MM Cast 02: COYOTE

Is it Balearic? Recordings' capos Timm Sure and Ampo have been on the "Balearic Scene" even before the word "Balearic" got fashionable some years ago.  They started as djs in the early 90's becoming residents at the historical "Venus" in Nottingham, it was in 2002 when they became producers and from then on they started producing tracks under the moniker Coyote, being responsable of notorious works signed on "International Feel", "Needwant" and "Music for Dreams" to name a few, and of course on their own imprint "Is It Balearic? Recordings"

Was in 2006 when "IIB?" started and since then, and a long with the sublabels "Über" and "Magic Wand", 15 years of pure Balearic Bliss where the "brithish-downtempo-maestros" have featured artists from the likes of Max Essa, Danielle Baldelli, Dj Rocca, Bonnie & Klein, Mori Ra and Anton Klint to name a few.

2021 has been a very prolific year for Coyote, delivering an amazing EP "Return to life" and another remixes ep of their LP "Buzzard Country", both records on "Is It Balearic? Recordings". They also have been working for MM Discos doing a magical rework of Bonnie & Klein's Albatros

The contribution of the Nottingham based producers to the scene is unquestionable and crucial, being a constant influence for dj's and producers who decided to move forward with the sound that artists like Dj Alfredo, Paul Oakenfold or Jose Padilla discovered back in the days from the "white Island" to rest of the world.

When we talk about their sound, a question comes to our head,,"Is it Balearic?", of course it is, but more than this, this is COYOTE Sound!!

Mori Ra_Gaia Edits

Mori Ra strikes back at MM Discos with "Gaia Edits", after the successful release back in May on the label of the "portuñol" duo, Da Silva and Dj Katah welcome again Osaka's best record collector with 4 new high quality editions.

Staying loyal to his eclecticism, Mori Ra approaches this time a lil more to the dancefloor by doing a more hedonistic work than his previous release on "MM Discos" , an exuberant "disco-no-disco" exercise mixed with ethnic references, wicked percussion, charming marimbas and an endless of psychedelic elements. A record done for the soul; spiritual, mystic, highly addictive and 100% danceable.

A very special release where the Japanese artist has involved his son who helped with choosing the sound source for this record.

MM CAST 04: Franz Scala

From his studio at the (infamous) berliner club "Sameheads" , Franz Scala has been building with years a great reputation on the contemporary "Italo-Dance-scene", being the mind behind 2 essential labels as "Slow Motion" and "Wrong Era". Artists like "Fabrizio Mammarella", "Francisco" or "Rodion", to name a few, have been rising as a part of the Italian family that Scala has created with "Slow Motion".

Imprints as "Bordello A Parigi", "Tusk Wax", "Bahnsteig 23" or "MM Discos" have had the pleasure of hosting the Italian maestro, signing there remarkable records. Italian dance highly influenced by new wave, obscure synths and a little balearic touch.

We are very happy to have Franz for the 4th episode of our monthly "MM Casts", doing what he knows best, and inviting us to a space oddity thru wave, synth pop and of course...italo disco baby ;)

MM CAST 08: Anatolian Weapons

We've decided to stay in Greece for the 8th episode of our monthly Casts and join forces with super talented and unclassifiable artist Anatolian Weapons.

More than 15 years producing music speaks for itself about the vast knowledge of the Athenian artist who, after exploring the borders of EBM and Krautrock with his other 2 monikers Dream Weapons and Fantastikoi Hxoi, found his path under the alias of Anatolian Weapons, bringing both styles and adding a more spiritual vibe. 

His works as remixer are also remarkable, we had the pleasure to feature him last year with an amazing rework of Shujumi, included on the acclaimed release from Volta Cab "Balearic Balsam EP".

Also need to be mentioned his passion for tribalism and Greek folk music, both well reflected on his style, with outstanding works that have found a place in renowned imprints like "Beats in Space", "Emotional Rescue" and "Dark Entries" among others.

We invite you to this obscure psychedelic trip, set you mind free and get ready for the dancefloor.

MM Cast 11: Sim Fossil (Mister T Records)

It's been a while since we haven't done any excursions in discoid territories, we've decided to go back to the roots in this new episode, back to the sound where everything  started, both as djs and as a label. 

The guys from Mister T Records have been doing a great job lately releasing a bunch of great editions and mixes signed by artists from the likes of Joutro Mundo, Sim Fossil or Dj Duckcomb among others.

Paris based but originally from Moscow dj, producer and collector shows us this time his vast knowledge and huge repertory of records with an outstanding mix where "funk" will be the leitmotiv of this new MM Cast.

Sim Fossil has always been fascinated by electronic music ,he started producing music at the age of 13 when he found his first inspirations in house and downtempo artists as  King Kooba. Later on in Paris, found his path in music with Mister T Records, calling the attention of well respected djs from the present underground scene.

HAL INCANDENZA - Incivitas:

The summer starts beating to our doors and now that the nightmare of the pandemic (looks like) is coming to an end, mysterious dj and producer Hal Incandenza has taken over the control of MM Discos in order to get the things warmer and rock the dancefloors and festivals around the world.
Besides his amazing skills as producer, Henry Saiz the man behind the project of Hal Incandenza, has also made his path in music as songwriter, musician, graphic designer and dj.

This time introduces us to "Incivitas", a killer track that oscillates between House and Nu-Disco ready to dinamite the peak time of the most selected clubs. Hypnotic, selvatic and very wild.

Things turn even wilder with "Ceremony", highly influenced by the legacy of Daft Punk while Marvin & Guy closes the EP with an epic italo-dance version of "Invicitas", if you wonder why the duo from Parma are one of the fitter guys when it comes to burn down the house, just have a listen.

Bomba EP!!

PREMIERE: Hal Incandenza - Incivitas

MM Cast 12: Hal Incandenza

It's always a pleasure to work together with close friends, I met Henry (the man behind Hal Incandenza) back in 2005 and besides the beautiful friendship between us,  his huge talent and the way that this guy felt music was always fascinating to me. Since the first moment I saw that he could do whatever he wanted to; write and produce any kind of style he would dare.

You could see him last year in MM Discos reworking Bonnie & Klein's Diamante and more recently signing this amazing Ep "Incivitas", a work that has been cooking for more than a year and that is called to be one of the bangers of the forthcoming festival season; but the story of Hal Incandenza in MM Discos is not finished yet, stay tuned cause more things are getting ready.

Natural born workaholic, Henry has been involved in projects as producer, songwriter, musician and graphic designer as well as hosting several radio shows throughout his long career. 

In this last episode of our monthly MM Cast, we've decided to rescue his last chapter of his own show "At Home with Henry Saiz" where the spanish producer gives a masterclass of downtempo and balearic beat. Make yourself confortable, roll a nice spliff and chill ;)

MM CAST 12 - Hal Incandenza

When we asked "mighty" Chida to be part of this release, we had no doubt at all that the result of his rework would be amazing. No time for surprises cause you all know that when Chida takes over the control you should be ready for another banger. ;)

Shinnoskey Chida, Dj Chida or simply Chida has been (and stil is) one of the most representatives institutions of the underground house scene in Tokyo for more than 30 years. Starting his career in the early 90's, he is one of those "Dj's Dj", flattered along his career by artists from the likes of Andrew Weatheral, Lindstrom, Mark E and Dr Dunks among many others.

Chida's producing and remixing skills are out of any doubt, in his career has worked with imprints like "Correspondant", "Not and Animal", and "Eskimo"to name a few, here at MM Discos we also have had the pleasure to have him as a remixer doing his thing with Coyote's Fragnatize me, track that for sure its burning many dancefloors  right now around the world.

"Ene Records" capo join us this month and we are amazed to introduce this obsessed music collector who has given his best by digging in his vast collection in order to deliver a very special mix where Balearic classics fusions along with underrated sounds from the always quality underground Japanese scene.

MM Cast 16: ADRIAN MARTH

Due to our personal lifes we've been in silence more than what we were expecting first. However we are very glad to be back with our MM Cast. This time we get back to 80's territories with a very special mix signed by Adrian Marth, head of the always surprising label "Italo Moderni"

No need to say how much we like the vibe of Italo Moderni and Adrian Marth. The barcelona's based capo, big fan of synths, EBM and Newbeat; has been building recently a solid spot on the scene, being a big influence for dj's who focus their sound on the Italo era.

In this new cast, Adrian Marth dig on his huge vinyl collection delivering a very special mix where (of course) "Italo-Disco" will be the leitmotiv of the story. it's getting dark time to use your  sunglases at night.

MM Cast 14:  EXOTIKA

One of the things that we love the most from the beloved berliner underground is the huge quantity of unknown/underrated djs that scene provides.

We introduce you this month to EXOTIKA, good friend and great selector. Joan Bernat the guy behind the name, is one of those obsessed diggers that are always in the search of the perfect beat and the warmest vibe. Balearic, downtempo, protohouse and everything in between is the leitmotif of the catalonian dj.

Member of the amazing collective "Ceremony", one of the hottest underground parties in Berlin, along with Nirel Nica, Llupe and Rafa (who already signed an MM Cast last year)

MM CAST 20 - DJ SCM

Back to the purest Disco sound in our new episode of MM Cast, brought to you by Maurizio Schiró, also known as DJ SCM. Born in Palermo but based in Berlin, Maurizio has grown in the Berlin underground scene alongside his own imprint 'WATAJ,' through which he has released a significant number of tracks under different aliases like Enzo Conoga, Tony Pianola, Mariella Novanta, Mimmo Stella, and Santo Piccante. Records where disco and balearic go hand in hand, delivering a fresh, original, and highly addictive sound. Releases like ' Paesaggi Immaginary,' and the mini album ' Introducing Tony Pianola in Luce Artificiale' speak for themselves about DJ SCM's elegance, although undoubtedly 'Estoy Totalmente Loca por ti' was the record that definitively put him in the spotlight of the scene with that mix of 90's balearic and italian dream house that literally 'turned us crazy'

Without further ado, we present you with the universe of DJ SCM, more than an hour of pure Disco sound (only vinyl) well seasoned and influenced by his native Italy. Grab a "birra", feel yourself like being in Palermo and let's make the summer never ends.

MM CAST 25 - Sibson

This month we present Sibson, originally from Leeds but currently based in Lisbon. The English DJ and producer showcases his undeniable talent when it comes to musical selection.

From beginnings in punk, Mikey has developed a distinct sound over the years in which he explores the sharper side of leftfield club music while embracing darker sounds like acid, EBM, or italo.

MM CAST 25 - Sibson

We've rescued this days an -almost forgotten- live recording from Sisyphos last year Anniversary. This Duck house has become a very special place during the last couple of years. While cameras are not permitted in the Berlin club scene, this recording offers a glimpse into the club's atmosphere.

Moon & Mann - Live at Sisyphos Anniversary 2023

It's a pleasure for us to present one of the most awaited albums of the MM Saturns saga, a record on which we have been working for almost 3 years, and it finally sees the light.

Corben introduces us to "Peachland," an introspective retro-futuristic journey where early electro and downtempo go hand in hand in order to create a cybernetic vision of the '80s subculture. It's like an inner spaceship that immerses you in infinite space, allowing you to reach unknown universes. 

Pure no-wave nostalgia filled with contagious vocoders and hypnotic synthesizers that shape a dreamlike and unsettling landscape, in which Corben shows us what could be the most sentimental and human side of an imaginary and futuristic artificial intelligence.
