Refraction - New Life - [ Alberto Ruiz / Alexander Laurell ] RMX

The legendary Tony Rohr graces Phobiq with his presence and offers two tracks alongside his new partner-in-crime Layton Giordani. 
 The EP starts out with the sparse arrangement of &#8220;Careless Suggestions&#8221;, driven by a locomotive bassline and grinding rhythm section. Moody stabs reinforce the bleak vibe, and the vocals coming at us from otherworldly black holes only add to the mood. Label boss Sasha Carassi steps up for the remix in his trademarked stomping style, making use of hypnotic elements and the busy claps from the original. Industrial-sounding hi-hat action drives his interpretation all the way home, after an apocalyptic breakdown, of course. 
 On &#8220;Reggae Shiz&#8221; things are more stripped-down with bare drums holding everything together, as the rest of the arsenal slowly builds around menacing chords and a rocksteady groove. Behind the spotlight, liquid bass comes together with quirky percussion to complete this almost-10-minute-long opus. Dema maintains a sublime, shadowy mood in his version but opts for busier hats and heavier usage of chords.

Storming his way onto the label with these two projectiles Johann Smog takes full responsibility of this ravage. Caving in our monitors Nursery and B2 brought a clear message to our office which read - UPRIGHT CONCRETE TECHNO! We at Alleanza are now delighted to sit back, unwind and prepare ourselves for the aftermath as we share this delicate devastation with our high valued listeners.

It&#8217;s that time of the year when we&#8217;re extra excited, as our annual various artists compilation surfaces and showcases the route we&#8217;ve been on as well as the evolution of our sound. Never content with just one style, we&#8217;ve got everything from sleazy basslines and funked-out synths, courtesy of Tom Wax &amp; Rummy, to Anna&#8217;s locomotive &#8220;Fits Foil&#8221; and Crazy Sonic&#8217;s uplifting riffs. If you want to take a dive into powerful atmospheric territory, Rob Hes is your man, and since we&#8217;re on that subject G.Pal brings the melancholic synths to the table with &#8220;Round 2&#8221;. Nico Cabeza introduces UK Garage stabs to a dubbed-out affair, and we&#8217;re pretty confident that all bases are covered.
