#37 Feat. New Releases in Electro (Classic / Detroit / Modern)

Man Bro brings together two familiar Rotterdam voices: Charlton Ravenberg and Khalil Ryahi. What began as a run of late night hardware jams in a shared lockdown studio eventually shaped All Time High, an eight track album that drifts between coordinated chaos and stripped down rhythm. Techno, electro, acid and skeletal 808 drum patterns surface and fade, driven by hands on experimentation and intuition. Everything was built on analog machines and developed over the past few years. Charltons background in rugged, left-of-centre techno shapes the heavier edge but also brings in the off-kilter chords and warped melodies that run through the record. Khalil, drawing on his Triphouse roots and years of steering the sound of Infinite Pleasure, handles much of the drum programming and detailed editing, giving the tracks their swing, structure and forward pull. Together they form a language that feels natural and direct, two working methods meeting in the middle. All Time High arrives on December 19th as a super limited double LP edition of 25 copies, each featuring custom artwork by Steef Offerhaus, making every record its own piece. The release captures the pace of their city, years of friendship, and the unpolished energy of the sessions that shaped it, documenting a project built on trust, improvisation, and the feel of machines in motion.
