MATY OWL Spiritual Lesson

001 spiritual lesson
002 spiritual lesson LADS remix
003 the alchemist says
004 the alchemist says torsten fassbender remix

Brazilian magic casts a spell over Mango Alley with Maty Owl and his "Spiritual Lesson". A subtle arpeggio opens a "Spiritual Lesson" of timeless quality. Evolving with musical nourishment over eight minutes, wonderfully detuned harmonics blend with striking off-beat percussion and interwoven melodic phrasing. "The Alchemist" sweeps into view to summon a golden lustre of rich bassline, opulent chords and meandering lead line full of mystery and charm.

German mystique creates a fairy-tale reimagining of musical sorcery through the fingertips of Torsten Fassbender. Conjuring up a new sonic blend, a lead full of white-noise power fires from left to right in perfect syncopated cadence. A cross continent experiment finds LADS capturing the essence of a "Spiritual Lesson" in expertly arpeggiated reinvention. Ticking percussion heralds a tutorial in musical craftsmanship as resonant themes crackle and cascade in new and subtle variation; stratified layers of sound produce a masterful rework.

A Mango Alley regular, Movement Machina returns to the high-profile imprint with a full-length debut album of scope, vision and creativity.

a project that saw its inception in summer 2019 sees "Analog Politics" come to fruition. Crafted and curated with rare passion and attention to detail, Movement Machina has taken a lead role in all aspects of the album's development – from musical production to artwork design and mastering at Finland's renowned Finnvox Mastering Studios. The result is a body of work that bristles with a dynamic energy and trademark melodic ingenuity, centred around the duality of everyday life within the cold, harsh world of "conflicting interrelationships among people" and Machiavellian notions of power and authority. "Analog Politics" thus presents an antidote to life's harsher realities by forging a path through rich analogue soundscapes to a sphere of light and influence, finding a passion for life and meaningful connections with the world around them.

Reflecting this juxtaposition between the integrity and warmth of the 'analogue' world with the superficiality and scheming coldness of 'politics', "Analog Politics" saw Movement Machina compose the album on only analogue equipment before refining and sculpting it in the digital realm. Through a combination of intricate rhythmic backdrops that flow through the 13-track opus, the rolling groove and hypnotic arpeggio of "Badge" and heavy beat of ticking hi-hat shuffle of "Tremors" mingle with a triptych of subtle interludes and pitched vocal treatments that break-up the album into its different movements.

Thus, the rich sonic architecture and textured soundscapes of "Link", "Passenger" and "Reference", contrast with heavy bassline power and angular lead-line of "Knight" and the mesmeric "4000 Dreams". Imaginative and innovative across its entirety, the driving techno beat and evolving arpeggios of "Versus" and "Ilsa" showcase another side to the Finn's production prowess.

Through a unique musical vision and a strong narrative thread, Movement Machina has successfully tied a selection of dancefloor cuts and more experimental interludes to create a wonderful collection of tracks that take a fascinating glimpse into the world of "Analog Politics".

CHOOK Leaders / Beyond Redemption

001 leaders
002 leaders sonic union & mxv remix
003 beyond redemption
004 beyond redemption mango remix

A powerful paradox rises from the heart of northern Europe. The dense rural landscapes of the Ardennes provide the backdrop for Chook and his "Leaders". Bassline prowess and dynamic rhythms drive through the heart of darkness with a light melodic touch and a message that transcends beyond music. Smooth arpeggiated touches ripple "Beyond Redemption" alongside a rasping bass groove. Layers of sounds and effects create a rich sonic palette that develops a complex story of hope and caution.

Continuing a long history of musical craftsmanship, Sonic Union and MXV emerge ice-cold from Scandinavian glaciers and London pulse. New leaders emerge from the imagination of an impressive general. An innovative sonic architecture is built upon familiar foundations as darkness and light prevail in musical enigma. Returning to lead from the front, Mango's redemption is complete. Marshalling a new sonic future with the past firmly at his feet, Russia and Luxembourg meet in glorious new partnership. Vibrant melodies shimmer and shake in cool filtered patterns, entwined within hypnotic bass groove.

A new generation rises to challenge leaders beyond redemption.

STEVE SLIGHT Saga

001 saga
002 saga a.m.r remix
003 saga aves volare remix
004 saga sinerider remix

From Flanders fields, a new arrival enters the Mango Alley hall of fame. Steve Slight returns after Amsterdam debut to continue his "Saga" of crystal-clear credentials. Driving rhythmic energy provides a club-friendly atmosphere as a narrative of musical phrases interconnect in complex musical storytelling of arpeggio, chord progression and vocal.

Shining in the spotlight, A.M.R writes a new chapter of intricate rolling rhythms and subterranean bass groove. "Let it out" inspires a rich melodic playground of keys, pads and strings that percolate gently within a beautiful new structure. A trilogy of remixes continues the saga as Australian musical engineering gifts a new narrative from the mind of Aves Volare. A plaintiff cry punctures a pulsating sonic landscape of cavernous bass sequence and pure emotion; familiar threads ripple in delayed arpeggiation while a swirling new creation invigorates.

Brilliance and warm radiates across the Massachusetts landscape; SineRider continues the saga in diaphanous glory. Elegant chord progressions and muted arpeggios mingle and entwine in a smooth and subtle narration that drifts to a point of aural convergence.

MIDNIGHT TRAFFIC Light Year

001 light year
002 light year ampish remix
003 light year ewan rill remix

From a city that never sleeps, Midnight Traffic surges through Hyderabad. A "Light Year" that sparkles and shimmers. Melodies become frozen in time, weightless and timeless they flow in never-ending patterns. White-noise washes and dizzying stereoscopic sensations converge again in hypnotic rhythmic cadence.

Egyptian skies reflect a new vision with striking beat. The rhythm of the earth's pulse reflected in clear night air. Amplified through a new sound palette, familiar pads sweep across time and patterns appear through new sonic architecture. Ampish travels a new "Light Year" where rolling bassline frequencies resonate in hypnotic dancefloor fashion in the flash of an eye.

From north-western Russia, Ewan Rill creates a new vision of St. Petersburg beauty. Dark intensity pervades the deep space of echoing bassline pattern that drifts effortlessly. A star-field of twinkling lights sonically reflected in delayed synth notes fade into the distance, colliding occasionally in reverberated openness. Power and clarity represented in mathematical precision through space and time.

002 photism chook remix
003 follow me
004 follow me arude remix

A fizzing, crackling backdrop powers a new sonic arsenal from southwestern Germany, Tantum explodes out of Karlsruhe in brilliant "Photism". Aural shards pierce the frequency spectrum with pinpoint precision as heavy beat anchors. "Follow Me" with continued narrative and sonic synchronicity. Bassline cadence and hi-hat groove are wrapped in warm rhythmic blanket while analogue motif creates a new melodic mosaic. Patterns swirl enriching the auditory senses – buzzing and swirling they saturate the mind in iridescent colours.

A Luxembourg star, once again in ascendance sparkles with a new "Photism". Synaesthetic colours emerge from Chook's mind, brilliantly conceived they converge in sonic patterns that spin and eddy across the mind's eye. Echoes of Tantum rip through bassline power and saturated brilliance. A Mango Alley debutant finds Arude forging his own path. "Follow Me" creates a new vision, unencumbered by convention as a legato lead slides in mesmeric fashion and familiar fragments permeate the sonic consciousness. Rising and falling with consummate ease, snare fills and rolling groove showcase talent in abundance.

ALEX O'RION Around Us

001 around us
002 envy
003 ukko

From ancient Gelderland and its city of new church, Alex O'Rion rises "Around Us". A glittering edifice with crisp percussive foundations and bassline shines with melodic intensity. Sonically shifting, motifs echo into the distance with grace and poise, pervading the senses they fill the aural space with ease.

The age of "Envy" is brought into sharp focus with metronomic rhythmic force. Hypnotic and alluring, shakers fill the air with timing and precision while rippling keys add lightness of touch soaked in reverberated reflections and exquisite melancholy. An antidote to base emotion found in pure musical formulation.

"Ukko" reigns from above, the god of the sky unleashes thunderous musical expression. Cavernous bassline patterns rumble across the lower frequencies while resonant effects shatter the sonic landscape with pulsating white-noise swells. Sunlit sonic motifs emerge from the gloom in resplendent fashion to ease the oppression from the skies.

005 balance alternative mix

"Balance" and poise now and Th;en finds sparkling arpeggios bouncing off the sunlit Rhine in dancing patterns, driving forwards with heavy beat and relentless energy. Dancefloor elements are perfectly equalised while an alternative mix is a flawless fulcrum for new melodic levers to balance each other.

On the Baltic coast, Rauschhaus provides new musical balance. Emotion pours in waves, flooding through synthesised chords and rapidly fizzing LFOs. Growling with bassline power, arpeggios glitter in familiar refrain.

A prestigious rise from the banks of the River Waal, Mohn's compact and global underground appeal hit yet another peak. Legato bassline powers forwards under aural atmosphere and dizzying effects as melody emerges with purpose.

Expanding from the heat of Cauca River, Kamilo Sanclemente and Dabeat continue their ascent to the underground dance summit through languorous bass and percussive groove. Juxtaposed melodies and sonic sirens hit the perfect balance.

001 wake up
002 wake up ampish remix
003 parada remix
004 parada tantum remix

From a storied city, youthful fascination saw Starkato "Wake Up" to electronic music. Blossoming with techno brilliance, fizzing synthesised lines crackle in summer lightning strikes. A menacing bassline looms large over Berlin, panning LFOs reveal an omnipresence against a powerful metrical backdrop. Cold and motionless, circuitry is brought to life in "Parada" where an analogue narrative continues through the German capital. Warm motifs pulsate in waves across ancient architecture as the beating heart of a city at European centre is mirrored in metronomic pulse.

Radiating light across the Mediterranean, Ampish shines brightly over Alexandria. Sonic waves glisten across the seas in percussive rhythms, a siren rouses all from night-time reverie. "Wake Up" reinterpreted in dynamic fashion from an Egyptian star in ascendance, as powerful chords and emotive patterns flourish. Returning with typical aplomb, Tantum brings "Parada" to life with passion and emotion. A rippling arpeggio explodes into life alongside powerful bassline presence and machine-gun fire percussion. Karlsruhe is the epicentre of creative virtuosity where rhythm and melody combine in symbiotic harmony.

INTEGRAL BREAD Me Atrapas

001 me atrapas
002 me atrapas torsten fassbender remix
003 me atrapas steve slight remix
004 me atrapas the wash remix

Andalusian splendour shines in bright sapphire skies. Integral Bread catches fire through "Me Atrapas". Sonic fireworks cascade in vivid technicolour as fizzing hi-hats and firecracker beat dance against a sharp melodic groove. Bass frequencies boom in vibrant patterns as effects and motifs glow with omnipresence.

Berlin cool blends with Spanish warmth as Torsten Fassbender returns to Mango Alley; "Me Atrapas" reworked with German power and ingenuity. Central themes are hypnotically brought to the fore alongside rich glissando bassline and intelligently placed effects.

From the confluence of Leie and Scheldt Rivers, reverberated depth and emotive phrasing finds melodies flowing through the fingertips of Steve Slight. Belgian mastery reinterprets Integral Bread in complex analogue shapes that shine a light on brilliant new musical streams.

Complex rhythmic arrangements form a foundation for mesmeric arpeggio and syncopated bassline force to combine on the River Danube. Vienna's historical musical legacy evolves via The Wash as "Me Atrapas" is caught in a new sonic paradigm of subtle melodic threads.

001 almeisan

004 alhena antrim remix

Across darkened velvet skies, "Almesian" burns brightly through the music of Golan Zocher and Greenage. Above South American and Indian continents complex constellations of sound are reflected in intricate percussive rhythms and galloping bassline. Stratified pads and filtered arpeggios glitter in deep reverberating space before "Alhena" appears. Evolving out of the same sonic matrix, a swirling and dense soundscape emerges in the night sky. A new energy formed from infinitely delayed synth lines and ethereal vocal phrases fly above seismic bassline and ticking rhythms.

Familiar melodies emerge across Gemini constellation as a new star is born. Bluum provides an unrivalled display of energy and emotion as "Alhena" charts a new course from the UK. Redolent in rich bassline dominance, new motifs provide elemental dynamism and explosive power. South America is once again the focus of attention where sultry rhythms emerge above Antrim's Cordoba. Exquisite sounds reveal themselves through ambient atmospheres and interwoven particles of noise that coalesce into new motifs and tropes; "Alhena" creates a new paradigm shift.

Igniting a mutual passion forged around a collaborative partnership with common purpose, Formel continue to excel on Mango Alley. Exploding with boundless energy, "Wharao" combines atmosphere and innovation bending real-world sound and phrases to their sonic will. Driving beat, emotive motifs and intelligent effects form around "Roban" while a familiar sonic thread reveals itself through incongruous tannoy chimes and loquacious Spanish language. Echoes of a progressive past resonate in elemental stuttered vibrancy.

From the suburbs to the Leipzig Bay, Aio is energised by the diversity and vivacity around him. Immaculate detail and rapacious energy drive "Wharao" forwards with renewed vigour. New melodies emerge from familiar waters that rise in new tributaries where golden sunlight radiates in the warm glow of the River Plate and subterranean groove emanates from Paul Deep. Spellbinding rhythmic patterns swirl before teasing at "Roban" melodies. Cavernous shifting soundscapes meander across crystal clear peaks to reach new sonic heights silhouetted against a familiar musical horizon.

From cultural centre in St. Petersburg across a thousand kilometres to a fortified citadel in Kazan, Anton Make provides a new sonic gift. Through "Ilfat", a pounding rhythmic exchange pulsates above ancient city walls. Rippling arpeggios punctuate over cross-cultural boundaries where Oriental meets Russian. Fizzing and bristling in emotive crescendo, powerful forces drive through the night.

Two-thousand miles across the "Volga", flowing melodic patterns create waves of subtle energy. Building in fizzing hi-hat power, hypnotic and cascading rhythms pour out into the Caspian Sea. Intensity builds through metronomic synth line that waxes and wanes in raw analogue synthesis.

Mathematical patterns emerge in perfect aural symmetry within "Fibonacci". Glittering percussive artefacts click and prick the sonic soundscape as musical patterns emerge through immaculate synthesised chords that shimmer in infinite delay.

004 eissturmvogel eric rose remix
005 turmfalke
006 nachtigall

Swooping from the skies of Berlin, Kaldera lands with beauty and birdsong. An avian inspired quartet glides through the cool sonic waves of "Eissturmvogel". From the smooth "Mauersegler", melodies shimmer on the wind with vibrato delays that fly through delicate aerodynamic shape. Subtle sequences are heard over counterpoint melodies that soar skywards in clear Arctic skies. The "Turmfalke" appears overhead with the heavy beat of powerful wings and natural elegance. Bassline dominates as an apex-predator hovers in the sky before climbing melodies rise in thermal spirals across a varied rhythmic landscape. The distinctive "Nachtigall" emerges with beautiful song translated into rich analogue synthesis where cascading patterns criss-cross the stereo spectrum with poise and grace to capture nature's call.

The "Eissturmvogel" re-emerges, reimagined from the foothills of the Sierras Chicas where Analog Jungs provides a new force. Melodies rise and fall in majestic patterns as rapid-fire percussion eases in cold mountain air. Familiar refrains mark a new territory before returning to the Northern Hemisphere where Eric Rose begins a new sonic voyage. Across cosmopolitan capital, hypnotic flight swirls in melodic patterns against the silken wings of throbbing beat and powerful sonic vision.

MARTY HICKS & MICHIRU AOYAMA A Summer, Archived

The duality of sound sculpted across two polar worlds; Michiru Aoyama and Marty Hicks joined through a single musical concept. A softly filtered light heralds dawn and dusk – two ends of a spectrum spread across east and west. An abundance of sound painted through a beautiful tonal palette of vivid sonic technicolour.

The dichotomy of analogue and digital brought together in an expertly shimmering collage of frequencies that rise and fall. Hushed tones reveal themselves through the farthest reaches of the sonic spectrum. An open ending, a mosaic of sound, swirling in soft soundscapes that capture the very essence of ambience and the beauty of melody.

Talent combined across European borders finds German duo joining forces with Mango Alley's supreme creative talent – TH;EN and Mango parade down "Narere". Rugged landscapes are represented though crisp percussive shell and dominant beats. Shakers whisper like a breeze through palm-lined streets as a sharp vocal punctures the sultry air. Atmospheric effects and bicycle bell chime create ambience in abundance as a hypnotic motif conjures up snapshots of life in the Pacific Ocean.

A cool shaker-fuelled phrase flows through the Swiss mountain air, Vanita provides a new view from "Narere". Emotive key changes swirl alongside sweeping white-noise washes, and glorious new melodies provide an anchor to refrains from the South Pacific. Sweden celebrates an influential talent, Hannes Wiehager delivers raw emotion and lush soundscapes from a tropical paradise. "Narere" finds a twin in Stockholm that blooms in verdant surrounding and blossoms in soft flowing melody and sounds that flourish. A brooding bassline hints at powerful forces beneath an island rich archipelago of beauty and intrigue.

A "Lost Planet" beckons as Hannes Wiehager and Chaum answer the call. Powerful emotion rises over Scandinavia travelling to the cradle of Western civilisation where driving rhythms and haunting vocals capture a powerful mood. Twinkling arpeggios and powerful bassline hit their mark, rising through a clear blue sky into the stratosphere.

A sinister edge pervades across a new world of sound. Acetylene torch leads cut through a powerful rhythmic force. Anakim provides a new vision from the city of angels that criss-crosses the audible spectrum in glittering sonic shards. German power is harnessed via the currents of melody that flow down the Rhine. Th;en provides the discovery of 'a lost planet' that finds its origins in familiar vocal refrains. Harmonic chords like slivers of ice showcase a new sonic architecture before the sultry rhythms of Aman Anand provide oriental flavours to a European world. Rhythmic complexity grows in new patterns of vocal phrases as bassline dominance creates a thundering force that emanates from another lost planet.

Greek wisdom ripples across Lake Kerkini to recognise "The Rise" of Simos Tagias. Melodic shards resonate through the cool mountain air and jagged rhythmic backdrop juts out among the rocky outcrop. Brilliant sonic colour emanates from Australian gems as GMJ and Matter return to familiar European waters. A bassline firmly anchored in the bedrock provides a foundation for rippling arpeggios and twinkling keys to reverberate across the valley in endless waves.

Argentina mines another successful partnership in the form of EANP. Soaring skywards, "The Rise" hits new heights where familiar patterns are fused into fresh sonic formations that stretch out in pulsating configurations. A newcomer clicks into gear with popping percussive framework as another alley debutant combines innovation with craftsmanship. Organic sounds are sculpted into imaginative electronic waveforms as new melodic sequences and glissando bassline are bent to impressive Australian will via Barbour.

"The Rise" of sound both silent and high, forged from earth and air.

A vivid sonic palette glows brightly from a cathedral of sound created by Fernando Olaya. A subterranean bassline from the depths of the Zapiqura salt mines radiates in warm tones. An echo to a French electronic icon reverberates through "Ethnicolor", sparkling arpeggios ripple outwards in gloriously emotive patterns and sumptuous underlying melody, bound together with driving rhythm and syncopated percussion. A charismatic array of sounds appears "Face to Face" communicating a powerful symbiotic relationship between rhythm and melody. A collage of counterpoint motifs provides aural intrigue and a central phrase pierces with powerful intent.

Matching a rapid upward trajectory to the soaring glass-fronted skyscrapers of Tim Penner's Toronto home, glittering shards of sound ripple in sunlit patterns through a new "Ethnicolor". Subtle variation reflects a central melodic framework as trademark groove and attention to detail reveal poise and power in perfect harmony. A Colombian duo reprises their partnership as Dabeat and Juan Pablo Torrez come "Face to Face" once more. A symphony of sounds collides across a study in perfect communication as the effect of mutual cooperation reveals sumptuous bassline groove and subtle melodic cues.

A whirling panoply of sounds finds Aio returning to familiar waters with a "Malstrom" of new ideas from the Leipzig Bay. Powerful rhythms and unrelenting arpeggio rise and fall. Frothing waters spew new phrases that catch on the wind and scatter in all directions that criss-cross the stereo spectrum in dizzying unrelenting fashion. Travelling north-east to the Berlin capital, Kaldera revisits Mango Alley with analogue mastery and melodic innovation. Familiar patterns emerge from the "Malstrom" to create a powerful musical vortex that tingles with bassline emotion and hints at stranger things.

A force to be reckoned with from the pearl of the Indian Ocean, Subandrio continues to navigate turbulent waters with ease. Rhythmic flair and bassline dominance provide familiar character before a "Malstrom" arrives in shimmering patterns where subtle new melodies rise out of the whirlpool to glitter and sparkle in the sunlight. Across the Atlantic Ocean, Allies For Everyone dominate Manhattan skylines. A new "Malstrom" of intent creates a turbulent wave of white noise as a force of nature reveals itself in memorable melodic tropes. Driving rhythms propel the musical storm and syncopated phrases fade into the sonic distance slowly evaporating like diffused water droplets.
