'2021 is the year of a new beginning, Andrea Crestani starts it founding “Down Deeper”, a welcoming home for his music where he can express himself at his best without compromise.

The label opens with “Space Dance EP”, 4 versatiles house tracks where classic sounds and new sounds melt together, creating hybrid mixes.

“Watching You” is the opening track, classic old school house drums merged with warm pad, engaging bass and fresh vocals, a perfect track to bring the heat on the dancefloor. The EP continues with “One Thirty”, a charming mix between a guitar riff and percussive beats, the guitar grow and turn in a synth that brings the track to another level.

Third track “Tell Me” is the most varied track, a piano chord joins classic drums, string and deep vocals overhang the mix making this track suitable for every occasion. The EP closes with “Insomnia”, the deepest track of the EP, ambient synth pads introduce robotic voices and deep grooves, a perfect track to start a set.'

The stars have aligned perfectly so it seems, as Hacobb drops his latest single 'The Sunrise Washed Your Eyes' on Manual Deep, a song which is undoubtedly his most excited production to date.

Lush soundscapes and melodies go hand in hand with rolling broken beats as the bassline rumbles in the background. This is the true definition progressive breaks in all its beauty and splendour!

Hacobb - The Sunrise Washed Your Eyes

We are pleased to present you, the first release of a very promising producer, who is behind the music project Vauban. The release called "Forsaken" was accompanied by two beautiful singles and one phenomenal remix, where the debt went to one of our favorites from the One Of A Kind family, Erdi Irmak!

Forsaken

Vauban - Melancholy (Original Mix)

'Fresh off of a remix for Grimes' "My Name is Dark", producer Julien Bracht has been powering through CV19 studio seclusion on full-power, with a distinct vision for brighter days ahead. Bracht's new album, "Now Forever One," an emblem of dark analog synthwave, is set to drop July 30. 

Bracht's first solo album under his own namesake is cut with surgical precision for the shoegazing astral sound travellers who long to break out of their pandemic quarantines, and reconvene for techno-induced ascension. The album's first single, "Melancholia," and it's accompanying video, is already breaking hearts and charts. An exquisite sonic hybrid of communal revelry and profound introspection, "Now Forever One," focuses Bracht's multilayered craftsmanship on resolving this era's angst with sensory exploration and optimism.

As a lifelong drummer, Bracht's insatiable musical energy lead him to bang out his first 3 EPs within one year of first being signed in 2011-12. In 2015 he founded the band Lea Porcelain with Markus Nikolaus in London. Their hypnotic post-rock debut release in 2017, "Hymns to the Night," gained instant acclaim from UK tastemakers Lauren Laverne, Steve Lamacq and Zane Lowe, to name a few. The lads broke back onto the international stage with dates on several major festivals around Europe, including the Reading Leeds Festival, Great Escape in Brighton and Latitude. 

Rich output combined with the inclusion of live drums in his solo live sets quickly gained Bracht recognition and slots on the global tour circuit.

"Now Forever One" forges Julien Bracht's transition from techno djing, while continuing the explorations of texture and timbre over functional song structures from Lea Porcelain, to a more open-ended search for the aural sublime — the substrate on which music, life and light glide to create momentary nodes of meaning in an increasingly meaningless sociopolitical atmosphere. These are crucial themes to Bracht's process and approach. "The intention in my music is to strengthen people's awareness and minds... I want us all to gather in spirit and stick together."

The album exemplifies Bracht's hunt for elemental juxtaposition with the warm Prophet 6's sawtooth howls and bright pads against chillingly indifferent pulsing basslines and percussion. Clocking in at just under 65 minutes, "Now Forever One's" tracks are sequenced to take the listener through the full emotional arch of a 15-hour rave, with an emphasis on those moments of collective epiphany where heaving techno floors become the perfect microcosm for an idealistic and interconnected future. Interspersed with improvisational one-takes, the album submerges the listener in polyrhythmic meditations, of which "Streets" and "Nocturne" are standout examples, and soars on the vaulted synth melodies of future dance floor favourites "Melancholia" and "Dreams of Euphoria." Sascha Ring of Apparat & Moderat puts it perfectly:

"I played “Melancholia” the night I got it at Mutek Festival in Mexico City, and instantly knew it’ll shine on a big floor at the right time. It’s just the right balance of majestic melodic deepness." The sounds are both triumphant and exploratory. Greater than the sum of its parts, Bracht's latest release hints at the artist's emerging potential for nailing our moment's zeitgeist; learning to live smaller while constantly seeking higher heights. Inhabiting the fertile ground between solitary rumination and dance-floor convenance, the launch of "Now Forever One's" lunar expedition into the techno oblivion of pandemic lockdown is oddly fitting."

KR3TURE - Slowly Feat. Kayla Diana

Ahau & Arkay Koo were called by the jungle and gifted to hear and to retain its sounds. In Paoyhàn, Loreto Peru, where the Ucayali River flows, it’s where their story begins.
The retrieved sounds, chants, and stories were transformed into magical music. 
With the release „Sonidos del Amazonas“ Ahau & Arkay Koo would like to draw the attention back to its origins: The Jungle. 
Families are forced to flee from the jungle, to study and to adapt to the society far away from it, leaving mother Nature with less guardians and further giving more freedom to the industry to salvage her. Mining, deforestation and palm tree harvests are the biggest hazards, that the precious jungle has to face.
Giving away a part of their winnings of this release, they are establishing an example, that we all should follow.
Safe mother Nature and its wonderful miracles, that we so often forget!

Nikko.Z's Dopamine White continues a strong start to the year by welcoming Argentinean duo Gabo Martin & Jesuan M to the label for their debut EP. The former, born in Viedma but now based in Rosaro has compiled an impressive discography over a short two year stretch. Releases for 3rd Avenue, One Of A Kind and Strangers Beats have all been sensational. Similarly, Jesuan M is also from Viedma but has since relocated to La Plata. Upon making his production debut just over a year ago, Jesuan has showcased his music on Antrim's Or Two Strangers, 3rd Avenue and Droid9 Limited. Having collaborated on two occasions previously, Gabo and Jesuan now unite once again for their Dopamine White debut ‘Mirage'.

Beginning with the title selection Gabo and Jesuan craft a ten minute slice of pure progressive house. Tough and commanding from the outset; it's mountainous bass tones, striking percussion and devilish effects perfectly set up a near two minute breakdown. Fragmented melodies gently rise across the centrepiece, shifting mood into more emotive territory, before getting washed away in a wave of noise and percolating effects for a powerful drop.

The companion piece ‘Sands of Time' continues the dark, rugged mood set by its predecessor. Once again backed by a muscular, well carved groove; it's a storyboard of trippy effects, haunting overlays and sinister arps which slowly saturate your senses. Further drama comes as the main break commences, melting down to a tension filled sizzle, while timely effects and gaseous sweeps shift energy into a powerful finale. It rounds out a huge two track offering from Gabo Martin & Jesuan M, who continue to build on their creativity synergy with an excellent Dopamine White debut.
