Fantastic Friends Radio Show w/ Mandarin - 14.06.21

For the opening of the DEEPtHREEM Minimal Room Series, we invite Mandarin (https://soundcloud.com/mandarin-ffr), the co-founder of Fantastic Friends Recordings, to present our concept of deep minimal.

Born in 1975, Mandarin starts djing in 1995 in France. It’s in Geneva-Switzerland that his career has taken another turn. His jobs as owner of a vinyls shop during the 200’s, event organizer and artistic director of some night-club’s mades him know as nobody how to drive a party. Doing radio shows and djing all over Europe for more than 20 years (A Redbull Tour in Czech Republic still stay is best souvenir), he shared decks with some of famous Dj’s of the past and actual scene as Gene Farris, Onionz, Lil’Louis, Harry Romero, Djul’z, Craig Alexander, Dave Angel, Steeve Bicknell, Terry Francis and many more…

His sets explore all the trends of undergound electronic music with the sole aim of making people dance, dream and travel. His tracks are always mixed with great precision and he offers a selection as surprising as it is coherent. Ghetto house, dub house, melodic and progressive deep-tech, minimal house and techno are all the component of his music styles.

Since April 2021, Mandarin is the programmer of the Fantastic Friends Radio Show’s on Bloop London Radio, Manilla Community Radio, GDS.FM & Maxximixx Underground.

Over & Over EP

K-lil - Over & Over [Buta Records]

premiere: K-lil - Over & Over [Buta Records]

"TUGa E‑24" by Caio R opens with hypnotic, minimal percussion that unfolds with surgical precision. A deep, dub‑infused bassline reverberates through, grounding the track in a rich techno ambiance. Carefully placed vocal stabs — echoing and fragmented - appear like fleeting signals in the mix, adding warmth and character without detracting from the trance‑like focus.

Lunfardo presents “Aurora" introducing the fourth conceptual album that deep dives into Uruguayan culture and misticism once again.
On March 3, 1976, Ángel María Tonna, owner of the ¨La Aurora¨ ranch in Paysandú, observed a strange flash of light near his shed. Upon approaching, he found a spaceship suspended 75 meters high, with an intense circular light that caused radiation effects later discovered in the ground. Simultaneously, a blackout occurred in the nearby cities of Paysandú and Salto, and several witnesses of lights crossing the sky were documented in the local press by major newspapers such as El Telegrafo.
Thereafter, Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, visited Uruguay and the ranch several times, eight times to be exact. He shared photos of flying objects with Tonna and left a drawing in the house depicting space and "supreme beings." Despite UFO reports throughout Uruguay, ¨La Aurora¨ remains a mystical place. The truth is out there, or as it is sayed beneath there.
“Aurora EP¨ immerses us in two sides divided between Molen and Qasio. Side A invites us to explore the inexplicable in an abduction, a “close encounter” (Encuentro cercano) that transports us directly on a journey through outer space but also immerses us in the mysteries of "Ulimen." Side B offers a profound guide to worlds of "dark matter” (Materia Oscura), disconcerting presences, “orbs”(Orbes), and galaxies above our heads.

PREMIERE: B1. Qasio - Orbes (LFDO0004)

Dj set recorded for CLVBS (Floor 44).

CLVBS was born from this need: to create a vibrant bridge between the real and the digital — a space for freedom of expression, simple to use and future-facing, yet deeply rooted in the values of club culture: music, community, and presence. CLVBS is a new-generation immersive streaming app, where users can listen to DJ sets live or on demand in 3D environments inspired by clubs around the world. Each user can create and customize their avatar, and step into virtual dancefloors alongside fellow music lovers from across the globe. Think of it as the “party Sims” — a world where underground music isn’t silenced by algorithms or diluted by the pressure to go viral. No need to film. No need to follow trends. Just the music. The moment. The connection.

Mandarin @ CLVBS (Floor 44) - 21.08.25

In October 2025, Västkransen Records releases its 10th record — a milestone double 12" vinyl compilation featuring eight tracks from some of Stockholm’s finest dance music producers, DJs and club heads. A celebration of the city’s underground electronic music scene, Västkransen 10 brings together familiar names from the label’s past as well as DJs making their record debut. What they all share is a vital role in the sound and spirit of Stockholm’s dancefloors today.

Launched in 2017, Västkransen Records grew out of Gården – a seasonal open-air party held beneath a highway on the border between the neighborhoods of Västberga and Midsommarkransen. Set in a place where industrial landscapes meet nature, this location has shaped both the party’s unique atmosphere and its blend of funk grooves, disco sounds and rawer house beats. Starting a label was a way to keep that energy going and showcase artists and selectors with few outlets in a city often drawn to darker and harder strains of dance music.

Get the record at your local shop, or order it from your prefered online dealer.
