One of the corner stones of the Eastern Europe underground community, Half in Belgrade is a constant fixture in the world tour calendar. Regularly playing host to a raft of visiting dignitaries and local stars their place on the map has been cemented for some time. Through the work and tireless dedication to their craft, sisters Tijana and Tamara Ristic and Half founders have formed Tijamara, a live production duo which has evolved as an extension of the club but has a view to extend its wings much further than the doors of the iconic venue. They now present their first release on their new label Pola / Пола and it speaks directly to their contrasting personalities and family roots in Serbia and Romania.

Milio - Look Up (Original Mix)

Бурлящие вихри гиперпространства затягивают в эпицентр захватывающих событий четвертого сезона (SL50–SL59). Персонажи оказываются на грани между реальностью и иллюзией, пробираясь сквозь многомерные ловушки и участвуя в опасных заговорах. Стремительный ритм аудиоспектакля сопровождается оригинальными композициями, которые подчеркивают накал происходящего и эмоциональные переломные моменты. Загадочные союзники, рискованные маневры и древние силы — все это сплетается в эпическую одиссею, где за каждым поворотом скрывается новая угроза или шанс изменить ход истории.

03. Depth Perception / cut version

We're thrilled to welcome Shimpei Watanabe to the label as we continue to build on the Tokyo/Cologne connection. Bringing his versatile talent from Tokyo, he delivers three fresh tracks. This limited vinyl release opens with ‘No Cab Around Here’ an acid piece in true 303 style, enhanced by deep dub chords. A2 highlights Shimpei Watanabe's signature funky basslines and groovy drums, creating a lively atmosphere. On the flip, B1 introduces a smoother, Chicago-style groove adding a refreshing change of pace. The record’s finale features an energetic remix by Cologne's own Stikdorn - an analog dub techno jam that seamlessly aligns with the label's early releases. 

Release: 03. Dezember 2024

All Tracks written and produced: Shimpei Watanabe

Shimpei Watanabe – No Cab Around Here | SNIPPET [IILLTD007] (inkl. Stikdorn Remix)

On their double A side release via Manual Music's 90watts imprint, the Savrun Brothers deliver a pair of tracks that travel hand in hand yet reside in complementary emotional spaces.

'Reminisce' opens the dancefloor with an organic house energy laced with subtle nods to acid house. Crisp, fluid basslines and squelchy licks peek through the rhythmic foundation, while ethereal, mystique tinged vocal snippets drift in and out, casting moments of nostalgic introspection. The track strikes a balance: it is rooted in groove yet curious in texture, inviting repeated listens and surprises in its details.

Flipping to 'Saxeus', the tone deepens. Here lies the more introspective half of the release, slower to unfold, richer in harmonic nuance, and suffused with an emotional weight that turns inward. Where 'Reminisce' reaches outward, 'Saxeus' converses with the self, leaving more space in its arrangement and allowing subtle shifts in mood to resonate.

Together, the two tracks embody the duality of a double A side: one for movement and light touch euphoria, the other for reflection and deeper sonic communion. It is a deft showcase of the Savrun Brothers' range within the organic house realm.

This crazy year comes to an end and we've prepared something special for your pleasure to close the year. For the last episode of our podcast series for this year we welcome the Berlin based producer and performer https://soundcloud.com/dr-nojoke (https://soundcloud.com/clikno, https://soundcloud.com/thepoolberlin)! Dr.Nojoke provided us his last live performance from the Humboldthain Club from March 2020. His live sets continually bring new and unique sounds to the table, a combination of field-recordings, self-made sounds, and highly conceptual production that redefine the way we understand electronic music. A Berlin native and leader in directional minimal techno (or “clikno” as he describes it), Dr.Nojoke is a master of rethinking ordinary musicality and procuring new uses for the everyday.

We want to thank you all for the support and we wish you a Merry Christmas!
