about

ECLECTICS RELEASE PAPA DOC AGUILA BY MAX MANETTI

For their 14th release, the Bournemouth-based Eclectics label heads to Italy and brings back the Papa Doc Aguila EP from Max Manetti (Uber/Music For Dreams).

Sharing some of its DNA with Manetti's previous release on Music For Dreams, Honey Tribe - a track recorded with no instruments other than percussion and voices - 'Papa Doc Aguila' has a similarly stripped-back feel.

On Henley, Manetti's live bass takes the lead, driving the drumtrack to dance around it swishing its skirt. It never puts a foot wrong. Meanwhile, the vocal's distant echo serves to underline and underscore. It renders everything familiar, while focusing attention on the subtle shifts and gentle twists.

Macoute is a similar study - the same landscape, shot from a different angle. More staccato than its close cousin, with a shuffling drum loop a La Passionara, it shows a sturdier, heads-down dedication to the shamanic shuffle and the repetitive beat.

For remix duties, the release turns to stable favourites James Bright, Faint Waves as well as Eclectics' main engine driver Grant Williams. Three very different approaches, all with the same message: 'Tonight we're gonna party like its 1989.

'

James Bright brings out the balearic acid and sunset synths on his joyful rework of Henley, while Faint Waves use piano and marimba as a surefire short-cut to the white isle. This take on Macoute provides the platform for Grant to launch into a looping edit that beats and claps its way to a loose-limbed dance around the floor at 4am.

And the man Manetti himself? Well, he has this to say: 'What I love is when you start something that could take a million different shapes. Sometimes, in special moments, sounds magically cross and a thrilling resonance comes out and shakes your soul.'

Prepare to be shaken.

Papa Doc Aguila's is fully released on 25th November on all the other download sites.
