[LEG004] | Release Date: 23rd of Dec 2022

Time for a very merry present this holiday season from your favourite boot collectors! We’ve put together another Family Secrets compilation just in time to play out at the family festivities. A varied array of New Age Italo masterpieces from across the globe. After the success of their own EP, Furor Exotica return to the workshop with a track that has their ever-impressive mix of vocal and neon-tinted flare. Newcomer Kaychi takes us back to the arcades with a retro video game soundscape that makes you want to jump back into the cyber sphere - all aboard the Tron bike! Argentinian/Aus producers first release Palazzo takes us on a journey through the dark glitter world, and Enzio Etchaberri has us speeding through to a funky sunrise set to remember. Go deep into the ocean with Val Air and dance like you’re coming up for air again, and to cap it off Leith Links joins us to finish the comp off with a stella banging, crashing wrong house groover that hits in all the right places.

Val Air - Scuba Diving

For miles and miles towering green trees populated the land, easing only to allow the river to weave and wander in-between. There was much to explore here in the forest - either on foot or by boat - these pathways and meandering bodies of water had seen more than any human had in their lifetime. It felt magical and otherworldly out here, nothing but nature enveloping you in its wonders, but how long before it would fade away? How long before it would be wounded and ravaged? Or had the damage already been done...

Ruinas boss Black Pomade is gearing up for the launch of a brand new series called Manzo Edits for, you guessed it, a carefully curated selection of edits from friends and peers. For the debut release he invites WONDER, AEF and DHP AKA Life Dee to feature alongside him, as they all put their own stamp on a disparate sounds and styles. Every edit is primed for club play, but there's a bit of something for everyone. It launches with dark, percussive synth-pop before settling into a funky old school breaks and chugging acid grooves, all rounded off with a disco house edit to get the floor moving.

PREMIERE: Manzo Edits - Brazil (AEF Edits) [Manzo Edits]

Friday 3 February 2023 sees Newcastle polymath, Man Power release his first EP of the year, Wallsend’s Finest, on burgeoning Belfast imprint, Nocturne, following up recent successes on the label from the likes of Zillas on Acid, Tech Support, Perdu & Alex Virgo.

On the first Man Power outing on Nocturne he delivers a gnarly acid workout on ‘Overbite’. Driven drums, 303 squelch and tense synths are order of the day making a perfect combination for the late night, heads down crew.

On ‘Full Body Gurn’, he turns in a percussive 4/4 beast with a refreshing nod to a classic that will sit comfortably between both the house and bass dance floors.

Fiercely independent, Man Power is the curator of the Me Me Me label and parties, which this year has seen DJ Harvey, Jeff Mills, Daniel Avery, Gerd Janson, Jennifer Cardini and many more travel to join him in Newcastle while he continues to support, mentor and champion new talent from across the world.
Having taken some downtime to adapt, re-focus and re-align himself with a renewed focus as a producer and DJ, 2023 is on track to be a year of creative energy, as the Man Power project enters its second decade as a force to be reckoned in club culture.

Ben Gomori debuts on House Of Disco Records with a meaty package of acid-laced cuts and some huge remixes. '7AM At Wintergarten' was inspired by his sprawling late-night / early-morning sets at the legendary Wintergarten room at Berlin's Sisyphos, and was debuted there to great reactions. Panoramabar resident Massimiliano Pagliara completes the local link with his excellent heads-down, stomping remix.

'Mars Joint' is a tribute of sorts to one of Gomori's heroes, Kerri Chandler, and combines one of his classic patches with gentle acid licks and whirring feedback FX. Jordan Nocturne crushes his Italo-electro remix—succinct but hugely effective—while promising Irish newcomer SHEE goes for a tough but deep atmospheric interpretation.

PREMIERE: Ben Gomori - 7 AM At Wintergarten (Massimiliano Pagliara Remix)

PREMIERE : TACCIA002 - Tongoneo (Soos' Acid Edit)​

An EP of limbo-inducing squelch courtesy of our good friends Latrec aka Andy Bainbridge and Serious Hots, ft. techno flavoured remixes from Bristolian pal Remotif & our very own Matt Cowell & Johnny Aux as The W.C. Enjoy. 

In the furthest reaches of the cosmos, the intergalactic community gathers for the annual Kutika Limbo finals. 

Reigning champion Latrec draws the first straw and the percussion rolls excitedly as he steps up to the pole. Kutika glides lithely under the bar, tentacles wobbling to the acid rhythm. He celebrates his victory as the crowd chants in a glitchy alien dialect. “Kutika-tika-tika-tika!” 

Second in line, Latrec’s younger brother Dub Mix steps up for his first limbo. Shorter and stockier than his brother, we don’t know what to expect from this one. Once again the percussion rolls, the crowd gasps as his squidgy exoskeleton melts before their eyes, reforming on the other side of the bar - ‘blooooop’. The crowd goes wild “Kut-Kut!” 

Next up is The W.C. Events take a strange turn as they forgo the competition, instead they walk to the stage to sweep the band aside, hijacking control of the instruments. Heavy percussive hits twist spacetime with material melting bass throbs. The crowd goes wild as the fabric of reality collapses around them. 

Last but by no means least is Remotif, a techno unit resembling a giant cluster of biceps stands staring at the limbo pole, chaos erupting around him. The tempo of the percussion rises in anticipation and acid thunder roars in the background. Remotif picks up the bar, blinks, and hurls it off into the furthest reaches of the galaxy never to be seen again. 

Credits: Astronomical thanks to Latrec for the amazing music in support of our new label, Remotif and The W.C. for the delicious remixes, James Savage for the incredible masters, Edward Tuckwell for the stunning artwork, Margo Broom for mix consultancy on The W.C. remix and to Jessica Lau for the beautiful graphic design.
