Oblako Maranta, the tribal techno and weird disco duo formed by Russian producer Radial Gaze and Italian A-Tweed, are set to make their debut on the label with their EP, ‘Maranta Kicks’. The EP consists of three original tracks and a powerful percussive remix by German poet and musician Bryan Kessler.

The duo has already released several tracks in different compilations by Samo Records, Electric Shapes, Playground Records, Rotten City, and many more. With ‘Maranta Kicks’, the duo brings their wild drums, analog synths, odd magic samples, and deep “Maranta” kicks to their first EP.

The opener is “Mongol Triol”, a track with tribal trance-inducing percussion, and deep basses. The synth-artificial jungle takes you on an expedition, gradually revealing a mysterious lead created with a TB 303 while the ethereal voices resonate in the background and keeps the journey alive. The following cut, “Pumas”, is slow, somniferous, and powerful. Resonant and metallic synths play in the background, while the rhythm slowly gains strength to enter the machine's gears. The non-stop percussion adds to the overall effect.

Bryan Kessler's remix follows, a lively and energetic cut. Sharp sounds accelerate the pace, welcomed by a fat and solid bass, playful and resounding percussion, snare rolls, and sedative vocals. The EP closes with ‘Vega’s Glove’, a frenzied and wild track. Melting synths generate the atmosphere, while the drum and bassline take you on a journey through a tunnel of delirium and bottomless pit.

‘Maranta Kicks’ by Oblako Maranta will be available on May 19, 2023.

The next installment on @feinestier is being delivered by none other than musician, poet and enfant terrible extraordinaire @bryankessler and boy, does he deliver indeed, giving us „An Idea Of What We Could Be If We Were Not Ourselves“. And however you might decode this idea personally (as it is brought to us in the language of music), it is certainly a precisely shaped one. All over the EP Bryan is bringing the goods with his signature raw-yet-meticuosly-arranged production style introducing sudden flashes of ecstasy, be it with some surprise trancy synth stabs (on the title track), red-herring-piano-chords („Forgot to Forget“) or raunchy sax samples („Fingernails and Breakfast“). As you already might’ve noticed by now, Bryan is also on top of his naming game, giving us the (un-)aptly named „Minimal Sucks Hard“, which contains a hard-hitting beat that reads like a Kessleresque variation of a Rominimal House tune. So to give you a summarizing evaluation of the countless ideas flowing around in this EP: When in doubt, go Kessler!

After 25 years on the Slovak underground electronic scene (previously as DJ Pete), RawNo!r already knows how to do it very well. Times change but people still want the same thing. A good dose of quality music that will satisfy their longing senses and take them far away to get lost somewhere where they feel most themselves.

You could hear him in many clubs throughout Slovakia and the neighbouring Czech Republic and Austria were not missed either. Current bookings include, in addition to the well-known trendy spots of the capital, such as Radosť, Fuga or Wax, also many other events in his native Trnava or in his current place Poprad.

Nowadays he finds the greatest satisfaction in energetic sets with a strong groove and a hypnotic touch in an eclectic fusion of house and techno. As his long-hidden alter-ego, he now plays psy-techno more often.

Currently, his sets are regularly selected and included in the broadcasting of the Slovak Radio FM in the shows Mixtape_FM, Fresh_FM, Scena_FM and LetnyMix_FM.
