Shortinfo:
Label head Moopie and digger extraordinaire Bayu shine light on a set of gems excavated from a curious period of IDM-electronica. The sentimental sequel to their stunning I Won't Have To Think About You compilation, the ten tracks float in melancholic space yet sound beautifully human. Neo Ouija alumni Bauri and Plod meet deFocus' own Lackluster, while Abfahrt Hinwil, the legendary duo of Toytronic boss Chris Cunningham and Martin Haidinger exchange a letter of melody with Multiplex. Includes a previously minidisc-only (!) track by Proem and a superb cut by Merck Records' own MD, aka Jaakko Manninen. Full-colour, reverse-card sleeve with printed insert.

SHORT PRODUCT INFORMATIONS

- LTD DOUBLE GOLD & KHAKI LP: Limited edition, Double Gold & Khaki Vinyl , Gatefold sleeve, printed inners, sticker. Reissue has been cut at half speed, to ensure maximum audio fidelity for this landmark release, and is the first time the album has been pressed on vinyl for over ten year


SHORT INFOS / KEY POINTS

- Originally released in 1993, 'The Brown Album' marked a significant evolution in Orbital's sound - and was met with widespread critical acclaim. NME awarded it 9/10 in their review, and it was chosen as one of Mixmag's best albums of all time.


- Standout track, "Halcyon + On + On", became an instant classic, known for its ethereal atmosphere and haunting vocal sample from Opus III's It's a Fine Day. The track's dreamy progression and uplifting yet melancholic tone made it a staple in film soundtracks and DJ sets, embodying the emotional depth electronic music could achieve. "Impact (The Earth Is Burning)" is another defining moment, an evolving journey of layered breakbeats and dynamic synth arrangements, reflecting the duo's ability to create both club-ready and introspective music. Meanwhile, "Lush 3-1" and "Lush 3-2" demonstrate Orbital's knack for crafting intricate, evolving grooves, balancing pulsating rhythms with melodic flourishes that keep the listener engaged.

- Debut release from Courtney Bailey
- A2 Remixed by Lewie Day aka Tornado Wallace
- 12th release from Animals Dancing

GENRE/S: House, Acid, Tribal

TRACKLIST:

A1. I WANNA FEEL YOU (BERLIN VERSION)
A2. I WANNA FEEL YOU (TOKYO VERSION)
B1. ANIMALS ATE THE MUSHROOM
B2. I SEE THE FUTURE
B3. I WANNA FEEL YOU (SHORT VERSION)

SHORT INFO:

Naarm/Melbourne's Animals Dancing return with I Wanna Feel You, the debut acid-laced EP from Berlin-via-Tokyo's supreme chug lord, Courtney Bailey, and the twelfth release on the label.

Across three versions of the acidic, floating title track, Bailey delivers varying degrees of atmosphere, coupling her hazy vocals-drifting between English and Japanese-with an undulating acid line and crisp percussion.

On shamanic stomper Animals Ate the Mushroom, manic percussion madness meets calls of the wild, while I Feel the Future finds a middle ground with animalistic sirens, SFX, bubbly acid lines, and distant vocals, driven by an FM bass line and tight, punchy percussion.

Released on Wurundjeri Country. Always was, always will be Aboriginal Land.

"A girl suddenly woke up in a strange city, but something was wrong. There were only animals there."

ELLI is set to unveil her highly anticipated self-titled debut album in May 2025 on Horisontal Mambo label,
founded by Nordic disco legend Prins Thomas.

This 12-track album marks the beginning of a new era in her sound, introducing a bold and fresh take on
cosmic synth pop. Blending ethereal soundscapes, cinematic textures, and euphoric 80s-inspired energy, Elli’s
debut promises an immersive musical journey.

ELLI explains, “The album captures a variety of emotions - moments of nostalgia and transcendence. It explores
the space between euphoria and melancholy, creating a sense of timelessness.”

Crafted in ELLI’s studio in London, “I’ve always been fascinated by the interplay of space and sound, especially
from taking contemporary dance lessons since I was 4 years old” she says. “I spent hours experimenting with
textures and unconventional sounds, including percussion I created from sea shells I collected in Greece. I also
loved playing movies on my projector while composing, it gave me the feeling that I’m creating a soundtrack,
connecting the visual to the sonic. It was an immersive experience.”

From the tender, inviting pulse of "New Muse" to the introspective beauty of "In My Field of Experience," the
album offers a wide-ranging experience, moving between euphoric highs and quiet moments of reflection. It’s
a work of contrasts, an exploration of the personal. An honest debut. Mambo HQ April 2025.

Bio:

Electronic musician and singer/songwriter originally from Greece, ELLI, has called London home for the past 15 years, balancing her career as an automotive engineer with her passion for creating music. After collaborating
with several producers as a vocalist, she released music on renowned labels like Connected, Anjunadeep,Objektivity, and Truesoul. In addition to her successful collaborations, ELLI's solo journey began with her debut
single "Race My Heartbeat" on Prins Thomas’s Horisontal Mambo label.

She followed up with "Just for Me & You", released as part of Steven Julien's DJ Kicks mix on iconic !K7 Records.
Channelling a broad range of influences, her solo project explores the intersection between ambient/electronic ethereal soundscapes and a more upbeat side that leans towards cosmic synth-pop.

Recent tracks ‘Race My Heartbeat’, ‘Radiant’ and ‘In Your Eyes’ have been championed by tastemakers including BBC Radio 1’s Jaguar, who playlisted the tracks in the BBC Introducing Dance show and &ME who
playlisted on his Spotify ‘TrackID’
