Ahead of his second artist album on his own Millionhands label in July, Tee Mango teases with a fantastic first EP taken from it. The album finds the UK artist stretch himself with a dazzling array of soul drenched, fully fledged songs featuring his own singing and that of Detroit legend (and Moodymann collaborator) Amp Fiddler. The sound, very much influenced by early Prince and even a little Bon Iver, combines effortlessly with that loose sampled MPC-house feel that you would associate with a Tee Mango production. It also comes with a seal of approval from Radio 6 Music legend Gilles Peterson and after EPs on the likes of Aus, Clone and Local Talk in recent years. Opening up the EP, Amp Fiddler features on ‘Feels Like Whatever’. Dancing Rhodes keys, ooze jazz charm and float atop a simple house beat, while the Detroit legend’s emotive raw soulful vocal directs proceedings. The heart breaking ‘No More Tears’ is an introspective sad soul song that shows another side to Mango’s skills. Tender chords, downbeat drums and vocal hums and coos all melt your very being. Last of all comes the dazzling ‘Lay Down (Disco Mix)’ with its slapped funk bassline, finger clicks and squelch synth work all topped off by an effortless falsetto. This is a fantastic introduction to the full length to come. More

We've had our eyes and ears on Tee Mango for a while now. His debut album 'Imperfections' is a future classic in our book and the Tribute series has been part of our DJ-sets for a while now. In short - we had to get him to do an EP for Local Talk. DADHAUS EP is forward-thinking music with an edge (undoubtedly sharpened through countless studio hours). Tee channels the deep house flavours of Detroit and Chicago across four tracks of exquisitely executed percussion and 'sample-not-sample' work. It's another winner from the man like Tee Mango. More

4 prime house tracks on Clone Royal Oak by Mr Millionhands Black aka Tee Mango. A very versatile EP that continues the tradition of the Royal Oak series. Continually breeding new offsprings of the classic well-known 80's and 90's styles, all with a strong sound signature of the artist. Tee Mango leaves the traditional path of 90's house music and delivers 4 intense tracks all looking for that perfect groove that you just dont want to stop. Looping vocals, woozy chords, irresistable laidback basslines, Jazzy keys, After hour vibes, peak time heat, this ep got it all. Big Up Mr Mango... this is some proper House music!

TIME IS NOW Time is Now comes off like Adamski era Seal rerub for the small hours. Replete with hypnotic looped piano and drums sounding like they were lifted from Vaughan Mason's Raze house archive. Simply sweet sweet electronic music. MAKE IT LAST FOREVER The B side is Tee Mango on home turf, with a selection of choice samples under his
cap (from a record you might recognise), some simple loose sampled drums and a smattering of dub delay. Love for this series coming from: Axel Boman, Benji B, Artwork, Fred P, and a heap of others. These #Tribute releases sell out pretty quick, my hunch is that these will not hang about. More

A bold move to cover a Daft Punk record? Perhaps... but OFF MSG and vocalist Hadi create a respectful update of the oft overlooked Romanthony penned finale to Daft Punk's second album. Too Long is one side of vinyl and 6 minutes of classic infectious house music; as uncomplicated as it is effective. Sounding not unlike an early Marshall Jefferson / Jungle Wonz record. Hadi's vocal leads the way, underpinned by loose house beats, live tambourine, a 'when house was disco's little brother' bass line and analogue disco stabs that punctuate the space. More
