fabric Originals is proud to announce the release of the highly anticipated collaborative EP by Irish-born DJ, producer, and label owner Mano Le Tough, one of the most celebrated names in underground house and techno, and electronic musician and DJ Perel—who was the first German artist to sign to James Murphy's seminal dance-punk label DFA Records.
This EP marks the second release in the label’s new series, 'Future Memories,' which pairs together a legendary producer with new talent to create ground-breaking music that bridges generations.
In Perel’s own words.
----------------------------
“Homage” is indeed a love song. But since I’m German, romantic words don’t come easy over my lips - music is my transmitter here. And if you want to know for whom I wrote “Homage”, please get in touch with my assistant.
The second single “Entertain Us” is a result of the fabric Records matchmaker crew, who, as you might have noticed, like to couple up artists for living. So here we are: Mano Le Tough & Perel made a track together.
In Mano’s own words.
-----------------------------
Infinite Scroll is a tune about online hypnosis, the allure and alienation of the digital experience. Sometimes you've got to ask yourself the question, has your life become an infinite scroll?
I began working on "Entertain Us" in my studio in Switzerland, where it sat on my hard drive for a while, digitally fermenting. I knew it had potential, but I also sensed that something was missing—I just wasn't sure what. When fabric suggested that Perel and I collaborate, Infinite Scroll was the first tune that came to mind. Perel nailed it—her vocals and atmospheric pads elevated the track to a higher level. I'm incredibly grateful for how well this came together, thanks fabric!
