People sometimes speak of something that happens frequently as happening 'ever so often'. But when something happens only occasionally, it happens every so often. Ever so often is a monthly show at Operator by Samira, a dj that usually comes back to a darker palette of melancholic electro, acid and new beat.

Faultlines - I Hear Him In My Tinnitus Sampler

OK EG  turn inwards on Silent Green, their new release on Kia's ambient label, Cirrus. Written for a live performance in Berlin, Silent Green finds balance between intimate post club dream states and low tempo rhythmic workouts.

Fragmented voices harmonise with delicate synths and organic textures on open sky.
Wooden machinery clicks and whirs on veil, opening into an inner expanse.

Optimistic warmth and melancholy blend on spirit, knitted with resonant hi hats, scrolling
wavetables and dubbed claves.

Sequenced hand drums and piccolo snares create structure for rising pads and analog bass on death adder, as subtle grooves unfurl under the watchful gaze of digital crows.
The artwork, created by the Amsterdam based digital artist @tharimcornelisse , finds the cycle of life and death in the artificial environment of a greenhouse, digitally blended with patch notes from the first time the music was performed.

PRE ORDER: http://mannequinrecords.bandcamp.com/album/mnq-027-heinrich-dressel-sighing-melodies-thru-the-graves-mlp

Mannequin is more than proud to announce the 
forthcoming release of Heinrich Dressel aka Valerio 
Lombardozzi, the italian producer and mind of one of the 
best techno-electro labels around, MinimalRome. 
 
After some marvellous releases on Legowelt's Strange Life 
and Minimal Rome, Heinrich Dressel is finally celebrating 
the use of vintage synthesizers and driven electronic 
machines, holding elements of electro and ambient at the 
same time, but breaking from the genres too, deeply 
inspired by Heinrich Dressel, the pioneering German 
archeologist sent to study in the holy city in Monte 
Testaccio, who drew what is now a major tool for study of Roman amphorae, the "Table of 
Dressel. 
 
Heinrich Dressel is placed in a sort of limbo where John Carpenter meets Drexciya, a 
sonorous journey through the darker side of the electro, taking the commands of the Elka 
Synthex, one of the most impressive polysynths in the history of music, planned and 
manifactured by Mario Maggi in the early 80s, as the commercial brother of the MCS70, 
synth that gave birth to a masterpice album like "Automat". 
 
“Sighing Melodies Thru The Graves” musically speaking can be described as a captivating 
hybrid of styles, mixing the chilling-menacing mood of the 70s / 80s lo-fi funkadelic horror 
soundtracks to outerspace synthesised soundscapes in a pure classy vein. This is 
cryptical-kosmische psychedelica with a nice electro retro touch and avant-minimalist 
vibes. An important contribution and a propulsive cinematic affair.  
 
12’’ EP Version: Limited edition of 300 copies, white vinyl 
 
DIGITAL Version: Distribution through The Orchard in the most important digital stores 
(iTunes, eMusic, Amazon, Nokia, Spotify and many others). 
 
Tracklisting: 
 
A1 Sighing melodies thru the graves 
A2 The black radiant sky 
A3 Nestled against the Aurelian walls 
B1 The fifty days of mighty lunacy 
B2 Afterlife was writ in water
