RELEASES by Mavin

With release nr. 11, Luv Shack Records are once again eager to exalt the diversity of their releases, while keeping up the quality.

LUV011 is the split EP of the two up and coming electronic music duos "Manhooker" and "Space Echo". Whilst both projects are still relatively new to the scene, they have equally made a stir with their first releases.

Manhooker consists of the two Berliners by choice Tomasz “Guiddo” Switala and Sebastian “Mavin” Magassouba. Their first release appeared on Ostgut Ton´s sublabel 'Unterton' and their second EP was recently released on german heavy hitters 'Sonar Kollektiv' - a collab with ex New Yorker Snax, featuring a remix by Justus Köhncke.

With 'Pushin & Shovin', Manhooker are once again evoking the spirit of classic soulful house hymns. It's an uplifting mix of 90s organs, filtered arpeggios and thick drums all held together by an acid bassline and Mavin´s shimmering vocals. And not to forget the trumpet solo!

The remix of 'Pushin & Shovin' comes from Brazilian wunderkind ROTCIV (who has already remixed Manhooker on their Unterton release). He strips off the smoothness of the original in favor of a more raw and analogue vibe. Its groove seems like a merger of modern electro and classic house, and although ROTCIV´s trademark stabs and pads are used quite ecstatically on this remix, the song structure remains just as strong as in the original.

On The flipside we have Space Echo, the duo of Viennese producer caTekk and (Luv Shack`s very own) Lee Stevens. Their first ever production as a duo was a remix for none other than Austra on Domino Records.

They're offering two equally powerful cuts on the B-side; 'Soul Power' is nothing short of a club burner. A mighty and continuously building ride of funk organs and disco drums, all with a delightfully modern touch. When the vocal kicks in for the first time, ringing in the break, the audience will surely fall into a frenzy when exposed to it! The disco guitars are just the icing on the cake.

'Soul People' takes a slightly more sensual path. Expect dreamy rhodes, dubbed out percussive organs, an almost reggae worthy bassline, a painfully sweet vocal hook and a sharp rhythm that make this track a perfect choice for every warmup, after-hours and daytime set!

With all its ingredients, LUV011 will provide something for everyone who loves electronic music with soul!

Exploitation (Remixes)

Exploitation (DJ Sneak Remix)

Format: Download | Releasedate: 17.07.2015

It was late last fall when “Walk On”, the sophomore solo album by musical allrounder Arnold Kasar came out. Now, almost a year later, five of the twelve album tracks have been reworked and remixed over the last few months by a selected armada of DJs and producers from within or with close bonds to the Sonar Kollektiv family circle.
The selection of these reconstructors here at work couldn't have been more diverse and hence more thrilling. Starting with Polish producer Guiddo (one half of the Sonar Kollektiv act Manhooker) carving “Dawning” – in the vocal as well as in the instrumental mix – into a Balearic gem straight out the mid-eighties.
Also closely connected to Sonar Kolletiv for quite some time now is Moscow producer and whiz kid Phil Gerus, currently based in Tokyo. Previously known for his chillwavy, glitch downbeat, this time round Gerus turns “Dance To The Mallet” into a proper house tune with the common breakdown and 808 hi-hats. The same track has also been reworked by Pitto from Utrecht, Japanese producer Kazuki Yamaguchi aka Kez YM and Venice based DJ/producer Albert Marzinotto. Contrary to Phil Gerus, Pitto hauls Lisa Bassenge's (singer of the legendary Sonar Kollektiv act Micatone) voice completely to the foreground and accompanies her with vibes and a pulsating beat. It's in the same fashion Marzinotto gets to work, but his remix is directed more openly to the dancefloor, equipping it with a Chicago House aesthetic. Kez YM's remix pushes back Bassenge's vocals again, using them primarily as an euphoriant effect in this choicest deep house track.
On the other hand the remix for “Gone” by Robot Koch has nothing to do with club music. Here it's Arnold Kasar's voice duetting with Susan Pawlak which is sprinkled very cautious into Koch's sombre dub electronics. For “So-Called Lover” we have Paskal & Urban Absolutes, Al Lindrum and Tubbe contributing three fantastic remixes. Whereas the one by Tubbe only partly uses the original material as a template, but still succeeds to deal fairly with Kasar's lyrics and therewith conjures almost a new song up out of nothing. To close this remix package rich in variety Paul “Snax” Bonomo and Mavin LeMagass (1/2 of Manhooker) attaches a finale like a thunderbolt. Their remix (BonomoLeMagass) for “Masquerade” (somehow connects all the loose joints of every form of house music of the last 30 years. That's why there's also the dub version included, paying tribute to Acid House furthermore. This alone is worth the purchase of this brilliant collection.

Mix For Tokyo - Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu

'Strutting out of Bordello A Parigi comes the mysterious Manhooker declaring proudly I Am Disco. With Miss Plug Inn the track is a smouldering piece of sex soaked funk. Breathy vocals, deep bass and melting synths come together in a cocktail of late night slow dance sleekness. Three fellow Berlin inhabitants add their slant to this midnight music medley. S.Sic pushes effortlessly smooth lines, raising rhythms and pulses with a grooving remake. Massimiliano Pagliara keeps the lights low as hints of house silkily introduce the flip. The track builds and lyrics drip with romance.  Piano keys and subtle harmonies blend for a blazer that will undoubtedly ignite floors. As morning dawns Bonomo LeMagass keeps the fires burning. The 90s echo in a finale steeped in softened keys and warming chords for a cracking close. An addictive introduction to the world of Manhooker.'
