London based label and collective Cartulis Music announce their fifteenth release titled “Twilight Expanse” by New York producer Ebeats. A reissue from the early noughties featuring a previously unreleased Ebeats cut plus two new remixes by the legendary Radioactive Man and FOLD associate Voicedrone. The title track is one near and dear to the spirit of Cartulis - an emotive journey through hazy breakbeats, sirens from faraway lands, dramatic narratives battling through each other in a nine minute long piece of music. The rest of the record swings from club-ready techno grooves to various shades of electro - dark and dubby or bright and punchy.

The fourth release from Cartulis Music's sublabel, ALT, is brought to you by the freshly formed French duo known as AV1. This will be the first record of a 2-part series by the newly formed duo under ALT.

AV1 is a project helmed by the seasoned producer and DJ, Chris Carrier, who has been making waves in the music scene since the late '90s. Accompanied by Le Loup, another stalwart of the Parisian music scene, this dynamic duo shares a profound passion for acid and classicist house/techno grooves.

The EP kicks off with "Light Gate," a mesmerizing, steady techno journey infused with subtle trance elements and harmonious pads that captivate both the mind and the body. The A side follows with "Origins," an effortlessly flowing breakbeat composition adorned with just the right touch of acid, crafting an enigmatic yet inviting ambiance.

On the B side, we go deeper with "98% Safe," a dynamic track that seamlessly transitions from euphoric synths and bursts of color to mind-bending acid grooves and ominous undertones. This sonic tapestry is expertly woven together through innovative sampling techniques and a sense of fluidity. Bringing the record to a sublime close is "8 OG," a dreamy electro piece perfectly suited for a multitude of settings, it’s a sonic journey that beckons us to join in and experience it firsthand.

Cartulis Live Series Podcast 012 - Cabanelas (Live)
Recorded in October 2024 at Phonotheque, Montevideo.

For this new episode of our live podcast series, we present the debut live set by Cabanelas — a sincere and carefully crafted journey through his musical vision, recorded in one of the most emblematic clubs of his hometown.

Ignacio Cabanelas, born in Montevideo in the late '80s, began collecting records and producing music before making his DJ debut in 2015 at Phonotheque. That same year, he co-launched the party series No Way Back, a project born from a shared passion for electronic music.

In 2018, he co-founded the label Montevideo Electric Recordings (MER) with Santiago Uribe, Juan Dairecshion, and Soto, with the aim of supporting and releasing music from the region.

This recording captures a special moment, his first ever live set, and offers a glimpse into his evolving sound.

This set is dedicated to Agustín Campolo (RIP), a friend and an inspiration.

We’re happy to share it with you.

Cartulis is really happy to present the next episode of our Live Series podcast.

For number 009, we bring you a very special recording, a 5-hour journey captured live during our 15th Anniversary at Fold. That night, Room 2 was fully taken over by Outransa, the collaborative project of Kensa and Nicky Macha.

The duo delivered an all-night-long set that perfectly captured their identity and the energy of the night. They’ve been shaping their sound and vision over the years, and this recording is a beautiful reflection of that.

So sit back, press play, and relive the vibe of that unforgettable night in Room 2 of Fold, with Outransa.

Outransa // Cartulis Live Series 009

"The warm-up slot has always been a setting that feels natural to me.
I have been a resident at Phonotheque since my years living in Uruguay up until 2017 (and I still proudly hold that residency today). Back then, playing on rotation across all time slots gave me the chance to experiment and grow as an artist. Later, in 2019, after moving to Europe, I also became a resident at Cartulis, and this ongoing rotation of slots has continued to this day in both residencies.

Playing at a club like Fold is both a luxury and a rare comfort, something that makes everything flow more easily and enjoyably.
This set is a memory of a very special night, recorded on January 28th, 2023. I opened the night, followed by Radioactive Man, Nicolas Lutz, Unai Trotti, Vass, and Walrus." Z@p
