Japanese producers @fetus_music and @dayzero_jp bring their highly anticipated split EP 'Origin' to Tokyo-based label @trekkie-trax, merging their sonic journeys into a 5-track body of work.

'Time Machine' channels the bouncy grooves reminiscent of dembow and UK bass, with a three-dimensional low end that evokes the raw sonic energy cultivated in nightclubs - a track that captures the intimate euphoria of the dancefloor.

Paris-Born, French-Creole artist based in Montpellier, Tom Manzarek has a vast and eclectic sound, inspired by the beat-scene of 2008-2018, English broken-beat, zouk and Jamaican dub.

In 2018 he co-creates Piñata Radio, a online plateform broadcasting artists from south of France and around the world, before starting his own label Plaisance Records in 2021.

Like in his productions, Tom Manzarek (real name Thomas Berthelot) enjoys mixing genres in his DJ sets, from electronic sounds (house, broken-beat, garage, jungle) to more organic ambiances (hi-hop, jazz, zouk, disco, riddims, etc.).
