Pho Beat Bazar embodies the classical atmosphere you breathe in an Asian Market, a jumbled stand where who is patient enough to root around can find the oddest goods.
It's a shared virtual place where different artists come close together through the power of music.

Optimo Music presents “Janara” the new 8 track album from Italy’s José Manuel. We always have our ears open for music that is unique, powerful and that can conjure up a ritualistic atmosphere, and this meistrerwerk does all that, and then some. We knew we had to release it after the first listen.

We'll let José tell you about it....



This album is a result of the necessity of exploring and opening my mind to new musical horizons, by testing the main traditional instrument of the Italian region Campania, whose name is “Tammorra”. It is a big drum, which must not be confused with the typical tambourine, made from a wrap of wood shaped in a circle and covered with dried skin (almost always goatskin or sheepskin). This instrument was used during playful events, especially during rituals and ceremonies, such as the frequent devotional pilgrimages in honour of the Virgin Mary. By using this instrument, the sound, the rite and the magic could take possession of the mind and the body creating a perfect union. Also, the dancers, as if they were bitten by a tarantula and possessed by a strange evil, launched themselves to an uncontrolled dance by moving every part of their body. 


In addition to the Tammorra, I also inserted some texts, which have been written by some Neapolitan friends and interpreted with Neapolitans voices, in honour of the “JANARA”. The Janara represents a popular belief of the Southern Italian regions, particularly of the Benevento area. The Janara is one of the many types of witches represented by folktales belonging to the rural tradition. 

The Janara was expert in medical herbs, which were also be used for her magical practices, such as the manufacturing of ointment. The ointment gave her the power to become incorporeal with the same nature as the wind. According to the tradition, in order to snatch the Janara it was necessary to grab her by the hair. It was also said that if anyone was able to capture the Janara during her incorporeal moment then Janara herself would offer protection to them and their family for seven generations, in exchange for her freedom.   


With this work I hope that the listener might get carried away by the spirit of this pagan and popular legend that can be still be considered as current. As a matter of fact, the folk tales speak of a probable comeback of the Janara, who after being burned at the stake seems to be thirsting for revenge for the evil suffered.

Released on vinyl (and digital) on 30/04/2021. Distributed by Kompakt.

Tune in to Rouge Mécanique mix, recorded for the day organized, planned and curated by Hugo Capablanca of Discos Capablanca for Mutant Radio.

Rouge Mécanique [Discos Capablanca Takeover Vol:1]

She pranced through what she considered the jungle; how could she know any different when this is all she knows. Gigantic structures towered above her, creating shadows in the mid-day sun. Lurking in the darkness, she patiently awaited her pray, using the shadows to hunt. She began to run through the forest of her imagination, the only difference being that this jungle is full of concrete, traffic and consumerism.

Parisian DJ collective, live band and producers Flegon have entrusted Khidja and Androo with the remix duties on their debut EP Extra Twist, released via their own Disques Flegon. Our pick from the Romanian duo Khidja sees them turn closing track ‘Double Play’ into the perfect soundtrack for an alien invasion. Focusing on slowly building tension through the use of dramatic delays, squelchy acid lines, and threatening bass lines creates a sonic narrative of a ferocious extra-terrestrial monster, while the sampled childlike vocals echoing in the background resemble humans being abducted.

PREMIERE: Flegon - Double Play (Khidja Remix) [Disques Flegon]

For the 3rd instalment of Die Orangen’s Saft series on MT, we have invited dear friends Full Circle once again, this time remix- ing the track Krautback off DUO’s album Zwei Orangen.
Joakim & Alexis took a different turn from their proto-no-goa sound, with more than a nod to the late (and sadly missed) mr. Weatherall, and the result is a DUB.
Another duo we are huge fans of, Smagghe & Cross, took the song Zwei and reshaped it into a minimalistic psychedelic tonal symphony, echoing the original song's voices and fx.
On the B-side, after 3 years of working on it, we have finally brought together again the mighty duo Mungolian Jetset to re- work bits and pieces from the whole LP.
Its a midtempo cosmic disco/house banger that keeps on giving. a pure outdoor festival gem...
Last but not least, we are releasing as B2, for the first time on Vinyl, Die Orangen's collaboration with artist Eva Geist ( self-re- leased digitally earlier this year by the ginger boys themselves) ..... A perfect collaboration, bringing out the more sunny side of the D.O. duo......

Exclusive: Steve Pepe - Oltraggiosa Musica (Lamusa II Remix)

With his album Vivere in Diagonale Roman artist Steve Pepe set the bar high for future releases on London label Inside Out Records. A good few months after the release a handful of artists ventured to take on remix duties and provide the orginals with some alternative musical pieces or offer a different access to Steve Pepe's music. Amongst others Tolouse Low Trax, niCo and Hivern Discs-artist Lamusa II took on the task to create venerable musica. The latter delivers, just as the original track title suggests, a percussive, hypnotic, experimental version that includes accentuaded gitarre riffs and an none-alternating chord, which sets the basis for various glitch sounds and resounding drums. All of the beforementioned though is highlighting the omnipresent and catchy vocal, which accompanies the listener through Lamusa II's journey through creative sound compositions. 

Steve Pepe's Vivere in Diagonale Remix EP will be out on Inside Out Records on December 4th, 2020.
