Mango (Millionhands, 2012)
Mango, an artist who has himself released on Wall of Sound, Fine, Made To Play and Front Room under various guises, heads up the first release with a breezy, engaging two tracker of disco-infused house-not-house.
The title track treads a loose-legged, block party vibe punctured with rich, elastic synths that slide around the mix creating a gloriously woozy vibe while B-side cut %u2019Redlight Feelgood%u2019 builds broken drums, sultry vocals and phased sweeps into an incredibly intense dance floor burner. Both tracks, although musically different share a distinct charm and magpie-like approach to composition that makes them utterly engaging throughout.
Drawing inspiration from the company%u2019s Ltd Edition T%u2019s, the first 50 12%u2019s of each and every release on Millionhands Music will feature hand screen printed, hand stamped artwork, with Mango%u2019s %u2018Breathe Easy%u2019 being the first, Late-September, al all vinyl retailers.
