With release nr. 11, Luv Shack Records are once again eager to exalt the diversity of their releases, while keeping up the quality.

LUV011 is the split EP of the two up and coming electronic music duos "Manhooker" and "Space Echo". Whilst both projects are still relatively new to the scene, they have equally made a stir with their first releases.

Manhooker consists of the two Berliners by choice Tomasz “Guiddo” Switala and Sebastian “Mavin” Magassouba. Their first release appeared on Ostgut Ton´s sublabel 'Unterton' and their second EP was recently released on german heavy hitters 'Sonar Kollektiv' - a collab with ex New Yorker Snax, featuring a remix by Justus Köhncke.

With 'Pushin & Shovin', Manhooker are once again evoking the spirit of classic soulful house hymns. It's an uplifting mix of 90s organs, filtered arpeggios and thick drums all held together by an acid bassline and Mavin´s shimmering vocals. And not to forget the trumpet solo!

The remix of 'Pushin & Shovin' comes from Brazilian wunderkind ROTCIV (who has already remixed Manhooker on their Unterton release). He strips off the smoothness of the original in favor of a more raw and analogue vibe. Its groove seems like a merger of modern electro and classic house, and although ROTCIV´s trademark stabs and pads are used quite ecstatically on this remix, the song structure remains just as strong as in the original.

On The flipside we have Space Echo, the duo of Viennese producer caTekk and (Luv Shack`s very own) Lee Stevens. Their first ever production as a duo was a remix for none other than Austra on Domino Records.

They're offering two equally powerful cuts on the B-side; 'Soul Power' is nothing short of a club burner. A mighty and continuously building ride of funk organs and disco drums, all with a delightfully modern touch. When the vocal kicks in for the first time, ringing in the break, the audience will surely fall into a frenzy when exposed to it! The disco guitars are just the icing on the cake.

'Soul People' takes a slightly more sensual path. Expect dreamy rhodes, dubbed out percussive organs, an almost reggae worthy bassline, a painfully sweet vocal hook and a sharp rhythm that make this track a perfect choice for every warmup, after-hours and daytime set!

With all its ingredients, LUV011 will provide something for everyone who loves electronic music with soul!

Space Television (Rayko Cosmic Electrik Mixtape)

Hailing from Guadalajara, Mexico, Hotmood is a DJ and producer with a vivid passion for grooves has been quietly shaping the landscape of disco-inflected electronic music. Drawing from boogie, funk, deep house, and vintage 70’s sonic textures, his work crafts an embrace of dance floor euphoria and warm nostalgia. Rich bass, shimmering synth lines, retro vocal chops, and rhythms that swing this is the sound palette he uses to bridge past and present.

Hotmood is known for balancing finely chopped samples and old‐school feel with crisp modern production. Whether it’s editing disco loops, laying down deep disco house, or venturing into nu-disco territory, his tracks manage to retain emotional soul as much as they deliver groove. With releases on labels such as Nervous, Starcreature, Kolour, De La Groove, Large Music, plus his own imprint Discoweey, he has established both credibility and creative control over his output. Notably, his Disco Flava EP brought together originals like “Brazilian Groove” and remixes by artists like Felipe Gordon.

Touring and DJing around Mexico, USA, Canada, Europe, Asia, he has earned the respect of audiences for his ability to read the crowd while maintaining his signature sound. Hotmood continues to push disco and funk influences forward into electronic music without losing heart. Each track is an invitation: to move, to feel, and to reconnect with the timeless joy of groove.
