Abstractions

Protectorate is The Analogue Cops project focused on deep minimal sound and characterized by mental dance music. Protectorate productions are appreciated and played by artists such as Villalobos, Zip, Lutz, Francesco del Garda and Tanaka to name a few.

Over the six distinctive tracks on Forbidden Islands, Madrid duo Uanamani defines their broad and multi-faceted vision of techno and ambient. The two genres become one in Derk & Iterbio’s hands. Propulsive rhythms surge forward, peak and disintegrate into plumes of heady fog. Float with the weightless two openers, drill deep into dubwise territory with “Punatori,” soar with club cut “Poveglia,” then ride out the smooth descent.

Understory unveils four beautiful works from our dear friend Pîrvu. A champion raver that we have shared many dances with in Berlin, Bucharest and beyond, his deep understanding of this music has led to the formation of a lovely and very personal sound that we have found so refreshing. Four different moods and explorations, psychedelic funk from peak party to ambient depths. With strong support from Rhadoo and Dan Andrei, who have used these to great effect recently, we’re very excited to present this music to the world.

Asper Bothrops join the Spinning Plates team as new artists to the roster. Nuanced late night club music alongside a deep rework by label regular Andy Rantzen.
