Brazil-born tastemaker Althoff steps up to Elif’s Marginalia label with new EP ‘Neblina’ that comes with a standout remix from Xinobi & early support from Echonomist and Oostil. 

Based in Spain, Althoff has made his mark on the scene with superb tunes on the likes of Borders of Light, Katermukke, and Bar 25 with blends of organic, melodic house and techno to create his own sound. He has had support from the likes of Solomun and Adriatique and his sound continues to evolve whilst his DJ sets range with impactful tension to immersive organic beats that have seen him play across Europe and South America. 

Meanwhile, fellow remixer Xinobi is an underground veteran with credits on the likes of the Discotexas he co-founded as well as Anjunadeep, Cercle, Frau Blau, Do No Sit and MoBlack. He has remixed a diverse range of artists from Nicolas Jaar to Toro Y Moro and dropped three well received albums as well as having written and recorded the original soundtrack for the acclaimed Portuguese TV Series ‘Luz Vermelha’. He has also collaborated with Lazarusman and had support from Laurent Garnier, Keinemusik, Adriatique and more. 

With a blend of ambient, downtempo, and electronic elements, Althoff crafts a mesmerising atmosphere that envelops listeners in a misty, dreamlike realm on his new EP. "Neblina" stands as a testament to the producer's skillful craftsmanship and his ability to transport listeners to otherworldly realms through his music. Meanwhile, the second track from the EP "Vibora," offers a hypnotic and immersive journey characterised by its pulsating rhythms and otherworldly melodies, which intertwine to create a mesmerising sonic tapestry. 

Xinobi's remix of Althoff's "Neblina" offers a dynamic reinterpretation that injects new energy into the ethereal atmosphere of the original. Building on Althoff's foundation, Xinobi introduces pulsating rhythms and driving basslines whilst maintaining the dreamy essence of the original, yet infuses it with a dance floor-ready groove that captivates listeners and ignites the senses. Xinobi's signature production style shines through, as he expertly manipulates layers of sound to create a rich and immersive experience. 

Speaking on the release, label head Elif shares their story, “Althoff collaborated with me on the first release on my label, he’s a good friend that I met through music in Barcelona. He also released on our VA so he’s one of the artists who’s released most on Marginalia so far. Also, remixer Xinobi is one of the kindest, nicest and most humble humans in our scene and I think through a Brazilian/Portuguese connection they connected well with Althoff. I am super happy to welcome a legend like Xinobi to the imprint and our label staple Athoff back too.” 

Marking three fine cuts signed to Marginalia, the new EP marks an outstanding new release from the essential Althoff.

PREMIERE: Althoff - Neblina (Original Mix) [Marginalia]

demos: elif@marginalialabel.com

The conceptual brainchild of Turkish-born, Barcelona-based DJ and producer, Elif @elifmusique, Marginalia is a new home for largely undiscovered electronic artists to express their unbridled creativity within a framework of absolute sonic freedom. Established as a platform to support, nurture and develop the incredible output of the producers whose music forms the backbone of Elif’s DJ sets worldwide, Marginalia represents a forward-thinking community that looks to discover and bolster the profiles of the hardest working – often least rewarded – individuals in the music industry; individuals without whom the scene’s ecosystem would collapse entirely.

A safe haven for the organic development and progress of artistic creativity
and intellectual collaboration, the concept of Marginalia itself dates back to the 11th Century and references the wildly inventive notes, markings, doodles and sketches made in the margins of medieval books and scriptures — a place where the human imagination was free to run wild.

“Whether we are aware of it or not, one of the fundamental ways we all digest what we read, hear, see and experience is to absorb the thoughts, musings and broken fragments of others”, says Elif. “It’s these very fragments that help us connect ideas and spur critical thinking, and it perfectly represents the type of creative dialogue I’m looking to achieve with Marginalia”.

Stimulating uninhibited creativity and avant-garde thinking by creating a land of self-expression, artistic freedom and collaboration, Elif now looks to
translate this age-old tradition into a twenty-first century paradigm and give back to the incredible pool of artists to whom she owes so much.

Unwavering in her mission, Elif’s commitment to showcasing the very finest
electronic music whilst supporting burgeoning talent stems from her resolute pledge to the positive evolution of our beloved scene. Expounding this mission with a clear artistic vision running through all aspects of the label’s output and sound design, Marginalia looks to contribute to the on-going development of underground electronic music in both a refreshing and sustainable new way.
