June 2022, and a Jackfruit Recordings compilation called Milky Way put Nils Ohrmann, Enduro Disco and Dompe on the same release alongside Dole & Kom and Sqim. Four years on, the first three have a track of their own.

Ohrmann co-founded Arms & Legs with Daniel Steinberg in 2011 and still runs the Berlin house and techno imprint with him and Kristin Velvet, which makes him a familiar quantity round here.

Enduro Disco has built a solid run on Shir Khan's Exploited, taking in Bisou Electrique and Building Up plus appearances on the label's Welt Am Draht compilations in 2022 and 2023, and has been working with Dompe almost as long, from Julio in 2022 through Touch The Sky, French Collection, Vol. 2, and last month's On Fire and You Know with Rendezvous Royal.

Dompe hardly needs the introduction here, having already brought us the Another Excess premiere, the Firestarter premiere, and Waveform Sessions #6.

Straight From the Gate is out now. We’re on a deep house tip here with the trio from Berlin. You know the score; bumpy percs, silken keys, and soulful, funked up vocal cuts. You’re probably almost halfway through listening to it now anyway, right?

Listen to our exclusive world premiere above.
