Second album from the danish DJ & producer features 8 club tracks that explores pulse-racing, cartoonish and colourful atmospheres and textures.

On the album you will find classic disco references morphed into ultra vivid sound design and up to date dance bangers. You'll also find threefold narrative bliss boiled into a dance adventure and fresh takes on classic dub techno with clear spy trance references.

Once again Kasper shows his ability to take something well-known, combine it and create something new and fresh yet original with a clear artistic marque.

Freshly delivered by Axces Recordings for your dancing pleasure and next level club experiences.

Artist: Pino Peคa & SAMWHO 
Title: Jacarandas
Label: W133
Release Date: December 8, 2023

To wrap up the year, W133 has put together its second Various Artist release featuring a diverse lineup of emerging and established artists. 

Kicking off the EP is the French producer Monibi, offering a groovy and bass-heavy breakbeat track titled "Mahsa Amini." This track serves as a call to fight for women's rights, not only in Iran but around the world.

On A2, San Francisco-based Kudeki showcases her love for tripped-out Techno with "Cursive." This mesmerizing track, featuring a relentless bassline and a 4/4 kick, creates a spooky atmosphere.

On the flip side, label head Pino Peña teams up with samwho from Rotterdam to deliver a percussive power workout. "Jacarandas," named after the purple trees in CDMX, definitely has those Latin American vibes and rhythms that will get you moving.

For the closer of the EP, speed dembow heavyweight Siu Mata delivers a fast-hitting tribal bomb called "Dubiquity," which takes you on a journey through dramatic pads and spaced-out percussions.

The release is, as always, complemented by pictures taken by analogue photographer Freya Gerz and is available on vinyl with fully printed cover sleeves as well as digitally.

PREMIERE: Pino Peคa & SAMWHO - Jacarandas [W133 Records]

The latest pair of technical fizzers come bowling up to PM+ from the boss himself, shoulder-barging his way between business lunches with a shark-like instinct for what bangs and no quarter given for self-serious techno posturing. 

Fed into the party mainframe directly from the new Aasthma studio he shares with Pär Grindvik in Stockholm, Peder Mannerfelt applies his amped-up digits to exactly the kind of irreverent but brilliantly realised club monster PM+ was built for (with a little help from Grindvik, no less). 

‘Flash My Flip Phone’ hinges on the titular keypad tones as a sort of early 00s update on bleep techno with added doof. As a complementary serving, the ‘Flipped Groove Version’ notches up the steely, loopy mechanics of the track as an ode to kind of techno which moved mountains around the time most folk were flashing their flip phones. It’s a direct adjustment for a more visceral experience, but rest assured both cuts will slay as they order you to make way for the power play, elbows aloft, eyes on the prize.

Bringing the extra-terrestrial jack we love so dearly, Comarca comes spinning into the PM+ orbit with two glittering space rocks on a collision course with the club. There's fierce functionality in the focused sound palette, but we could never settle for conventional fare and the Spanish upstart knows exactly where to tease in the necessary freakiness to get us sweating. 

At the core of Comarca's sound lies his instinct for slowly evolving, disorienting textures to induce slow-release hysteria on the dancefloor. Away from obvious build-up-breakdown dynamics, 'Ben Depressa' is the kind of slithering, plate-shifting techno that takes a locked-in crowd and moves them en masse to the next plain of interconnected, transcendental shockout with devastating poise. 

'Rotula' is equally monumental in its potency, ratcheting down a rock solid groove upon which to tease in the hooks until they're subliminally submerged deep enough in your subconscious to take full control. There's a lyrical quality to the lead synth line which sounds like it's commanding some kind of bacchanal on the edge of the void, and who are we to resist the call?

Fresh, fun, firm and feisty — invite Comarca over the threshold and lay his fiendish wares upon your virtual platter.
