East Coast Love Affair & For Mankind: Musica Para Todos Vinyl LP
"Our close friend and fellow Scot, now Ibiza resident, Pikes resident DJ and island favourite, For Mankind (Russ Forman) had talked about doing a studio collaboration for some time. Drawn upon our mutual loves of house music, dub and weirdo dance music by the likes of African Head Charge, Larry Heard and Sun Ra. We spent hours just pulling and listening to records from all our collections and talking about music before hitting the studio. What resulted from the session is a beautiful and exciting blend of everyone's taste - dreamy, minimal, almost techno synthscapes, New York oddball house that sounds like some lost Sleeping Bag test press to almost Música Popular Brasileira. At one point Russ, (For Mankind) grabbed the mic and hit us with his best pidgin Spanish, so we felt it only right the LP should also bear his name. Russ' vocal came as a surprise to us all, loose, funky, wild and carefree, (like the man himself), with positivity and a message: This music is for everyone. Our good friend Hanna (Philomenah) also brings her giant talent on Brazilian influenced 'I Can't wait', expect to hear a lot more from this Shetland-born singer on Athens of the North and elsewhere." - East Coast Love Affair
- mellow, experimental & balearic full-length from Athens Of The North house band East Coast Love Affair
- black vinyl pressing
- music label: Athens Of The North 2022
