Sleepless (Fakear Remix)

78Edits 'Meet Patti'

French producer Teho makes a swift return to Herzblut to follow up his excellent Hope EP from May this year. His latest work sees him team up with fellow Frenchman and huge talent Tran, who's own music has been described as oscillating between minimal and melodic. Making this partnership a perfect fit. 

Their KOTO EP sees Teho & Tran submerging us in trademark emotional and powerful soundtracks, enhanced further by their use of the wonderful sounds of the Orient. Lead cut Asakusa elegantly displays its power through its pulsing one note bass and opening broken beat pattern. Its liquid flow sees it gather intensity before the Eastern strings echo in its breakdown. On the flip we are treated to more of the same, this time lead by Kabuki's beautiful flutes, warped bassline and plucked string melody. Perfection.

Elder Island - The Big Unknown (Ben La Desh Remix)

Anton Dhouran - Mirage

Following the success of the Mindfulness album and the first single taken from that album (Nothing Personal, with remixes by Luis Junior and Groj), we are proud to present the second set of fresh remixes featuring French rising star Teho and the Canada/Holland connection that is Dustin Nantais & Paul Hazendonk.

2014 has been a big year for Teho, a breakthrough year with a gaining amount of international gigs and two releases on well respected label Herzblut Recordings, run by Stephan Bodzin. He kicks things off in his trademark style transforming Mindfulness into a warm, mature and funky melodic techno tune. The clever usage of the main violin elements takes you on a journey, propelling you to exceptional heights!

On a totally different note, Dustin Nantais & Paul Hazendonk have reworked Triangle, originally a 110 BPM obscure nu-disco song, with the aim to bring it to the dance floor but to keep the original dark feel. The duo add a driving bassline but keep the arpy elements as well as the somewhat creepy sounding main hook and transform it into a late night dancefloor burner!

French artist Teho and Montreal based comrade Van Did have joined forces on this EP. Combining their talents for building powerful and emotional soundscapes, the duo have released an impressive EP called Hope on Stephan Bodzin’s Herzblut Recordings last year.

It’s little wonder that Teho & Van Did's music has found support from the likes of Applescal, Hernan Cattaneo, Moonbeam, Gabriel & Dresden and Deepfunk, Long Way From Home is a perfect example of their immersive, multilayered sound. Warm bassline, enchanting pads and escalating melodies make for an epic opener. Huacachina is a groovy and progressive composition yet powerful and cinematic.

French Duo, We Need Cracks, deliver a dreamy and captivating remix of Long Way From Home, duo has been catching international attention with very solid releases on labels such as Traum Schallplatten.

Completing the release is remix by Daniel Zuur, Amsterdam based producer who deliver a deeper and melodic rework that still retains the energy of the original.

Teho & Van Did - Long Way From Home (Original mix)

Guido Minisky and Hervé Carvalho make up Acid Arab, the Parisian-based duo who combine a love for acid house with the sounds and cultures of the Middle East. It's a fusion that runs deeper than just uniting a western beat with an eastern sample; they blend Arabic musical language and analogue techno devices, to create a unique form of dance music.

Starting life as a concept, Acid Arab morphed from a Facebook group to a party and now releases records and compilations that pays homage to their unique amalgamation of sounds and textures. Following a series of compilations and V/A EPs on Versatile Records, Guido and Hervé return to the label with their first solo EP titled Djazirat El Maghreb. A tribute to North African music, the three-track release looks to three countries in the region and with 'Halfa (Instrumental)', the focus falls on Algeria. The track also features Algerian keyboard artist Kenzi Bourras, who plays live with Acid Arib and comes packed with an alaoui beat, traditional to a lot of old chaabi songs and familiar to any new fans of Omar Souleyman.

Acid Arab - Djazirat El Maghreb EP is out late September on Versatile. Album cover courtesy of Merji - Diary of the Bled, Day 423

With October 2015's edition of Chilling Moments I hope to take you on yet another one of what I hope are becoming classic journeys.  What began as live recordings of internet radio broadcasts has become my outlet for creating memorable experiences with music. Whether these experiences are just for me or whether they are enjoyed by others is a question I'll always leave to the listener. :)

Enjoy

Sam Pauli & Reiver - Aspice {Anton Dhouran Edition} *Out Now*

We're very happy and proud to welcome our favorite German duo on board of Manual Music! Boss Axis have recently made their debut on the label doing a remix for Might at Night, but now they are back to present you their 'Third Lake EP', featuring two new tracks + a stellar line-up of remixes.

Melodic and groovy - that’s the sound of Marcel and Thomas from Germany, who in 2008 decided to find their place together in the electronic music scene. Their sound is characterized by warmth, pressure and especially their emphasis on harmonies. Their attention to detail is obvious. Both the title track 'Third Lake' and the b-side 'Boship' suit the aformentioned description perfectly. Two new tracks by the 'ministers of melody' that will for sure rock many crowds!

On remix duties we welcome back on board our good friend Teho (Herzblut / Parquet), but we also welcome two new faces on board the Manual family; Formel (Einmusika) and Marten Sundberg (Kompakt / Moosseekkaa). A little something for everyone here. What's your favorite?

Release date: October 5 2015

Boss Axis - Third Lake (Teho 'Danger Zone' Remix)

Remix master The Reflex add some club colour to L’Impératrice’s dreamy disco hit. Showing at perfection his ‘less is more’ approach with imaginative arrangements, boxfresh sonics and intricate editing, The Reflex remix is rocket fuel for every DJ set.

We believe that « everything is a remix »

Remixes are a major part of the electronic music history. The club culture take off on remixes, some of the greatest dance hits where made from remixing original tracks.
Our primary purpose is to highlight this exercise by offering the opportunity to artists to either work on a remix of their choice or offer a track to be remixed by an artist they admire. It is overseen and curated by independent music lovers and supported by The Absolut Company, a brand that is permanently involved in the field of contemporary arts and creation with a tradition of supporting artists such as Keith Haring and Andy Warhol. The Absolut Remix project is dedicated to the art of combining or editing existing materials, to produce something new.

As a start, every last Friday of the month, we will unveil a new remix, from a newcomer or a legend, from disco to techno or IDM and house music. And more to come...
'Odyssée' was originally released on L'Impératrice's EP Odyssée in October 2014

Teho - Behind Me

Originally finding itself allied to Proton Music in September 2015, Mondkrater's "Icarus" showcased the Ukrainian's inspiring melodic techno with a three-track offering that was evocative and spellbinding in equal measures. Now, finding itself on sister label, Particles, "Icarus" returns with a pair of remixes from two label debutants.

Inspired by such icons as Stephan Bodzin and Maxime Dangles, French producer, Theo Vicente, has risen to impressive prominence since a 2010 debut for D.E.N.S. Records aged 20. A regular at clubs across his Montpellier hometown on the Cote d'Azur, a performance at Module Club, Tokyo in 2012 launched Teho into the global spotlight as additional performances in the Netherlands, UK and Belgium, alongside such heavyweights as Fairmont, Ryan Davis and Microtrauma, raised his profile further still.

A regular on the Parquet, Inlab and Manual Music imprints, the distinctive Teho sound has captured the hearts and minds of an impressive fan base as original productions including the "ClichÃ©/Union" and "Uku" EPs vie for attention against a host of remixes for artists including Logiztik Sounds, Oovation and Unique Repeat. Now debuting on Particles, the Teho remix of "Phobia" is a typically rich offering that revels in gloriously textured analogue sounds and pulsating emotive melodies that pay rich tribute to Mondkrater's original while extending its milieu further with a slew of additional melodic production material in a work of high quality.

With the desire to convey emotion through music, Indieveed represents a new breed of Ukrainian artists who create their own individual sound through experimentation and "lateral thinking". A relative newcomer to the underground dance scene, Indieveed's inspiring brand of modern techno has found favour with a host of impressive imprints from Inlab and Klangwelt to Fever and MNL. Furthermore, the July 2015 track "Cloudland" found itself on to the heavyweight "Tour de Traum X" compilation album mixed by Riley Reinhold with a cast that also included Dominik Eulberg and Microtrauma.

Finding his way to Particles via his remix of the title track itself, the Indieveed remix of "Icarus" takes the twisted melodic themes central to the Mondkrater's original and places them in a new contextual framework that glistens with smooth bass line that evolves into rasping, analogue groove post-breakdown. The addition of accompanying velvet percussive rhythms and dominant beat ensure that the Indieveed remix is sure to find favour with many.

Still shooting for the sun, "Icarus" continues to fly high with new remixes from Teho and Indieveed.
