A. Slip It
B. Slip It - Melchior Productions Ltd Remix (ft edit)
Info:
After its first installment, Half Baked Records is back with a stellar Ep where two milestones of the underground electronic music scene collide: Mike Shannon and
Thomas Melchior. The original cut, crafted by Mr. Shannon, label head of Cynosure and Haunt, carries his typical sound signature; crisp swingy drums, hypnotic stabs and a
haunting modulated bassline. However, this time, we venture into deep house territories rather than techno, with a jazzy delayed chord progression that will no
doubt cause ruckus on the dancefloor. On the flipside, Thomas Melchior, under his “Melchior Productions Ltd.” moniker, delivers his interpretation stripping it down to the essential. A 12 minutes minimal trippy monster that effortlessly locks you in the groove. Needless say more with these two, let the music speak.

Information:
Half Baked Records proudly presents the sixth instalment of their sought after Vinyl Only series. After having being featured on the second release of the label, the Canadian modular man of mystery, aka Mike Shannon, drops another swinging monster to his already extensive list of wax slabs. This EP celebrates Half Baked's 5th birthday and the A side, "Over and Over (Time To Celebrate Mix") is the perfect embodiment of that, a cybernetic-gospel-funk monster that will drag even your grandmother to the middle of the dancefloor, shaking her ass till she faints. On the flip side we find "Just A Glimpse", featuring Mike's
signature elements, crisp drums, a spooky yet playful bass and teasing electric piano jazzy phrases. The B2, "Pleasure Law", is the deeper and more romantic cut of the record, adding some mellow chords in the equation that eventually get picked up by Detroitish wave of filtered epicness, finally unfolding into an uplifting piano solo outro. HB006 will take no prisoners.

A Gravitron
B Valosel 4000
Mike Shannon throws another volley of no way back and only forward techno. Gravitron is the monster A side named after a cheap amusement park ride that spins it's passengers inside a wheel faster and faster until it's passengers are all floating off the ground. Playing this track at 100 db should also give the listener the same effect. Valosel 4000 is a phase shifted bass monster. With a chest hitting kick this track takes hold of a spacious, wave table bass line that connects the listener with a sound influenced from early 90's UK techno/hardcore but weaves it's reference into a complex maze of compression and dynamics only found in the music of the future.

A1Bleep Back
A2 Serge Up
B Bleep Forward featuring Evan Baggs
Mike Shannon has revived Cynosure Recordings after a two-year hibernation, and its revenge has come with a focus on Mike's solo productions and Collaborations. Reset, Bleep puts the label's catalogue back at 000 and begins to count backwards to where its roots began.
The A1 - Bleep Back is a deep bass monster with some definite in your face, morphing wave table trickery. And if Shannon's latest sets are anything to go by, it is a tried tested and true weapon on the dance floor, one that you'll find yourself coming back to in your mind. Following is "Serge Up", a super dry and crunchy minimal house number produced with the famous Serge Modular system, a rare synth used by producers like Richie Hawtin and Jean Michel Jarre. In the hands of Shannon, this machine has produced some of the weirdest and wildest sound to come out of his studio to date. Finally we have "Bleep Forward", an alternate mix of the A1 track. This time Shannon enlists the help of NYC/Berlin badass Evan Baggs. This version leans more towards a futurist sound with an underlying modular bubble and a synth progression that chugs tirelessly forward. Backed with an Aux88 style 808 groove and Ghetto Detroit style bass line, this track is poised to be a regular from Berlin to Brooklyn.

Mike Shannon steps up to the Cityfox LTD plate and squeezes the jack juice on his latest offering for Cityfox LTD entitled Foxology. It's a 3 track (5 digital) session of deep jazzy basslines and smooth cuts. We start things off with 'Foxology feat. Flowing', a twistedly deep smoothy of a house cut with Shannon's signature shuffle groove and warped dynamic basses featuring some wicked Blues harp action from Amsterdam's Flowing. Foxology's B-side is home to 'Foxwell' and 'Zukunftstrasse', the former being a rather hot number bubbling with bouncing bass, whereas 'Zukunftstrasse' is even more laid back and down tempo, while still playing your mind with it's sonic insight to the distant future. Digitally, you have the pleasure of Foxology feat. Flowing (Dubmix), taking things deeper than before. Digital buyers will also receive the 'Spritz Mix' with it's emphasis on percussion and mood, this sounds like a whole new track. Leaving the Jazz at home in favor of a bubbling Detroit style deep jack mix.

It’s been 10 years since Mike Shannon started making a name for himself on the international techno scene as a DJ, producer and label owner. Now, having recently relocated to Berlin he’s crowning his
first decade of active service with The Memory Tree, his third LP in all and the first for another notable Canadian export – Plus 8 Records. Anyone who knows his previous two albums will already be aware
that Shannon’s music covers a broader spectrum than just minimal techno. In fact 2005’s “Possible Conclusions To Stories That Never End” was awash with downbeat electronica, highlighting a natural
instinct for fusing rhythm and melody whatever the style or tempo. Although “Memory Tree” follows a more club oriented trajectory it retains much of the emotional response generated on “Possible
Conclusions” and is all the better for it. As a result Shannon has put together a collection of tunes that are simultaneously dark and soulful, stays true to his roots while embracing the future and never fails to deliver a flurry of kick-ass, funk inflected beats.

Mike Shannon, - The Love Fry
It’s a long time since Mike Shannon first presented Richie Hawtin with his first dub plate at a Jack party in Detroit
way back in ‘96 and although since then he’s gone on to establish himself as one of Canada’s foremost techno
producers, there seems to be a strong sense of destiny surrounding this new collection of tunes being released on
Plus 8. Either way, Memory Seed is the first EP to be taken from Shannon’s forthcoming Memory Tree LP,
containing three varied cuts that perfectly capture the style and direction of this remarkable album.
With its long, beatless intro Mercury Mile makes its presence felt amid a wash of static interference and squirming
synth riffs, while the molten bass and raw, angular snare lend the groove a cool Detroit-electro flavour. Mix friendly
and deeply atmospheric, it’s a handy dance floor tool for breaking things down and spacing things out with its
snaking rhythm section and cavernous wash of background effects. Shannon’s natural instinct for combining
rhythm and melody will have beads of perspiration breaking out in anticipation before he finally allows the sultry
beats to kick in.
The X Flex mix of Dr X is a more beat intensive version of the album cut and another flawless example of
Shannon’s highly addictive synthetic funk, this time with a raucous, jacking main riff replacing the classic filtered
down chord stabs and soft melodic interludes of the original. Shannon downplays the groove during the opening
stages allowing the deep, chugging bassline to make full use of the space between the beats. By gradually
dropping snares and hi hats in tandem with secondary melodies, Dr X goes through several stages of subtle
elevation before the main riff opens up and the rhythm section solidifies into a rough and ready techno shuffle with
just enough distortion to stop the beats from boiling dry.
Love Fry is one of the pivotal, stand out moments on the album occupying the middle ground between the
contrasting musical aspects of Shannon’s work. On the one hand - the dark, engrossing synth lines full of ecstasy
and menace, on the other - the soulful, jazz inflected elements that add colour, light and a tinge of nostalgia to his
work. And right at the heart of Love Fry they collide like two shifting tectonic plates throwing out a jagged
mountainous terrain that suddenly levels off into a lush, expansive plateau. It’s a masterstroke made all the more
impressive by the chameleon like bassline that morphs through all manner of twists and turns before the resonating
wind chime fx add a tactile, new dimension to the mix-out. If that’s not enough, there’s also an exclusive raw mix
available for download that peals away the rhodes sequence focusing instead on the dark, funk of the track’s
underbelly.

active for more than ten years and one of the luminaries of the canadian electronic music scene MIKE SHANNON just settled to Barcelona but left this nasty three tracker as a parting gift for his Wagon Repair buddies. possibly Mike found quite a large cockroach population "under the carpet" as he was packing his stuff cause the jumpy percussive beats, rubber bassline and staccato sounds that make up the itchy a-side track sound like those nice cohabitants had quite some busy party going on. the b-side holds two more stunners that are bound to cause some ruckus - not only underneath the rugs but also on floors of all kinds - with "global pleasureism" boasting an addictive pizzicato synth-string melody and stepping beats plus cluttering electronic funk of "valence".

Voigtmann - Areola 51
Fresh off the back of his superb new album, Voigtmann is back with an equally juicy new 12" on Half Baked, a party crew with which he has a long association. His intricate minimal style is laid bare here from the off with 'Aesthetic Solutions' offering up a colourful mix of trippy sound designs and sci-fi moods over slick tech drum programming. 'California Cruise Control' gets deeper, with a more prominent squelchy bassline taking centre stage. 'Underexposure' then ups the ante with a more cosmic and driving techno sound and last of all is 'Areola 51', another one built from silky loops and futuristic synths over crisp tech house beats.

James Bangura - How Are U Feeling?
The always tasteful Half Baked crew looks to one of their own for this fresh slice of delicious minimal. Sam Bangura was a new young resident for the party back in 2018 and since then has really honed his own sound. It's laid bare here across four fine cuts, with opener 'Range Finder' serving up bristling drum machine grooves and cheeky basslines overlaid with cosmic chords. 'Axel's Limp' is a brilliantly vibrant melodic overload with scintillating drums and plenty of neon colours. 'Bugbear' gets more gritty with a standout bassline powering forwards rugged tech house and 'How Are U Feeling?' then gets spaced out and slick.

Magaret Dygas - Subliminal 20A7
Margaret Dygas may be based in Berlin but her unique sound can't be tied down to any one city or scene, as she proves on her latest 12" across three tracks for the consistently exciting Half Baked label. Not that there's anything half done here, of course, with A-side tune 'Butterfly Effect' a prime slice of groovy. resonant techno that's understated and restrained enough to gain comparisons to Jaydee's 'Plastic Dreams' classic. 'CC Is 33' is warmer, with nicely slidy, jazzy organ chords and itchy technofunk rhythms, with the most minimal of the three tracks, the static-infused, atmospheric 'Subliminal 20A7', coming last but by no means least. A great showcase for a great, original talent.

Luca Piermattei - Galaxy
Since launching a few years back, Half Baked Records has consistently served up high quality fare from a mixture of underground heroes and rising stars. We'd put Luca Piermattei in the latter category, even though he's been releasing music for a few years and recently featured on Rawax. Memories of a Wonderful City is genuinely excellent, with the Italian doing a good job in combining vintage synth and drum machine sounds in a fresh and ear-pleasing way. Choose between the pleasingly bouncy, sci-fi-fired deep house dreaminess of 'Galaxy', the sleazy late-night brilliance of 'Vintage Style' (which incidentally features a frankly filthy acid bassline), the bustling sweatiness of extra-percussive opener 'Busy Life' and the undulating, analogue-heavy jazz-funk-goes-house hustle of '80's Sound'.

Last time we heard from Giuliano Lomonte, back in June 2020, he was working in cahoots with like-minded pal and fellow Berlin resident Alexis Carbrera. Here he makes his first appearance on Half Baked Records, in the process delivering his first solo single since 2019. The standout is arguably A-side 'Activator', a tactile, tech-tinged dancefloor roller in which spoken word snippets and fluttering electronic motifs cluster around a typically chunky and shuffling groove. The Italian producer opts for a deeper and more hypnotic vibe on the deep house/tech-house fusion of 'Control Center', before reaching for starry electronics, bubbly synth-bass and loose-limbed late '90s style tech-house beats on 'Secret House'.

Info:
Half Baked Records is back with his fifth offering, presenting the solo Ep of French dj & producer Robin Ordell. On top of having released on Eklo, Robin is one of the historical residents of Half Baked, an artist present in the family from day one, growing together with the
project while bringing his own touch to it, a delicate balance between light and darkness, drive and delicateness. Robin infuses power to his tracks via a no compromise formula on drums; tight old school rhythms that are then cleverly fused with expert sound design and minimalist aesthetic, showing a lot of maturity in his productions skills. The A1, Five Majors, is a perfect example of this balance, a dramatic club twister that has all the ingredients to rock a dancefloor, while preserving a touch of elegance. The A2, Nobody Loves Bishopgate, has a an eerie underwater
feeling, slowly numbing you with his bubbly bass and filtered melodies, but still keeping you afloat with his funky swing. On the flipside we find the remix of Vera, a “djs’ dj” and renowned producer for her releases on Perlon and Oslo to name a few. Vera strips it down, emphasizing the drugged out atmospheres and delivering an hypnotic laidback re-interpretation that will no doubt be the highlight of many morning sets this summer. The B2, Kosma, is the “brightest” cut of the record where jazzy chords alternate with playful stabs, teasing you throughout the whole the track.

Info:
Half Baked Records is back with his fifth offering, presenting the solo Ep of French dj & producer Robin Ordell. On top of having released on Eklo, Robin is one of the historical residents of Half Baked, an artist present in the family from day one, growing together with the
project while bringing his own touch to it, a delicate balance between light and darkness, drive and delicateness. Robin infuses power to his tracks via a no compromise formula on drums; tight old school rhythms that are then cleverly fused with expert sound design and minimalist aesthetic, showing a lot of maturity in his productions skills.

Half Baked records starts 2014 with a release from one of his most recently signed residents: Enrico Mantini.
Having been part of the deep house movement since its earliest age, djing since 1987 and having released on labels such as UMM or Traxx Underground among many others, we can consider Enrico as one of the European founders of the deep house movement. His signature sound is raw, punchy and deep; a pure analog wave that immediately floods the dancefloor with good energy and euphoria. HB004 is no different. A three tracker sporting the Italian’s recipe for House: gangsta basses, rolling kicks, playful vocals and jazzy synth stabs. HB004 marks a detachment from the micro-house aesthetics of the first three releases, drifting towards an old school sound, while preserving the standard of quality associated with the Half Baked name. The fourth instalment of Half Baked records is born under a good sign…the sign of dancefloor!
