The making of this record inadvertently began in Cuba in January 2008. Powershovelaudio was recording in La Havana some of the best contemporary Cuban singers and musicians. The resulting recordings were of an inspiring beauty. The situation was that Powershovelaudio had this outstanding collection of Voices, Woods and Brass, all infused by the tropical warmth. It was first-class material that should be put in the best hands possible, then Maayan came to mind.
“Night Long” is a synthetic work. Maayan has inexplicably, quickly and with incredible precision captured the essence and the expressivity of the Cuban musicians and taken it to a hitherto unknown place. Maayan is of course well-known for her diligent talent in inserting voices of quality in her mixes, but in this occasion
the result is more than surprising. Instead of concentrating in her signature minimal beats, Maayan has experimented with different cadences, depths and moods, leaving behind her swirl a disconcerting record of inspired beauty. This art in this record is graced with photography by one of the best and most influential photographers in the world: Moriyama Daido. Maayan asked Moriyama san for permission to use the cover image, a request which Moriyama san, after listening to the record, gladly accepted.

Limited Edition CD inkl. 36 Page (!) full colour Booklet with unqiue Photos by Margaret Dygas Finished Cd will come with a sticker attached with descriptions so the value of this gers clarified.
Margaret Dygas' position as an avant garde techno producer has been achieved with only four proper releases to her name but backed up by years of formidable DJ sets around the world. Born in Poland, she spent her formative teenage years growing up in America and now, like so many other dance music producers, lives in Berlin. Her exquisitely executed tracks have been released on Contexterrior, Non Standard Productions and Perlon, each showing a progression in her abilities and slowly revealing a distinctive type of sound.
We are proud to present Margaret Dygas' first full-length album 'How Do You Do' on Japan's PowerShovelAudio. From her early days clubbing in NYC as a fashion student, to the start of her music career in London in the late 90s, to her current bi-monthly residency at Berlin's hedonistic Berghain/ Panorama Bar, Margaret's way has been a spontaneous gentle progression. It was in Berlin that she began producing and writing her own music. She released her first EP on Contexterior, more recently Non Standard Productions and Perlon, each unique in their take on modern listening and the dancefloor.
'How Do You Do' was inspired by the book 'Peoplewatching', a guide to body language, by British zoologist Desmond Morris.The book was a leaving present from her best friend in England and served as a companion during her first years in Berlin up to the present. The title, an old English greeting, is welcoming but also has a double meaning. The book describes human differences and similarities, cultural and inborn, as well as general human habits. Margaret found herself returning to it again and again, as she grappled with new experiences and relationships. As a controversial writer, Morris' insights into human nature may not be a rule book, but somehow comforting in cold Berlin winters.
