over the course of the last decade, black pepper label boss jose manuel has proved to be one of electronic music s finest contemporary alchemists, conjuring percussive, intoxicating and otherworldly musical treats for such labels as tusk wax, kinfolk, kill the dj, optimo trax and music for dreams. the genius of manuel s productions lies in the italian s ability to conjure cracking cosmic compositions out of a diverse range of global rhythms, instruments and influences. rarely has this been more evident than on his debut release for nunorthernsoul, a four-track serving of dancefloor mysticism that puts mind-altering rhythms and saucer-eyed instrumentation front and centre. track, for example, the light and dreamy wrapped sumptuous balearic synthesizer chords and melodies around gentle hand percussion and drifting zambian vocals on the sublime journey in lusaka followed by the feverish, trance-inducing african rhythms, delay-laden chants, psychedelic acid lines and jangling jew s harp motifs of intense opener journey in lusanda , a ritualistic afro-cosmic onslaught ripe for peak-time plays. if the ep opener is all about being flat on your back and staring skywards, the follow up is all about druggy, heads down sweatiness! manuel s deep love of indian music is explored on journey in mumbai , where exotic sitar lines, fluttering clarinets and echoing, densely layered female vocals rise above a thick, tabla-fired groove. it s naturally hugely evocative and atmospheric - a fine dose of emotion-rich spirituality capable of inducing hallucinations in the straightest of listeners. to complete the ep, our hero travels even further east for journey in osaka , a fittingly percussive exploration of japanese music s past and present that also includes audible nods towards the poly-rhythmic drums of west africa. it s a superb combination of traditional instrumentation, 21st century electronics, heavyweight rhythms and mood-enhancing melodic flourishes. like the rest of the journeys in...ep, it s both hugely alluring and impeccably produced

for clandestino s fifth offering berlin s italiano in residence jose manuel drops his unique strain of exotic club music once again exploring deep, ritualistic and tribal influences to great dramatic effect. human behaviour is a woozy nine minute opus. rich in atmospherics, chanting and ethnic flutes. clandestino s remix refines the track for the dance-floor, retaining the atmosphere and injecting a driving 303 line and jamming afro keys. upping the tempo on bangalore a great ethnic guitar hook drives along the groove while disorienting chants and tribal percussion flutter underneath. mushrooms project turn out an essential blissful sundown version by extending out the pads and adding gentle warm keys dj support: tim sweeney, tensnake, chris coco, phil mison, severino horse meat disco, bawrut, forriner, in flagranti, sean johnston, phil cooper, tronik youth, marvin & guy, jdh (fixed / good room nyc), andy (soft rocks), justin strauss, chris (soft rocks), danielle moore/crazy p, ooft!, ian blevins, alvaro cabana / rotten city, peaking lights, eddie c, reza athar

yet more italians on optimo trax! jose manuel delivers 4 unique exotic, fourth world, tribal slabs of ritual music. a1, the great beast in outer space is actually an andrew liles track that jose has completely reworked and sprinkled his magick on. mr. liles is one of my favourite producers in the world, both for his solo work and for his input into my all time heroes nurse with wound. for those who know his work, having something by him that will work on a dancefloor may bring a smile to your face. thankfully i know him a bit and he was more than happy to grant permission for this to be released. a2, folklore is fourth world exotica reimagined for late night dance rites. aa1, ritual, is exactly what the title says it is. aa2, sisi leaves the dance floor completely and even though optimo trax is 100% aimed at djs, was simply too lovely to leave off.

prolific italian dj and producer josé manuel releases his debut concept album excursion africanism on the highly respected copenhagen based music for dreams label.
excursion africanism is a visionary concept album written, produced, and arranged by josé manuel that succeeds in combining a sense of balearic beats, world music and afro acid within a template of space disco. don t miss...

our afro-latin warrior jose marquez is back once again on basic fingers with two new percussion infected workouts. those familiar with jose marquez s previous works will not be disappointed as this might be his strongest release yet. on quinto y bongo he goes on dark tribal journey with hints of electronic layers and some serious bongo action. the flip track canto del caribe is more direct & to the point with a full on percussion assault and fierce latin chants. a proper floor filler!

above machine continue to build a heavenly selection of summer cuts, bringing aboard - for their eighth outing - the excellent jose manuel this acclaimed italian producer has landed himself at the forefront of a new wave of cosmic and balearic producers with releases on isit balearic, kinfolk & joe s bakery

italian producer domenico camarilla has hit a rich vein of form under the jose manuel guise of late, supplementing output on his own black pepper label with feted appearances for tusk wax, is it balearic?, lectric sands and citizen kanes disques sinthomme. given his profile, a union with the soft rocks affiliated kinfolk label makes utmost sense and jose manuel fans will find much to enjoy about ajna. both the title track and *the clear after the storm* are steeped in eastern mysticism and feature heavy percussion from the man manuel, whilst the accompanying soft rocks remix will appeal to fans of rabih beainis *tanki tanki* edit.

groovin latin - balearic styled

featuring charlotte le rouge on vocals this is a haunting balearic song with sparse, but tense beats. the cosmic metal mother remix adds some sax and takes the track down to lower manhattan with a lounge lizards vibe. b/w a remix by label head dennis kane that brings the party vibe.
