A robot awakes from a long sleep. In the darkness, his eyes open and contemplate a savage, thick and lush nature. The android goes in search to browse the space around him. It seems there’s no sign of life, animal or human… He quickly figures out that he’s surrounded by rusty devices, damaged metal and large dusty gearwheels. Wandering the remnants from another time, our hero, is now a true little machinist. He tampers, tinks and fishes around the mecanisms surrounding him in order to inject a new energy, a second life. Gradually, everything is gearing up, lights blink, cogs work again. It’s relaunching, it’s working well again. An amusement park re-emerges now from oblivion and comes gradually back to reality. The carousels’ shade is dancing in the starry sky, the humanoid is browsing the park’s aisles and contemplates what’s once was a place where shouts and bursts of laughter were clashing. Very slowly, but undoubtedly, the robot wards off. He casts a last gaze at this so familiar and unusual place that evokes memories, like a retrieved imaginary world. Soothed, he vanishes away, in the shade, leaving the park operating, witness of a retrieved liberty.
Tour de Manège is proud to introduce the culmination of years of work, the conclusion of a story started in 2013. Through this project, and more specifically this vinyl, we’re closing, at least for now, the interlude of this 5 volume saga. After the genesis in volume 1, “Le Train Fantôme” in volume 2, the “Freak Circus” in volume 3 and “The Wizards” in volume 4, we introduce the conclusion of this saga with volume 5 : “The Machinists”. Thanks to every contributor to the vinyl, to the Tour de Manège project et, last but not least, to the community that followed us for all these years. More than a musical adventure, it was a human adventure that started 9 years a go and lasts ever since.

Tour De Manège is proud to present the culmination of long years of work and the conclusion of a story that began in 2013. More than a musical adventure, it is a human adventure that was repeated 9 years ago and that has persisted ever since.
Through this project and more particularly this vinyl, we close, at least for the moment, the parenthesis of this saga of 5 volumes. After the genesis of volume 1, "Le Train Fantôme" of volume 2, "Freak Circus" of volume 3 and "The Wizards" of volume 4, we present to you the conclusion of this epic, with volume 5 "The Machinist" .

To all crowdfunding contributors and to all those who have participated directly or indirectly in this project. Thank you to those who listen to us and to all those who one day or another, we have given strength.

‘To Avoid a Narrow Path’ is to be in pursuit of the road less travelled, and that sentiment perfectly sums up Stan lodge’s debut EP.

The multi instrumentalist and producer shares five tracks including collaborations with saxophonist and recent Mercury Prize winner James Mollison as well as lead single with Saveyda. 

Smooth beats intertwined with Stan's keys and guitar, with string courtesy of Jed Bevington.

really late night

I would like to share the news, we have a new member and he goes under the name of @djdash818 and he's located in Bucharest, Romania.

I decided to put together a welcoming mix, where i told Dash to select the tracks he thinks his skill can shine through and give the listeners a good first impression of his style & sound. His debut tape will be available on all services on May 10th - all digital services. The release is called 'Slight Ease' and it contains four exclusive tracks never heard before. I'm really happy for this, to have more people with great energy & vibe to join the movement.

I really hope you will enjoy your stay, blessings from the whole crew. 
/Luciano.
