Massiande – Stand [MOS022]
M>O>S Recordings welcomes a new talent to the label in the form of Chilean Massiande. ‘Stand’ will be his first release since a 2013 EP on Housewax and is a four track affair that explores cloudy, atmospheric house with plenty of panache and flair. First up, the title track is a raw house kicker with rubbery basslines, frazzled machine lines and muted voices all making for a spaced out and slightly acid vibe. The Future (Is Now) is another mid tempo cut, this time with loud dramatic chords and strings in the mix dominating a Chicago referencing bottom end. It’s strong reflection character then makes way for That Feeling, with its rolling bass, icy hi hats and subtle Larry Heard style melodies that really transport you to another galaxy. Lastly, Get House closes out an emotional EP with far gazing pads, airy percussion and the sort of drums that just make you want to shake your limbs. Classic from start to finish, this EP is sure to win Massiande many new fans.

Palms Trax – In Gold [DKMNTL024]
“I cant even afford bed linen, let alone a 909”. The unpretentious of Jay Donaldson is disarming in many different ways. Words of the label: ”We consider Donaldson aka Palms Trax to be one of the most promising new artists to date. His sound situates him firmly along the Chicago-Detroit axis, cooking up pad-driven jams, off kilter drums and hazy synths that shift like a gentle musical tide. In 2013 he inaugurated the Lobster Theremin label, the London-based imprint that quickly became one of the most talked about record labels around. When not travelling the world for prime-time gigs Donaldson holds a residency at the widely respected Berlin Community Radio. It’s with great pleasure that we welcome golden boy Palms Trax to Dekmantel Records.”
