On our seventh release, Man/ipulate encapsulates Watatsumi’s spirit, the legendary water dragon. Known as the ruler of the seas and god of the oceans, he would control storms and rainfalls, protect its waters and transform into animals and human forms making him one of the most influential creatures in Japanese mythology.

Our sensei Man/ipulate starts with ‘Dimension’ a perfect gem filled with swinging percussions and groovy rhythms, followed by ‘1st Date’, which is definitely to look forward to. On the flip-side comes ‘Watatsumi’, an absolute charm as if it were controlling the sea’s movement from calm to storm. To end things in beauty, ‘Make It Sweat’ literally speaks for itself, a powerful punchy track delivering the dragon’s message from his underwater palace.

[SENTAKU007] Man/ipulate - Watatsumi

Sentaku’s eighth instalment introduces listeners to the mythical Japanese deities who played a pivotal role in the creation of the land in a world of nothingness, Izanagi & Izanami. Through their divine union, use-birthed the islands of Japan and laid the foundation for life to flourish. Their story embodies the creative forces of nature and the duality inherent in all existence.
Louison starts with ‘Izanagi & Izanami’, a sonic journey weaving with earth-like sounds and celestial melodies, followed by “I Can Fly” taking a more progressive turn, with pulsating basslines and soaring synths. On the flipside comes ‘Reflections’, delving into darker and spookier realms while maintaining an undeniable energy, perfect for the dancefloor. Finally, he closes with ‘Tension & Passion’ slowing the tempo down to a hypnotic groove, with trance-like sounds immersing listeners in the ethereal atmosphere.

For its ninth release, Sentaku turns to the enigmatic figure of Tsukuyomi, the moon god of Japanese mythology, whose presence embodies mystery and solitude. Crafted by Mirko Felicioli, this EP dives into shadowy realms where deep, emotive undercurrents meet raw, underground energy.

The record opens with Tsukuyomi, a mesmerizing blend of atmospheric depth and pulsating momentum, drawing listeners into its nocturnal spell. Analong Time follows with a stripped-back yet intricate groove, fusing hypnotic loops with a sharp, electro-infused edge. On the flip side, Air Felix injects a futuristic vibrancy, its crisp drum patterns and fluid synth work creating an expansive, weightless feel. Rounding off the journey, Fantasy channels an ethereal, dreamlike energy while maintaining a driving intensity that lingers long after the last beat.

After meeting our buddies Luks & Abdulla a few years back in Madrid, we naturally found an insane connection with them, both music and human wise. Behind the Mineral label, they sure know a thing or two about gems, and this Sentakast shows a true staple of their style, a real memory of our long hours dancing together. Until we're able to repeat that again, click play and lock in!

Lamalice is our long time friend and an incredible artist that we've always respected and admired in the Sentakrew. Both our values and music go so hand in hand together that we asked him to join the team as resident as resident a few months ago. This Sentakast instalment is a true staple of his sound, a meeting point between deepness and groove.

Our family members Dandeloo and Lamalice finally join forces for their first vinyl release on Sentaku, perfectly embodying legendary Onogawa Kisaburō's spirit and energy. Famously considered as one of Japan's most gifted sumo wrestlers under Tokagawa's reign in the Edo period, he was one of the few to match Tanikaze's skill and reputation.

Dandeloo kicks off the EP with 'Infinite Path', a powerful rhythm perfectly meeting midway between a soothing comfort and an aggressive storm, followed by Lamalice's 'Annihilation', which pretty much describes itself! Starting the B-side with 'Onogawa Kisaburō', his dance floor bomb can explode at anytime, exactly like the wrestler would in the sumo ring. Finally, Dandeloo closes with 'Dream Machine', a nostalgic and pure track symbolising Onogawa's success in battle over the years.

Corbeau, a long time friend and joyful fella of ours took his first steps in the Bordeaux underground scene playing clubs like IBOAT or Parallel as resident.  Rider of the @binarysoundmusic family, his approach is centered on a permanent tension of the dancefloor which led him to express himself on the European landscape. 
For the 19th episode he cooked some of his own homemade recipe exploring deeper electro and house cuts

22nd episode is a blessing from our fellow Sick Seek. 
We met around 2 years ago and instantly clicked, we even had the chance to book him for one of our Choice venture. 
His origins come from a tireless quest that delves deep into the expansive sphere of electronic music, searching without constraints or genre restrictions for the perfect soundscape for every context and situation. 
A vinyl enthusiast and aficionado, Sick Seek effortlessly transitions between the darkest, most psychedelic beats of techno and the most romantic, sentimental expressions of house and disco music.

This recording is an ode to Raul, his forever four-legged traveling companion who tragically passed away last week <3

We met Dizzy over the summer in the mighty festival of Litoranea Festival in Sicily. We started talking and exchanged on non-dancefloor music and great album that inspired us and we clicked instantly. 
She is a Milan-based artist and food engineer from Florence on the roster of the new Tenax generation. She approached ambient & downtempo music in 2018 by creating meticulous playlists and musical selections for herself to listen while painting. When talking about her music, she refers to herself more like a selector than a DJ, with hybrid sonorities difficult to categorize into a single genre or style, but characterized by influences ranging from trip-hop, dub, to synth-wave and electro. The sets are often identified by an unstoppable crescendo, plenty to explore in the winsome, melodic, laidback feeling of her selections.

JL has been active on the Parisian scene for over a decade whether with his very first collective Micro_Wave in 2012, with Reshuffle Music, and more recently with his label Momo's Basement. Over the years, he has had the opportunity to share his music from Paris to London, Switzerland, Brazil and many other places

We can't really recall the moment we exactly met but we can recall the good memories shared during parties and today it's this mesmerizing vibe that we are feeling through this recording.

The @cremeclub_leipzig founders boris & davy started playing records together as soon as they met during their studies. Their shared passion for music and electric circuits guided them through countless after-hours sessions and Leipzig’s off-locations, shaping their sound and friendship.

We had the chance to meet the guys last summer for the first time in Leipzig and the bound was created. We witnessed this elegant warm up during our gig at Legal Club in Munich back in November and it made only sense to share it with our community. 

Thanks to Crème Club and Legal Club

Yasuke's legend originates in the Sengoku, period and is known to be the first samurai of African descend to have served in Japan. According to the Shinchō kōki (Oda Nabunaga's chronicle), he was believed to have been gifted a hand forged katana which he used to fight for unification in Japan. Today, we celebrate our very own Lamalice's welcoming to the Sentaku family with two astonishing yet opposite interpretations of Yasuke's weapon in battle.

It’s after sharing the decks for many years and refining their shared taste in music that Josh Rawl and Massaï decided to form their own collective and record label: Sentaku. The journey started with an encounter that promptly reached an equilibrium: the story of two friends representing Ying and Yang, advocating two opposing forces able to reach a sense of balance when united. Meaning “selection” in Japanese, Sentaku was born in 2016 and has since aimed to develop its own personal imprint on the electronic music world through its distinctive aesthetic. More than a musical journey, the label also promotes a visual platform to be lived as an experience, with the help of graphic designer and animator JXQ.  

By building this collective, the founding duo wants to showcase the skills and productions of the new talents they encounter along their musical journey. Above all, Sentaku is a family, a creative community striving for diversity, quality and innovation.
