8mm Records

Six years on from their last full-length, Satoshi & Makoto resurface with Café Mirage, issued by 8mm Records in collaboration with Standart Magazine. The Japanese duo deepen their quietly assured sound, folding ambient electronics, subtle jazz inflections and restrained groove into a set that feels both intimate and expansive.Framed as an imaginary café, Café Mirage moves with unhurried purpose. Warm textures, hushed rhythms and carefully layered harmonies give the record a sense of flow — contemplative yet gently propulsive. The link with Standart Magazine extends the concept, drawing together music and coffee culture into a shared atmosphere of craft and ritual.Measured and meticulous, the production favours detail over display. It’s a patient, late-night listen that rewards close attention while remaining easy to drift within — a confident step forward from a duo working with clarity and control.

Sensible Soccers x Mad Professor present EP#1 - Dub Versions, a meeting point between Atlantic psychedelia and classic dub techniques. The collaboration pairs the Portuguese trio’s hypnotic grooves with Mad Professor’s deep-rooted studio approach, resulting in a set that moves between dancefloor propulsion and spacious, exploratory textures. ‘Dub de Saia Travada’ and ‘Berlaitada Dub’ lean into heavy basslines and rolling rhythms, built for movement and sound system play. ‘Dub Discreto’ shifts the focus outward, stretching into kosmische territory with nods to Cluster and Klaus Schulze, while retaining the warmth and depth of dub. Bridging styles, scenes and sensibilities, EP#1 - Dub Versions captures a focused exchange between two distinct approaches, reshaped into something fluid and transportive.
