‘I Promise You A Green Pigeon’ continues n_o’s knack for acidic club heat and tongue-in-cheek track titles, kicking off his ‘Definitely One Of The Songs’ EP on Manual Smiles with tribal drum work and dubbed-out chords. A deep, growling bassline underpinning its acid, while sounds of nature permeate throughout before breaking down into pure organic, mystical rhythm at the halfway mark.

The Belgian-born, London-based artist then drops left-field roller ‘Definitely One Of The Songs’, syncopated percussion alternating on top of a continuous kickdrum. While n_o’s version lives in dark basements and murky warehouses, Queer Future Club boss Azo reimagines the track for summery, open skies. She switches out its dubbed-out drumrolls for snappy snares and claps, with euphoric piano acid firmly placed behind.

‘I try and make music that could equally be found in distant spaceships, as well as deep in the vaults of forgotten temples. Manual Smiles is a home for this kind of sound, psychedelic music rooted in the past but with sights set on the future. So happy to have Azo on board for this one, her analog acid tracks are incredible, and her version on the EP adds a fantastic extra dimension’ - n_o

Enno Lombaerts’s n_o pseudonym launched the Manual Smiles imprint after a previous stint running London party collective La bonne musique. Now, he pushes tribal acid, trance and prog-infused techno with the label, so far supported by the likes of Jennifer Cardini, Roman Fluegel, Job Jobse, I.Jordan, HAAi and Priori. For this new release, n_o returns home to Brussels, recruiting Correspondant artist and Kiosk Radio resident Azo for the remix. Her inimitable, Detroit-inspired techno, acid and rave style have made her a key artist in the Belgian and French circuits, frequenting stages such as Dour, Astropolis, and Horst Festival, to name a few.
