RELEASES by Mavin

The seventh episode of the Based On Misunderstanding series is a true show-stopper! Last summer the ultra hot duo Manhooker (Tomasz - Guiddo' Switala and Sebastian - Mavin' Magassouba) hooked up in their studio with Snax (Paul Bonomo and 1/2 of Captain Comatose) to crank out some new jams; the first being this veritable late summer hit, 'Cloud 9.' Their first 12inch on Ostgut Ton caused such a burst of enthusiasm, and the hype will only be fueled with this release. This is pop music at its best with lots of soul for the more sophisticated dance floors.

We can't think of a more appropriate remixer for this sensitive tune than Justus Köhncke. The Cologne based producer aims more directly to the club, but doesn't take the soul nor Snax' captivating synth solo out of the track. It's another magnum opus in Köhnckes already superior portfolio of remixes.

On the flipside we got a 'Special Deal.' Here you can hear Snax' presence even more boldly as his affection for 80's electro-funk meets the adorable soul of Mavin's voice. Would 'Cloud 9' not already be a stupendous stand-out track, you'd have to speak of 'Deal' as the definite sure shot. Airplay guaranteed!

For the - M1 Space Dub' version Manhooker used the legendary Patch #17, Organ 2 of the Korg M-1 (of Robin S' - Show Me Love' fame from 1990), spreading this way some magic dust on the track to make it even deeper.

And then we have one of the best DJs from Brazil added to the game. Marcio Vermelho from Sao Paolo is widely known by now across the borders of South America for his stylistically confindent mix of Nu Disco, Boogie, Funk and sentimental house. This right here is one of his first official remixes but it won't be his last one, that's for sure!

Cloud 9

Manhooker & Snax - Cloud 9 (Justus Köhncke Remix)

With release nr. 11, Luv Shack Records are once again eager to exalt the diversity of their releases, while keeping up the quality.

LUV011 is the split EP of the two up and coming electronic music duos "Manhooker" and "Space Echo". Whilst both projects are still relatively new to the scene, they have equally made a stir with their first releases.

Manhooker consists of the two Berliners by choice Tomasz “Guiddo” Switala and Sebastian “Mavin” Magassouba. Their first release appeared on Ostgut Ton´s sublabel 'Unterton' and their second EP was recently released on german heavy hitters 'Sonar Kollektiv' - a collab with ex New Yorker Snax, featuring a remix by Justus Köhncke.

With 'Pushin & Shovin', Manhooker are once again evoking the spirit of classic soulful house hymns. It's an uplifting mix of 90s organs, filtered arpeggios and thick drums all held together by an acid bassline and Mavin´s shimmering vocals. And not to forget the trumpet solo!

The remix of 'Pushin & Shovin' comes from Brazilian wunderkind ROTCIV (who has already remixed Manhooker on their Unterton release). He strips off the smoothness of the original in favor of a more raw and analogue vibe. Its groove seems like a merger of modern electro and classic house, and although ROTCIV´s trademark stabs and pads are used quite ecstatically on this remix, the song structure remains just as strong as in the original.

On The flipside we have Space Echo, the duo of Viennese producer caTekk and (Luv Shack`s very own) Lee Stevens. Their first ever production as a duo was a remix for none other than Austra on Domino Records.

They're offering two equally powerful cuts on the B-side; 'Soul Power' is nothing short of a club burner. A mighty and continuously building ride of funk organs and disco drums, all with a delightfully modern touch. When the vocal kicks in for the first time, ringing in the break, the audience will surely fall into a frenzy when exposed to it! The disco guitars are just the icing on the cake.

'Soul People' takes a slightly more sensual path. Expect dreamy rhodes, dubbed out percussive organs, an almost reggae worthy bassline, a painfully sweet vocal hook and a sharp rhythm that make this track a perfect choice for every warmup, after-hours and daytime set!

With all its ingredients, LUV011 will provide something for everyone who loves electronic music with soul!

Pierre d'Estienne d'Orves is Tour-Maubourg, a defining force in France’s contemporary electronic music landscape, shaping the evolution of nu-jazz and house with his distinctive sound. His productions have resonated widely, earning millions of streams on Spotify and establishing him as one of the most compelling artists in recent years.

Drawing from influences like St Germain, Nicolas Jaar, and Ron Trent, he first gained industry recognition with a series of well-received EPs between 2017 and 2020. His debut album, Paradis Artificiels (2020), was met with critical acclaim, securing coverage in imprints such as Tsugi, Trax or DJ Mag and even leading to a televised live performance on Séquences (France Télévision).

In 2023, he pushed his sonic boundaries further with Spaces of Silence, an album that fluidly merges soulful house, acid jazz, and experimental elements, earning praise from critics. The following year, he embarked on a new musical journey alongside French saxophonist Ismael Ndir, blending jazz with electronic textures in their debut duo EP, The Panorama Sessions, recorded in Brussels. His latest release, The Floating on Silence EP and Remixes, features collaborations with K-Lone, I:Cube, and other notable artists on Noire & Blanche.

Tour-Maubourg’s presence extends beyond the studio, as he has performed at some of Europe’s most respected venues, including Rex, Badaboum, Night Tales Loft, or Sisyphos, plus an uncountable number of festivals.

It feels quite surreal to say this, but Episode 03 of the Balearic London mix series is brought by none other than Italo house legend Don Carlos. Starting his DJ career in the late 70s, he is best known for his production debut 'Alone'. Widely known as the epitome of what dream house is, the track combines emotive piano chords, crisp percussion, and ethereal pads in what is beautifully floaty yet perfectly punchy perfection. Since then he's released more underground hits under his own name as well as his Montego Bay and Aquanauts monikers. He isn't just a legend of the 90s though, his releases in the recent years on Freerange Records, Utopia, Irma Records, and remixes on Wolf Music and more show that his music sounds as fresh now as ever.

We are so excited to have him as our next guest of our mix series. Get stuck in, and join us at Distillery N17 on the 5th of September where he will be headlining his first gig in London since 2020. Get your tickets at https://ra.co/events/2185010
