Introducing Black Series 001 - a new chapter in Micronica Records journey, where we delve deeper into the raw, darker and more hypnotic side of minimal. As we celebrate 7 years, it’s time to dive a little deeper and explore the darker side of our sound.

"Black Series" represents the raw, stripped-back and mysterious layers of Micronica’s journey. This collection features tracks that showcase a deeper, more intense dimension - from hypnotic rhythms to subtle grooves that will captivate both body and mind.

Featuring both familiar artists like Modebaku, Fedo, Zenk, Sabda, Pattern Tusk, as well as some new additions to the Micronica family, this collection highlights the diverse and evolving talent in our label's roster.

With this release, we're inviting you to step into a new chapter - one that amplifies the underground spirit while staying true to our roots.

Prepare to embrace the darkness, while staying true to the intricate minimal textures you’ve come to expect from us.

This one is for the true underground heads.

About the EP :

Hyenah “The Ritual” EP RISE MUSIC (RISE002)

RISE MUSIC returns with the second instalment after the successful debut "Masala EP". This time the label’s mysterious head honcho Hyenah delivers two stunning original tracks. No remixes. No compromises.
You Made Me Who I am” is an epic, strings driven House tune. It keeps on building and building until it unfolds its entire beauty in a magical and epic breakdown. Drum n strings at its best morphing into nothing less than goosebumps. Positive vibes only.
On the flipside, “ The Ritual” is a quirky and at the same time deep African style tension-builder only Hyenah can deliver. Different layers of sounds wind around each other and leave the crowd ready to burst in a dark, soulful way.
It comes along like a rain dance finally allowing the sky to perform its magic.

RISE MUSIC is distributed by Muting The Noise.

PREMIERE : Hyenah - You Made Me Who I Am [RISE Music]

Release date: December 4

The 155th release on Tash's Movement Recordings welcomes Fashion Victimz to the label for a brand new EP. Hailing from Israel, Mark Finkel and Viki Makrianis are well known DJs in Tel Aviv's burgeoning club scene. As a production duo they've racked up discography credits on esteemed labels such as Dear Deer and MNL. Now making their much anticipated debut on Movement Recordings the duo present their latest studio creations 'Conga Conga' and 'Jungle Bells' alongside remixes from Dousk and Simos Tagias. 

The aptly coined 'Jungle Bells' leads the release off with a warm, tribal infused groove and a delicate bell motif. Fluid bass swells rise, pushing the momentum forward as a storyboard of cosmic instrumentation begins to take shape. Squirrelly and wholly satisfying it leads to a short but timely break before a powerful drop resets the groove for a musically inspired finale. The companion piece 'Conga Conga' follows suit nicely with a cross cultural narrative wrapped up in an airy atmospheric resonance. Distinctive vocal elements and elegant musicality lie at the core of the piece while clattering congas work their magic across the seven minute journey. 

The lone interpretation of 'Jungle Bells' is provided by Movement Recordings artist Dousk. The Greek producer is fresh off his 'West of Dub' EP for the Greek imprint which was released amidst much praise one month ago. Always a creative remixer Dousk injects his own brand of cosmic funk into 'Jungle Bells'. Electric and edgy, it's a trip into mutoid tech-grooves, fuzzed out synths and hypnotic bells, highlighted by a two minute interlude to fully captivate your dance floor.

The release concludes with another member of the Movement Recordings family Simos Tagias providing the lone interpretation of 'Conga Conga'. The Greek artist recently remixed Movement label boss Tash for Soundteller Records and also owns releases on Sound Avenue and Sudbeat. Now closing the release out in style Simos takes 'Conga Conga' into dreamy progressive house territory with great results. The main elements translate nicely over a voluminous groove while a strong rhythmic core and cascading motifs drive the piece to a euphoric finale. A massive remix from Simos and one that sounds tailor made for the sets of Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren. 

A stunning Movement Recordings debut for Fashion Victims who present their career best work looking ahead to a promising 2018.

Tracklist:
01. Kalyma - Rites (Original Mix)
02. Kalyma - Red Man Calypso (Original Mix)
03. Kalyma - Red Man Calypso (Whitesquare Remix)

Release Info: 
After D.Y.A's and Kalyma's collaboration for Solide's eights catalogue number, latter returns solo for the label's latest release, 'Rites EP', a three tracker consisting of two original cuts and a remix. In traditional Kalyma manner and part of his trademark sound the Berlin based producer delivers an excessive drum-influenced EP opener, 'Rites', that signifies its dance floor potential within the first minute and teases with an incisive chord which marks the introduction of the track's coming in subtle key-melody. As the track continues Kalyma sprinkles with accentuated synth-chords that adapt to the overall harmonies and set new auditory stimuli before the track enfolds its full peak-time potential.

Kalyma's second cut, 'Red Man Calypso', comes in an original version and a Whitesquare remix. As the original highlights whizzling and sizzling synth pads that create late summer esthetics over a proper house bassline, Whitesquare's remix approach concentrates on the low frequencies as the Italian producer implements a reduced bassline smoothly supporting the synth-chords which he adapted from the original. Due to the reduction the remix depicts a multi-layered almost paradox atmosphere – buoyant and joyful on the one side, dark and desperate on the other – the listener is torn between but never lost as the beauty and life-affirming vibe prevails.

Sabo’s and his label Sol Selectas returns after its summer holiday with a stunning new EP from Djuma Soundsystem, who has collaborated on one of the tracks with Westerby and other with Australian artist Western.

Release info:

"Djuma Soundsystem is also a successful solo artist who boasts a back catalogue including music signed to many imprints such as Parquet, Rebirth, Crosstown Rebels, Tenampa, and My Favorite Robot Records.

Western has previously made numerous appearances on Sol Selectas working alongside Uone, and also signed other tracks to labels such as KATERMUKKE and Stil Vor Talent.

Complementing the two originals are three remixes from Sobek, Fake Mood and Kincaid, who each bring their own individual flavour to the EP. Black Coffee has been heavily supporting the Sobek remix during his summer residency in Ibiza. 

The original tracks on the EP were inspired by a safari trip in South Africa. With the bird sounds in the first track, “Saguaro” made in collaboration with Westerby represents the jungle atmosphere created by the vibrant selection of wildlife, and the tribal chants pay homage to the aboriginal natives. The spritely melodies full of intrigue are symbolic of the wide eyed enchanted stairs from excited Western eyes looking upon beautiful foreign landscapes.

Sobek reworks “Saguaro” for the second track on the EP and keeping the main lead synth intact he uses the other parts from the original to construct a new backing track. Refined and stripped back, this alternate version uses the chants more as a distant texture instead of a prominent feature. He also adds dramatic strings to create a sense of progression that builds towards a very impactful breakdown.

Track three “Kawahagi” made in collaboration with Western is representative of the South Aftrican weather with tribal drums being the pitter-patter of rain, and leads to the drama of the breakdowns ominous bassline that looms like an overcasting storm cloud. Starting off light and breezy then moving towards the darker more intense ending, this dramatic cut changes like the extreme weather conditions in the South African countryside.

Fake Mood provides the fourth track with their remix of “Kawahagi” using a more uptempo groove and clear focus on sequenced percussion in comparison to the live percussion loop of the original. Adding their own melody part, the vibe of this remix is uplifting with a dance floor focused structure that’s got an epic pad sound to further heighten the atmosphere.

Finishing the EP is Sol Selectas home grown talent Kincaid, who takes a very distinctive approach to his remix focusing of the chants and percussion of the original, but not without the addition of his own ethereal pads and quirky acid line. Using FX to create some unusual textures, his tech-inspired remix for some will no doubt be the highlight of the release."

Making his debut on Crosstown Rebels, AEON founder Alex Niggemann takes us on a sonic exploration of the African continent for his next musical venture.

Allow yourself to melt into the hypnotic rhythm of Zoulou. Ambient sounds are textured with percussion that lures you in. Tribal chants and explosive drums seek add drama as the abundance of intricate layers pull you along for the journey. Bwana is more progressive than its predecessor with a soft drumbeat underpinning it. It utilises that same tribal vocal stab contrasting against harder synths.

Alex Niggemann is an artist who prides himself on being innovative and forward thinking when it comes to electronic music. Over the years, he’s had releases on Last Night On Earth, Watergate and Poker Flat Recordings. In 2013 he set up his own impressive imprint, AEON, in a bid to release music that breathes quality and originality and blurs the line between house and techno. Recently celebrating its fifth anniversary, AEON is now a fully fledged brand and has played a part in bringing now established artists such as Denis Horvat, Speaking Minds and TVA to the forefront of the scene.

Following up to the “sampler” series, this time Madorasindahouse delivers this 4-tracker by atsou. Handpicked selections by close friends and newcomers to the label, this EP showcases the deep and afro-inspired sounds that can make a dancefloor groove to the MIDH vibe.

First up, atsou’s collaboration with the Moroccan icon Amine K, features the vocals of the lively Lemonia Beza, winner of the “Voice of Greece 2018”, who revive an old greek track to “Felice”.

Clemente joins the Madorasindahouse Records roster, with “Here & Now”, an ode to summers gone and summers to come, dancing while the sun rises.

Filippos, the upcoming greek talent, follows up to his success with last year’s “Kairetu”, with his collaboration with the South african spoken-word artist Black Soda, and delivers the afro-tech stomper “Simera”, ready for the peak time moments of the future parties.

Last but definitely not least, is the legendary Myconian figure, resident of “Astra” and “Void”, Dj Pappa, on one of his rare production appearances. We definitely hope we get to listen more of the “Morning Star” vibes!
