Mimi - 06 Septembre 2022

The next quest through the ever-expanding world of Plantera is provided by London-based selector Bethan. A super talented being whom's taste of music resonated very deeply with ourselves at Plantera HQ. 

Bethan narrates a psychedelic journey saturated with deeply inspiring music from her impressive collection. Sounds that harmonise with the heart's and ear's of the listener; digging from the past, whilst peering innovatively into the future. 

Expect chill out serenity, before elevating through altitudes of euphoric energy. 

Thank you Bethan

Love

"In the depths of Plantera is a place that provides a guiding hope in the face of despair. Starting off at a serene dawn, soft glowing light billows down upon the ocean, and we float from blissful waves onto the shore.  

We then enter an unknown territory on land, and a change of scenery and mood reflects the momentary chaos embodied by an absurd world. Slowly, the golden radiance of the sun begins to ascend and offers new beginnings and dreams, and we are gently lifted to a higher place." - Bethan

Sonic Paradise - 03 Décembre 2022

There's no doubt Porto-based Brasilian Albin is a lover of drums. As a DJ he flirts with rhythm whether he's playing downtempo cuts, bass weight or more rave-inspired breaks and UKG. 

This passion is translated through his label too. Since 2018 he's been helming Yellow Island Records with the help of label family LA-based producer Etari and fellow Porto-based Brasilian Radino.

There's a distinct UK influence to the output, you'll hear breakbeat, garage, jungle, IDM and braindance sounds coming from producers like Kessler, Boulderhead, XTMR and more, plus there's plenty of compilations to sink your teeth into.

The UK connection is also kept alive through the label's residency on South East London's Balamii Radio which sees him invite label mates and like-minded DJs to take over the controls each month.

Just like Albin asserts, his mix for us is fluid and energetic - and there's absolutely no messing about, he gets straight into it from the jump. The drums take centre stage throughout, flipping between rolling and skippy patterns that sit over dub-wise atmospheres and tittering percussion - whether you're on your morning run or making a beeline for the dance floor, this will keep those energy levels up.

Albin: The 'Shine A Light On' Mix

Sergio Outeiriño (@mounderg) is a dj from Ourense, Galicia (north of Spain) better known as Mou. He's been spinning records for over a decade in serious parties around the country. He launched his own label in 2018  Must Be On Wax (@mbowtrax) with releases from great artists from his community.

This mix is absolute madness, dub, house, breaks, all kinds of trancy melodies, acid rythms and crazy percussions for over 1h. Enjoy!

Something had to give, that much was certain. The situation had become unsustainable and one of them needed to take their leave - who would be the one to take the hit though was another matter entirely... There was a lot riding on that decision. They'd hoped all of this would end in a graceful, amicable compromise but the reality was far from that, only time and space could heal these wounds now. 

You can't mention Tin Man without mentioning acid. The producer has become synonymous with the 303, using the infamous machine to create all kinds of squelchy and hypnotic variations for Global A Records, Acid Test and Infrastructure New York as well as teaming up with artists like John Tejada and Jozef K. For his next release, he makes his debut on Bureau B with Arles, a release that departs from his usual dance floor offerings and explores beautiful melodies and cosmic vibrations - there's no question it's still a Tin Man creation though.
