HC Records is pleased to present its ninth digital release with the first installment of the Low Syndicate Series.

Low Syndicate was born in 2015 as an independent division specialising in low frequencies of the Hypnotica Colectiva crew, the Valencian promoter and owner of HC Records.

After 5 years of offering the most mature and exquisite face of bass music through events in different Valencian clubs and its radio show on Bassport FM, Low Syndicate takes a step further by entering the world of music publishing. This EP is the first contact as a prelude to the launch in 2021 of its own label, Low Syndicate Audio.

'Valencia Manifest EP' aims to capture the great talent of this culturally rich city on the Iberian east coast, called Valencia. A pioneer of low frequencies in Spain, and which during the 2000s was considered the Spanish capital of this sound.
The EP compiles 5 tracks from Valencian producers who have been part of the Syndicate events line up, and that represent the diversity of the different styles that are usually heard at their parties, such as Drum & Bass, Jungle, Juke & Halftime.

The legend Mooncat, one of the most veteran and internationally recognised Spanish producers, is in charge of opening the EP with 'Dubstone'. A theme in which he takes his representative hedonistic Jamaican influenced sound to a sober sphere, fusing reggae and dub atmospheres with the powerful sound of the new Rolling generation.

No Human Sound duo, one of the rising talents of the Valencian scene in last decade, invites us on a cosmic journey as well as heartbreaking with 'Subversive'. Breaking the rules in a masterful way, they rhythmically take us from the depths of the Jungle on the first part of the track directly to outer space, through a pure Drum & Bass second drop.

Lowering the BPM to 160 but not the intensity, haling from South Spain, but based in Valencia, Rootless, injects a significant dose of energy with 'Dancefloor'. Strictly Juke sound from the suburbs with a strong influence from Chicago Footwork and Detroit Techno, but with all the essence of the Mediterranean Sea. It will make your feet moving relentlessly.

The techy note of the EP is given by Delah, British roots young producer born in Spain, that previously released tunes under the pseudonym Keos. This combative 'Riot Thing' is full of minimalism and darkness, Techfunk being the main thread for the insurrection.

The EP concludes with the premiere in the production's world of the Syndicate leadership and veteran comrades Finger & Brozak as beat makers, and Sebzero on the mic. 'No Flags' is a 170 BPMs tune that evolves from Halftime heavy rhythms of its first part to a second drop invaded by hard amen breaks, all driven by thick basslines and an explicit revolutionary message.

Join the Syndicate and sign the manifesto...

After 10 years working as a collective in order to create a movement where the musical aspirations that define us had their place, in Hypnotica Colectiva we have taken the decission of expanding our horizons and thrown ourselves into the rest of aspects that conform electronic music culture.
One of the results of this decission is Hypnotica Colectiva Records, the platform where we'll try to reflect our musical values.

Without any inhibition, without labels, without expiring date, without any predominant doctrine. Our intention will be to publish the work of all those artists that we could identify with. The known, and the yet to know. As you could be.

For the occasion we create this space where you can send us your proposals:

label[at]hypnoticacolectiva.es

Hypnotica Colectiva pretends to start its way as a vinyl pressing based record label. Although each release will be digitally distributed after a while. Our catalogue will be hosted in Bandcamp. And of course, every release will be mastered by high level professional studios.

Starting right now to work hopefully in this project where we expect to share our passion, counting on your contribution.
