quête:vsan

We are very proud to present the fourth release from Valencia-based label Aloque. Following the incredible reception of the first three releases, Vsan returns with his second solo EP, a natural next chapter after his debut on the very first release, Baby Steps EP, which marked the beginning of the label.

Victor is known for blending the traditions of his hometown with his musical output. Produced while perfecting his tortilla de patata recipe, the EP reflects that same pursuit of getting something deceptively simple just right.

Kicking things off, “Ganivet!” opens the EP with a dubby stab while a solid bassline keeps the energy grounded. Next up, “Lleterola” introduces meditative vocals alongside evolving arrangements, guiding you through a range of emotions.

On the flip side, “Talaiot” draws you into hypnotic dub rhythms paired with African vocals in the Lingala language. Closing the EP, “Samarreta” brings everything together with elegant pads and stabs, a warm vocal, and rich, cohesive harmonies.

Entre Mans EP deepens Aloque’s sonic identity, pushing the label forward while staying rooted in Valencia’s culture. Vsan captures the essence of everyday rituals and shared moments, translating them into a warm and playful groove and storytelling go hand in hand.

To mark 15 years of Butter Side Up, the label presents a special 2×vinyl compilation featuring eight brand-new cuts from artists who have been part of the BSU story over the years - a true family affair.

Contributions from Ron Obvious, Garrett David, DJ Pipe and a host of newer collaborators reflect the breadth of the label’s community. Each artist bringing their own flavour but all carrying the BSU spirit.

The first record leans into club‑focused cuts, while the second drifts deeper into housier, after‑hours territory. Something for everyone.
