Kike Mayor and He Did founded Saint and Don't, an independent label that is based in Brooklyn and Lima, Peru, back in 2014 with big things in mind. Four years later, the label has flourished, benefiting from its diverse roots and it has promoted quality underground house and techno sounds from household names in the industry ever since.

With previous installments that included well-established names in the underground scene like Felipe Valenzuela, Dubsons and Dorian Paic, it seems like Pheek is a natural fit for the latest release in the limited series by Saint and Don't.
Pheek, who adopted his name after a Richie Hawtin/Plastikman performance that forever changed his perspective on music, was interested in acid house and raves as early as his childhood in his native Canada. The founder of Archipel, a well-respected Canadian label, has more than 15 years behind the decks and releases at labels such as Minus or Epsilonlab. He has developed, over time, an irresistible style of creating and playing music.
The first track of the Collages EP, There's Still Hope, offers some powerful no-nonsense minimal techno sounds that go perfectly with just a pinch of an acid layer over the linear but enthralling bass line. The straightforward percussions that can be heard continuously only make this track even more alluring.

Next up, Ces Gens, goes towards a more playful approach, but nevertheless delivers some energetic bass lines. The thing here is to look out for the layers upon layers of different patterns that will emerge after the first half of the track, which make Ces Gens probably the most complex musical work from this release.
Peak Peak By You, the third track, is certainly something else. With a commanding bassline that never leaves us, this one creates the perfect after-hours atmosphere. Some freaky noises coupled with a mosaic of effects and sounds in the background will give you the chills and leave you wanting for more once the track is finished.

We cross the finish line with J'imaginais Des Forets, probably the most uplifting of the lot. A haunting vocal sprinkled all over the place and constant mighty industrial sounds in the background remind us of Pheek's eclectic approach to music.

Based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Calder City Development Corp. was developed to build and reshape the landscape, structure and concepts of urban electronic music by using a philosophy of deep experimentation and raw vision.

The first release Stratospheric Architektur' comes from West Michigan native Translate', who's debut release Station Identification' was on the legendary label FEROX. This three track EP features two 10 minute bangers for the club, very much techno but with house sensibilities that should satisfy deep house to techno heads.

Face 1///Break beats begin this release but then is quickly changed into a four on the floor. The rumbling kick establishes the pulse as a hihat comes in to join the rhythm. The baseline come in slowly, syncopated as it likes, steadily as more percussion establishes the groove. Long chord pads come in to say hello as they steadily modulate underneath the feeling emanates soft and hard simultaneous. The tune gives of opposing feelings but always of goodness.


Face 2///A kick drum drops that introduces a vocal sample that slowly fades in from the ether. Flowing pads join slowly giving a sense of ubiquity. Percussion then arrives creating the full amount of the groove. In the middle of the tune, the full vocal sample comes in as the track is fully cooking now and continues to rock until its conclusion.


Face 3/// An ambient piece that features some pitched white noise and droning pads. Sometimes spooky and harsh but with a soft tone due to the pads that pulls a listener's emotion in different directions.

rimming records is a new underground label. vinyl only and no repress, catch your copy now.

the label stands for quality house music, with quality artists.
but there's no need to announce them, quality music always finds the way into the right hands.

After showcasing individual talents in its first compilation, Rotate's second release opens the co-working space and begins a series of releases with the sole objective of engaging its in-house artists in spontaneous collaborations and collective thinking.

Cleymoore and Andrea Cichecki joined Rotate's roster about a year ago and immediately found a common ground where their views and obsessions towards music, sound-design
and all its mind-bending possibilities could be shared and explored.

The Continuum Hypothesis' is the result of this co-exploration: Two fully formed eco-systems where both their worlds found a natural way to co-exist and balance each other, and the end
result is what most of their followers would expect from such collaboration. Hypothesis I & II are, as predicted, two long excursions of highly-hypnotic yet slightly lunatic experimentations.
Razor-sharp beat programming and wild sound-design are key, but there's a clearly thoughtful attitude towards the functionality of both works either at home or the biggest sound-system.
'Hypothesis I' is a warm, emotional arrangement that works perfectly as their first musical statement, and ultimately the most easy-listening option on the table. There's a peculiar
character in both low and high-ends of the arrangement where microscopic shuffling seems to do the trick for its rolling groove, and the ever-mutating melodic arrangement give the
overall palette a slightly jazzy and pleasingly warm vibe.
The flip-side 'Hypothesis II' changes the game and adopts a free-styled, hypnosis-inducing approach where minimalism and repetition do all the mind-tricks. There's micro-rhythmic
structures intertwined with warm analog tones, a gloomy yet seductive atmosphere and a full-toned low-end for full effect. Elements communicate and move in a very liquid, organic
way yet never losing drive.

This is the world of Bruno and Andrea as one. Provocative yet focused, this double tracker was built to get lost in time and space, hypothetically continuous, just as they envisioned it.

Hailing from Edinburgh Scotland, etiket proudly brings you the launch of their vinyl-only imprint featuring 4 club tracks by C-wendy and Renzo.

With the Cogito Ergo Sum EP Samuel Padden shows a UK vision of 2 step breaks and acid all merged together in a unique style.

While the B-side takes you on a straight forward house adventure on B1, followed by a quirky outro on B2.

The Capodopere confectionery is bringing another enraptured release under it's imprint, and it is no one else but crafter Suolo himself. This upcoming voyage starts with a very hypnotic sound construction that might seem ambient in some way, and you get to be greeted by a musician that is in no rush to show you around. With the A side, Suolo is taking his time to build up and subliminally, getting the listener on a very floaty yet rhythmic path. The sets of percussions and claps on this one are something that keep your feet on the ground. As long as the neon vision pad is around you - the adventure continues. Flipping over this record brings you to another chapter that creates the contrast of this release. We can say that the author stepped a bit out of his natural habitat and brought to our attention an alter ego of his. The 4/4 elements here are kicking in very quick after the 00:00 point. A tribal and darker than usual assembly of the drum lines is taking over with flashing industrial sounds and cords. Side B is decorated with some sort of undomesticated vocal, which adds more surrealism to the track. It is indeed a lost-in-the-juncture creation.

the usual concept. an evergreen techno style tune and a hard dirty remix from Endlec. no-frills just techno.

We proudly present Synesthesia's first EP- Vinyl Only-which is signed by Vlad Alexandru Dinu a Romanian artist from Bucharest with a style that we consider to have an unique musical flavour.
'Other way around' is the name of the EP and it contains 3 tracks, including a remix from the well known artist Tommy Vicari Jnr (V.I.C.A.R.I).

E-Numbers is a label run by Mint Club resident Bobby ODonnell. The first release is a split/remix swap with 100hz. Having long admired Lee Renacre's work, Bobby got in touch with the idea of having one original each and to remix each other. What got sent resulted in the A-side, 'Choirtec'. A rich piece of work that is 24 years old and has more funk than its modern day counterparts. The A2 is the 100hz remix of Bobby's original, this melancholic offering twists and turns its melody around glistening drums and scattered percussion. Bobby's original on B1 is a straight up dance floor bomb, its rolling bassline and wurlitzer riff intertwine playfully, while the drums do the rest of the work. The B2, sees Bobby remixing 100hz, dubbing out the original to maximum effect and rounding off the first release on E-Numbers.
