Switzerland’s Mina Records turns to the new partnership of Our Loving Sun for its 12th release, and serves it up with a standout remix from countryman Ripperton. Our Loving Sun is a new band project that sees Swede Anders Ilar and American Chris Yard team up to create a melange of ambient, dub techno, acid, pop and synth wave music with plenty of orchestral additions and guest appearances. 

Opening track ‘To Disappear’ is a swelling electronic composition filled with subtle bass guitar riffs, soaring vocals and clouds of melody that all blissful blend into one another. Like Trentemoller but at his most warm and romantic, this is rich and ethereal music. 
The same track gets remixed by Tamed boss Ripperton off the back of his own latest full length. The result is a typically long – 8 minutes –track that is epic in ambition. It takes a while to unfold from just a kick drum, but by the time it’s in full flow is a dramatic
concoction of frosty percussion, chilly icicle like melodies and a frazzled bassline that would fit perfectly into one of Ame’s most cultured sets.

‘Come Apart’ is more rooted to a steady and propulsive kick drum but again the soundscape above is awash with various guitar lines and celestial synths that light up the track from behind with a heavenly glow. There are shades of everything from Joy Division to Depeche Mode, Kraut rock to New Wave bottled up within, and it makes for absorbing listening. 

Finally, ‘One Source’ slows to a deep dub wise swagger. The vocals are haunting and ghostly – so too the lone guitar strings that get plucked – and the whole thing sounds like a huge underwater chamber with gentle currents churning and piercing beams of light shooting down through it all. 

Our Loving Sun manage to sound organic and electronic, old and new at exactly the same time. Is a clever tick masterfully pulled off, and recognition must go to Mina for unearthing this exciting pair in the first place.


M012 - OUR LOVING SUN - TO DISAPPEAR

Masaya’s ‘Remember’ on her Mina Records is an evocative, low-slung house track led by tender, sultry vocals. Tight drums are marked by pure nostalgia, backed with acute low-end and echoing percussion that pushes the track forward. Cadenza Records co-founder Quenum completely reimagines the cut, its soft pads brought to the fore, while the six-minute remix rides a chugging techno beat alongside the original’s drifting vocals.
Chilean-born, Switzerland-based Masaya has been a driving force in the Swiss electronic music scene since 2001 while releasing on notable labels like Chapter 24, klaus:elle, and John Digweed’s Bedrock. As the founder of Mina Records, she’s worked with Swiss talents like Ripperton, Agnes and Chaton, as well as international producers like Rene Breitbarth, Pawas, Clara Moto, and Petar Dundov. Remixer Quenum is a revered figure in the techno scene with a career spanning over 30 years, starting as part of Access 58, performing live at iconic venues and collaborating with artists like The Advent and Umek. Later, Quenum co-founded Cadenza Records with Luciano while putting out releases on prolific labels such as Transmat, Cocoon, and Fabric.

Switzerland’s Mina Records returns with a brand new single from label boss Masaya featuring two news cuts of emotive House music backed with remixes from Mihai Popoviciu and 
Anders Ilar…

Claudia Ayala AKA Masaya has been a respected member of House music’s inner sanctum since the release of her collaborative single with Ripperton on the Num Records label back in 2006. Since then she has gone on to release through labels such as Perspectiv and Meerestief and has launched her own Mina Records imprint, a label that has boasted music from the likes of Clara Moto, Pawas and Nhar as well as Ayala herself.Now Masaya is ready for the release of her brand new single, the 11th
release on the Mina label, entitled the ‘Rosas EP’.

The EP kicks off with the original version of ‘Ganas’, a soothing and rolling slice of offbeat, bass driven House music that features subtle vocal parts, understated melodies and an incessant bouncing vibe, quality stuff. The original version is accompanied by a remix from Romanian producer Mihai Popoviciu who strips things back and delivers a techy and hypnotic mix that provides a solid alternative.

The B side opens with the ‘dub version’ of ‘Get You’ a deep and heady piece of melodic techno that marries gentle emotive elements with a rock solid bass driven groove and Ayala’s haunting vocals. Once again the original is backed with a remix, this time provided by the prolific Swedish producer Andes Ilar who turns in and intense and atmospheric mix that journeys into gothic house territory, sublime.

Mina Records has delivered another sterling release from label boss Masaya, enjoy!

Song 01 - A little part of shade feat. Germain Umdenstock

This is the first song of the album. I did it with my good friend Germain. 
We were in Italy for holidays and we recorded that song by a hot day in july at the rooftop. 
The original recording has way more elements basically but after several listening i was more convinced that the guitars all alone will be the best way to release it and i chose it to open the album.
