2024 gets underway, Oath are thrilled to share the imprint’s latest long play, which comes courtesy of rising star Moonee - and you better believe its a solid gold stunner…

Francois Lefevre, the producer behind the Moonee name - alongside his group projects Twice Movement and Simple Request (with French House royalty Tour-Maubourg) - really optimizes all that is bold and beautiful about the House genre. The release of ‘Wabi Sabi’ on Groovence in 2022, then ‘Primal Groove’ on Slothboogie last year, has already helped Lefevre craft a significant space for himself under the Moonee name. His sound is one of tremendous melodic feel, with a plethora of rhythmic patterns and atmospheres being utilised to help create a bountiful sonic universe. His attention to how the groove unravels and how progression can be used softly but subtly really comes over strong, immersing the listener in a very warm place indeed. As beginnings to discographies go, this start is immensely strong, and one which provides a rock solid basis for all sorts of excellence to come forth.

Two EPs down, and now this fantastic long play. Moonee really flexed his style and craft on this record, one which constantly delighted at every turn, providing an enriching spectrum of sounds that stick true to his production technique and to his craft. Not for one second do you stand still, but merely carried along on a wave of melodic euphoria, simply pleased to be along for the ride. The dips from heavy hitting though to softly spoken at handled so well, and as a result we are left with a pretty damn good way to enter in 2024. Winter has arrived, but warm your heart with this stunner.

In this electrifying 2024, we're buzzing with excitement as we celebrate 40 years of Flexi, the record emporium that's weathered countless storms amidst the ever-shifting tides of the music industry, catering to vinyl aficionados across the ages. Alongside the raves and swag, no doubt, there's a killer compilation dropping on the indie label "Flexi Cuts," dubbed evocatively as "Musica Solida" spread across 3 or perhaps 4 12-inch samplers, boasting a carefully curated selection of singles from cherished Flexi-affiliated artists and producers. The vision? To cultivate a virtuous movement of sublime tunes, echoing the fervor and zeal to persist within the realm of quality that Flexi embodies within the Italian scene, alongside kindred spirits... despite the daunting challenges of the market in recent years.

PREMIERE: DJ ROCCA - The Box Above

Running through the corridors he began to panic. Why did he always leave everything to the very last minute? The sound of the school bell rang loudly as he weaved quickly between passing groups of giggling girls and boisterous boys. Heaven forbid that he might be late... 

He could already hear the words of his teacher ringing and reverberating. Those words sent the fear of god up his spine as the deadline loomed and time was running out. 

Racing between lockers, quick, through the canteen. Almost there... 

Giuseppe Leonardi is set to release an eclectic assortment of leftfield Pop, Balearic infused House and other oddball synth experiments on Unsure. It follows off the back of appearances on Music From Memory affiliated offshoot Second Circle.

Premiere | Baby Rollén - Psychology (ECR016)

Maestro and Tabache are great friends and met in August 2022 for the last time before Maestro left Bologna and returned to live in Germany. So they decided to meet in Maestro’s studio to say goodbye for the last time and do their first jam session.

When tabache arrived he repeatedly pushed the doorbell (track1 “Campanello”), then entered and found in Maestro’s house also his young brother Trombetta that therefore casually joined in the jam. They played all day till night, stopping just for a pizza (track 2) ordered in the “Favela” (track 3) restaurant under their house.

The EP is nothing more than the documentation of the 3 most intense moments of those hours.

It was all composed with analog instruments, some old organs, one ms-20, some samplers, Elektron RYTM and some weird synths.

For the fourth release on the burgeoning OCHI imprint, label head Isaac Carter links up with Callum Asa on the ‘Both Sides’ EP. The three track release fuses their juxtaposing influences; meshing east coast influenced deep house motifs with UK bass, soul with intricate drum programming for an extremely well rounded EP that marks an exciting progression in the ever developing sonics of OCHI.

PREMIERE: Isaac Carter & Callum Asa - Internally

The title track on La Mano’s ‘Fabricca’ EP is a deep and evocative piece featuring heavy-duty reverbs, distant snares and gorgeous arp melodies. ‘Fabricca’ marks La Mano’s return to his Sound Du Jour label, following his 2021 ‘Tarvisio’ EP, which launched the label, and a remix for MAN 2.0’s ‘Synapse’ on the imprint shortly after. Since then, he has gone on to release on Mélopée and Tusk Wax, as well as a remix for Man Power on Me Me Me alongside work on releases with the likes of Andy Ash, Marcus Christiansen and Demetae via Sound Du Jour.

‘Fiume’ is up next on La Mano’s ‘Fabricca’ EP. It’s an ever-evolving dreamscape on an electro tip, digitised birdsong occasionally breaking through its vibrant layers of harmony. This is before ‘Onda’ closes out the release via rich pads, a gated vocal, and club-ready drums - it’s the perfect finish to another versatile and melodic offering on Sound Du Jour.

Fabbrica EP

PREMIERE: La Mano - Fiume [Sound Du Jour]

It were as if they were all living in some kind of strange bubble – isolated from the rest of the world and very much alone. This is a place where the exiles lived and danced, having escaped from the flattened world outside.

This was the liquid dome, a place of selflessness and freedom in which one could float between the fluid.

Wild things grew here, wild ideas and wilder people. Wild things lived here, unbound by the limitations and rules and structures of a generation which had come once before.

nikos dervisis is set to self release a new EP which has already gathered support from the likes of  Martha, Ben UFO, 8ULENTINA and Dj Plead. This one features futuristic breaks and abstract glitches which make for a strange and wonderful, hypnotic affair.

We are launching the first release from our Breton label: Underwater Audio Dynamics.

The label comes from the meeting of two oceanic creatures off the coast of Brittany and will be devoted to underwater energies, taking an open look at the electronic scene, in search of unique and off-the-radar universes.

Batou's EP highlights 2 energies that are dear to him: one marked by two downtempo pieces with acid-Breton sounds and the other more focused on percussive prog house sounds.

Dive into the depths!
