The fourth pressing to arrive from the Romanian imprint feeder sound is titled “Mirror Time EP” and features three intriguing cuts signed by Mihai Dinu aka Bucurie. Well-known in the international scene for his collaborations with Depth Over Distance, Otaku, Stamp Records, Hubble Recordings, Honne Music as well as for his independent releases on Bandcamp, the local DJ and producer brings forward a distinct sound which blends his deepest thoughts and feelings with hypnotic and vibrant microhouse or minimal techno music.

The artwork for this 12’’ was carefully created by Maria Bălan as a part of the label’s ongoing live streaming events which brings together musicians and visual artists in order to connect the two different creative fields, expand beyond their borders and deliver fresh cultural alternatives.

With Dragutesku, Piktor and Oana being the ones that so far contributed to the catalogue, feeder sound stands on solid grounds, enjoying the support of a worldwide movement which can interact with the platform in numerous ways. Bucurie’s productions have been noticed by the team for quite some time now so this record was a natural step to follow after his participation on the podcast series, the exclusive premieres and the EP Review sections, as well as on one of the live streams.

Side A is reserved for “Spacefunk”, a wobbling uplifting journey designed with a solid bassline, steady-paced percussion and eerie ever-evolving background effects. The reverberations and the subtle intertwined textures create a mysterious feeling, like being lost in space and letting the spiralling sounds to guide your path.

On Side B we find “El espacio” rolling with a warm vibration built with a prominent broken beat that elegantly merges with euphoric melodies and bright progressive arrangements while “The call” closes the EP with a driving dubby sound. Here, the atmosphere appears to be dimmer, being lead by delayed notes, subtle maritime chords and spacious breakdowns.

The Romanian producer known as Dirty Culture represents a distinctive, dense, atmospheric sound and a crunchy rhythm section. On the B side is a soft and thoughtful remix from SCSI-9, as well as a dance and experimental remix from the founder and head of "House Dessert Records" - Artem Shpist. In general, the release has an eclectic sounds.

“We like our bike, it is made for 3. Our Mike sits on the back you see. We like our Mike and this is why, Mike does all the work when the hills get high.”

Timeless words from the great Dr. Seuss, and in considering the 20 year history of Mike Shannon's Cynosure label, there could be no truer sentiment. From it's humble beginnings in a sleepy Canadian town formerly known as New Berlin (Kitchener, Ontario) to it's current home in Berlin proper, the label has grown to become a nurturing launch pad for artists from around the globe, and one of the most dependable and consistent providers for those in search of deep minimal funk of the house and techno persuasion. Much like Shannon himself, each and every release in the label's now vast catalog reveals itself with unhurried, confident class, and always with a wink and a wry smile.

In celebration of the label's 20th anniversary, Shannon has amassed another peerless collection of tracks from his nearest and dearest which, much like every banger in the back catalog, are certain to become permanent fixtures in record bags of DJs with an ear for taking dance floors straight down the rabbit hole for many years to come.

Featuring contributions from fellow Canadians Mathew Jonson, The Mole, and Deadbeat, Shannon's frequent collaborator Dewalta, and American legends Ryan Crosson and Brett Johnson to name but a few, Cynosure 20 is a testament to Shannon's stalwart commitment to the music he loves, and the incredibly talented group of merry pranksters he's brought along with him for what, it's safe to say has been one hell of a journey... may it continue for many years to come.

Malgorzata Dygasiewicz, who was born in Poland, moved to Berlin in 2006. Before that, Margaret lived in London where she consolidated her dj skills in such famous clubs like "Fabric" or "The End".

The latest Still Hot release comes from label boss Benny Grauer himself. The release is called "Move On" and contains 3 original tracks and a great Gorge remix.

The two originals "Move On" and "Harmonic Resonance" are groovy deep house tunes, carried by stabs and chords and a deep bassline. As a DJ, Benny Grauer likes to play Detroit and Dub-Techno, which also influences his productions.

Gorge has produced many very successful tracks in the last month. He gave Harmonic Resonance his own melodic style.

Friends of the black gold can already look forward to the deep and dub-influenced track Interference.

Love Manifesto, our 3rd vinyl only release, is Robert David's artistic expression, and an introspection in the meaning of Love. What is love in all it's forms, how we accept or deny it, how society can change the meaning of it and deform it. This is a very special project in which the artist crossed over the realms of sound by creating a painting that was done in paralel with the original tracks, absolutely with no intention of becoming the cover of the project. But somehow it fitted perfectly. With the Minimal and the Romanian sound being at the root of the project, the 2 remixes from Argenis Brito and Macarie, complete the picture and the trip in which we invite you to dive in and hopefully enjoy the "madness" of it, as we did.

Peace and Love

Austria's Paul Walter comes head to head with Romania's most lyrical imprint, Catren. One track per each side, he doesn't compromise when it comes to quality, emotion and execution.

Reminiscent of earlier days Chilean productions which we need not name but will for melancholy's sake, the A side, "Yuil" takes us back to the days of Hireklon and Waiworinao, thought long forgotten and forsaken in favor of cold and austere expressions. Guitar strings harmonically banded together with minimalistic percussions, handclaps and indescifrable vocals compose what will be remebered as a hall of fame track in the years to come.

"Phobo", on the B Side, takes a more classical approach that will most likely bring back memories as well, catering to a more upbeat style, using poliphonic melodies and a two tone theme that drives the track forward alongside discrete drums and a swingy, fast paced bassline.

Switching to "Hacker", a more light hearted third course relying on dub influenced melodies and mid ranged basslines, Paul shows just exactly how versatile he is and the diversity that he is capable of bringing forward.

And so we come to "Rio", which makes use of constant atmospheric elements, the same technical expertise and thought out demeanor, strung togheter to finish off what is a somewhat abstract and tender "swan song" of the EP. Highly recomended and certified classic, vinyl only.
