Before the wider world had caught up with Mammo, there was Heaven Smile. The Amsterdam-based producer — known for operating under a labyrinthine network of aliases and imprints, and for revealing as little about himself as possible — released this three-track 12" under his 2301 alias in late 2023, and it remains one of the more quietly essential documents from his expanding catalogue. Recorded at Staalman Studio, mastered at Manmade Mastering.
Three tracks that sit in the enticingly hypnotic space between ambient, house and techno that defines Mammo's output at its best. Shell occupies the A-side with the kind of unhurried, absorbing techno that rewards patience over immediacy — a track that opens slowly and gives more the longer it runs. Level and 15II complete the flip, each one a distinct angle on the same inward-facing aesthetic: rhythmically grounded, texturally considered and carrying the quiet intensity of someone who makes music entirely on their own terms. With Mammo's profile rising sharply following his work with Short Span, this early Heaven Smile release offers essential context for where the universe began.
