Vapoura x The Mandrake marks the first album in Vapoura Rum’s After Stories series with a collaboration of craft between Chapter One and one of London's most iconic culturally led venues, The Mandrake.
The tracks move effortlessly through deep organic house, hypnotic minimalism and richly textured electronica, creating a soundtrack that mirrors the changing rhythm of The Mandrake from dusk until dawn, space by space.

Track List
Portal (2.25) — City chaos gives way to The Mandrake, as trains, voices and movement slowly dissolve into a hidden pocket of calm.
Waeska (6.16) — Heavy drums and hypnotic rhythm chart the exact moment the room tips from dark into euphoric.
YOPO (6.47) — Deep grooves and warm, dance-driven rhythm trace the walk from a buzzing bar into something more intimate.
Jurema (6.24) — Earthy percussion and open-air grooves conjure a hidden jungle retreat, turning darker and more minimal once the sun goes down.
Lava Tory (6.00) — A deep bassline and punchy groove built for late nights, as playful and unconventional as the room it's named after.
Mashahari (5.40) — Rolling basslines and driving tech-house percussion build into a relentless pulse that pulls The Theatre's crowd in and keeps them there.
