From open till close the space was bustling with faces both familiar and fresh. Over the years it had welcomed all manner of vibrant characters; some made their way here from across the world while others were local devotees, who had begun to call this place home. Community would continue to remain at its core: a hub for those with open minds and open ears. 

To celebrate ten years in the game, Milan-based record shop Serendeepity have rounded up artists and friends from around the world for a mammoth compilation, released on vinyl in four consecutive parts. Totalling 18 original tracks, the release features a star-studded cast, all of whom have supported the store over the last decade — the likes of San Proper, Dj Marcelle, JD Twitch, Ellen Allien, Egyptian Lover, Matias Aguayo, Tamburi Neri and many more.

The Futurists rejected tradition and introduced experimental sounds , and this fact, that influenced a lot of composers during the 20th century, helped them to build a concept that started the career of Barcelona based duo Iro Aka. The evolution of their music started with this EP, fluctuating through psychedelic and esoteric influences, taking as its main references the continuous technological evolution and those new techniques to make electronic music. “Futur” is an extract of the first ideas of Iro Aka. They started the project at the beginning of the 2017 and then this EP was produced then, showing the abstraction that they felt at that moment, a path drawn by different sounds that came from different people and different places.
Tapan leaves their mark on Zukunft with reimagining the original as a slowly building, tribal inspired and almost sitting in an alternative timeline. Clever use of percussive elements does not take away from the track being playable in the club.
The slightly psychedelic dance floor experience is delivered by Anatolian Weapons. Pulsating rhythms intertwine with classic drum sounds and paint a mood almost contradicting the vocals of the track. Perfect secret track for any dance-floor.

RIO03 B2) Dolphins - Last Tango ft. Janik Hotz

Now. The rules are simple - they lie to us, we know they're lying, they know we know they're lying, but they keep lying to us, and we keep pretending to believe them. 
Before. Those who floated in the ark were weightless and had weightless thoughts. They were neither hungry nor satisfied. They had no happiness and no fear of losing it. Their heads were not filled with petty official calculations, intrigues, promotions, and their shoulders were not burdened with concerns about housing, fuel, bread, and clothes for the children. Love, which from time immemorial has been the delight and the torment of humanity, was powerless to communicate to them its thrill or its agony. Their prison terms were so long that no one even thought of the time when he would go out into freedom. Men with exceptional Intellect, education, and experience, but too devoted to their families to have much of themselves left over for their friends, here belonged only to friends. This is not exist anymore.
"All Human – No Conditions” is the first solo EP by the French producer Itako. The opener “The Country That Does Not Exist” is a slow burning and bass-driven tune in which hypnotic synth and acid lines merge with North African vocal pieces. And then appears MR TC. The Glasgow based musician stretched “The Country That Does Not Exist“ into a tribal workout with breaks in which he lets the machines speak for themselves. This remix was smashing dosents of dancefloors in the end of 2019 and it will become a hit in 2020.

PREMIERE #780 | Itako - The Country That Does Not Exist (MR TC Remix) [Reach Another System] 2020

Being long time fans of the late Andrew Weatherall just like us here at MT, Full Circle approached a 2nd remix project to Die Orangen with a new angle, an hommage to A.W. 
The result is a dirty dubby banger of a remix to Die Orangen's KRAUTBACK track out of their sophomore LP Zwei Orangen out in 2019 on Malka Tuti.

Our first digital release is a collection of secret edits, mixes, and dub versions. All were made during the last 5 years for private use, experimental live gigs, and podcasts and it was recently decided that these five music pieces deserve an independent release. Each pack includes a pdf-poster. The second part will come out next year. Art by Kei. 

If you want to pre-order a vinyl, you can crowdfund on the project's qrates page.
