LNR009 - ARAPU & GESCU - The Horizontal Games EP (LINIAR)

Butter Side Up’s 12th release, Weekend at Raymond’s Place’ comes from San Diego’s hotly tipped John Manhard. A densely textured and unpredictable six-track EP whose languid groove and swing will sound equally sweet warming up a dancefloor or late into the following day. 

Based in LA and resident of cult party V:isions, John’s been on a roll of late, with releases on the likes of Mui Mui, Perfect Timings & InTheBagg (alongside Dylan Payne) cementing him as a singular producer with an impressively broad reference board. 

The EP’s first track, ‘Shake Your Body’ immediately gets under the skin, a bouncy groove and synth-line pulling you under its command. Over the next 30-odd minutes the spell doesn’t lift - deep house tropes twist and turn playfully over shuffling breaks and swinging basslines, reminiscent of West-Coast house’s finer moments. Manhard’s studio-craft and ear for the unpredictable give a fresh perspective to a much revered and distinctively Pacific-coast sound.

This is music for the fuzzy margins either side of peak time. It’s fitting that Hamish first met and heard John’s music at a hazy afters in LA back in 2022, drawn to a selection of tracks which were largely his own. Two years later these ideas have refined to form another stellar release on BSU, complete with original artwork from Max Binski and scheduled for release in early Ocober.

Mariano Mateljan is a Croatian DJ and producer who has long been a key figure in his country's underground electronic music scene. Growing up in Split during the 90s and early 2000s, his musical journey was shaped by the city's thriving club culture, which introduced him to a wide spectrum of sounds, from house to techno and drum’n’bass. Known for his deep, groovy, and minimalistic style, Mariano has established himself as both a DJ and label head, launching the u.dig imprint to showcase like-minded artists. His work has earned him widespread respect, with support from industry heavyweights like Ricardo Villalobos and Sonja Moonear, while his releases and remixes continue to push the boundaries of electronic music. 

While we premiered his new EP here, we also had a chat with Mariano. Head to the site for more.

Días de Campo Records presents its fourth EP by JNJS, the Ibiza residents and dynamic duo (no, they’re not brothers, but they could be). This EP is crafted for the dancefloor, featuring 3 original tracks and 2 remixes by the American dreamer and Barcelona-based Liquid Earth: with both Broken Boozer and Deep Twirler mix. LUCY EP hits your hips with a laser beam, created by day and enjoyed by night. The main single, “Lucy,” evolves into a ruthless warrior beyond human logic. Both “My Japanese Friend” and “We Play In Blue” transport you to specific space-time coordinates. Will you travel with us?

This release stands out for its seamless blend of innovative sound design and irresistible grooves, marking a new high for Días de Campo’s already impressive catalog. A must-listen for any serious electronic music enthusiast.
