For the first release of the year, Manchester-based imprint Club Romantico is set to team up with Manuka Honey for her label debut. The two-track release ‘Machete/777’ is set to release on the 3rd of March and includes collaborations with label founder Florentino and La Favi. 

Born out of a breakup, the release captures the feeling of revenge and the rage of women as Manuka Honey reclaims the tropes of Latina women being sexualised and vilified as aggressive. "It’s a reflection on revenge and protection. The ways they go hand in hand, and how catharsis can manifest sonically. Rage is the haunting yet clear emotion that ties these tracks together,” says Manuka Honey. ‘Machete’, in collaboration with Florentino, sees Manuka Honey use her voice for the first time. On the flip, ‘777’ is a dramatic team up with Latin Grammy award winner La Favi. 

‘Machete/777’ is the beginning of a busy year for Manuka Honey who will be embarking on a Machete tour from the 23rd February, traveling across Asia, before a string of summer festival dates including REWIRE, Sonar and Melt Festival.

SIGFRIDA, Eisebelle - Dabelle Star [PRM003]

En esta colaboración internacional, @eisebelle y @sigfrid4 usan el marco del club para embarcarse en un viaje emocional.
Haciendo uso de glitches, conversaciones de anime y sonoridades angelicales, se alejan por completo de lo convencional en un club tool, optando por plantear una propuesta estructural y sonora fresca, visceral, divertida y melancólica.

Tal como en los intercambios por videollamada en los que nació la canción, ambos artistas toman el spotlight sonoro por momentos: los bajos estridentes de SIGFRIDA y el sound design tajante de Eisabelle se entrelazan en esta conversación musical, de la cual surge Dabelle Star ✮ ⋆ ˚｡⋆｡°✩

"Esperamos se haga notar la sensibilidad volcada a este proyecto <3 "

@lao & @otherislands - De Alguna Manera (taken from 'Lo Que Queda, Vuelve', out on the 18th of June via @terminalrec)

The influence of British electronic music genres has been everpresent in the work of Lao - take jungle for example which left its traces throughout his whole discography, starting from 2012's track 'Mangle' all the way until the praised album 'Chapultepec' released last year. After all, it is also Aphex Twin tattoo that graces his forearm as a testament to the life-changing experience that was stumbling across the music of this visionary musician. Half-jokingly, maybe that's why Other Islands, a London-born producer, was such a great companion for Lao to create a collaborative EP 'Lo Que Queda, Vuelve', a three track release which adds baile funk, dembow, grime and ballroom to the pool that already includes the aforementioned jungle. On a more serious note though, Other Islands is definitely the one to watch as proved by his latest outputs - a remix for Lila Tirando a Violeta produced alongside Imaabs and a track for Precious Metals compilation.
