2016 fand in santiago de cuba das manana festival statt. es führte zu einem intensiven dialog zwischen vertretern regional-karibischer musiktraditionen und internationalen independent-künstlern aus dem spannungsfeld von dance, avantgarde und jazz. mit der gründung des labels manana wurden vor ort geknüpfte fäden aufgenommen und weitergesponnen. daraus resultierten bereits zwei außergewöhnliche tonträger. -soundspecies & ache meyi- ist der dritte dieser reihe, er fusioniert auf aufsehenerregende weise folk aus kuba mit britischer elektronik. hinter soundspecies verbergen sich zwei als djs und produzenten aktive brüder aus dem englischen dorset. in ihrer musik loten sie die verbindungen zwischen den klängen und formen elektronischer tanzmusik einerseits und den repetitiven mustern von traditionellem folk andererseits aus. die formation ache meyi hat sich hingegen afro-haitianischen rhythmen und stilen wie bembe, vodu, gaga und merengue verschrieben. und das auf eine ziemlich dynamische weise, was angesichts des bandnamens wenig überrascht. die yoruba-begriffe -ache- und -meyi- bedeuten so viel doppelte power.

ariwo ist ein in london beheimatetes, kubanisch-iranisches quartett, das sich darauf konzentriert, die bislang unerforschten zusammenhänge zwischen elektronischer musik, afrokubanischen rhythmen und iranischem mystizismus zum klingen zu bringen. sein selbstbetiteltes debüt erscheint als auf 500 exemplare limitierte doppel-lp mit vier sehr langen und hypnotischen tracks. die platte ist die zweite veröffentlichung des labels manana, das vom !k7-kollektiv in der nachfolge des atemberaubenden kubanischen manana-festivals 2016 gegründet wurde. in den worten der band ist es deren ziel -to connect our native musical traditions to electronic music in a way, that pushes beyond traditional cuban an iranian identity-. denn auf diese weise entstünde ein sound, der keiner spezifischen kultur mehr zugeordnet werden könne. dazu passt es, dass der begriff -ariwo- in der westafrikanischen yoruba-kultur, die im zuge des transatlantischen sklavenhandels auch nach kuba gelangte und dort zu einem einflussreichen faktor wurde, schlicht geräusch bedeutet.

ltd 2017 repress , utopia records is the anticipated new label project by alexander bradley in collaboration with soho record store phonica, set to unearth a diverse range of music, from official re-releases and remastering of obscurities to contemporary and cutting edge club and home listening music.touching on jazz, techno, house, ambient, disco and boogie through to left-field cosmic, balearic soul and rock. the first release comes in the form of an essential ambient japanese house track by legendary producers manabu nagayama and soichi terada. this highly sought after version of low tension originally released on the la ronde ep on bpm records japan in 1991, has been remastered for single release for the first time.

2019 repress! stuttgart based producer detmolt returns to underyourskin records for his second ep, ‘memories’, on the label this year. the ep’s name giving track is a downtempo synth led pleasant fellow accompanying its listener through the different seasons of the year that are reflected by the various changes of chords within the track that still manage to connected each change in harmony. the ep’s second track, ‘madlen’ is also dedicated to the label’s downtempo sound and starts off with an detailed enriched synth before a nodding bass sets in and defines the groove and pace of the track. in the course of the track the catchy synth is loosend and supported by piano chords as well as diverse soundscapes in the same tonality. ‘kaos’ hits off strong with a lead synth that changes within the course of the track and is subbed by different chords in the treble and bass frequencies to spread its atmospheric soundscapes on all possible musical levels. the ep’s last track comes from paul valentin who remixes ‘madlen’. paul’s approach highlights the given synthchords which are worked into dreamy yet fordward going soundscapes that still keep the original’s downtempo vibe but makes you lose your mind higher spheres.
