Larry D is in the low light spotlight for Shell Tape 87 and this edition is all steam, smoke, bass and bounce. Straight down the line 4x4 techno takes a backseat, leaving room for Latin leaning polyrhythms, Afro influences and wobbly bass lines as we take a left turn for “Left-field y Latino”.

That left turn leads right to a heaving dance floor driven by ear worm vocal loops, South American melodies and the undeniable influence of contemporary Afro-Caribbean stylings, both underground and not so underground. The tunes made in the mix might be made by computers but the beats are anything but robotic, swinging, bouncing and gasping with a spectacular sweaty and off kilter energy.

Images of neon flashes on wet concrete, blurred feet and glistening skin come to mind when consuming Shell Tape 87 - it’s easy to get lost in the rumble tumble world Larry presents to us. “Left-field y Latino” is made for dancers so step out and get stuck in!

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

Happy to present to you: the debut release of interdisciplinary, Korean artist Minju Oh. Studying at the HfG in Offenbach Minju’s approach to making music is always one that is strongly influenced by a second visual layer. The artist herself describes the 6 tracks on this tape as: “a lighthouse to the universe”. Cosmic disco, rough Chicago house, breaks and atmospheric, computer game influenced sounds can all be found within. Enjoy ***.
