Juan Ramos steps in for the inaugural release on Manchester-based label Bent Hedonism, following a standout set at the Derby Brewery Arms last November.
Across four tracks, Ramos explores a vivid tension between softness and intensity; fluid, tactile house music that moves effortlessly between warmth and bite. Lush, emotive passages sit in sharp contrast with tougher rhythmic frameworks, resulting in productions that feel both inviting and quietly confrontational.
Rooted in dancefloor functionality yet pushing toward the avant-garde, the EP balances colour, restraint and forward momentum, tuned for low-lit basements and industrial spaces worldwide.

STAFF COMMENTS
Matt says: A new label and club night emerges out of the Strange Quarter here in Manchester. Bent Hedonism show plenty of promise on their inaugural vinyl outing. Straddling the dark recesses of house and EBM, with plenty of pump and very little pomp; Berliner Juan Ramos lays out the foundations of the label nicely - tough drums, lashings of acid and pure up-all-nite energy. Perfectly pairing tension with release for those long, drawn out sessions of unadulterated hedonism. One to watch!TRACK LISTING
