For our sixth release, Parang Recordings is proud to present our first various artists compilation EP, featuring both emerging and established talents with a range of sounds from diverse backgrounds.
 
Lil Sorry and Lord of Leisure, both producers from Offenbach whose work has appeared on some of our favorite house labels, showcase Offenbach’s established deep house vibe with their contributions veering towards the gentle, the sublime, and the melodic. The understated dub influences in Lil Sorry’s ‘High Noon’ help to disguise its brisk tempo, further submerged by foregrounding of textured pads and wayward electronics that take center stage on this subdued groove. Lord of Leisure’s ‘Coffee N Chups’ is a sunrise house groover powered by funky bass and choppy hat and snare combos that keep the drive over sustained pads and a deep, repeating melody.
 
Shifting scenes to the UK for Manchester’s Spin Fidelity, a newly established name from releases on Barcelona’s revered Subwax, we find the toughest offering, a Detroit-inspired gem that lands solidly in the morning slot.

Rounding out the VA we have the head of London’s Rube Goldberg Series, Bowyer, who has so far remained mostly on his own imprint and is the freshest face here. His ‘Livelovelaugh’ closes the EP with its brightest offering, all melodic bassline, sunny keyboards, and worked vocal snippets with a punchline vocal at dramatic points to reinforce its uplifting demeanor.

[POO004] Pacific Jams - Pleiadi EP

For TESSACAST 007 we are shining the spotlight on France's Karaba. He caught our attention off the back of an excellent release on Chikyu-u and has since been featured on one of our favourite labels Nuances de Nuit. The mix is a stellar effort featuring a good dose of breaks and electro infused tech house. Just how we like it ✔️

Release : December 2020

Lumbago’s 10th delivery had to be something special. After a few successful releases, their sharpest Katana Prince de Takicardie hit the spot again with his first solo album. Showcasing what he does best, Live 4 Love is nothing else then his message to the world. True to himself and his love for never-ending beats, P2T the mad programmer demonstrates again how wide are his influences and how tight is his technique. Powerful and sensible at the same time, this modern ode to the oldschool pictures perfectly his sense of adventure

Next up on the poddy series we have a good friend of the label and artist from our first release, E.Wan.

An hour of carefully curated house grooves and breaks, lovely!

Artist: Various
Title: OVNIE 003
Label: Ovnie
Cat No: OVNIE003
Format: 12” Vinyl Only

Tracklist: 
A1. Antoine Sy - Forest savers
A2. Robbenspierre - Yoyoyo
A3. Pohl - Travelized
B1. Samuel Padden - Half Cab
B2. Kizoku and Luks - Test Tube

After a long break OVNIE returns with its third release, this time comes with a various artists format composed by 5 tracks.
 
A1. Antoine Sy delivers a reggae infused house groover to make you aware about the need to save the forests!

A2. "Imagine a beautiful lady acting like a robot in a super green garden under a glittering sun. She is clicking her arms and legs according to a simple 2-steppy texture and she is occasionaly singing nothing understandable except for a surfer-like interjection. Short-release synths and ethereal pads complete the picture adding some kind of nostalgic vibes to it. Yoyoyo!"

A3. Pohl strikes back with a moody a brilliant track on his own imprint Ovnie. „Traveling....“ has all the incredients to make you shake even at your home-office. A curly simple lead melody, a heavy old-school Bassline, crispy jacking drums and ascendant synth strings that colide with pealing LFO’ish addicting bleeps to a perfect dance track. 

B1. Samuel delivers a more funky breakbeat vision with acid zaps, bleeping tones and reverse percussions to keep the pace up and down a sure track to keep the dancefloor jacking.

B2. Test tube is one of many unreleased collabs by Luks & Kizoku. The moodiest one of the bunch, it is driven by breaky percussion, resonant basslines and lush keys.
