The quartet from France are a steady fixture in the world of modern digging. Colin, Guillaume, Romain and Xavier originally met in Marseille but are now all based in Paris where they very successfully continue their hunt for the unknown (seldom above the 110 BPM mark). 

The now-Parisian taste-makers do not only have one of the most excellently curated Youtube Channels out there, they recently also proved that they are very capable Editors themselves on the most recent (and excellently curated) Orange Tree Edits (Vol. 8). 

For 5918mins., they provide nothing short of a masterclass of modern digging - which left us astonished and (dare we say it) even a bit envious given the sheer endless amount of unknown treasures comprised in this mix. So without further ado, let's dive right into 111 mins. of pure digging pleasure.

Each year, we ask a few artists from our Dekmantel Selectors line-up to deliver a mix in anticipation of the new edition. First up in this year’s series is Garage Noord resident and LYL radio show host @merelrhizoom. As a proper connoisseur of modular synth tracks and avant-garde compositions, merel rhizoom tends to navigate the musical stratosphere between what one could refer to as “weird psybient”, hypnotic jungle, trance downtempo or industrial breaks with implausible ease in her selections.

The mix at hand makes a good case for doing what feels right: merel rhizoom told us that she “initially was very tempted to make a more dance-oriented mix”, but then decided to go into a different direction: “focussing on (modular) synthesis of veterans such as Max Loderbauer, Robert Aiki Low, Andreas Tilliander and Driftmachine, while on the other hand including more avant-garde compositions by Jon Hassell, Oren Ambarchi, Upperground Orchestra and others”. What already sounds good on paper, has turned out to be a mesmerizing and thoroughly mind-altering listening session – enjoy it with your eyes closed and mind open.

Vladimir Ivkovic' Offen Music invites graphic T-shirt brand Turbo Island a.k.a. Turby. 

"Turbo Island is my happy place. Everything is colourful. But behind the big yellow grin lies a confusing relationship with music. I only ever really really really fall for music that could (possibly) be made by people that are (perhaps) a bit LIKE ME. I have to be able to vaguely imagine myself and old school friends playing all the instruments (I don’t know how to play any instruments). 

This has often limited my absolute enjoyment to lo-fi, self-taught, English speaking, sloppy, nonsensical, awkward stuff. When I hear phrases in the wild like “great production” and “fantastic voice”, I shrug. I struggle to relate to those things. They're out of my reach. So I’ve tried to be myself with this mix. These are akin to the voices in my head, sometimes they are annoying but sometimes they are warm and inviting.

There's a few songs about Jesus in there too (I have no explanation for this)."

Last school year was a special one at Can CANELA! We made it to a decade, and despite the fact that we've been working tirelessly behind the scenes since the pandemic (right now we have 2 test pressings at home...), we were able to celebrate our 10th anniversary in two of the clubs where we've enjoyed the most during all these years the simple but oh so comforting act of sharing records with people: Café Berlín in our beloved Madrid, and LAUT in what is and will always be our home, Barcelona.

The truth is that we aren't people who like to celebrate our birthdays in a big way, but when it comes to Canela En Surco, it's a different story. It may sound cliché, but the fact is you don't celebrate 10 years every day, and so we wanted to offer a gift to the attendees that would commemorate this day forever.

The gift came in the form of a one-hour mix recorded back to back by our favorite Yorugua Maxi Arrieri aka Fatal with Canela director Breixo Martínez, self-released in a limited run of 50 cassette copies, featuring design by Fatal aka Maxxximiliano himself and an illustration by one of our favorite artists, Martín Funcasta. We gave away the tapes to the first ones to arrive that night at LAUT, as well as to the staff and some friends who have greatly helped us on this path.

Drone, Folk, an unreleased song by Ivy Barkakati, Industrial music, a song that sounds like Sumo but is NOT, oh, and of course a lot of opiates,...

Our funds only permitted this limited run, we would have liked to make more but the idea was that nobody had to pay for a copy (we wanted to give back a little of what people have given us over the years). Many friends have been writing to us to see if we had any copies of the cassette or if we could send them the audio of the mix instead, so we finally decided to upload it to our website for the personal consumption of those who want it.

QUE EL SURCO OS ACOMPAÑE SIEMPRE!
MAY THE GROOVE BE WITH YOU FOREVER!

P.S. Unfortunately for the night at Café Berlín we weren't able to deliver a gift in time (something that we will never forgive ourselves for but that we will try to solve in the future).

After one year hiatus we're once again back on home-recordings-track. This time with a mellow housy selection by our very own @philipp-markovich 
Enjoy!

LOWJOB#19: Philipp Markovich

For our second weekly installment during the COVID-19 pandemic, we are happy to present a mix by French legend Sacha Mambo. Class-A DJ and digger for over two decades, Sacha's speciality lies with creating narratives. He is certainly one of those few acts that can keep you on the dance floor for hours and hours on end, drawing you into their vision until the end. Very few DJs today are as experienced and good as Sacha.

Far from "just" a DJ, however, Sacha is also capo at the well received "Macadam Mambo" imprint, with recent contributions by the infamous Pilotwings, Raphael Top Secret and many other staple acts of the French and International underground music scene. 

For 5918mins., el capo presents a selection of infectious oddball obscurities that leaves us thinking maybe we should have asked him for a 6-hour mix. We hope everyone is keeping well!
