makam with a taste of things to come as he flips the sound pallete for his latest 12- on dekmantel. housed in a plastic outer sleeve with postcard insert. tip! dekmantel say- we re rubbing our hands together gleefully for this one: longtime family member makam will return to dkmntl records with a full-length album later this year. guy blanken s ongoing search for new sounds, textures and rhythms has lead him to than sadet, a stunning piece of work that’s like nothing you ve heard from the the hague based producer before. we have known this ultra-talented chap for years, but it’s fair to say than sadet is his most impressive and distinctive work to date. this sampler is a sneak peek into what is about to be an absolute label highlight, a prelude to the new makam sound. riding high is a lush, isolee-esque lengthy house jam, and the blissful ambient ride backed up by tropical birds than sadet gives more insight into the new territories blanken has been digging into. you ain t heard nothin yet. -

studio is benny’s 5th studio album. not just casually called by its name. no, there is something else happening here. the word ‘studio’ originates from the latin word ‘studium’, which stands for ‘studying’. the studio is the place where painters, artists and musicians learn, study and create. it’s the place where benny is most comfortable. benny’s amsterdam based studio has an amazing view of the canals. studio is an ode to this place, which he built 4 years ago, and everything it has brought him. because it brought him more than just the music he produced there. it gave him his place in the world and with it so many other things. all of which is to be heard on his new album. you find him exposing true love, follow his search for a home, he opens up about settling down and he speaks of breaking through old patterns in which he found himself being stuck for years.

amtk002 follows up the debut release with 4 more hypnotic cuts, taking a slightly more melodic approach to the ep with an ambient intro tool useful for set openers.
