Conceived in Bali as a club event to allow Phil Cooper and Indonesian DJ Dea Barandana a chance to flex their rave potential and dig out those obscure, heavy dance floor cuts it has been hosting sporadic parties for the last 3 years, with no specific musical boundaries, it is about the late night, early morning dance floor experiences, heads down and lost in music! A label was also planned, but when that would happen was always unclear, however a chance meeting in Croatia at Love International Festival 2018 between Phil and Carlo Bragagnini AKA La Mano has led to the inaugural release, TGOE001 La Mano 'Tana del Lupo’ EP… Two tracks sent by Carlo immediately had Phil's attention...

Side A - Sirena, inspired by the classic Italo stable, a deep and driving intro that builds with a rolling, solid bass line, shimmering effects, gun fire handclaps and siren sounds before the piano line eases in to take it to a euphoric crescendo of soaring synths for maximum hands in the air vibes, the track then breaks back down to more ethereal synth lines and piano stabs to give the dancer some breathing space in its finale… Goosebumps all round...

To add weight to the release, remixer options where discussed and both agreed on Man Power, and his rework has taken it to a much different place, adding a solid breakbeat to it, dirtying up the piano and extending the mix to 9+ minutes, this is HEAVY for the floor...

Side B - La Mano, the ying to the yang of Sirena, this is a much more progressive track, subtle in the arpeggio build up and layered to create a big sound culminating in a swirling series of dreamy chords and synth lines. The Ambiente mix takes away the kick and percussion to allow the full dream like state to take effect, one for sunrises and sunsets across the globe...

“Chatting with Carlo over a few cold Karlovačko’s in Croatia, his love of the early rave scene and Sasha’s legendary Shellys mixes soon became apparent” said Phil… Carlo went on to say “Apollonia was probably the first record I remember hearing that really struck a chord with me and inspired me to find out more about this emerging scene, Brothers in Rhythm productions also a firm favourite and Stress records the stand out label for me at the time, these early influences shaped the style of music I listen to, play and produce”…
