us by Ra; the label debut from an emerging artist out of the Mexican electronic scene.

An upcoming talent based out of Mexico City, Raúl Contreras (Ra) is part of the new wave of artists breaking through in the Mexican electronic music scene.  His music flows effortlessly between an energetic style of progressive house and melodic techno, a natural fit for the sound of Endangered.  Upon hearing some of his demos, Brian Cid invited Ra to put together an EP, and the result is The Sky Above Us - a brilliant debut on Endangered.

The EP begins with the title track, and in true Endangered style, a sense of tension and drama is created with its cinematic breakdowns.  Many layers of synths weave in and out throughout, which adds to the vibe of this trippy opener.  Following is “Midnight Escargots”, and it brings a combination of dark & haunting synths with a pulsating techno beat.   One can visualize themselves running through a dimly lit cave with this track, and it has a groove that keeps the energy rising throughout.

The dark, but melodic techno theme continues with the 3rd track “My Ghosts”.  A deep, rumbling bass can be felt in your stomach here, and a subtle vocal during the break adds to the eeriness.  The mood is lightened slightly with the concluding “When Our Time Comes”.  The progressive and hypnotic feeling from the opener returns here with its trippy arpeggiated synths, and it signals that this chapter has now come to an end.

“This is a very special EP for me.  It’s the result of my introspective journey throughout the isolation.  I wanted to reach an introspective and deep journey into ourselves through emotions.  Thank you to my Endangered family.” - Ra

Ra’s The Sky Above Us EP is released on Endangered Records, July 9, 2021.'

Our next release comes once again from our good friend Marius Drescher. After his hit „We Had It All“ in 2020, Marius strikes back with his new EP "Hunter". The title track „Hunter“ is a powerful, melodic dancefloor bomb for those ecstatic peaktime hours. Following with „Memory Lane“, Marius shows us his talent to combine nostalgic soundscapes and driving grooves. The third and final track of the release is called „Shadows“ and closes the EP with a vibe of darkness and flickering lights.

Manual Music proudly presents Jaap Ligthart's debut album 'Itaka'.

In Jaap's own words:
Itaka stands for ‘influence’. On this album you can hear the different influences cities, countries, styles and artists had on me. In the 20 years I’m DJing and producing I developed my taste in music by traveling the world, meeting new people, seeing old friends and listening to new artists but also the living legends among us, which I tried to translate into this album.

I began producing the album early 2020 in Prague, right after my last gig before the lockdown. And now, things in clubland are opening up little by little and it’s time to get it out in the open…

Here's part 3. Be sure to check out part 1 and part 2 as well!

Welcome back Huminal! The dutch producer is following up with a fresh and new ep with his typical signature sound. A mixture of warm and peaceful sounds with well produced beats and effects. "Hold My Hand" has a catchy hook melody paired with a deep bassline. "Shadow Crow" is more straigh forward and opens up during the break into a wide soundscape. "Midnight Rally" is mysterious and a bit dark with a rhodes style synth playing the main lead melody.

Flemming Bassedow is back on Einmusika. The Jena based artist made a fresh and inspiring new ep with his sublime signature sound. "Katakan" is a deep and moody journey with a repetitive lead sound next to dramatic pads. "Nosferatu" is has groovy percussive elements and a clean sub-bass with a straight forward drive. "Zodiac" has a catchy hook and opens up widely during the break into an euphoric drop.

The title track, 'Together We're More', is beautifully accompanied with delicate lyrics by Graham Baxter. The journey begins in a dark, almost soulful way with an atmospheric, purling soundscape but the way is quickly found as the light of Baxter's voice guides us confidently through a rugged path, to a summit of clear skies.

In our next release, this time we welcome the founder of our label, Erich Von Kollar (Bonzai, Black Hole, MNL, Soundteller), who has returned with a brand new music and remixes by Hasith and Anar & Mika D. Erik mixed the already well-known clean and lean style with a bit of melodic techno, the title 'The Pine & The Moon' was given to the composition. Hasith (Lump, One Of A Kind, Lump) has made a real pumping progressive club anthem from the original, this version has already made its successful live debut, the Sri Lankan producer is still in great shape and will not disappoint anyone. The second remix was also brought by returning guests, the Mongolian duo Anar & Mika D, who surprised us with a more restrained, mystical progressive composition.

Einmusika Recordings is the music label of Berlin based Einmusik.

EVERY JOURNEY CREATES A NEW SOUND

There isn’t only black when the night is falling, the streets are not empty, the people just wake up together with synthetic lights. Melodys and emotions getting together and everywhere you can meet some great artists feeling the same mood.
Traveling and touring is an inspiration for Samuel Kindermann alias Einmusik. This is why he founded his own label Einmusika where sounds come together, where artists meet and where the music he likes is getting a place for reaching the electronic scence.
Einmusika is not only a platform, it is a playground for new handpicked production talents from all over the world. It sounds good when the night is falling over the club and it feels good when Samuel Kindermann takes new sounds with him.
