With this first-ever release, Manipulations, a community that has been hosting a diverse range of bizarre mixes from around the world now marks the birth of the record label of the same name.

On the Istanbul–Bosphorus axis, Covvalent conjures music for stations that no longer exist — sonic architectures built on the phantom schedules of discontinued night trains. This release navigates the interzones between ambient drift, dub’s echo chambers, and the restless pulse of breakbeat and downtempo, where action dissolves into consequence-free reverie.

“Manifesto” holds a feeling of restrained tension, balancing darkness with an irresistible pull, like an occult dance unfolding in half light, where the rhythm leads inward rather than outward, the pulse dense and hypnotic, movements repeating and spiraling into a trance state.
