Six Swords VA [MAMA007] by Manjumasi Music

Next up from Manjumasi is a showcase of rapidly rising production talents: the Six Swords VA. Titled after the six producers involved, this is collection of finely crafted, edgy and mysterious tracks from artists all over the world.

Leading the way is Unjam Emery, a new Swiss production duo from Geneva. Their track "Sleepwalker" sets a bold tone for the release. Chugging comfortably along at 111bpm, a terrifically woozy blend of swirling synth motifs suck you in to another world. This is followed up by an encore performance from Russian producer Saultloom, whose Kowtow EP debuted on Manjumasi in May. "Canoodle" is a trippy exploration, picking up the tempo and taking us further down the rabbit-hole, once again showcasing Saultloom's ability to craft highly unique synth-driven grooves.

After that is LA-based Fernando Aragon, whose beautiful synth-laden tune "Bergah" softens the mood, with a memorable lead line which is at once uplifting and echanting, yet tinged with a beautiful melancholy. After that we feature DOTT (Dogs On The Turns), a prolific and fast-rising DJ and producer from Bangkok, Thailand. "Kobe's Lost Journey" offers a haunting loop-driven groove with a bouncing bassline and an undeniable air of mystery. Brooklyn-to-LA transplant Sam Jaspersohn continues the journey, with "Pretty Vacant" introducing a darker shade. Razor-edged synth textures and eerie bell tones weave throughout.

Finally, we round out the package with a collaboration between Pakistani producer V i v i d and Greece's Savvas. "In the Sky, to the Stars" is a gentle and dreamy lullaby, soft melodic grooves wafting through the ether.
