A3k349 Funkysip - 1 February 2022

Introducing the fifth episode of Aquatic Gardens, we're very happy to host one of the closest RPU friends, Dutch born but raised & based in Barcelona, FARDOE https://soundcloud.com/fardoebenz who performs a beautiful vinyl only set. It's time to let her drive you through some dubtechno, deep house and minimal, from which shines such great energy to warm up for the weekend.

FARDOE is an amazingly talented DJ who we had the pleasure to (not so accidentally) host for the first time back in 2020, in one of our most especial (and successful) raves in the outskirts of Amsterdam. She can be found in Barcelona's best record shops playing from time to time, always under her own name.

As good & old friends of her, we couldn't wait to have Fardoe as our main host today and we're delighted to be able to finally add her to the Aquatic Gardens contributors. A sweet & beautiful music selection for you all to enjoy.

Also, as a little extra we'd like to share with you the recording of the 2020 rave she participated to: https://soundcloud.com/fardoebenz/amsrave08082020?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

Over the last two years, Percebes sought to upgrade public perception of locally created electronic and urban music by placing it along international producers, in a compilation series of two volumes called Produto Interno Bruto (PIB) - portuguese for “Gross Domestic Product”.

Released digitally (first on the label’s Bandcamp page and later on all online platforms), these showed the outside world not only what Lisbon based artists are about but also how they can fit in a wider picture. The compilations also helped to deconstruct a narrative that isn’t particularly accurate about electronic / dance / urban music made in Lisbon in international circles. In fact, PIB offers an alternative- perhaps more tangible - perspective on who and what you can actually listen to when going out at night in Portugal. Well, at least partly (it was never meant to be a definitive document).

The label was later able to cut a functional collection of tracks compiled from both volumes onto glorious wax... and here we are! Pure portuguese underground talent sided with tracks from our closest friends in the international scene. The double LP collects tracks chosen by myself  from volumes I and II of PIB and also adds a little extra by including a bonus vinyl exclusive by Cyclonix. For practical reasons, it was impossible to include all 22 tracks of both volumes on this vinyl, but it’s still possible to appreciate every artist featured by finding the download codes inside and get a full digital PIB pack (with all 22 tracks, plus a bonus release). 

We’re doing out part to provide you with a pristine sounding, powerful, useful and varied compilation that you can carry in your record bag for all sorts of situations - and also to fill up your USB sticks, phones and laptops with much more content for a reasonable price.
 
Knowledge, attitude, freedom of format, and quality over quantity. This is what we are about: Djs, producers and engineers who love great music, more than people obsessed with labelling things!

Various - Produto Interno Bruto - 2x12" (PRCBS011)

Highly recommended! Already in the bag of Dj Zip, Ricardo Villalobos.
Protectorate is The Analogue Cops’ project dedicated to their dance floor oriented minimalistic electro output with subtle 90s house influences and luxury beats, whose music has been release on their self named label in the late 2000 and just before the pandemic on Binh’s label Time Passages and on 3no.
On the 25th release of their label Restoration (after 15 years of its foundation), the original trippy “Someone Else” comes with a mesmerising  chicagoic heavy shuffled remix by dj Fett Burger. On the B side, the sophisticated beats and the classy arpeggios  layered over the gloomy  “Amazon Crime” comes together with the first track produced by Francesco del Garda and The Analogue Cops’; “Good Breath” (edited by Del Garda) is the state of the art of years spent behind the decks looking for the perfect combination of garage bass lines, eccentric beats and esoteric pads.
Don’t miss “McAfee’s Revenge!”, only 300 copies were pressed…and nobody really knows what happened to John McAfee!
