Mantissa Premieres

Coming through with Mantissa Mix 199 is Estonian based Steffan Todorović. Head of upcoming label's Coymix, Gestalt, and Hidden Assets as well as being one half of Abdul Raeva, he's given us a high energy, club focused mix stretching for just over an hour. 

'This mix is just a bunch of records and files I really dig. This was pretty improvised so it's all over the place stylistically, which is quite unlike how I usually do mixes. Just felt an urge to roll out some of my favorite fatty basslines'

Mantissa Mix 199: Steffan Todorović

The mix series and music platform Mantissa takes its first steps into the label space with Mantissa 001. Written and produced by a close friend to the Mantissa family, this unnamed and elusive artist has begun the label with a bang, three club focused, space inspired tracks designed to decimate a dancefloor or atone a night's shenanigans at an after's.
Space Cadet opens the extra-terrestrial affair, weaving from acoustic elements to electronic and eclectic synth lines. Frozen Bounce finalising the A side with a wobbly number, woven together with quick cuts and jerky elements. U10A, the most structured of a complex affair, is a warming club tool perfect for both beginning and finishing an evening. It's remix similarly suitable for any party specific scenario, produced by the infamously talented artist Ciel.

“This mix showcases the sound I have been digging in the past months. Curating among freshly new and dusty old school records I have been collecting, I am fusing the groove and sexyness of the 90s Progressive House and Trance with a bit of the harshness that often resembles EBM/Industrial. This results in a unique blend with a dark twisted edge - an edge that I fell in love with!”

"As the nights grow longer and winter settles in, Berlin's W133 is proud to present the label’s second major vinyl release. W133008, a split EP shared by label newcomer Insomniast and his friend Monibi, who returns for her second appearance, will warm up your cozy evenings or fuel sweaty club nights. This record truly offers a bit of everything.

The A-side, by Insomniast, kicks off with "Cut the Chord," a playful, house-inspired dancefloor weapon sure to light up many dancers' hearts. Following that is "Fooling Him," a break-heavy, darker rumbler packed with high energy. The third and final track on the A-side is "Istanbul," a melancholic, bassy dreamer featuring a Middle Eastern flute.

Monibi takes over the B-side, starting rough with "Your Hoe...," a 4/4 stepper which is inspired by the challenges of living and freelancing in the hustle and grind culture. The modulated vocal sample “I'm your hoe”  is about selling your labour, creativity, and skills and sometimes other parts of yourself like your boundaries.

Her second track, "...Goes on Strike," ties back to B1, offering a dreamy vibe with late '90s-style vocals, heartwarming arpeggios, and a rumbling, melodic bassline. It is a track about going on strike, interrupting the system, and taking to the streets in a joyful manner. A carefree stint of optimism.

The last track of the EP is a clashup of "Your Hoe" and "Cut the Chord" by label boss Pino Peña, combining the most energetic elements of both songs to create a powerful DJ tool.

The release is set for 1.11.24 as a limited 12” edition of 100 copies, as well as a digital release. The fully printed artwork features photography by Philipp Roth."

"This mix is my approach to an atmospheric opening set, beginning with a passage of ambient music and gradually moving through downtempo breaks, elegant tech house, hypnotic techno and more, culminating with an understated 135 BPM banger or two. I performed this set live in San Francisco this past Friday and re-recorded it at home after listening back and making various tweaks to improve the flow. I'm quite happy with the result! 

Shout outs to my good friend Pressing from San Francisco for turning me on to "Aqualung" by Spooky, which can be heard in this set."

Happy Saint Nicholas Day everyone !

Grid celebrates Christmas a bit in advance this year by offering you a special gift : a one-of-a-kind family compilation with Grid producers remixing other Grid producers tracks previously released on the label.

The project started with this simple idea, ending with 12 unpredictable matches, 12 chance encounters. A lovely way to revisit our catalog by the artists themselves, gathered together after 4 years, like catching up at a family dinner. 'Long time, no see !’bass

"Relationships are a huge part of making and sharing music for me, so any mix I make is going to be heavy on friends. The people in local underground scenes are a huge source of inspiration and support for what I do, and being a part of the ongoing dialogue of a musical community is basically my whole reason for making music and running a label these days. I recently returned from celebrating 10 Years of Oxtail Recordings with artists and friends in the US, UK, and EU and exploring those communities, so a lot of these selections highlight folks I connected with on that trip in one way or another.  The rest are just great zones ;)"

The latest release on Oleeva sees a transatlantic collaboration come to fruition between Barcelona based Luis León and Unseener, from Seattle, USA. The two artists are building quite the repertoire together having released a number of projects on their own imprint Blankhaus as well as a beautiful ambient album on Satya earlier this year. Their Dubbelsyn EP leaves the calm waters of downtempo and heads into a faster, more club oriented space. Snoqualmie is one of the more pacey tracks on the ep. It's proggy synth work and loopy percussion reminiscent of the beloved rave sound.
