We are very excited to present this collaboration between our Spanish Berlin-based brothers Kyodai and Daudi Matsiko.
Daudi Matsiko makes Bleakfolk - uplifting folk songs. With roots in Uganda and the UK, Daudi’s love affair with music began at the tender age of 8, and began to flourish during his teenage years when he put pen to paper and began to write his own material. A crucial part of his existence, music has served as a therapeutic outlet, comforting him through the troubles life has thrown his way, and has led to the development of his sincere and heartfelt musical style. His self released songs are inspired by a range of classic talent, the influence of Nick Drake, Jeff Buckley and even The Beach Boys can be heard throughout. His music has been playlisted by Gilles Peterson and Best Of British Unsigned mentioned him as One To Watch In 2016. 

Kyodai met Daudi in Turkey at Sunsplash Music Festival and were blown away by his music and talent. The rest is history. Daudi and Kyodai teamed up for a journey into electronica - folk - indie and house. 

Kyodai released on various labels such as Freerange, Pokerflat, Compost, Local Talk, Dirt Crew and Exploited in the past - to mention a few. Their music has been supported from heavy weights such as Masters At Work, Laurent Garnier, Jimpster and Gilles Peterson. In 2013 they released ‘Music Rises Up’ feat. Stee Downes on Exploited - a song they introduced in their Boilerroom Set back then.
2014 saw their more dark follow-up ‘Sound Of The Falls’. 2016 they are back on Exploited with ‘Houston In The Blind’. 

'Born into a household steeped in Jazz, they picked up instruments very early, first off piano, then percussion, bassoon and double bass. As such, their house music is more like live music - all played, no samples. "When we travel and meet these young guys, they think we're sampling everything. They're saying, 'Where did you find that piano?' No, we are recording it, " adds Luis. 
Their first electronic incarnation was in the late '90s as a live techno outfit called Way Out. They supported the likes of Claude Young and Luke Slater, but never released a record, only making live studio and club recordings. It was when they formed the outfit Wagon Cookin' at the turn of the Millennium that things ramped up. Sawg's Chris Duckenfield urged them to release material on his Odori label, and they also recorded for Munich's eminent Compost and their own imprint, Appetizers. 
They released four albums in all as Wagon Cookin', but having made musical connections with Jimpster from Freerange, a new project they were mulling took over. At first, they kept the identity of Kyodai a closely-guarded secret. They even managed to fool Gilles Peterson, long a fan of Wagon Cookin'. He played their first new tracks on his Radio1 show, believing them to be from an unknown Japanese producer (Kyodai is Japanese for 'brothers').' (DJMAG)

Exploited Label Boss Shir Khan was after Kyodai for more than 2 years trying to meet the persons behind this secret project around that time. In late 2012 they were finally introduced to each other via Daniel Best (Best Works/Sonarkollektiv) at Watergate Berlin and since then became friends.

Da Funk - Ruffle Up (Subsky Remix)

My Favorite Robot Records is proud to welcome a new talent to the ranks for a first solo
EP entitled ‘End of a Chapter’. That man is German producer H.O.S.H. and he comes
up with a trio of tantalising tech tracks that add another dimension to the label’s sound
whilst staying true to its passion for sublime synths and unusual grooves.
H.O.S.H. is Hamburg’s Holger Behn, an artist who has spent much of his career
releasing EPs and LPs on Diynamic, the label he helped make famous alongside close
friend Stimming and boss man Solomun. His fresh sound, which tangles between
techno and house, has taken him all over the world, to DJ residencies at various places
in Ibiza and festivals big and small on just about every continent.
Up first here is the colourful and cosmic main room bomb that is ‘Meloman.’ With
twinkling keys and sweeping pads it is a truly expansive affair that has infectious drums
at its heart.
The excellent ‘Aire’ has big drums and snaking shakers, scraping perc sounds and
majestic, wildly repetitive melodies exploding throughout. It is celebratory and euphoric,
expertly programmed and finished with real style and will mark the high point of any set.
Last but not least is ‘Libre,’ which is eight and a half minutes of wonky beats and
pixelated synths, rippling chords and brightly coloured neon melodies that fire every
synapse in your body. It is another adventurous and explosive track that is full of fun
and craziness right in time for the upcoming festival season.
This is a top trio of tracks that is as colourful and stuffed with musicality as you could
imagine.

Nora En Pure - Zambia (Radio Mix)

We live at a time when distractions from reality are never further away than our fingertips. Our phones offer us unlimited stimulation and temporary comfort. The possibilities of technology are endless, but they also limit the possibility…the possibility to truly experience and submit to the moment.

For me, going to a club has always been about letting go of the world around me, like a vacation from the nagging realities of everyday life. In the best clubs I have been to, the people were united by a desire to experience electronic music in the purest sense; to get lost in its tension and release. No matter what was going on in their lives, it was a place where, for at least a few hours, nothing else mattered but the sheer power music had to bring people joy. And those experiences - held only by those in that room, at that moment - were almost like the reward to submitting to a secret society. At the end of the night, I could look at my friends, old and new, and without saying a single word, we'd know that what we experienced together was something special, something that would never quite be repeated again.

Some of my early clubbing experiences have stayed with me for my entire life. They are why I'm doing what I'm doing today. There is not a photo, forum thread or social media post in existence to mark their happening, but the memories, the emotions I felt, the way those nights changed my life - those things stay with me to this day.

Somewhere along the way, we as a society have lost the ability to experience those special moments. On the rare occasion that they do happen, we scramble to grab our phones in time to capture them - but those moments cannot be truly captured - and they don’t need to be broadcasted or recorded. Sometimes, the best thing we can do is fully appreciate what is happening in that room, at that moment, with those people around us. 

I think our society needs clubbing experiences where they go home with more than just a picture to post on instagram. That's why I'm starting This Never Happened - I want to create that experience for people.

At This Never Happened, we invite you into a space where the only thing that matters are the people in that room, the music and the magic that happens when those things interact. An event where the dancefloor will be a phone and photo-free space.

This experience we share together may, by 2016 standards, have never happened. But those who dare will always know - something special did happen here. 

The first show will be a return to my hometown of San Francisco on 3 June at Mezzanine. It's a venue I've dreamed of headlining for many years and the perfect place to start this new chapter. If we can make this happen - and work - together, there will be many, many more. 

This Never Happened will not just be the name of these events, but also the name of a new record label. This label will be the outlet for music, by me, that is inspired by and made for this experience. The first song I'm releasing is called "Fingerprint" and you can listen to it below.

Putting this project together with my team over the last 6 months triggered a creative spark in me unlike anything I've ever felt before, and I'm so excited for you guys to hear the music I've come up with during that time.

I look forward to building this concept with you :)

Love,
Daniel

Mike Griego 'Idioglossia', forthcoming as part of the 'Idioglossia EP'.

Follow Mike Griego: @mikegriego

Partial Press Release: The 44th release on microCastle welcomes Mike Griego to the label for his debut EP. The Argentinean artist closed out 2015 with a remix of Hernan Cattaneo & Guy Mantzur's 'Imaginarium'. That strong momentum continued as 2016 began with his much loved 'Sofia' production being licensed to John Digweed's 'Live In Montreal' mix compilation, released on Bedrock in February of this year. Mike has long been and remains one of his country's most in demand DJs, making regular appearances at Bahrein, La Boite and The Bow. Now presenting his first new productions of 2016 Mike makes his long awaited debut on microCastle with the 'Idioglossia EP', alongside remixes from BOg and Hermanez.

The EP begins with the title cut, which like many of Mike's productions has become a secret weapon for both Hernan Cattaneo and Guy Mantzur. Another track shrouded in mystery since autumn of last year, both Hernan and Guy have been highlighting their sets with its infectious energy. Hernan loved the production so much in fact he requested a special intro version to open Creamfields, Buenos Aires with in November of last year. It's distinctive grooves became immediately recognizable and a break of melodious, meditative energy ultimately seals it's brilliance. Like many great productions it came from somewhere close to the heart, as Mike describes, "I wasn't feeling good because of some family issues, and I just felt the urge to get into the studio and make music. You have to be quick to recognize these atypical moments and make the most of them. With 'Idioglossia' I was looking for the perfect balance between groove and melody, making people dance but also taking them on a trip."

Berlin’s Ryan Davis has carved out a niche all of his own over the past 10 years, releasing exquisite melodic techno and electronica on revered labels Bedrock, Traum, and his own Klangwelt label. Along the way he’s been championed by Sasha, Stephan Bodzin, Hernan Cattaneo and John Digweed, and collaborated with Max Cooper and Applescal. The ‘From Within EP’ marks his first original release on Anjunadeep following memorable remixes of Andrew Bayer and Olafur Arnalds.

The cinematic ‘Paper Rockets’ begins the EP in subtle fashion, showcasing Ryan’s talent for intricate production and mellow moods. ‘Brun’ a stand-out from last year’s ‘Anjunadeep 07’ compilation has the hallmarks of an Anjunadeep classic, combining club-ready sounds with emotional melodies that tug at the heart-strings.

‘Crawne’ takes things deeper and darker, blending a chugging slo-mo groove with spacey atmospherics. Ryan takes things full techno on ‘Undine’ a peak-time cut laced with dystopian soundscape and driving drums. We return to cinematic ambience on EP closer ‘Beyar’, a stunning slice of deft melodies and vivid celestial samples.

German mainstay Kölsch has had a thunderous few years , fully establishing himself as a worldwide force to be reckoned with. His piano-drenched techno has been slaying sound-systems the world over and even after two incredible albums via Kompakt, we reckon the best is still yet to come. 

His remix of 'Trouble At The Séance' is deep, dark and full of lazer-beam synths that zip in-and-out of focus. Not much can be said about this one other than it's an absolute stormer and it's going to do some serious damage this summer.
