Can't believe you got 0 comment so far. Discovered your work 2 monthes ago, just THANK YOU.

As we keep it moving with more overseas guests...

Enigmatic FENNEC aka @fennecsound is responsible for one of our fave 2023 house releases – the Nice Work EP. 

And now we’re presenting a HOT guest mix in anticipation of NICE WORK 2. We’ve had it on repeat for a week now. It keeps us reaching for Shazam constantly.

A DJ and producer since 2014, Austin’s Fennec draws on influences like The Avalanches, DJ Koze, and Moodymann to craft chopped-up, loopy dance music with a smile. The mix here is an amalgamation of these influences & draws from the not-so-obvious pockets of 90’s house to create a joyful, energetic DJ journey. 

Mix also includes a preview of the forthcoming Nice Work 2: “One For Me” is the second to last song. Nice Work 2 will be out March 1st. 

ENJOY!

Live via satellite #4 /// FENNEC /// hot house mix in anticipation of Nice Work 2 EP 🧡

Having been long-time admirers of one another from afar, Hell Yeah and Michele Mininni finally come together for Pop Archetypes. It is a multifaceted debut album that collides broken beats, worldly rhythms, jazz, eastern melodies, live drums and much more into one thrilling 15-track opus that arrives on May 31st.

Italian artist Mininni has always had a leftfield take on electronic music and imbued it with rhythms, melodies and instruments from around the globe. He has released it on cult labels like R&S, Optimo Trax, Internasjonal and Curle Recordings but has saved his magnificent debut album for Hell Yeah. It is much more than a collection of sounds he has already explored and instead finds him heading off into all new territory without losing his signature sense of inventive and beguiling rhythm and melody. It is a multicultural journey that takes in heterogeneous styles and diverse influences but distills them all into one cohesive album with its own unique storyline.

Says Mininni of the record, "I wanted each track to be like pieces of a unique, multifaceted picture, like walking through train cars or progressing through the levels of a video game, all filtered through my own vision and concentrated into 36 minutes. I wanted a pop album rooted in the extraordinary richness of popular music and projected into the future, a continuum where pieces communicate with each other and are received by the ears in symbiotic balance."

Despite that concept, the album is a spontaneous listen full of surprises, left turns and original ideas that all hold together in thrilling fashion. It kicks off with the tumbling jazz drums and swirling synths of 'Spinning Around Cotton Candy', takes in mellifluous melodic layers and broken beats on 'Golden Room' and 'Slipped Air' casts you adrift amongst gorgeous piano keys and refracted vocals on the suspensory 'Vertigo'. There are jungle interludes with Eastern string melodies like 'Bangkok Tempo', lavish fusions of organic and synthetic sounds on 'Kundalini' and more charming Far Eastern rhythms on 'Muting Cat'. 'Congoflash' brings electrifying cosmic rays to busy hand drum patterns, 'The Magic Of Synesthesia' combines dark amen breaks and bright and uplifting flutes while 'Carousel Of Tears' douses you in watery melodies and celestial pads that awaken the soul.

Pop Archetypes is an adventurous work packed with meticulous and infinite details but all with an overarching narrative that makes it far more than the sum of its parts.

Really nice album!!

SEAN JOHNSTON/ A LOVE FROM OUTER SPACE
Absolutely love this.

JAYE WARD/ RINSE FM
Ahhh wicked big fan of his R&S output… the lp sounds totally epic, really into vertigo, urban voodoo, Congo flash & wet market. But the whole LP is definitely going to get rinsed. Propels left field and beautiful!

MAX ESSA
What an astonishing collection of music! An incredible release.

FRANCOIS K/ BODY & SOUL
Love this.
