that's the way! very rich.. great vibe as always.

Alex Niggeman

Alex Niggemann returns to the scene of so many fierce releases with his latest weapons-grade stormer. The Berliner pulls out all the stops on this release – Tangram (The Bright End) is a burner that slowly builds and builds, maintaining just the right amount of tension and release. 

Eventually, out of the precise interplay of elements, explodes a huge euphoric melody that will surely take the roof of many a club in the months to come. 

The Dark End version is another beast entirely, switching the vibe to something a little malevolent- a techier workout that maintains the essential core of the original but provides a little extra drive to the groove - tough, body-moving Tech House for the heads. 

Maze also showcases the class we have come to expect form Poker Flat. Diamond hard beats, unhinged synths and an evolving groove are classic Niggemann traits, resulting in a deeply assured track that will see as much club play as the other two bombs on this releases.

Hailing from Tel Aviv Nir Shoshani has over 14 years of experience producing and performing live worldwide. As the A&R of Punch Music, Nir has overseen a plethora of high quality releases and his own work is no exception. Delivering a layered and deeply hypnotic sound that has come to be expected from his overarching body of work.
 
Ajami kicks the EP off with a slow release of frenzied hi-hats playing the loosely-lower pitched vocals against the infectious synth and bass-lines stirring the groove to guarantee a satisfied crowd. Next up we have the Simon Garcia remix. Simon has previously had releases on Poker Flat, Pets Recordings, Supplement Facts & many more. Using the building blocks of the original Simon manages to deliver a remix that bounces off the corners of deep house resulting in what sounds like the sugar to the original’s salt. The remix serves as a perfect introduction to his much anticipated debut album 'The Placebo Overdose' on Poker Flat.
 
Ending the release with “A Good Habit” an edit by Aeon label boss Alex Niggemann himself. Niggemann provides the mix with all of the staples of the producer’s signature sound that spans across the genres of techno, minimal to tech and deep house, all whilst effortlessly retaining the hybrid energy of the original.
 
“Ajami” is out December 2nd and it’s not one to be missed.

Nir Shoshani - A Good Habit (Alex Niggemann Edit)

Popping up on labels like 8Bit, Supernature and Tsuba, releasing quality tech-house and club-assured cuts since 2008, we‘re delighted to welcome German producer Alex Niggemann to Poker Flat. This new EP raises Niggemann‘s game with three tracks taking in heavy acid bass, chicago-house vibes and inventive, smooth flowing arrangements.

‚Lately‘ is a real stomper in the classic Poker Flat tradition. Haunting, acidic, modern, club guaranteed! Niggemann twists a spooky and funky synth line around a heavy old-school house vibe, complete with a thoughtful smokey-voiced naration. 

‚Madness‘ lifts the tension higher with a sub-heavy chigaco bass attack, 2011 style. Alex has fused the best of both old and new and found a new sound that leaves behind rigid sound in favour of more funky, warmer and totally fresh vibes!

The EP concludes with ‚Smash Your Face‘, a groovy houser that rolls wonderfully with more growling square wave bass and plenty of details to keep the flow nothing short of riveting!

PREMIERE: RQZ - Junkle 99 (Mihai Popoviciu Remix)

https://mandorlarecords.bandcamp.com/album/mndrl007-dotwish-buda-ep-incl-last-pines-martin-m-and-ambos-remixes

@dotwish
@mandorla-records

Dotwish is a special force in the micro/minimal scene, known for his refined sense of groove, subtle sound design, and emotionally resonant rhythms.
His productions glide between precision and playfulness, often rooted in hypnotic repetition and rich textures.

The original tracks have come to life over the past few years. The title track, Buda, was the first new project Dotwish started after an inspiring trip to Budapest, its name paying homage to the city.

This playful and driving piece is accompanied by Dekotora Highway and Slow Motion, the former riding on crisp, rolling grooves, the latter offering a deeper, hypnotic melodic drift.

With Budapest being Mandorla Records’ home, the EP is fittingly completed by three intricate and diverse reinterpretations of Buda, each capturing a different emotional lens.

Last Pines brings warmth and texture with a laid-back yet refined structure, Ambos dives into immersive, dubbed-out territory, while Martin M lifts the energy with a sharper, minimal edge. Each remix standing confidently on its own, yet deeply connected to the spirit of the original.

Mandorla Records is proud to provide a home for this exciting release.
We hope you find deep joy and immersion in these sounds.
✨

Premiere : Dotwish - Slow Motion (MNDRL007)

Having already earned the support of key figures from the Romanian scene, including Tzinah Records and its founder, Primarie, Baban has emerged as one of Turkey’s most promising underground producers. His music is full of the kinds of sounds weaved from deep nights in smoky basements and sunlit rooftops, with a rich blend of rhythm, mood and space that reveals itself slowly but confidently.

The new three-tracker opens with ‘Las Manos’, a percussive, Spanish-vocal-led cut that also weaves in snippets of Urdu dialogue — a cross-cultural detail that adds depth to its groove. Calling to mind the works of Reboot or the kind of hypnotic jams Villalobos would champion on Balearic dancefloors from Ibiza to Rimini, it’s loose but tight, sunny yet restrained — a proper groover and a perfect type of set opener that sets the tone with ease.

On ‘Obligaciones’, the energy subtly intensifies. The track opens with a burst of Chinese dialogue before easing into dreamy, intricate piano chords and muffled vocal loops. Spanish vocals become more pronounced, and the drama ratchets up with every bar. It’s a classy affair that shows Baban’s understanding of tension and texture — minimal in its structure but full of detail for those who know where to listen.

Closing out the record is ‘Voce Me Pergunta’, where Baban’s love of ethereal soundscapes and hypnotic synths takes centre stage. It’s deep, spaced-out and endlessly listenable — a modern minimal cut that shows just how much Baban has developed his sound since launching his career in 2019. We premiered the full EP here, and you can also head over to Nightclubber.ro to read the full interview.

🗣 Summer’s not over yet - and neither is the groove. We’re closing the season with PRCP014, the debut EP from Greek artist Falsa Magra.
Delivering three warm and punchy originals, Falsa Magra steps in with a sound that’s as deep as it is danceable - smooth basslines, tight percussion, and just the right amount of tension.

A strong statement for his first solo release, and one that perfectly fits the Perception universe.

Topping things off, Italian rising talent Phill Prince adds a cheeky, club-ready twist with a remix built for late summer nights.
A proper way to end the season - with rhythm, beats and intensity.

The electrifying Bosnian duo Surrender Discipline, known for their intricately layered grooves and forward-thinking sound design, unveil their highly anticipated debut album, Flow Mechanics. Following a string of monumental releases on standout labels like La Zic, Bondage, and Pirka, the pair take a bold next step, weaving together a sonic narrative that is both immersive and unmistakably their own.

Flow Mechanics is a deep dive into the subtleties of micro house and deep house, channeling minimal textures, hypnotic rhythms, and a delicate balance between club functionality and headphone introspection. This is not just a collection of tracks-it's a fully realized journey crafted with surgical precision and emotional resonance.

Whether you've followed their earlier releases across Europe's most respected underground imprints or are discovering them for the first time, Flow Mechanics is a defining moment in the evolution of Surrender Discipline-a blueprint for the future of minimal house.
