Jell Records, known for pushing boundaries of the techno space, is set to release its second vinyl, and this time it’s Argentinean artist Manu Calmet taking the spotlight with his ‘Pyjama Party’ EP, set to release Feb 29th.
Jell proudly welcomes Manu Calmet into its fold. A DJ, producer, and drummer hailing from Buenos Aires, Manu is a resident of the queer collective/label HIEDRAH. Collaborating with artists like Sara Hebe and boasting releases on labels like Angels Gun Club, Manu brings a unique blend of Latin rhythms and cultural richness to the ‘Pyjama Party’ EP.
Drawing from his drummer background, Manu’s productions stand out for their intricate soundscapes. The ‘Pyjama Party’ EP, a four-track offering, showcases his appreciation for layered and complex sounds, merging emotive melodies, elaborate drum patterns, and vocals seamlessly into techno arrangements. One notable collaboration on the EP features Sassyggirl and DJ Sustancia under the moniker Stripclab. This collaborative effort adds another layer to the EP’s landscape, offering a mixed listening experience.
‘Pyjama Party’ is a continuation of Jell’s commitment to providing something different within the techno genre. While the EP exudes a certain subtlety, it promises a fresh perspective on the sonic exploration that has become synonymous with Jell Records. As the release date approaches, ‘Pyjama Party’ invites listeners to embark on a journey through Manu Calmet’s fusion of Latin grooves and techno beats. It’s not about flamboyance; it’s about the evolution of sound and the quiet revolution happening within the walls of Jell Records.
