WTHI083 - Erdi Irmak - Last Runner (Original Mix)

Presenting their final release of the year, Antrim’s Or Two Strangers welcomes Jesuan M back to the label for a new EP. Hailing from Argentina, Jesuan M has continued to rise since first emerging in 2019. Forging a bond with Or Two Strangers early in his production journey, Jesuan made his label debut in 2020 with a contribution to the label’s popular ‘Strangers 2’ collection, a track co-produced with Andres Moris which saw play from Hernan Cattaneo. Also, a regular on label affiliate Strangers Beats, Jesuan would once again pair with fellow countryman Andres Moris for the 2021 offering ‘Blooming Memories’, before going on to release what would have to be considered his best work to date in ‘Midnight Thoughts’, a two-track showcase which landed on Or Two Strangers last year. Now, as 2022 winds to a close Jesuan makes a much-anticipated return to the label with ‘Last Words’. 

Beginning with the quirky hooks and powerful drive of ‘Last Words’, Jesuan flexes his free-thinking muscles with a creation equally at home on a peak time dance floor or floating above a festival skyline. Its tough, rolling groove commands a big presence from the outset, adorned with fiery percussion and electric pulses which drive momentum forward. Cosmic effects and a hip-swinging arp steal the air across the first act, building anticipation towards a dynamic break and suitably euphoric finale. 

The companion piece ‘With You’ continues the progressive tone set by its predecessor and ultimately lands with an equally impressive display of craftsmanship. Possessing a dramatic undercurrent, the Argentine works hypnotizing percussion over chugging grooves and fragmented melodies, creating waves of ultrasonic energy across the first act. Its thrilling pulse builds during a dramatic break, where emotive bass swells prelude a thunderous drop and colourful melodic conclusion. An epic end to a fresh two-track showcase, one where Jesuan carefully balances rhythm and groove with technique and musicality.

Dany DZ - Flashback (Original Mix)

The third part of the series serves as an intellectual, emotional, and visionary installment of the conceptually crafted material. Guy J, as with each of his releases, challenges the status quo and expands the boundaries of musical expression. Through nearly eighteen minutes of meditative music, this release delves deeper into abstraction and cerebral exploration while maintaining a connection to human emotions.
In late 2023, the release of the first part of Drifting Memory heralded a new chapter for Armadillo Records. Guy, renowned for his stellar career in producing drum-based dance music, decided to reduce his sonic palette to drumless music. This reduction doesn't adhere to the classical minimalist form as critics often define it. Instead, his expression is distilled into free-pitch synthesizer sounds, reflecting the personal vision of escapism through the art form. Drifting Memory Part 3 offers music suitable for deep relaxation and meditation or as an ideal soundtrack for uncharted interstellar exploration.

“Echoes From the Future,” is a masterful EP that bridges the gap between the ancient and the avant garde. This release fuses the grounded, spiritual essence of Organic House with the uplifting, emotional sweep of Melodic House. Clay Lio crafts a deep, mellow sound, built on a foundation of hypnotic grooves and multi-layered percussion that echoes the natural world. Acoustic textures blend seamlessly with ethereal synthesizers and intricate melodic builds, creating a soundscape that is both meditative and perfectly calibrated for the dance floor. Echoes From the Future is a soulful and compelling listening experience for those seeking the deeper, more emotional side of house music.
