dbo & Mannmademusic
Imagine if Indiana Jones had been a bit of a queen, or at least a bit of a diva. Hat made out of broken glitter-balls and instead of a whip he sported a fairy wand like that annoying chick outside Bar 25 in Berlin. Maybe he would be wearing alligator skin chaps? The temple of doom certainly takes on a whole knew meaning.
Well if this spin-off did exist then we at Join The Dots are that man I just described. Searching the world for long lost treasures, hidden gems and future classic pieces. Like our more butch cousin, we are not in this for the cash (please note our releases do cost money), we may not give our findings to a museum, instead we give them exclusively to you.
Mannmademusic
On the 7th day God made light, or something along those lines (I am not a religious man) then on the 8th day Mannmademusic. Now whilst Mannmademusic's edits I have to be honest are not as good, or as long lasting as God's creation on the 7th day, unless of course you are Stevie Wonder, then who needs light?

Without trying to to take away from the mystique here, Mannmademusic is known to his mum and his community support officer as Iain and he is from Sunderland, his music is inspired by slo-mo house along the lines of The Revenge and Craig Smith, Mark E and Eddie C (good Join the Dots influence there) and he has a couple of releases out on Audio Parallax Records soon. You can also download a mix of his from Slo-Mo Radio.

I guess after such a long winded description it is going to look quite sad if I only write a tiny bit about our other musical Arc of the Covenant. But dbo comes from the same school as Mannmademusic, slow burning, deep bass-ing and eyes-down housing. All splashed with a bit of disco to keep your hips wiggling. He sent us M.U.S.I.C. a lovely musical composition and we loved it. Download and share the love.
These edits are exclusives, meaning you can't download em anywhere else, but here. Now that is a special bit of treasure.

James Welsh // Novelty Island // XLR8R
Cry self interest all you like but James Welsh is definitely the man of the moment, not content with being the man behind our latest release, he's also giving away a free track for those big dogs over at XLR8R. It's called Novelty Island but don't be confused, it …

Secret Love 6 // Compiled by Jazzanova
The phrase 'Secret Love' normally refers to sneaking behind a bin down an alley way for a quick knee-trembler or the ifs, 'butts' and general darkness of Berghain's Laboratory. Here though it's a compilation put together by Jazzanova (I literally heart these boys) and the people behind

Melbourne Deep Cast // Francis Inferno & Fantastic Man
Join The Dots artists Fantastic Man (Mic Newman) and Francis Inferno Orchestra are teaming up with Adelaide's The Carter Brothers for the next instalment of Melbourne Deep Cast's rave-up.
