We're proud to start our mixtape session with LIFE & LIMB.

Life & Limb is the collaboration between Lecce, Italy’s Andrea Mangia and Mike McGuire of New York. In 2006 the two discovered each other’s solo recordings under the names Populous and Short Stories, respectively, online. Shortly thereafter came their first release of the single, “Breathes the Best” released in 2006 on Morr Music. 

After the two realized this partnership could be something long-lasting, their potential became clear with the 2008 release of the full length “Drawn In Basic” on Morr Music, a record that Pop Matters called “consistently lush, inviting and rewarding.” Drawn In Basic Remixed came soon thereafter with contributions from artists such as Teebs, Opiate, and Harald Björk.

After some time working on other projects the two came back together in 2011 with new recordings that they felt were more cohesive and diverged from their past work. Accordingly, a new name seemed necessary. Their self-titled album was released on Rallye Label in Japan in early September and on Enclaves worldwide November 20.

Here's the second chapter of our sessions: Jolly Mare with his Italo Disco sound...awesome!

As the old adage goes, "What is a dj if he can't scratch?" Jolly Mare is forging a new answer to this eternal question - with the help of his PhD in vibration dynamics, his trusty turntable, and enhancements provided by the capabilities of modern software.

His turntablist skills and endless bedroom practicing led him to win the Italian 2010 IDA DJ Championship, and crate-digging is truly a daily operation for this self-confessed vinyl addict. On July 2012 he has been selected to attend the next Redbull Music Academy which will take place in New York the next May.

In recent years he has moved into the realm of production, creating slow boogie jams that emanate soulful, scientific authenticity from the core.
He's also a skilled graphic designer, guitarist and bassist, and dreams that some day his intricate robot band rhythm patterns will be capable of extra-terrestrial communication.
