Mannequin Records is proud to present a true pearl of the Italian Minimal Synth from the 80's. Tommy De Chirico founded the post-punk band Politburo in Turin during 1981 togheter with Maurizio Rubinetti (Sick Rose) and Massimo Aluffi (Ivan Siberia). On his own, he released the 7" "Close Your Eyes / Flower Into The Factory", produced and recorded at TKS Studio by the Monuments’ Mauro Tavella between 1982 and 1983 and subsequently released by Turin’s Shirak Records in 1984. 
When Politburo split in 1986, Tommy continued to experiment with various projects and sounds, including Thugs, Quiet (with members of Monuments and Deafear), Noxeda and Lacrimal, with whom he still plays today. 

Presented here are also 3 bonus demo tracks: a rare version of "Close Your Eyes", and 2 out-takes from 1983, "Vuh-Ya" and "Tuxedo Dance".

The original graphic cover was realized by Bruno Zanichelli aka Pennarex, an underground artist from Turin, who died prematurely some years after. 

For 'Flower Into The Factory' Luca Pastore from Chromagain realized a videoclip. We are really happy to announce that we were able to restore it after 25 years.

- 3 Bonus Tracks 
- Artwork designed by Mushy and Alessandro Adriani

Tommy De Chirico - Flower Into The Factory

http://mannequinrecords.bandcamp.com/album/mnq-042-musumeci-schwarz-morgen-zusammen-lp

Mannequin Records is proud to present one of the most rare and unknown Italian Minimal Synth bands from the 80's. 

Musumeci were formed in Turin at the beginning of 1985, from an idea of Mauro M. (synthesizers - ex guitar player of Rude Pravo) and Franco G. (programming - ex noise maker of Errata-S-Corrige).

The group was founded as a link and expression of various experiences, aimed, at least initially, to highlight the individual personalities of the members. The formation settles after six months of testing with the final entry of Laura G. (ex-keyboardist of Rude Pravo) and Paul C. (voice of K Position).  Musumeci were playing several shows, preceded by long monologues in which find space rumorism, electrical scans, voices, screams, etc.

Presented here are the two super rare demo tapes that Musumeci recorded in 1985 ("Schwarz Morgen") and in 1986 ("Zusammen"), on their own label Zeltweg.

- 12’’ LP on black vinyl, 33 RPM - Limited edition of 300 copies
- Artwork designed by Mushy and Alessandro Adriani

  Strongly recommended to fans of D.A.F., Severed Heads, Liaisons Dangereuses, Single Gun Theory.

Mannequin is so happy to release under its wings one of the best talents in the minimal synth new scene that you better don’t miss.  
 
We are talking about the serbian duo Sixth June – Laslo Antal and Lidija Andonov – who are rising from the mostly unknown music scene in Belgrade but nowdays re-based in the analog paradise called Berlin.  
 
Sixth June started their musical adventure back in 2007 and in their tracks you can let your heart listen their deep influence for everything that has a synthesizer sound and found its origin in the Eighties; the duo represents perfectly the two sides of the same coin, in fact while Laslo is producing obscure but expressive, powerful and danceable textures, on the back side the voice of Lidija is living the shape to a wobbling atmosphere you won’t escape from. 
 
Their debut album “Everything”  released on Genetic Music’s side label No EBM Blanc had 
got an enormous positive feedback from  the Minimal Electronics-fans worldwidethey were 
playing live at BIM Belgian Fest 2010 in December 2010 togheter with Absolute Body 
Control, Portion Control, Twice A Man and many other amazing bands. 
 
Limited edition of 500 hand-numbered copies. 
 
Tracklist: 
 
A1 – Back For A Day  
A2 – Today 
A3 – Come Closer 
B1 – Inside 
B2 – 82

Reaching almost a decade of high-hitting productions, Jamie Jones unveils the mighty ‘Siberian Express’ on his own Hot Creations imprint. Featuring three distinct and varied tracks, this release sees Jamie at his best and proves once again why he is still riding high at the top.
 
‘I've made a lot of music over the last year and it's all coming out over the next few months. ‘Siberian Express’ is  definitely one that stands out and I've road tested it everywhere. Really excited for people to hear it.’ - Jamie Jones

Title track ‘Siberian Express’ begins blissfully with a hypnotic melody that leads into a deep swelling bass, a forceful beat and intricate layers of warbling keys. An epic breakdown rises from grumbling synths culminating with Jamie’s signature bassline and spacey stabs, as powerful builds fall in and out of play. On the flip, ‘Captain Kirk’s Battle Dance’ is solid and rolls with infectious looped basslines that steers through trippy FX. On a darker tip, ‘The 16th Floor’ is rich and deep with mesmerising synths, layered throughout over a tight groove. 

o+ Undoubtedly the pioneer of the new wave of house music, Jamie Jones is a force to be reckoned with. Alongside running Hot Creations and sub-label Hot Trax, Jamie has also started his new label Emerald City, which will release music with a greater crossover appeal. 2015 has brought forward a huge output of music from Jamie including a stunning collaboration with Kate Simko, London Electronic Orchestra and Jem Cooke on Emerald City followed by the next huge hit from his band Hot Natured called ‘Off World Lover’. Not to mention this impressive solo three tracker on Hot Creations. 

o+o Aside from spending hours in the studio and managing an intense touring schedule, Jamie also runs his night Paradise at DC10, arguably the most popular weekly night in Ibiza. Its safe to say there is no sign of slowing down for Jamie any time soon.
