Dusk

Transmission incoming from Mr. Incognito's secret lab. Rat Life presents eight psycho acoustic models made by the low key East German producer. You probably never heard of him, but he is doing this thing since half an eternity. Rather than playing a lot of shows he focuses on studying the craft of electronic sound manipulation and what else can be said that: he is on top of his game! He shows us that it is still possible to create sonic structures that are beyond the usual by just using classic devices such as the TR 808 rhythm composer and a TB 303 monophonic synthesizer. Next level funk composing at various tempi!

“The Orion Years” finally reissued in vinyl format to celebrate its 25th Anniversary // Hybride Sentimento invite Thomas P. Heckmann with one of his most prolific alias; AGE. An ode to 60’s German sci-fi TV series: “Raumpatrouille Orion". Deluxe Edition with new artwork + 2 exclusive tracks, remastered by artist himself, at TROPE studio (Mainz,Germany). Back in 1994, an emulsion time for club oriented electronic music and while biggest techno hits were produced, a bunch of musicians started to explore machines in a non-conventional way, giving another smell to the appreaciation of this new form of music and production: independant, synthetic & futuristic(in the way of announcing something modern; out of humanity). We can point out just a few labels spreading this kind of 'avantgarde' electronic scene, Mille Plateaux, where "The Orion Years" has been published, was one of them. Some of those artists been highly appreaciated by the audience, basing their career on such abstract, melodic or not, experimental dance muzik, sometimes assisted by computers or sequencers, sometimes not.  

Thomas P. Heckmann took part to this specific orientation in a very subtle way as his career always been based on techno production. Aside the hits (at the time on top of big charts), Thomas Heckmann always played with outfits and aliases, permitting to spread secretly, more developed and less commercial, maybe more personnal productions through different labels often owned by himself. At the difference of all his productions, the first album under AGE moniker appears to (still) be an UFO of a generation and a career. Hybride Sentimento, in collaboration with Trope, is happy to reissue an album probably timeless for every aspects quoted, and for the reason to be privately worship since 1st meeting. Enjoy!

Animal Shelter (Dub)

The midday sun scorched the tarmac and beamed down on the buildings that bordered either side of the wide street. The concrete and glass faces of each tower reflected and intensified the sunlight, forcing people to shelter from the heat in doorways and under awnings. A trader from one of the market stalls that lined the street wiped the sweat from his brow as he bartered with a customer, while a driver in a glimmering car tried to navigate their way through the immovable crowd. From one of the buildings, a girl watched from her window, completely safe from the unrelenting chaos that ensued below.

São Paulo based musician Frontinn is next up on ODDiscos, the label associated with ODD, a São Paulo collective that offers an alternative platform for expression. Marking the producer's debut album, Underlying Problems, matches spacious production and atmospheric harmonies, evident on our pick ‘Relentless Effort’; a steadily paced EBM-influenced cut with woozy synth lines, subdued percussion and repetitive bass.

PREMIERE: Frontinn - Relentless Effort [ODDiscos]

Pleasure Model - Update 2.1 EP
[Digital / Exclusive Ltd. Merchandise]

Pleasure Model is back to Dalmata Daniel after an EP and two albums in the past and before a forthcoming album in the near future on 100% Silk.
The master behind this moniker is not a secret, Antoni Maiovvi who developed Update 2.1 EP while his base was in The Hague, NL. This bouquet of tracks drive by freaky house sounds with heavy drums and sinful pleasures.
Perfect end of Summer soundtrack in these weird times when the world is upside down and every happiness has a bit of melancholia.

DDD07 comes with a Studio Jetski designed limited screen printed tote bag, which is the physical part of this EP.

Written & Recorded by @antonmaiof in The Hague, NL 2018
