Mareh Music 001 vinyl

You may not have heard of the Mareh festival, but apparently it's the Brazilian equivalent of Croatian favourites such as Garden and Electric Elephant. The people behind the festival have decided to spread their wings, and here launch their offshoot label with a little help from Eric Duncan, Pete Herbert and Tricky Disco. The former kicks things off with "Nerve Control", a chugging fusion of Italo and analogue house that's reminiscent of his collaborations with Rhythm Odyssey on Golf Channel. Flip for Herbert and Trisco's "Disco De Choclate" a kind of Balearic disco/reggae disco hybrid that makes excellent use of punchy horn samples. Both tracks are undeniably "floor-friendly", and sound like they could generate serious heat over the next few months.
