NICK LEÓN X CHUCKY73 - AHI EDIT

MARIA AMOR - INNER CHILD

For the first release of the year, Manchester-based imprint Club Romantico is set to team up with Manuka Honey for her label debut. The two-track release ‘Machete/777’ is set to release on the 3rd of March and includes collaborations with label founder Florentino and La Favi. 

Born out of a breakup, the release captures the feeling of revenge and the rage of women as Manuka Honey reclaims the tropes of Latina women being sexualised and vilified as aggressive. "It’s a reflection on revenge and protection. The ways they go hand in hand, and how catharsis can manifest sonically. Rage is the haunting yet clear emotion that ties these tracks together,” says Manuka Honey. ‘Machete’, in collaboration with Florentino, sees Manuka Honey use her voice for the first time. On the flip, ‘777’ is a dramatic team up with Latin Grammy award winner La Favi. 

‘Machete/777’ is the beginning of a busy year for Manuka Honey who will be embarking on a Machete tour from the 23rd February, traveling across Asia, before a string of summer festival dates including REWIRE, Sonar and Melt Festival.

Following on from a ferocious start to the year with “Machete / 777”, Club Romantico steps into fine form with the labels head honchos first official solo release in almost 4 years. Florentino has been hinting at a new sound for a long while now & its clearest manifestation arrives on the 28th of April in the shape of ‘Xcuse Me / Loka”.

Florentino brings some of the influences from his youth to the forefront here - with his father heavily involved in the Manchester acid house scene & his mother, with her own in-depth knowledge of different strands of latin dance music, also working in Manchesters club scene after first emigrating from Bogotá - the sounds of Madchester, an era gone by, echo equally alongside the sounds of early Nurican / Latin house here.

The artist manifests these sounds in a somewhat freaked manner, mischievous & seductive in equal parts, ‘Xcuse Me’ channels runway energy with cries to push the decibel levels further & further only for the listener to be told “Tu no sabes lo que hay aqui” . On the flip, Loka wears its Latin house influence on its sleeve, running through what feels like a million vocal chops of old Nurican records - only to be destroyed through the lense of skeletal Dembow & Guaracha with a structure that feels somewhat like a club mega-mix. Both are drum workouts with a twist, confident in their execution & unruly in nature.

Stream/Download BJF | Pressure 🔗 orcd.co/bjf-pressure

Pressure is the third EP from Parisian DJ and producer BJF (@djbjf). It follows Iridescent and Uprooted, released in 2020 and 2022. A key member of the collective, label, and media Couvre x Chefs, BJF has released original tracks on several record labels (Lowup, Egregore, XXIII, Sacrilejio Records, Météo ) and a bunch of thoughtful edits. His productions have been played on Boiler Room, NTS, Rinse FM, Rinse France, Hör, BBC, Reprezent, etc.

Just months after the acclaimed Uprooted, BJF is back on the label arm of Couvre x Chefs with an explosive three-track EP ready to sweat clubs and shake festivals. Entitled Pressure, this one reinforces the style of BJF which he refines release after release: resolutely club percussive titles, punctuated with characteristic ad-libs, increasingly (re)worked vocals, and sharp melodies. On the percussion side, the producer from Greater Paris finely selects cuts with precision and reassembles to the millimeter the most boiling rhythms from the four corners of the planet. The result is by nature unclassifiable - post club, hybrid club, or global club - but promises to make everyone agree on the dancefloors of Melbourne to Saõ Paulo via Paris or Berlin.
