Lion’s Drums full length exists as an exploration in multiple dimensions. First by challenging the notion of the album format by presenting a body of work that lies snuggly between remixes, edits and original works and secondly as a means to delve into the transcendent potential of the drum. 

Textures hovering above in the Manos Tsangaris’ collaboration “Crying Tafel” and his re-imagining of Tullio De Piscopo’s unhinged drum excursion “Fastness”. The closing exemplifies the edit/remix/original ethos proposed for this work with Lions Drums drawing from tapes and original material of electronic pioneers Suzanne Ciani and Roberto Musci. Drawing from unreleased music and song sketches by the original artists as well as field recordings from travels & studio sessions made by Roberto Musci & Manos Tsangaris in the 80's and early 90’s he constructs a side winding journey through playful textures and ethereal moods.

8 months after the release of their 3rd EP, spotlight on leftfield italo, Mister T. records are now back with their first official digital release to light up dancefloors with its load of vintage synths and iconic drum machines. 

Fedor aka Sim Fossil is a Russian DJ and producer from Moscow, now based in Paris. He started his journey in the electronic scene 10 years ago, producing under his house alias Cossway with many releases on HedZup, Whoyostro, Hatch, Deepolody, Inter records, etc.. Big fan of labels like Mood Hut, Pacific Rhythm or PPU, this new release is a big step for him, making his debut in the 90’s electronic music.

With the Body Contact EP he mixes his influences, coming from the Belgian, Canadian and US underground scenes, to deliver three tracks, complex blends of saturated samples and vintage drum machines. 

The EP opens with ‘Body Contact’, its most dance-floor friendly track, mixing together the loud and simple rhythms of newbeat jamming with Sim’s distorted house samples. 

MTT is proud to release this EP as a tribute to newbeat & as Fedor’s first move with his new alias.

INCOMING : Sim Fossil - Body Contact #MisterT

The room was hot and balmy making it impossible to sleep through the entire night, instead she writhed around in a semi-sleepless state. There was something on her mind, it didn't just plague her waking hours, it infiltrated her dreams too. Shaking the anxiety and moving forward was proving difficult, it didn't matter how hard she tried to block it out and bury it way back in her subconscious. Sooner or later somebody would find out the truth - her karma was definitely in the post. 

Manuel Darquart have made a name for themselves with their laidback take on Balearic, house and boogie. EPs for the likes of Wolf Music, Semi Delicious and Childsplay have been the vessels for their creations over the last five years, and now, in what we'd say is something of a match made in heaven, they make their debut on Mike Who's Planet Trip. In The Post is the London-based duo doing what they do best: a hunk of smooth boogie, hot house jams and dreamy Balearic bliss.

PREMIERE: Manuel Darquart - In The Post [Planet Trip]

Solar EP is built for late-night sets, deep rooms, and wide open festival spaces.
Dark melodic house, powerful low end, and space-inspired atmospheres.
If you enjoy artists like Ben Böhmer, Yotto, or Stephan Bodzin — this one is for you.

I wanted to capture the feeling of drifting toward a growing light in the darkness — hope, motion, and gravity pulling you forward.
Every track is a piece of that journey.

Thank you for supporting my music.

Next up is an EP from Rutilance Recordings owner, DJ Steaw. The French artist crafted four sturdy tracks on this fresh EP. It is a perfect blend between Chicago and New York House, with a big splash of Acid throughout the disc. The hypnotising percussion and grimy sounds could take you to new, unforeseen places... Keywords for best describing this 12” are, beyond any doubt, deep and vigorous. Enjoy these four definite killers in the club.

Release date: October 5th, 2015
