Our latest release is a 3 track mini compilation in conjunction with the Manchester International Festival as part of their 'Sounds' programme for 2021.

This saw funding given to some of the cities creatives to allow them to continue their creative practices throughout lockdown which for us was the ability to source & mentor a selection of exciting & emerging artists and get their tracks mixed, engineered & to a stage of being released...which we present here!

3 tracks which we feel perfectly captures the diversity of Sprechen...

Léna C. starts things off with Pelago, an exotic slice of afro-esque balearic lovliness which is a perfect extension of her incredible DJ sets & radio shows. A relative newcomer to making music we are super excited to be working with Léna on this leg of her musical journey.

The music making duo of Breakfast In Berlin come up the rear with I Had A Dream About You Last Night' and takes things right to a late 80's Italo disco! Throbbing & pumping in equal measure with an incredible vocal line that is hooky as heck makes this sound like a lost Madonna track from her 'Dress You Up' era.

Reeta closes the party off with Strangers To Lovers, a straight up dance floor pounder which features Breakfast In Berlin's Goux on vocal duty. Like a much more sleazier sibling of a Crazy P record, this ticks all the sweaty basement boxes and will be stuck in your head long after you've vacated said sweat pit.

Support from:

Sean Johnston/Hardway Bros: "Lena track is well balearic!"

Black Hawks Of Panama: "Strangers To Lovers is bursting with Euro energy, one for peak time dancefloor action!"

Hi fi Sean: "Oh this is like that cool Euro record you should be cool enough to know but don't but do now this is ace pop"

Muddy Feet: "All Great!"

Pete herbert: "Léna C is superb!!!"

Ron Jones (Supernature/Your Disco Needs You): "A breath of fresh air. A great Italo Disco-Pop track but totally on the right side of Pop with a great hooky vocal."

This release is individually 300 hand-numbered limited edition. The first 100 copies are pressed on PURPLE vinyl (AR023).
Parma-based singer and songwriter Loreni’s released her synth-pop version in 2020 and here the always charming Mushrooms Project are joined by Deep88 to provide four subterranean reworks. Translated as ‘snow in May’, the song alludes to the confusing and unexpected times through which the world is currently living, and Loreni’s bittersweet vocals offer ample inspiration for the chosen remixers to work their respective magic here. Fellow Parma residents Marco and Girogio unite under their Mushrooms Project banner with three distinct interpretations.
The duo’s work is always immaculately formed, and here they open proceedings with their ‘Disco Maxi Single’ version, where throbbing synth bass and atmospheric waves are joined by crisp machine drums for a pulsating club workout. Their ‘Balearic’ mix finds them in familiar territory as they join Leo Almunia to compose a blissful soundtrack to immersive ocean-side reflections. As the name suggests, their ‘Rave’ version is designed for dubbed out dancefloors, with bass-heavy rhythm and wigged-out effects periodically lifted by dreamy chords and distantly gliding vocals. Finally, Alessandro ‘Deep88’ Pasini arrives with his authentic dream house version, with emotive pads caressing Loreni’s reverb-soaked vocals over a chugging four/four rhythm.

My Friend Dario continues to expand his wondrous musical world with a new collection of characterful cuts that show his broad stylistic range. These are all designed for cultured dance floors as the artist works towards his much-anticipated debut album. 

'Sambatismo' kicks off with nu Balearic breaks that bristle with energy and are peppered with steamy jungle drums. After the spine tingling breakdown a sultry sax comes in to bring the sex next off-balance chords while 'Nature In A Different Planet' takes you to a new sort of tropical world far off in the cosmos, where deep synths, mystic pads and rave-y whistles all bring a new kind of experience. 'Easy Sunday' is loose and elastic mid-tempo house with star-gazing synth craft and pixelated leads that leave you in awe, then 'Carmico' is a killer chugger with sleazy guitar riffs and heavy drum loops taking you on a trip. 

Food for Woofers Volume 1 is another innovative outing for this new school Balearic tastemaker.

Welcome back to the discovery channel with exciting news from the animal world. Follow the heavily transcoastal trail on this 12".  A gamble that paid out with just about 4 people having this in their wantlist on discogs when we listed it. Replaced artwork - original has a cheesy black and white portrait of the maker. Watch out this is the only version to get. The other Remix 12" does not have this version here and is not what you want darling

‘Dos Canas’ is the life-affirming moment where slow majestic throbs of sunrise wrap themselves around layered pads, staccato plucks and floating rhythms. - Mikey Sibson/45-Turns.

Premiere of 'Dos Canas' by Coyote | Buzzard Country

Originally released in Germany in 1986 and without any intro, hence the little edit

Rough translation of the lyrics:

Hello Carl, how are you?
Thank you, I am fine, I’ve just joined a new company which gives me renewed strength,

Staff work like crazy, I bag all the money, just take it easy, let work be work,
Now I’ll fly to Paraguay, bring the millions with me, there I’ll buy a plot of land, I’m a big hit,

I won’t pay no more taxes, that’s just stupid to me, I’ll travel around the world, I won’t lift a finger,

1, 2, 10 workers, me on the career ladder, on first name terms with politicians,
Corruption, corruption, corruption is meant to be a part of it

1, 2, 10 million, the tax authorities will leave me alone because I create jobs and secretly laugh about government subsidies.
