Armando Mendes - Parallel Universe

Parallel Universe, released on January 31, 2020, is Armando Mendes’s debut album, conceived over two and a half years across Los Angeles, London, and Berlin, and featuring notable collaborations with Robert Owens, Ithaka, and Jinadu.

The record traverses a wide spectrum of electronic environments, moving between downtempo, refined deep house, spiritual jazz-house, and ambient touches, while maintaining coherence. Tracks like This Life’s All We Got (featuring Ithaka), No Regrets (with Robert Owens), and The Melody Inside (with Jinadu) highlight both Mendes’s ability to craft emotive sonic landscapes and to build danceable pieces with emotional depth. Parallel Universe is an introspective, sonic, cosmopolitan journey where club elements, ambient textures, and improvisation blend into an elegant, intimate, and expansive whole.
