The human rights situation in Russia is becoming more acute each year. We believe that the violation of human rights is unacceptable. With Hand to Hand VA we want to draw public attention to this problem and provide assistance to organizations involved in helping people faced with arbitrariness. We have brought together like-minded musicians who share the ideas of cooperation, freedom and unity.

All proceeds from the VA will be split equally between the Russian human rights organizations: Mediazona (an independent media platform focused on the judiciary, law enforcement and penal system in Russia founded by Pussy Riot members Maria Alyokhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova) and OVD-Info (an independent human rights media project aimed at combating political persecution).

Premiere : Panorama Channel - Natochil Topor [Hand To Hand]

Things had changed significantly when he reached home. The surroundings seemed unrecognisable; the buildings, the streets, the family run businesses — regeneration and gentrification had grasped the town with both hands and stolen its memories. How could just a few years make such a difference? Change was inevitable but this level of unfamiliarity left a sour taste in his mouth. What once belonged to him and every other inhabitant of this community had been snatched away.

Hot on the heels of their EP with Ninja Exotic Machine and Yeho, Bergamo imprint Pho Bho draft in six producers for a various artist release. 'Inverted Echoes' captures different strains of music for the dance floor, from bass-driven excursions to cosmic rhythms and downtempo cuts. Our pick from Lithuania-based Russian Pletnev, AKA Ponty Mython, closes out the A-side and flaunts his singular take on sequenced math beat laced with his deadpan vocals.

PREMIERE: Pletnev - Ti Ne Pravilno Menja Ponyal [Pho Bho Records]

B1. I Wandt To Believe

After a splendid, sought after 12” on Pyramids Of Mars, an already expensive edits split Ep with Red Axes on Edit Service and his highly original and acclaimed self released debut album “Don’t touch my sister” Rouge Mecanique delivers a stone cold classic Ep for Discos Capablanca. The psychedelic steady muscle of ‘All Will Be Changed’ aims to destroy visionary dance floors. ‘Sans Scrupules’ is the most surprising acid banger you will likely hear this year. ‘Ampedusa / Xaver’ defies description and its mutant sound could evoque ecstatic early minimal house references, kraut and concrete music. ‘Can I say’ is simply put the most elegant, languid way to say goodbye to an Ep that exudes sheer brilliance and character. Timeless applies here.

Housed in hand silkscreened sleeves with art by Capablanca, hand stamped edition of 300.

A1. Rouge Mecanique - All Will Be Changed

Tassilo Vanhöfen - Matama Irriqula

HLM38 at the controls under his "General P.D.C" guise. He's still exploring diverse and forward thinking dub music. Coming with deep exotica vibe and sharp Uk 90's chopped up break.
Beesmunt Soundsytem version on the flip takes the tempo up. David and Luigi are serving a little more upfront style remix. Thunderous and infectious vibes mixed with rolling breakbeat making the track as addictive as it is effective.

3 - Sunju Hargun - Andante - 94.4 BPM

5 outstanding edits by the one and only auratekh, an internationally recognized purveyor of the finest trance-inducing sounds and images.

The Earth Question opens the EP and is an invitation for bodies to get in motion and minds to seek elevation. 

The Silence is an anthem that revisits an iconic 80's hit and a reminder of the deep links between new wave and Goa. 

Pan's Domain is one of those chuggers that might cause flashbacks of the highest order. 

Blue Pilot Light is a deep and trippy groover for all your abyss rave needs. 

Traveller is a forward-thinking number, fit for vertical ascent and celestial navigation. 

Per the artist's request, his proceeds from sales of this EP will be donated to IWGIA - International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs - a global human rights organisation that promotes recognition and implementation of the rights of Indigenous Peoples around the world.

River Yarra - 2D Electric Mushroom

Being long time fans of the late Andrew Weatherall just like us here at MT, Full Circle approached a 2nd remix project to Die Orangen with a new angle, an hommage to A.W. 
The result is a dirty dubby banger of a remix to Die Orangen's KRAUTBACK track out of their sophomore LP Zwei Orangen out in 2019 on Malka Tuti.
