Manual Music proudly presents Jaap Ligthart's debut album 'Itaka'.

In Jaap's own words:
Itaka stands for ‘influence’. On this album you can hear the different influences cities, countries, styles and artists had on me. In the 20 years I’m DJing and producing I developed my taste in music by traveling the world, meeting new people, seeing old friends and listening to new artists but also the living legends among us, which I tried to translate into this album.

I began producing the album early 2020 in Prague, right after my last gig before the lockdown. And now, things in clubland are opening up little by little and it’s time to get it out in the open…

Here's part 3. Be sure to check out part 1 and part 2 as well!

Jaap Ligthart - Kein Schluss

'German techno duo Add-us have recently released the powerfully atmospheric and euphoric ‘Zone’ released on their new Solution Records label. For their first release of 2022, ‘Zone’ showcases the direction ahead for Add-us and Solution Records. A mesmerising track full of melodic overtones and deep, driving basslines, Add-us describe the hypnotic ‘Zone’ as giving the listener “time to breathe deeply, which makes your pulse skyrocket.”

Add-us was formed by two friends, Robert Prieß and Patrick Mugele. The duo has previously released on Renaissance, Parquet Records, 3000 Grad and are supported by Tale Of Us, Joris Voorn, Oostil, Kollektiv Turmstrasse, Soul Button, BLANCAh, Paco Osuna, Fideles, Gai Barone, Raphael Mader, amongst others.'

 techno and dark techno fusion unfolds with syncopated, hypnotic basslines and clinical, sharp percussion. Lush synths and airy pads glide above evolving, looping arpeggios. Intense peaks use white noise bursts, delayed hats, stuttered claps, and funk-inspired rhythms. Each climax dissipates into wide, atmospheric breakdowns with swirling synth FX. The structure alternates between deep, stripped-back immersion and euphoric, multi-textured builds, offering rich tonal variety and finely detailed grooves throughout.
