second ep of the systema naturae series on 012 with 4 fresh new deep techno cuts from newcomer producers.

systema naturae is the first compilation of 012

even though we re not paladins of pure concepts, the sound we re currently looking to release usually has a raw, kinda primitive and rough around the edges nature. we re definitely not looking for the generic -soul sample meets a 4x4 beat- kind of edit. for this release we challenge 4 of our favorite porto producers to give their unique twist to different samples and sounds of records we love. ranging from upbeat disco rhythms to organic drums and hypnotic g funk melodies this release has it all. we truly believe this is a honest representation of part of the porto music movement that makes us proud.

galletas callientes & monkey tool are proud to present this fantastic project! electro tropical at its best... needed! melting vinyl and electronic sciences to the traditional instruments of cumbia, batterias and street music... a melt of tropical electro, ragga, techno, batuccada, dub, merengue... defenitly a masterpiece. 200 copies are flying to columbia and usa. 270 copies are in europe. enjoy !

limited reissue of the self-titled bainasystem debut album on blue coloured 180 gram vinyl.

great great ep by gel abril! tip!

next up on donato dozzy and neels spazio disponibile label is close friend and italian producer marco shuttle. the eerie label-boss is a regular on the label having put out his systema album here last year, as well as his flauto synthetico ep in 2016. his always meticulously crafted sound is rooted in dark, cavernous techno. he finds plenty of new ground in each new release, though, with some tracks being haunting ambient works and others more propulsive rhythms. this new ep features just that across four typically inventive and absorbing tracks that are as much for your head as they are for your heel.

with its inception almost a year ago, we fall into the last release for 2017. this time it comes as a special limited package of remixes which include guti, shaun reeves and olivian nour, all of whom have put together some amazing finishing touches to maher daniels feelings from the other side album.

in der zugegebenermaßen noch nicht allzu langen, dafür aber umso vielfältigeren und soundtechnisch höchst ansprechenden geschichte von glitterbeat gab es bislang nur eine einzige 12”. mit dem vinyl “el leopardo / el acontista” erscheint jetzt die zweite. die zweisong-schönheit von el leopardo gefiel dem label aus beverungen so gut, dass man sofort die chance ergriff, die platte herauszubringen. hinter dem projekt stehen dani boom von systema solar und felipe alvarez, kopf des in bogota ansässigen kultlabels polen records. auf “el leopardo / el acontista” mixen die beiden urbane dub-texturen mit reduzierter kolumbianischer percussion, spoken-word-beiträgen und einem tiefen, hypnotischen bass.

fusing latin american sounds with european electronic beats can often produce a bland and rudderless dross destined for derivative lounge compilations and deliriously dull playlists at pretentious after work cocktail bars. not so with the aptly named 1st trip, the superb sophomore effort from the equally aptly named los transatlanticos.
