Duro returns with "Derrumbes Y Escaleras", the first collaboration from Iñigo Vontier & Theus Mago's upcoming album. The single is inspired by the Indian board game "Snakes and Ladders" and the hallucinogenic mushroom "psilocybe caerulescens" popularly known as "Derrumbe". This mushroom is one of the most important species in the country and was formerly used in prehispanic religious ceremonies. The trip comes with remixes by Englishman Chez de Milo and US duo Zillas On Acid.

His opener here is "Derrumbes Y Escaleras". Instantly you feel the effect of deep bass, ancestral flutes and psychedelic melodies coursing through your system, while the inner voices guide you to the deepest part of your being. Chez de Milo follows with a solid, rumbling percussion base, intoxicated flutes and synths laden you to the next existential plane.

The nine-minute Zillas On Acid’s trip uses the bassline to keep you lucid and present, while the flutes, frenetic arpeggios and percussion create an inner chaos. Inspired by the Mexican rave scene of the 2000s, the "Saiko Mix" has a catchy bouncy bass, rolling percussion and acid sounds that feel like melted lasers coming out of the speakers.

Closing the EP is the B-Side "Zumo Di Batuca", an experimental break cut. As it progresses the vocals and synthetic sounds disintegrate and melt into a solid, cyclical sound mix that keeps you in a trance state.

session #088 - K15

Mateis e. aqir, the son of Pyrenees… If you haven’t heard of him then consider this, your introduction. Not one to stick to genres or niches, Mateis seems to float among many, offering his complex, discerning take and crafting statements rather than releases. His last, an LP off of Seb Wildblood’s All My Thoughts, had listeners scrambling in an attempt to quantify what it was exactly… Phrases like; Ambient House (says Hard Wax) , Tropical House (Rate your Music ) or post-balearic exoticism and tribal percussion (inverted Audio) , i don’t Know… The root of this all however being that the music is good. Good music has no genre, just that it is good. 

Keeping in line with this theme, we are happy to premiere, Mind Evolving Over Forests. Out soon on Kaap’s Yield imprint as part of a winding 7 track release, the five and a half minute tale evokes a deep breath almost. Harkening back to those introspective moments where it’s just you and yourself, lost among the swirling thoughts of the night.

MIMS is delighted to host the world premiere of the first ever collaboration between Emanative and Vula Viel’s Bex Burch! And it’s a banger! Deep 808 drum machine and African-inspired percussion meets cold-wave post-punk. Producer and fellow percussion-addict Hector Plimmer even gets in on the action to sprinkle some additional charms.

Emanative makes his vinyl debut here for Shapes of Rhythm following contributions to their ‘Isolation Compilation’ and an ‘Awkward Corners EP’ both earlier this year. Known for his love of collaboration, Emanative connected remotely with Bex Burch during the global lockdown. 

Disrupt #4 is the result of a meeting of two percussive minds in the midst of a pandemic, and like all good things it started with a groove. Nick initially provided Bex with a hazy, 808 african-inspired sketch. What followed was a musical dialogue which quickly gained momentum.

A post punk-esque vocal mantra was added, reflecting the here and now of 2020 and driving the track forward. Bex’s trademark Ghanaian Gyil xylophone is the conversation with the groove throughout the track. Hector Plimmer also joins the collaboration, seasoning the mix with synthesizer and tape delays.

Released November 6th, strictly limited to 300 copies, the first 50 come with an inner signed by the artists, and the record and sleeve have been produced "as green as possible" by Deep Grooves in Amsterdam (the greenest vinyl pressing plant in the world). "Disrupt #4" is backed by an equally disruptive remix from Awkward Corners, whose debut LP this year surely ranks among this year’s best.

No stranger to the label, Munir (AKA Midnight Runners) is one of Southeast Asia’s most unique talents. A deep record collector, he has put his hometown of Bandung, Indonesia on the map with a relentless output of self-released edits drawing on Indonesian funk, Chinese pop, and Middle Eastern psych as source material over the last several years. Equally skilled as a producer, Munir’s signature boogie-funk sounds have graced labels such as Neon Finger, Shaken Palms, and No Bad Days. We’re pleased to unleash Munir’s sounds on Darker Than Wax once again, with a strong sonic step forward from the artist and perhaps his most polished work yet - ‘Circuit Line’.

Blending his signature Boogie sound with Italo-Disco influences, the record brings forth four stylishly crafted modern dancefloor cuts. ‘Circuit Line’ is built on a foundation of reverence to the arpeggiator, driven by neon synth tones racing each other to the finish line. This racing theme defines the record throughout, painting images of classic 80s racing games on standout tracks ‘Finish Line’ and ‘Race Car’. ‘Interlinked’ takes on a more subdued approach, building in intensity and weirdness with each synth line layered on. Showcasing Munir’s prowess with percussion, ‘Pit Stop’ is a feverish club workout rounding out the record as a complete package for the discerning DJ’s arsenal.

Crafted in his Bandung studio with love for classic hardware and respect for its musical influences, ‘Circuit Line’ represents a turning point for Munir’s sonic evolution.

Solo Gemini - Parma (STW Premiere)

MIMS is extremely excited to premiere the futuristic broken beat sounds of “Sweat”, by Contours & Werkha, their very first song together and the first taste of a collection of fresh collaborations curated by ANMA and Cognitiva Records.

"Sweat" sees the multi-talented Contours, following two acclaimed & sold out releases on ANMA, trading beats and synths with friend-since-childhood, Werkha, a producer who manages to turn all styles to his will, from broken beat to jazz and soul.

As Contours puts it "We had a framework for this track for a while, but both wanted to revisit it and ended up flipping the vibe into a more angular acid-tinged broken beat piece. Werkha brought a killer sound to the drum programming with chopped live kit samples."

Cognitiva and ANMA Records label bosses Piero Paolinelli (SofaTalk) and Angelo Mazzone (FootNote), have put together an absolute beast of a compilation. ‘Outlines’ is a snapshot of a new generation of exciting producers from across Europe, collaborating and mixing jazz, broken beat & house in exciting new ways.

10 tracks split into two parts on vinyl, featuring ones-to-watch Contours, Werkha, Footshooter, Allysha Joy, Karmasound, 291out and Domenico Sanna. ANMA and Cognitiva have not only curated the featured artists but have also instigated many of the collaborations featured.

You can also catch Werkha and Contours making their live debut as a duo this Friday as part of We Out Here's digital showcase. 

"Sweat" will be available to download on Bandcamp, and stream from all your favourite places, this Friday March 5. The 'Outlines' compilation can be pre-ordered now from the stores on the link above, and from Bandcamp this Friday, coinciding with their monthly fee-waiving day.

Ranie Ribeiro's artistic journey has taken on new dimensions and disciplines. Formerly known by his DJ moniker D-Ribeiro, Ranie Ribeiro is solidifying himself as a harpist. 

One of the notable aspects of his transformation is not only embracing the role of a composer, but also as a stage performer. 
For award winning choreographer Sedrig Verwoert’s latest piece “The Ritual” (2023), Ribeiro was initially commissioned as a co-composer alongside Phantom Wizard. Eventually both self taught musicians performed live on stage while Sedrig Verwoert and Alanna Archibald executed the piece in elegant movements.  

In live performances at acclaimed venues such as Paradiso, Melkweg and de Doelen (2023) Ribeiro used the harp to experiment with classical, electronica and hiphop elements while creating and adding on to existing compositions he describes as meditative and vulnerable. Ribeiro also appeared with singer-songwriter Linde Schone on NPO 3FM and with the newly formed Kinship Ensemble at Ruigoord (2023).

Ribeiro unveils his talents as a score composer for the first time on Het Jaar Rond on Nous’Klaer (2021), commissioned by the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision. Embracing the harp’s delicate resonance he went on scoring various projects such as Het Limburgse Landschap (2021), Short Scores (2022) commissioned by Eye Film, and most recently, Waka Nanga Mi (2023). The latter short film was screened at the International Film Festival Rotterdam and received massive public acclaim.
