Mannequin is so happy to release under its wings one of the best talents in the minimal synth new scene that you better don’t miss.  
 
We are talking about the serbian duo Sixth June – Laslo Antal and Lidija Andonov – who are rising from the mostly unknown music scene in Belgrade but nowdays re-based in the analog paradise called Berlin.  
 
Sixth June started their musical adventure back in 2007 and in their tracks you can let your heart listen their deep influence for everything that has a synthesizer sound and found its origin in the Eighties; the duo represents perfectly the two sides of the same coin, in fact while Laslo is producing obscure but expressive, powerful and danceable textures, on the back side the voice of Lidija is living the shape to a wobbling atmosphere you won’t escape from. 
 
Their debut album “Everything”  released on Genetic Music’s side label No EBM Blanc had 
got an enormous positive feedback from  the Minimal Electronics-fans worldwidethey were 
playing live at BIM Belgian Fest 2010 in December 2010 togheter with Absolute Body 
Control, Portion Control, Twice A Man and many other amazing bands. 
 
Limited edition of 500 hand-numbered copies.

Mannequin is proud to present new music from Austin,TX 
based full-analog-synth quartet S U R V I V E. Their first LP 
is a highly anticipated release and we're more than thrilled 
that the vinyl is finally out. 
 
"An analogue incarnation of Rustie taking a couple of notes 
from Eduard Artemiev’s poetic account of a supernova 
imploding upon itself in a storm of strobe lights which are but 
morse signals from God’s ship as it sails across the empty 
black sludge of space, annotations in a sheet music for a 
jam bound to send Astronomers all over the planet into a 
frenzy of air keyboard slapping and knob twiddling"-20 Jazz Funk Greats  
 
Adam Jones, Kyle Dixon, Mark Donica, Michael Stein form the analog synth purist band 
SURVIVE, considered as one of Austin's most important live electronic mainstays. With 
Austin's diverse underground synth scene starting to boil over (see: Neon Indian's world 
domination, Silent Diane's new single on Matador imprint True Panther, //TENSE// early 
EBM shocks and Sleep ∞ Over's debut on Hippos In Tanks), SURVIVE is creeping up, not 
far behind.  
 
LP Version: Limited edition of 300 copies, 140 gr clear vinyl 
 
DIGITAL Version: Distribution through The Orchard in the most important digital stores 
(iTunes, eMusic, Amazon, Nokia, Spotify and many others).

Pop. 1280 - Step into the Grid

Mannequin is more than enthusiastic to announce the re-release of both the LPs (“Multiple Choice”) from 1980 and “Regular Guys” from 1985) plus the 2 singles seven inches “Saturday Night / Sunday Morning” and “A Circuit Like Me” from this legendary minimal synth band from Australia.  
 
The group was an integral part of the early electronic music scene in Australia and their releases have become a collector’s item in Europe, as they are mostly impossibile to find. 

The Metronomes first appeared in Melbourne in 1979, initial members were rock journo-synth player Al Webb, the bass player Andrew Picouleau (Secret Police, Sacred Cowboys) and the synth-pioneer Ash Wednesday, nowdays a live tour member of Einsturzende Neubauten.

First single: GENERAL RELIEF off THE PRESENT MOMENT'S new album CRUEL Released via COREDARK RECORDS-LOS ANGELES- Spring 2014

General Relief

Septic Underground - Cyber Attack

The Coombe began as a soundtrack collaboration between Karen Sharkey and Samuel De La Rosa (Led Er Est) for some animated short films Karen was producing while living in Queens, NY. After their move to Texas in 2012, further experimenting resulted in longer songs, noise suites, and field recordings that later would represent the essence of this EP.
 
The Coombe’s debut EP is an astonishingly graceful and multifaceted creature that effortlessly synthesizes psych rock, minimal folk and electronica.
 
Born and in part recorded in the desert, The Coombe is comprised of six mesmerizing gems that provide a rarefied glimpse into a touching and  liquid soundscape.
 
These are songs for the enamored.
 
*Limited Edition of 300 copies with artwork by Giandomenico Carpentieri. 

Strongly recommended to fans of Five Or Six, Flaming Tunes, Led Er Est.

The Coombe - B2 - Praying Mantis

We are very pleased to be releasing the long awaited debut LP by Nottingham’s finest purveyors of psychedelic noise, The Cult Of Dom Keller.
 
Partially compiled from re-mastered and reworked versions of tracks previously included in the band’s self-released series of EPs, this new incarnation of The Cult Of Dom Keller’s sounds also features three unreleased recordings.
 
This is the absolute first time that these recordings become available on vinyl, a format that perfectly complements the band’s meticulously textured and carnal sound.
 
A collection of fuzzily enrapturing and lysergically tinged compositions with an electronically infused backbone, the band’s debut might appear as a slight deviation from Mannequin’s traditional aesthetics. We have no doubt though that our connoisseur audience will appreciate the novelty and will instantly fall for these stupefying songs.
 
*Limited edition of 500 copies. 

Strongly recommended to fans of Spectrum, Spacemen 3, Faust, Wooden Shjips, Moon Duo, Psychic Ills, The Brian Jonestown Massacre and 13th Floor Elevators.
