Sonzeira x Gilles Peterson Essential Mix

With this record, The Como Mamas join forces with the boys of Menahan Street Band (billed pseudonymously here as The Radiant Rhythm Band) to lay bare the funkier side of gospel music. 

“The rhythms we all play were already right there in their vocals,” explains drummer Homer Steinweiss, “so it felt natural to lay down the grooves behind them.” Thomas “T-N-T” Brenneck, the up-and-coming producer who brought us both Menahan Street Band and Charles Bradley, presided over the collaboration, which took place in the old Dunham Studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

The Como Mamas - Out of the Wilderness

Labelboss Andreas Henneberg has not been on the lazy side this fall traveling the globe playing massive shows in addition to releasing some heavy hitting EPs, and yet again he is ready with a proper dancefloor banger. This time we are introduced to a rather playful and slightly quirky side of Andreas, where “Daydreaming” takes the lead. The track is full of twists and turns with a playful synth working along a catchy groove accompanied by vocals telling you exactly how it is. It is a upbeat mood with plenty of dancefloor craze. Continuing the journey is “Landshut”, a powerful bassline driven tune in true Henneberg style. Synths pulsate and twirl throughout the track in this excellently constructed soundscape, all ready to make the listener let go and join the ride.

Andreas Henneberg - Daydreaming // SNOE035

Tiygo / ABU059 
Artist: Mukk, Alexey Union 
Genre: Melodic House / Techno
Release Date: 2019-01-30

Dusk Till Dawn

Let It Ride (Avision Remix)

Musumeci is back on Batti Batti with a new Ep of three tracks remarking his sound between the 'old school' deep house and classic chicago traxx's flavour. The Ep is opened by 'Blue' and its anthemic bass line: A dreamy trip on alternating current where a square wave that bounces since the first second of the track serves as a perfect launch base for the fascinating synth interlacement that slides on top of the simple but effective 808 drum patterns. Follows the title track 'Walking back' with its 909 straight groove and a more dancefloor attitude underlined by a progressive structure, syncopated piano chords and the gentle growl of a rising synth line. Last but not least Musumeci gives us 'Squaredome', an amusing 'dj tool' developed around the sound of 808 drums and of course a massive dose of square wave synth bass. So the only question is: how much square wave can your ear process?

Biography 

Musumeci is the musical project of Mauro Di Martino, a Sicilian DJ and producer active since the late 80s. Through his numerous and always surprising productions — more than 200 releases and remixes in the last 10 years alone, appearing on labels like Bedrock, Compost Black Label, Diynamic Music, Future Disco, Innervisions, MoBlack, Kompakt, Permanent Vacation, Sudbeat, Toy Tonics, Universal, Watergate, and many more — he has largely contributed to putting Italy on the global map of electronic music.

Whether on his own labels — Somethingnu, Engrave Ltd, Buttress, and Multinotes — or through his various collaborations and remixes for artists such as Emmanuel Jal, Bob Sinclar, Kungs, David Guetta, MoBlack, and Crystal Fighters, to name just a few, Musumeci is committed to shining a light on promising talents as well as heartfelt, distinctive personalities, all while continuously expanding his musical world and knowledge.

His extensive experience on the dancefloor and in the studio, his ability to fully embrace the musical moment regardless of genre, and his ongoing quest for pure, colorful emotions of all kinds make him one of the unmissable figures of the contemporary electronic music scene.
