There's a deeply- rooted philosophical dedication to real time devotion at the heart of Mikey Horesh work as Coobe. Just like it takes two to Tango, Mikey views the dance floor event as directly depending on a degree of activeness and faith from both DJ and audiences. Both players must arrive to the scene confident in its energetic potential, without hesitation. It is, according to Mikey, hesitation that makes us doubt.

Mono Junk - Vanished [FP016-LP]

Amarcord is the moniker of a musician, DJ and live performer also active in the experimental music circuit. With a very diverse background that ranges from Krautrock and Ambient to New Wave, Disco and Techno, both Amarcord's productions and DJ sets are characterized by continuous research and personal development which distinguish him as an artist never scared of breaking boundaries and taking unpredictable choices.

Despite his super young age, Amarcord’s music has been featured on record labels such as Jennifer Cardini’s Correspondant, Watergate (for the compilation curated by Who Made Who), Ombra International and Aeon and lots of projects are still in the making and to be revealed soon.

Recently he played at this year's edition of the prestigious NAME Festival in Lille alongside some of the biggest artists in the industry and he's a member of North Italy's much appreciated collective MEET Compact Club which runs a party called 'Deestricted' at Berlin's acclaimed venue Griessmuehle.

TenGrams are brothers Alessandro and Davide, who collectively have a deep and long understanding of electronic music. Davide is a co-founder of N.O.I.A, one of Italy's first electronic live acts to perform and record with drum machines and synthesizers as early as 1978. He was also behind seminal Italo outfit Klein + M.B.O and proto house hit “Dirty Talk”.
Alessandro, following in his brothers footsteps was inevitable and he too became hooked on the incredible new sound palette emanating from the early electronic machines.
Since then they have released under an array of aliases, have clocked up numerous club hits and this project brings them back to their electronic roots.
