Having made you sweat down in ‘The Bassement’ before revealing their ‘Truesoul’ thanks to Mendo and Danny Serrano, Clarisse celebrate reaching the big 4-0 with a double drop of Italians Harvey Hunzed. The alias of lifelong friends and colleagues Nicola Zanni and Roberto Vasapollo, HH have a history of honourable hook-ups in house both individually and as a duo. Two of the country’s finest can name Marco Lys and Joe T Vannelli as trusted collaborators, and the likes of John Digweed, M.A.N.D.Y, Pete Tong, and Danny Tenaglia as complimentary charters of their sound. This is on top of having broken bread with Sven Vath, Loco Dice, Seth Troxler and Dubfire at the top turntable at one time or another.

Fans of the recent ‘Transpose’ podcast will relish HH’s immersive slickness. ‘Sheeta’ is shaped by a tenderly hollowed flow of keyboard glances, shining as an exotically lone beam through disco wilderness done as a downplayed minimalism. Bringing a smothering deep house heat to the feel of grooving breezily and uninhibited, Harvey Hunzed take lounge aesthetics and spike them with a bassline bobbing and weaving up and over your shoulder, boosted by snatches of classic house strings and what sounds like a submarine sonar used to indicate how low Double H can go. Mendo’s beefed up beats take the original off its tiptoes and into a dancefloor kicker that could shape a summer; still balancing shades, the glass-blowing riff gets to serve greater Balearic inspiration second time around, ringing sweetly like the toll of a White Island chapel while encased in a time-honoured essence of jacking.

‘Rhayla’ weaves together wind chime/bottle top melody and a sophistication of samba-educated caginess, an inquisitive underlie of keys straining in their stubbornness. It follows the A-side with hints of hardened sexiness dictating snake-hipped movement and dancefloor sobriety; ever-ready, yet with eyes narrowed in suspicion of their being something beyond the DJ booth. A 10 minute long stretch of deep house balances comfortably on a smooth-sour axis in order to keep fires burning until sunup.

After 3 months in TOP10 TH on Beatport with releases 'Sheeta' and 'Rondo', Clarisse’s sixth release of the year takes up the baton from Kiko & Spencer K’s steadfast jam ‘Rondo’ and hands the pitcher’s mitt to London governor Ross Evans. Releases on Cocoon, Saved, Mobilee, Suara, Noir Music, Cecille, Get Physical and Toolroom Records have cemented a status part created by a spell-checking alter-ego, releasing a series of EPs as Ross Evana, on top of masterminding the Familia Recordings label and performing under the alias of Kos. 

After a year reeling off a dexterous index of deep tech sounds, ‘Curve Ball’ is a straight shot of pure tribal marked with bass drum elastic. A faint, spoken murmur in the background attempts to direct dancefloor traffic – even if the white gloves are all you see - and though there are passing elements attempting to intervene – fragments of knob-twiddling static and dub effects, and beamed chords leading to a perfectly placed breakdown – Evans is so far in the zone that he becomes an irresistible force.

The remix from Clarisse’s Mendo and Swiss spinner Yvan Genkins is a tech-tipped order to go hard until you’ve run yourself into the ground. Powered by rougher drums, headset commands, thrusting hi-hats and a singularly plucked metallic chord bulging in the dark, these regular teammates on the ones and twos hand out the equivalent of running extra laps if the original caught you flagging. The techno duet is the pair’s latest collaboration after previous time spent sparring on Defected, Nic Fanciulli’s Saved Records – another label receiving Evans’ input this year – and of course, Clarisse.

A second mover purveying patience under dimmed lights is deep house tester ‘Myriad’, seeing Evans taking it back and jacking with a firm, Detroit rhythm burying bass low into the mix. A strictly controlled exercise in keeping focus, steadily lifts itself when rays of light peer through from the perimeter. Programming a vocal loop into a guiding hologram and adding classic chord stabs opens up what is a watertight beat, and gives ‘Myriad’ a generous amount of underlying swing to keep clubbers glued below the booth.

Created in 2003, Clarisse Records illustrates Mendo’s vision of electronic music. Releasing regularly his heartcrushes produced by strongly established internationally known artists or helping newcomers who deserve to be highlighted on the scene.

Last time out on Clarisse, Ross Evans’ ‘Curve Ball’ was given extra zip and spin by sparring partners under the glitterball  Mendo & Yvan Genkins. Past primetime punch-ups from this habitual house pair have landed knockout blows on Defected, Saved Records, Toolroom, and this year on Younan Music with ‘Bodysoul’, remixed by another Clarisse favourite in Danny Serrano. With the Swiss alliance enjoying nothing more than firing off one another’s energy, they’re back side-by-side to give the Clarisse label yet more essential evidence to what has been a starry 2014.

‘What You Say’ is the retort of an uptight, classically constructed, techno/deep house rough-up that progresses as a funkily forceful grabbing of the dancefloor by the balls. A killer set of stepping keys put some wiggle into the track’s hard-nosed metronome, and an almost apologetically soulful vocal sample adds voice to a tough shuffle that keeps it straight up with no chaser. Far from the summer hotspots Clarisse have lit up this year – from Bucharest to Budapest, Paris to Pacha in Barcelona and Munich - Mendo & Genkins signal that a long hard winter awaits.  Hurrah!

Jay Lumen is the hitman for remix hire, his dirty ‘What U Hear’ tech-house version packed with a bouncy resonance that sounds like the pouring of nails into the coffin of challengers. Lumen, a prolific, multi-aliased beatsmith and compilations favourite approaching a decade of giving his best shots to Drumcode, 100% Pure, Octopus, Tronic, Suara, etc... posted a video of himself working on the remix to wholesale approval across social media – find his Facebook page and see for yourself how he offers much more than just a moody kick drum tangoing with deadweight bass notes. 

Awash with shots of tunnel-speeding skids, effects and echoes, assorted vocal snippets, and a breakdown taking from the original’s funky annoyance, the Hungarian’s time to jack is a bubbly, off-future cauldron of club comings and goings that’s pure Clarisse.

Mendo full liveset at Pacha Barcelona anniversary 2016

Check it out on Beatport : https://www.beatport.com/release/ramon-ramon/2190636

To kick off the new year Desolat welcome talented twosome Danny Serrano & Mendo
for a brilliant new three tracker.

Danny Serrano & Mendo have been frequent collaborators over the last decade, and are regulars on labels like Saved and Moon Harbour. They are high grade producers with a big sound that leans on house, techno and acid to cook up powerful dance floor
heat.

For their first track they link with Andre Butano for some atmospheric vocal work on „Ramon Ramon". It's a popping cut with big metal drums building tension as the Spanish spoken words add to the pressure. Drum fills and sweeping filters all lead to an explosive drop that unleashes loopy, low slung drums that will send the crowd wild.

The high impact „Grush" is next with tight and kinetic drums, air raid sirens and busy drum hits working you into a lather. It's a perfectly peak time, sweat inducing jam for the main room.

Closing out this EP is „Confessions", a busy and heavily percussive track that never settles, instead offering a flurry of snares, stabs, hits and whirring machine
sounds that power on with turbo charged bass. It's pure club dynamite.

Mendo – Get A Funk (Orignal Mix) [Toolroom TOOL81001Z]

https://www.beatport.com/release/get-a-funk-ep/2629608

Mendo returns to Toolroom and the Swiss house legend is back with a bang! Dubbed as the biggest tunes of Mark Knight’s recent US tour, ‘Get A Funk’ EP has already been causing quite a stir on dance floors all over the World.
 
Leading the charge on the EP, ‘Get A Funk’ is a slice of straight up, groovy, vocal-laden tech house that is so hooky, you’ll be whistling, humming and singing it aroundthe aisles of your local supermarket before you know it!

Mendo has always been masterful at creating the most infectious grooves on his records, and this is no exception; pure tribal, sexy house music at it’s very best.

The flip takes a slightly more minimal approach and relies on sublime vocal chops and a huge bass line to move those feet and it compliments the lead track perfectly

A triumphant return for the long-standing Toolroom fave, Mendo!

Mendo - Insomnia Radioshow - 18.11.20

Mendo presents his first album: Avalon.

The album includes 14 tracks of different styles such as Downtempo, House & Tech-House.
 
Mendo originally started the album in 2010 with tracks like «Aventuras», «Madrugada» and «Inocencia», but due to the fact that someone uploaded a dj set including «Aventuras», it got ripped and published on Internet before the official release. This is why «Encantos EP» was released including «Aventuras» and «Madrugada» and the plan of the album changed completely.
 
After the big success of “Encantos EP”, Mendo received many remix requests what made him postpone the release of the album a little.
 
In 2012 he left his native country, Switzerland, and moved to Malaga (Spain). He built a new recording studio and re-started the album with 14 completely new tracks.
 
Finally, in 2013, Avalon is ready to be released on his own label: Clarisse Records.

David Mendo and his debut album „Avalon‟ are as ready for the Balearics as a one-way ticket to the White Isle. With endurance-testing tribal house and funk-flicking clubbing making you feel comfortable, it‟s as if Mendo is towelling down the throbbing perspiration he‟s causing you, putting boogie in your body with sprinklings of disco glitter („Fever‟) and driving, deep and funky house deliverance that has made his sound cross-continental - and this is before you find the title on maps from Australia to Canada, France to the United States.
 
There‟s always a party going on somewhere in the world if you think he may have missed out on peak Ibiza season - Mendo could just as well have the Miami Winter Music Conference in his sights (the home of the Heat being something of a spiritual home) while staying golden until the next Spanish reign rolls around - so the perennial producer‟s platters shouldn‟t be waiting long for their next passport stamp, the head of the Clarisse label leading from the front as he continues to reap A-list blessings, having given his gift of groove to dance music academies as prestigious as Cadenza, Rekids, Saved, Get Physical and Defected.
 
Close to 100 minutes long and having marinated since 2010 – overzealous internet users spoiled the album‟s progress first time around - you shouldn‟t expect anything resembling a flash in the pan from The Club Science and Cadenza connect who‟s had releases evacuate racks since the turn of the Millennium. Therefore it‟s a given that he should ease into his 2013 long player with the expectant opener „Mintro‟, chanting as a ritual for ravers to register for. Carried over into the global flavouring that dusts the Carla Krevey-shaped „Abstract‟, a reflection of Mendo‟s own cosmopolitan background takes deep house from Spanish backstreets to a nerve-fraying theatre of shady glances and unspoken mystique.
 
Removing himself from the early tenterhooks he places the album upon, the road to „Avalon‟ starts to both wind and unwind, kissed with an exotic air („Clavelito‟) earning recompense from the motif of dance music as international language, even if the harder nosed „Everybody Love‟ wants the funk all for itself. From beach hut to ballroom, „Rising Sun‟ won‟t be an Ibiza staple just by coincidence of name alone, proving piano remains king as it gets you moving a little closer to a blue skied cloud nine along with the similarly self-explanatory „Samba‟. 

Then, „Waterborne‟, making you walk a crystal-edged tightrope between breath-catching and breath-taking, sees Mendo expanding the album‟s outlook into something more panoramic, extended markedly further on the surefooted spacewalk „Interlude‟ and the follow-up beam-up of the title track, a moment where the sweaty, buoyant masses join moist palms as they see the light in unison, swaying side to side to zero (gravity) in on the album‟s continuing theme of inclusion.
 
„Amazon‟ and „Libellule‟, closing the album by tilting chairs back and just stopping short of placing cucumber slices over your eyes, are part of an interjecting support group for when you‟re done dribbling out of every pore. “You will be surprised to discover this album has half of its tracks in a down tempo style, that people aren't used to hearing from me”, Mendo admits; but while they almost give LP‟s flow a reality check, the expansive sweep over arenas and into the nooks of backrooms makes cohesively appreciable sense. Where you imagine him lining up his famed four deck set-up like the most meticulous of domino rallies, the gaps are measured out so methodical motions link easily into unrelenting circuits that are cause for sprinkler systems to go off, or for punters to turn a pool party into a riptide.
 
A chain reaction of bass-pushed loops and Iberian ivories, Mediterranean mastery and NYC nous, is only part of the equation. “The key to a successful party is to get girls dancing. Once they dance, everybody does.” Certainly there‟s no room here for honeys whose hips can‟t hula, but „Avalon‟ should have no problem reaching out to hip-bone hustlers as the likes of the infectiously incessant „La Krika‟ and „Les Clochers de Belarus‟ get sand between your toes while telling daybreak to wait. He finishes with a declaration reassuring in its stating of the obvious: “I just want people to have a good time with my music.”

Mendo - Clavelito [Avalon - The Album]

After the smashing hits "Everybody I Got Him", "Gringo", "Aventuras" & "Inocencia" (which won the Vicious Music Award for Best Release on 2011), Mendo is back with a new powerful dancefloors killer : "La Krika", first extract of his forthcoming album entitled "Avalon" going to be released this autumn.
