5th release and 1st vinyl of the outstanding Spanish label Rio Negro Records, an special V.A. including Franck D, Amalia, Costa Harko & Julio Garcés.

A1 features Ams to Mann by label head Franck D, a smooth blend of Microhouse drum sequencing, deep house atmosphere and dub powered bassline. The track was inspired by a train ride from Amsterdam to Mannheim in Germany back in 2019. A2 - Welcome to Space - comes from talented female producer Amalia, combining spacey trashy vocals with minimalistic drum patterns, groovy bassline and trippy pads, a proper dancefloor melter at any given time. B1 - Whispers in the forest, from the amazing greek artist Costa Harko, combines heavy drum sequences and nice mellow pads for a fusion of minimal and deep house that will have your head banging and leave your neck aching. Julio Garcés closes the record with an outstanding production "Trópico" which fuses tropical sounds over a 4-by-4 pattern, a soft mellow trip that features incredible drum sequencing as well as a spacey and psychedelic soundscapes.

The record includes an insert with a special poem written by head label Franck D.

From the ancient streets of Athens, Greece, our dear friend, and talented musician, Konstantin aka Costa Harko, brings a joyful blend of microhouse, deep  and minimal in this special vinyl only mix he did for us. A nice trip to the depths of nature, extasis and dance. 

He recently released our RNR003 - Whispers in the Forest EP, so we are more than thrilled to have him on board to start our mix sessions. Expect more from this artist in the near future.

RIo Negro Sessions 001 | Costa Harko

The truth seems palpable,
reality credible, the insightful mind,
but the truth is we are not awake.
The truth is there's no freedom.
We are tied to our unconscious,
to our prejudices,
to our concepts.

We are slaves of our own consciousness, guilt and vulnerability
We are innocent living beings,
walking in vicious circles
while time slips through our fingers,
dismembering the years, the days, the hours.

We are flashing lights shining in the dark night,
we are stars that died many years ago,
we are a finite line in this spiral of eternity.

//

La verdad parece palpable,
la realidad credible,
la mente perspicaz,
pero la verdad es que no estamos...  more
