[GRAN 029] Tripmann & Sandrobianchi - The Lament


Los Grandes is back presenting a new collaboration from Tripmann and Sandrobianchi. Two brilliant tracks comfortably positioned somewhere between the most elegant slomo and effective deep house.

‘The Lament’ is about nostalgia riding over a perfect soulful groove. Elegant guitars, sleazy rhodes and midnight trumpets match as perfect companion for the mellow but strong vocals.

Fingerman’s mix speed up the tempo giving the track a full disco house treatment. The track becomes a total latin fiesta madness after the Brighton’s disco don refurbishment. Dancefloor heater.

‘Girl’ keeps the melancholy by using smart sampling, a cold but playful synth arpeggio, epic pads and strings; all that layered over a tremendous heavy bass and perc.

Dynamicron’s mix is about slowing things and turn the track into a more dark and electronic side. Somewhere among Nu Disco, Coldwave and Italo is this mix kicking around.

We hope you enjoy!

Juno Download review: "There's something deliciously laidback and sultry about "The Lament", the first collaborative single from Madrid-based producers Tripmann and Sandrobianchi. The track is built around a head-nodding, midtempo deep house groove, but it's the variety of sweet, sensual samples - think eyes-closed jazz guitar solos, bluesy vocals and hazy trumpets - that stand out. Fingerman's impressive remix injects a little extra energy via a sub-heavy bassline, sample cut-ups and heavy, bongo-laden disco percussion. The EP's undisputed highlight, though, is Dynamicron's remix of "Girl", which turns the woozy, sun-kissed original into a stylish, slightly intense chunk of Balearic disco crossed with exotic, new wave-era middle Eastern synth-pop."

[GRAN 028] Futurewife - Slash Fiction EP



Los Grandes produly presents the 4th EP from Seattle-born Futurewife brings a whole host of world genres into the proverbial kitchen for one lovely disco-mash. The three original tracks are taken constructed from the loop-laden meandering of his live sets and carefully arranged into 6 minute house jams. Sink your teeth into the one of America's most abstract & confusing house producers. All this with three fantastic remixes aside crafted by DynamicronHeion & Ali Jamieson.

We hope you enjoy!

Juno Download review:  "Here he delivers the belated follow-up, an expansive six-track set featuring three original productions and a trio of tasty remixes. His style - cut-up, eccentric and funky, with curious instrumentation and an unfussy joviality - is arguably best showcased by the wonky funk of "As Luck Would Have It", though the filter-heavy disco-house blast of "Come To Love" runs it close. Remix-wise, there are particularly good versions of "As Luck Would Have It" by Heion (baggy Balearic nu-disco) and Dynamicron, whose slowed-down interpretation sounds both strangely druggy and intensely sober. Either way, it's delightfully exotic and pleasingly humid."

[GRAN 027] The Two Mamarrachos - Edits


Juno Download review:  "It's hard to establish who here (label or artist) is luckier to be associated with the other. Los Grandes is one of the hottest nu-disco labels of the moment, but new signings The Two Mamarrachos have some serious weight behind them too. Based in San Sebastian, T2MM consist of veteran Balearic DJ Dr Beat - a former resident at Ku Ibiza and Amnesia, who counts the likes of DJ Harvey and Eskimo Recordings as fans, and Borja Campion: owner of 10,000 records and self-proclaimed "stage animal". They're known for their exquisite edits and here they deliver four more quality disco-rock beauties."
