Matteo Manzini - ambient mixes

Set listening 5

The 5th installment of the Reptilian Mixes marks a change in the series, as for the first time in the Blockbuster franchise, the main protagonist is not a Reptilian, but a Doggo. Not just your usual good boï, but simply the best. 

Rafon (@rafon27) and the crew go way back. The mattress king quickly became a roommate, a best mate, a partner in parties, and co-host of Mulack Space Mixes. During these years we witnessed @ordinateuf co-founder translate his passion for music into pure dedication. First into digging, then into mixing, and through all that, into good old partying. Along the way, this work paid off, and this mix is the expression of it. 

It’s groovy, moody, and gets you slowly but surely into that kinky house frenzy you just wish huge speakers would blast in the morning hours of a dirty club. The mix is as aced as the Rafon aces his pasta: with tension, love, and style. He got the secret recipe, and oh boy it’s a good one: the mix « à la Rafon ». You’re going to ask for a refill, with extra tunes. And Parmigiano. 

We are really proud and moved to feature this mix in our series. Thank you for the music Rafon

So our last Musty Mix of 2024 comes from a new close friend of ours that we had the pleasure of meeting back in April this year in his home town of Cluj, Romania.

Centrifug, (Renato) is the man behind the ever-growing and inspiring – Pressure Nights. 

Hosting the likes of Hicham, Trails Bucharest, Vass and Tho to name a few, he is the driving force behind the nightlife in Cluj and is forever on the hunt for new spaces throughout the city and beyond. This mix showcases his extensive record collection with a big nod to the 90s. 

Huge thanks to Renato for his welcomed addition to the series.

Conspiracy Tape 039 arrives slightly salty, delightfully chewy, and cooked to perfection.

Taking the reins for this edition is Sydney-based selector Sasha Milani. As the head chef of Al Dente, she’s known for serving up irresistibly tasty parties—and her skills behind the decks are no different.

Prepare for an hour-long feast of well-seasoned, bouncy electro and trance-tinged rollers, guaranteed to hit the spot. Bon appétite!

“Ambient/experimental music is a free space where anything can be drawn” 

Melancholic story-telling from Italian producer Matteo Manzini, in which he creates music as a form of healing and personal dialogue. This volume consists of 5 compositions made in the Summer of 2019, and catalogues a series of intimate reflections in the moment. 

Solemn movements across the keys open poetically before the bewildering sparseness of hiss, fuzz, and drone distorts the space around. What has been captured here was recorded with the intention to be revisited at uncertain points in the future - as the definition fades and the lines get softer, our own retro-inspection is an act of time-travel in itself. Entwined with our ever-changing life circumstances, music as a form of journal can bring us deeper into various aspects of ourselves. It is the faithful companion to our personal evolution and resolution of the spirit.

All tracks composed and mixed by Matteo Manzini between July and August 2019.

Pluie/Noir Interscapes 04
"It's Sunny Outside"

Sound Mixed and Compiled by @patientbetterdrivers aka @matteomanzini
Visual Interpretation by @julba

Welcome to the new Pluie/Noir podcast series. 8 years after our debut we decided to press the reboot button and return to our roots. With a new format and back to a regular monthly schedule, Pluie/Noir Interscapes will feature audio collages, mixes, live interviews and live recordings from P/N artists, friends, and other collectives we admire.

Because less is more, instead of the usual triptych format, this series will feature one single A3-A1 visual interpretation of the music by a graphic artist. The artwork will be available to purchase in poster format on our rebooted Bandcamp page very soon, with cassettes or CD-r of the mixes as a bonus.

For Interscapes 04 we welcome patient better drivers aka @matteomanzini, the very talented London-based Italian artist behind @wantrecords, with a visual interpretation by a familiar artist to the series, the French artist @julban
