Mule (Arg) - Ride On

In July we bring to the light SAT005, a new musical connection between Rowee and the polish artist Enigmatic.

‘Velvet Shadows’ reflects a sentimental melody and synchronized vibrations, expressing a magical world with infinite imagination for a wonderful journey. Experience six minutes of joy, through the strings of an incredible refrain. 

‘Dione’ is a brilliant track, exposing the creation of hypnotic and intrigue atmosphere, is a three-note built for those pay-off moments in the peak of a set. The piano effect creates a great combination of romance and mystery notes, attached with the strings of an endless universe full of harmonies.

As TOR continues to set a strong early foundation, we head to the Meditteranean for an EP bursting with summer flavor and genuine energy. Collaborations are a pillar of the label program at When We Dip, as they capture the community and collective essence of electronic music.

Greek aficionado VieL has garnered a stellar reputation for groove and melody through a string of projects with Tale & Tone, Hoomidas, and Akbal Music. Joining him in the drivers seat are Italian comrades Madraas; a revamped moniker for a longtime partnership, who’ve graced the likes of Soundgarden and Ready Mix Records. The three seasoned producers have come together for a top drawer project, joining TOR in the presentation of the Vires EP.

Setting the stage is the release’s title track, Vires. We dive right into the groove as a crisp kick sets the mood for a track brimming with low frequency. The haunting basslines are infectious, as light percussive rhythms and strings bring character to the breakdown. A late-night tune for vibey dancefloors.

Roques harnesses melancholic melodies for a smooth and dreamy affair. A simple vocal loop plays along in background, as natural textures and swirling synths keep listeners' minds moving.

Rounding out the trio, Omnes brings heady percussion and piano work. Rhythms rotate from the start, and a playful melody brings a sense of cohesiveness to the EP’s closing.

Friend of the label and underground veteran El Mundo returns to Nie Wieder Schlafen to contribute a warm and lifely rework to Rohrer & Stohler's "Wonky". His re-work on the original production, brings the sound to a more prominent and broader production, filled with textural additions that encapsulate the best of the original, while simultaniously breathing fresh air into the ideas. Subtle vocal chants, gentle guitar riffs and playful recordings of the youth create a soulful feeling, that envokes a smile on our faces with ease.

Rohrer & Stohler - Wonky (El Mundo's Children Rework)

Capturing our imaginations and whisking us away from the stony realities of modern life, Pippi Ciez returns to our speakers once again. And not a moment too soon. 

Following epic narratives on All Day I Dream and Inward Recordings, his debut on Behrouz's Do Not Sit On The Furniture doesn't just continue his signature of faraway, cosmic house music but elevates it once again.
The lead track pays homage to the most formidable Hindu God; 'Shiva'. A tale told from four different perspectives; Srinath Raghavan's emotional prayer call shrouds deep weaves of percussion, deep pads and swooping strings; from the hypnotic groove of the Original Mix to the breath-taking ambience of the Film Score Mixdown, Pippi paints with vivid brushstrokes, taking us to places we're currently unable to travel to. Complete with a deeper, darker twist from long-time label friends Esteble, 'Shiva' is a story that just won't quit.
It's backed by two more beautiful compositions; the unhurried tablas and eastern strings of 'The Watchman' and the more upbeat psychedelic peaktime motion of 'Blood Stone' both transcend any sense of place and time and galvanise Pippi's role as one of the most exciting sonic storytellers of our time. Turn on, tune in and watch out for the twist in his tales.
