Mysterious trio Mount Kismet present their debut album Warmer Lanes via Disco Halal. Strung together by the dark, alluring vocals of French-Canadian artist C.A.R., the first single, "Teenage Fantasy", combines sparse, synth-driven cold wave with the kind of Middle Eastern electronic elements that have become synonymous with Disco Halal. Based between Berlin and London, Mount Kismet is a project driven by an eastern music obsession and a taste for the heavy pulse of drum machines and the rumbling of analog synthesizers. The group's only other release, the track "Prunes & Dunes", was included in Perfect Strangers, a various artists compilation put out on Disco Halal in 2018 (DH 016EP). An established artist in her own right, C.A.R. has previously collaborated with the likes of Maceo Plex, Red Axes, and Bawrut. Based in Berlin, but firmly rooted in the diverse and forward-facing musical scene of Tel Aviv, Moscoman's Disco Halal label hails from beneath the minarets of the Holy Land. The imprint exists to present a tight-knit and growing community of musicians and producers, each transmitting their unique musical identity, yet each united by a unique sensibility, as well as a harmonious balance of rhythm and experimentation.

TODH 002EP
|
Following up right after its first vinyl release (TODH 001EP), Todh Teri returns with Volume 2. Todh Teri's retrospective continues to reimagine the golden era of Indian cinema. Sampadan chaar revisits a Bollywood ballad with a light breeze of acid thrown on. Next up, an homage to a legendary Indian producer, with a retouch to his classic '80s tune. The final edit on the EP takes on a sensuous super hit from a Pakistani-born disco queen. Giving it a little soul, and a lot of groove.

DH 002EP
|
Swedish label Dirty Hands delivers a motor-driven techno 12" from Patrick Siech. Label boss Per Hammar says, "When Patrick gave me this track, I played it in every set for the three months. When he later told me that he hasn't found a home for it, we said in unison, 'Let's do a Dirty Hands release of it!' And after that moment, all my previous plans for the label were deleted." With Siech's ruthless original paired with Hammar's jungle-sounding edit on the flip, this release is nothing less than a key into these producers' minds.
