Spincycle records presents the first imprint on their label - a two track EP from Mieka Du Franx and Mark Ambrose on 180g heavyweight vinyl.After meeting at a gig in LA, Mieka and Mark hit the studio together and recorded these tracks in 2016. The result - two club ready house tracks with deep, spun out vocal takes. Side A, Wake Me Up (Dreaming Dub) leads the way with floating pads, warm echoing vocals and a dubbed out, pulsating bassline. Big after hours tip if you’re feeling a little playful. Side B, Wake Me Up comes in heavy with wonky deep house chords and Mark's signature syncopation, a treat for the later hours. Mark Ambrose is a man that needs no introduction from us. A veteran and legend in the house and techno realm who is renowned for creating iconic and unique music. Mark has been instrumental in shaping the unmistakable sound of UK tech house and techno since the late 80s.Mark's love affair with house music was fueled by the beats of Chicago, New York, and Detroit and he quickly rose to fame in England's club scene. As his love for music deepened, he ventured into producing, birthing his label, CRAYON, in 1997, one of the most iconic labels in the tech house realm. Ambrose has also produced many tracks under the alias SKYMASTER, to showcase his heavier techno sound. So many of Mark’s productions are now underground classics, and many have been repressed and re-released in recent years, a testament to Mark’s talent, passion and the impact he’s had on the electronic music scene and its history. Originally hailing from the East Coast in the US, Mieka Du Franx, had a lifelong passion for rhythmic beats. Her journey started with ballet, jazz, and tap dance and eventually evolved into freestyle dancing, which exposed her to New York's vibrant Freestyle and House music scene where she began to explore underground dance music in the early 90s. Exploring the various clubs in New York eventually led her to the dj’s which then led her to working in the music industry. Mieka worked behind the scenes for many years, in record shops like the infamous Satellite Records, while also exploring her own productions and eventually started her own label Felinephonix Music in 2005. From its second release, Felinephonix Music was recognized by some of the world's leading DJs and publicised on BBC radio. The label became eponymous for house, tech-house and avant guard accents, with an emphasis on lyrical experimentation with Mieka's voice becoming the labels signature element. Mieka's dedication to working behind the scenes with her spectrum of many talents manifested many multi-media endeavours tinged with her unique flavour and also led her to grace the main stage at the Detroit Electronic Music Festival, Movement, alongside renowned artists like Francois Kevorkian, Carl Cox and Steve Bug. In 2016, Mark's path intersected with Mieka Du Franx at a gig in LA, leading to a remarkable collaboration. We are honoured to present these works between two veterans of the electronic music scene. This record embodies both of the artists unwavering passion for underground music and fuses both their unique sonic aesthetics. In loving memory of Mieka Du Franx.

Futureslowdubdisco moves in a deep groove of sonic slowness: a two-way collaboration between producers Francesco Colagrande and Simone Ticconi, the creators of ‘Superpaesaggio’, their debut for Hermit Records.These four original tracks blend dub and deep techno abysses, ephemeral ambient atmosphere, and hypnotic library obsessions. Lose yourself blissfully in the low beats, the lazy flow of the four movements, the hypnotic repetition, the almost shamanic rite that take sover all your senses.The conclusion, though, is entrusted to two cleverly manipulated remixes of L'oggetto and D Lewis & Paul Hyde, which cranks up the BPM dial. Enclosed within kaleidoscopic artwork put together by Flavia Mastrella (Leone d'oro 2018), ‘Superpaesaggio’ is a journey into sound that has no worries sinking into the reverberations and delays of ordinance, as well as involving sparse and distant voices that bring more human entities into the entire Futureslowdubdisco project
