die italo-britin francesca lombardo präsentiert mit -life of leaf- ihr debütalbum, auf dem sie sich vom dancefloor-sound ihrer eps auf crosstown rebels, mobilee, leftroom, poker flat oder bedrock und ihren dj-gigs auf festivals wie tomorrowland, burning man oder circoloco entfernt, und sich ihren klassischen einflüssen nähert. so entsteht ein überaus überzeugendes listening-werk auf softem electro-pop voller verträumter soundkulissen, rührender melodien und hypnotischer rhythmen, das den moment überlebt.

echolette proudly presents its stunning debut release,
* you gonna dream - feat. byron stingily*, from french producer who and the vocal from byron stingily itself of his *it’s over* released on nervous records 1998. the wonderful tracks comes in two distinct versions: the first mix works off skipping percussion, a warm round sub bassline and uplifting vocals full of hope, love and joy. on the flip the * club mix* adds a tougher edge, taking us straight on to the dance floor of a new york basement club circa 1994, while the vocal (feat byron stingily from nervous record) keeps the bright and upbeat.

echolettes second release manzanillo 002, follows up with a similar tropical -journey feeling- as felt on echolettes first release, perhaps setting the style for this excellent new label. whereas before it was pygmys and bongos, this time manzanillo has a distinctly more mexican, if not aztec vibe. the original mix kicks off with steady galloping horse like drums and percussion, which is suddenly met by a lovely melodic bassline, which again is doubled up with what sounds like a xylophone. just as your wondering where its all going, a wicked little riff with delayed minimal vocal slices enter the mix keeping the groove going on and on forever and ever... another brilliant and quality piece of music from jackie misfit
