Artist: Enrico Mantini
Title: Overflowing Ep
Cat: HB004
Format: Vinyl Only
Label: Half Baked Records
Release Date: March 2014
Half Baked records starts 2014 with a release from one of his most recently signed residents: Enrico Mantini.
Having been part of the deep house movement since its earliest age, djing since 1987 and having released on labels such as UMM or Traxx Underground among many others, we can consider Enrico as one of the European founders of the deep house movement.
His signature sound is raw, punchy and deep; a pure analog wave that immediately floods the dancefloor with good energy and euphoria. HB004 is no different. A three tracker sporting the Italian's recipe for House: gangsta basses, rolling kicks, playful vocals and jazzy synth stabs. HB004 marks a detachment from the micro-house aesthetics of the first three releases, drifting towards an old school sound, while preserving the standard of quality associated with the Half Baked name.
The fourth instalment of Half Baked records is born under a good sign…the sign of dancefloor!

All tracks written, produced and arranged by Enrico Mantini. Dedicated to the greatest love of Enrico's life Manuel Mantini.

Title: BirdsMakingMachine EP
Cat: HB003
Format: Vinyl Only
Label: Half Baked Records
Release Date : First week of December 2013
For its third chapter, Half Baked Records presents an EP from the producers collective of BirdsMakingMachine.
The Birds stay true to their sound, a clever balance between ethereal atmospheres and swinging minimal house production. The first track of the A side, "King Pulga", is a special futuristic piece, elegantly balancing trippy heady melodies, a driving groove and melancholic chords, a true journey.
The second track, "Gnip Gnop", is a stripped down jazzy tool with a more classic deep house approach, multi layered fxs and delayed chords that will hypnotize you.
Remix duty comes from Japanese Techno don, Fumiya Tanaka, scrambling and relocking the elements in a clockwork groove that will no doubt unfold his full potential on club systems.

Title: East Side Slip Ep
Format: Vinyl Only
Label: Half Baked Records
Cat.: HB002
Release: 27-May-2013
After its first installment, Half Baked Records is back with a stellar Ep where two milestones of the underground electronic music scene collide: Mike Shannon and Thomas Melchior. The original cut, crafted by Mr. Shannon, label head of Cynosure and Haunt, carries his typical sound signature; crisp swingy drums, hypnotic stabs and a haunting modulated bassline. However, this time, we venture into deep house territories rather than techno, with a jazzy delayed chord progression that will no doubt cause ruckus on the dancefloor.
On the flipside, Thomas Melchior, under his "Melchior Productions Ltd." moniker, delivers his interpretation stripping it down to the essential. A 12 minutes minimal trippy monster that effortlessly locks you in the groove. Needless say more with these two, let the music speak.

Title: Half Baked EP
Format: 12" (Vinyl Only)
Label: Half Baked Records
Cat.: HB001
Release: 04-Mar-2013
Half Baked is proud to announce the launch of his Vinyl Only imprint, celebrating its love and commitment to underground house and techno music. The first release rounds up most of the core of the Half Baked Agency residents; it's a French affair with Le Loup, Seuil, Yakine and Robin Ordell.
The A1 cut comes from Hold Youth wonder boy Le Loup, delivering an uplifting yet deep modern house cut. "Light Beam" sports a delayed metallic drum that bounces through the track while dreamy pads, bells, swingy hats and a soothing voice transport you in a faraway land. The second track comes from the other half of Hold Youth and head honcho of the Eklo label: Seuil. His track, "Teopartü", is a slightly darker affair: its groove instantly locks you in with his monster bass, while a string slowly rises in the back announcing the next level of hypnosis, where cymbals resonate and trippy pads surround you commanding to surrender.
On the flip side we find a stripped down deep house groover by Parisian house connaisseur Yakine, already part of respected labels like Spectral or Rue de Plaisance. His cut, "Bubazul", is a djs' best friend that will undoubtly cause some stir on the dancefloors with its unstoppable rolling groove reminding us of the early Mountain People releases.
Rounding up the Ep is the rising talent Robin Ordell, freshly signed on Eklo records and already with appearances on labels such as Leftroom or Serialism. He completes the Ep with a raw piece of music where trippy pads and jazzy shakers seamlessly guide to you the breakdown, where melancholic jazz piano chords fall down and make you drift away till the finish line.
Track Listing:
A1. Le Loup – Light Beam
A2. Seuil – Teopartü
B1. Yakine - Bubazul
B2. Robin Ordell – Selfish Bay
