including remixes from alejandro mosso, david-k and voigtmann.

ricardo villalobos remixes deardrum from alejandro mosso s album isolation diaries recently released on third ear. villalobos worked up a 40 minute jam from which this is a 9 minute section which moves from a gentle pattering of sounds into a full-on villalobos groove, taught and slinky at the same time, i.e. irresistibly funky. the jam then subsides into chattering noises before the groove begins again. burnt friedman s remix of isolation diaries is a slow burning super funky jam with classic burnt friedman dub elements laced through the track together with the melody twisted and phased. the closing track from the album, mounivers, completes this fine release.

isolation diaries is argentinian producer alejandro mosso s 2nd album. it comes more than ten years after his debut, hiperborea in 2005. he says i think the album is warm, emotive and nostalgic but not dark nor sad. it is percussive and melodic but not laid back and balearic. it is tribal and organic but still very precise, as only electronic music can be. the grooves are strong and infectious and the sounds are rich and satisfying, resulting in music that sounds very organic and unpremeditated. the album is accompanied by a burnt freidman remix of the track isolation diaries, and a ricardo villalobos remix of deardrum.

after a decade releasing club-savvy music, argentinian producer alejandro mosso has lately approached a richer and more profound sound.

summer deal! these two titles in the label’s catalogue carefully thread different periods in mosso’s evolution, showing the continuity of that personal sound defined by precise crafted percussions and playful melodies, appealing to the mind, body and soul. ! kander on the a side immediately sets the club pace with a rolling rhythm that serves as foundation for that classic mosso combination of riffs and counterpoints that build tension thru the song bringing it to an emotional peak before quickly stripping down back to the basics. the beat gently goes on, asking for the next ride of excitement. ! tikjda on the b side shows a similar beat, but we soon discover a completely different mood and tone. the percussions go darker, the meandering melodies become unstable and the timbres get nostalgic. a complex balance of north african drums, orchestra winds and drifting synths, build a song that proves as challenging to access as rewarding for those who give in and immerse themselves.

nice price deal !!! after a year of silence, the mosso imprint returns with a new record charged with perfectly crafted percussions, hypnotic basses and the unmistakable mosso rhythms. 2014 was a calm and introspective year for alejandro, who spent the most part of it writing a soon to see the light album and a series of singles for 2015. ! the catalogue 006 is a blunt call to your feet and basic impulses. it awakens your deepest nomad nature and puts you in movement for the next adventure. ! the a side opens the record and immediately pushes you into the water flow of the dobagan river from where it takes its name. meandering melodies carried by rolling waves, so vigorous that it feels impossible to escape, driving you until the very end of the stream. a sound journey thru north argentinian landscapes. ! formosa on the b side, pulls you against the tide in a slower but not less seductive manner. a laid-back pace of precisely tailored congas opens up the way to a drifting pad filled with tension, slowly swallowing you into an unknown territory. it feels exotic and unexplored, yet so undeniably pleasant.

nice price deal !!! the very first release of the new >somos< imprint curated by alejandro mosso. a label intended to enlarge the family and serve as a platform for related artists who share similar aesthetics. expanding the mosso label manifesto into a larger community. ! joachim holm, a young talented and skilled producer from trondheim (norway), wrote some unique and mesmerising wooden melodies which became the foundations of these two songs. alejandro added some extra production and a beautiful record came to life. ! tre rytme, the rhythmic version, focuses on the main melodic motif while adding an intense and pulsating beat. morphing slowly but firmly into a club burner. a spring optimistic piece ready to add a spark of life into any dancefloor. ! tre melodi is the soft and mellow version. a 12 minutes ride of polyrythmic, repetitive and hypnotic riffs, recalling american classic minimalism in an innocent and playful manner. take the time to listen until the end, it promises to be a comforting experience.

out of the ordinary is a celebration of strangeness. not the outer-worldly strange inventions of our minds, but the kind of strangeness we come across in our every day lives, hidden in the little details.

the mosso imprint presents the newest addition to its catalogue. the fifth episode of the series features two newly picked, slow-­&#8208,,,,,,burning numbers. reporting alejandro mossos further travels on the fine lines drawn between awakened reverie and inspirited groove, this new record could also be considered as an adroit demonstration on how to preserve delicacy in splendor. as >islote< was slowly taking its final shape in the few weeks preceding the records mastering, alejandro mosso decided to pull. >arrecife< out from his unfinished archives. it is a beautifully stern and steely work, presenting the slow development of the main lead, giving it space to gradually appear from the fine selection of uncanny percussions and steadily met by its accentuated twin. a damper invitation to look within. on the flip, >islote< begins with a selection of colourful drums, not unfamiliar to mossos usual escapades. however, spreading itself like a most complex delicacy, the apparent sweetness of this distinctive title soon gives way to a rugged melody. conveying a sharp yet cloudy feeling, this b-­&#8208,,,,,,side is located somewhere in the middle of a soft longing and bluesy bliss. mosso places the listener into the near isolation of an island, that is still anchored to its continent. needless to say, his magic is once again well at work.the mosso imprint presents the newest addition to its catalogue. the fifth episode of the series features two newly picked, slow-­&#8208,,,,,,burning numbers. reporting alejandro mossos further travels on the fine lines drawn between awakened reverie and inspirited groove, this new record could also be considered as an adroit demonstration on how to preserve delicacy in splendor. as >islote< was slowly taking its final shape in the few weeks preceding the records mastering, alejandro mosso decided to pull. >arrecife< out from his unfinished archives. it is a beautifully stern and steely work, presenting the slow development of the main lead, giving it space to gradually appear from the fine selection of uncanny percussions and steadily met by its accentuated twin. a damper invitation to look within. on the flip, >islote< begins with a selection of colourful drums, not unfamiliar to mossos usual escapades. however, spreading itself like a most complex delicacy, the apparent sweetness of this distinctive title soon gives way to a rugged melody. conveying a sharp yet cloudy feeling, this b-­&#8208,,,,,,side is located somewhere in the middle of a soft longing and bluesy bliss. mosso places the listener into the near isolation of an island, that is still anchored to its continent. needless to say, his magic is once again well at work.

the titles present on mosso004 both simultaneously develop the different, yet ever so complimentary, aspects of alejandros production. on one hand, his signature rhythmics make for some all important body fodder, while his honed synth programation gives way to the most reflective moments. some traits that are always recognizable in his live performance as well...

slamming minimal prime time action, incl losoul remix on the flipside

for their anniversary release meander present a diverse and exceptional record. celebrating with an exquisite family compilation from the labels core artists.

this third outing expands further the mosso musical range, presenting alejandro mosso in some of his most rhythmic and yet, dreamiest atmospheres. unlike mosso002, which got the producer to hunt in his forgotten documents, both airs present on this record have been impetuously developed over the last few months. on the a-side, pleamar is a driving number which boots with a hypnotic metallophone pattern, slowly giving way into a electro (rga)nic piano fest, which in turn twists itself into bent, crushed and perverted synth whistles. this a-side has been designed keeping the lower half of the body in mind, offering full waves of joy and jubilation! now that you are grounded enough, how about flipping that record and meeting us on bajamar - low tide, litterally. on the shores of this b-side is where a wonderful landscape of shimmering spray and glistening stars await you. here again alejandros ability to bring together biotic and mechanic in a homogeneous unity is best revealed. in a magical tour de force, bajamar sends tingles from the base of your heels, up and all along your spine, into your crown, triggering instant wonder, reveries and realisations.

the second edition of the mosso series adheres to its archetypal plan, as alejandro mosso leads us forwards on his musical trek and through the grooves carved onto this record. for this new number, alejandro mosso decided to delve back into his archives and take a closer listen to some forgotten, unfinished pieces. some listeners will surely recognise certain bits of this record as they were part of mossos live performance years ago. this is however the first time they will be edited and see the light of day. on the a-side, aconcagua is a festive theme on which a magnetic marimba riff turns into an escalating melody, surrounded by a forest of ascending percussions - characteristic of mossos production – lightly floating around it. cashmere, the flip, was conceived while airborne on a flying carpet, half way above the indian subcontinent and below the countles gleaming stars. perfect instance of alejandro mossos talent, it is a subtle blend of hovering winds and crystallized textures. the bansuri flute and the clave go hand in hand to form reassuring horizons, the soundtrack for a longer moment of hope, greater perspective and spiritual transformation.

mosso is an intimate project, born out of the natural desire to present ones work in ones own home. it is a private space in which the artist picks and displays his own favored pieces, enabling an unconstrained and harmonious blend to unfold.alejandro grew up in mendoza, argentina, and has been producing electronic music for over 10 years. following the use of various aliases, funzion being the most celebrated one, he decided to pursue his experiments under his real name. this was a simple decision, made possible through his creation becoming the honest rendition of his very inspiration. alejandro mossos music is the humble exploration of the ample musical heritage our planet has to offer, side by side with an ever-expanding and personal definition of the electronic medium. the first record inaugurating this series stands as the perfect example for his intent, bringing melodies and instruments of the world together with sophisticated technique. instantly awakening the soul, ohrwurm and caracoles come together to form one giant leap of optimism. indeed, alejandro mossos tracks build into a sheer heartening experience. as a shamanmesmerizing his attendance, alejandro brings the listener along into his own reverie, temporarily suspending time and filling space with wonder.

cascabel gentz is an ambitious side project of two producers who are always on the run - los angeles resident apendics.shuffle and dilo from buenos aires. since 2009 they get together in the studio and create an individual mix of house, techno and minimal spiced with their own vocals and guitar riffs. this very personal and organic mood reflects on the new record >electric high<. the original tracks are complemented by an excessive remix collection. gurtz and alejandro mosso play their part to make this ep a prime example for todays music culture network.

alejandro the argentinian fellow, also known for his monikas >funzion< and >e bridge<, released on lomidhigh, alphahouse and sushitech among others, presents us two energetic musical journeys for the meander imprint. this is warm and funky music, simply pure and rich in its dynamic, drive and groove. stunning and very ajejandros own style. the track selva introduces itsself with a temper didgeridoo eclecticism. followed by lush heavy sub basses with a dash of acid and wandering crispy sounds, his tricky rhythm programmings are blowing us away into dramatic dancefloorbliss. spiced up toms between high frequent synthesizers underline its constant presence. a melodic, organic and crafty piece of house music. on the flipside we have >pampa<. the obviously traditional south american influences of our talent merge with modernism, fluxion and frequency precision. an emotional trip that let somehow emerge images of dreamy landscapes while being still a dance orientated killer tune. with this record alejandro emphasizes his creativity as a standout producer for dense and powerfull creations

lets start with the italian ilario alicante and his dj-mix to get the immediate scoop of what makes this guy so special: we cannot describe it other than saying this mix rules! strong but relaxed at the same time with a good variation and xxl deepness in the selection makes this mix a great house-excursion. this is the sound of hot summer nights and happy people dancing til the morning. you can imagine this very special summer party vibe while listening to ilarios mix which incorporates the right elements such as emotional piano-breaks, cool vocal-samples, kicking house-beats and hypnotic basslines.

2017 repress due to high demand and crazy online prices!! santuri s embaire umeme ep got a worldwide premiere from gilles peterson on a never-ending quest to support and exposure far off musical cultures around the world, the next on the corner releases sees them look to uganda. teaming up with santuri (an east african electronic music innovation project) and soundthread (a creative development non-profit), they have worked alongside the mugwisa international xylophone group with modern recording techniques and further re-arrangement on two remixes. the first, by sam jones, was premiered last week by stamp the wax, and today ushers in the second by alejandro mosso. a thudding kick drum at the first beat aims this one straight towards the early evening dancefloor. working in unison with samples from the giant wooden xylophone and conversations between the musicians, serves to place the track back into its original context and is allowed to settle for a couple minutes, before what sounds like a kora or zither brings a far-eastern twist. with the slow-burning, steady elements of a balearic production and the beguiling hypnotism of steve reich s work this is a big worldwide favourite.
