Alex Aguayo is Mahkina (SXDNS038), a moniker through which the Mexican rising star explores his 90s influences by delivering a sonority more devoted to Trance and early Rave combined with shards of Cosmic Disco. What a concoction, isn’t it? With previous appearances on vital labels such as Haunted Space, DistroKid, Maleante, and U’re Guay, he is now back on the Montevideo-based multi-genre imprint with a trippy and frenzied release: The EP consists of three highly mighty originals and three well-constructed remixes made with love by Gala, Manuel Sahagun, and Imanol, the label boss himself.

The track we chose to review/premiere is maybe the one that best expresses what Alex really intends to deliver under his new alias. “Autonomy” is above all hypnotic and feverish – exactly what is expected from the combination of his Trance & Rave influences. From his Cosmic Disco references, psychedelic and churning melodies supplied by the beautiful arpeggiated synth layers. The result: A peak-time cut devoted to putting big smiles on people’s faces!

On Polari 019 , Cormac welcomes Jordan Nocturne to his imprint Polari: Dolly EP Drops Digitally on October 27th. The iconic imprint is set to unleash a three-track playful force.

Jordan Nocturne on the release and meeting Cormac;

“I first encountered Cormac about 15 years ago when I was a resident at an after-hours queer party called Yello and he was a regular guest. Many years later we bonded over high energy house and disco. I thought it was a nice touch to pay homage to those times, and there's another tip of the hat to Belfast party starters Ponyhawke who have carried the mantle for diverse and inclusive dancefloors in Belfast here in 2023.  The lead track is a collaboration with a Ukrainian artist, Ready in LED and it had Polari written all over it. Olya is a superstar and I’m very excited to be working with her.”

Ready in LED who has recently released on Polari herself, has made a stellar contribution to Jordan‘s forthcoming EP, she lends her extraordinary vocal prowess to the opening track, "Over & Over," infusing it with captivating strength. As the EP unfolds, "Yello" and "Ponyhawke" follow suit, as Jordan embarks on a playful journey of reinterpreting and paying homage to the rich legacy of Hi-NRG...  more

Jordan Nocturne feat Ready In LED - Over & Over

Words by Frankmusic:

Gals and pals: we are about to embark on a sonic journey into the depths of darker indie dance music with AFIN, the musical alter ego of Alexander Franz. AFIN's new release on Frank Music features two mesmerizing tracks, "Give Me Tonight" and "Let the Sun In," accompanied by a remix by CN:VX. Get ready to immerse yourself in a world of chopped vocal samples and an undeniably captivating atmosphere. "Give Me Tonight" immediately captures the listener into AFIN's unique universe with its compelling blend of high riding Italo basslines and hypnotic rhythms. AFIN's ability to balance darkness and warm grooves is truly commendable, making "Give Me Tonight" a must-listen for anyone seeking a deeper and more evocative experience on the dancefloor. "Let the Sun In" takes the adventure further, offering an irresistible acidic groove infused with AFIN's signature vocals, along with a surprising addition of sonic disco strings that elevate the tension and intrigue. CN:VX's remix of "Let the Sun In" adds a fresh and sing-a-along-perspective, injecting new pop energy while maintaining the track's enigmatic allure. We can't wait for more Alex!

Hot on the heels of Sprechen’s debut release from Damon Jee which found favour amongst names such as Ivan Smagghe, Justin Robertson, Nick Warren, Jacques Renault & Kasper Bjorke comes the follow up from label boss & founder Chris Massey!

The Pink Flamingo EP kicks of with a no frills, straight up powerhouse pumper in the form of “You Are Divine” which tips the hat at the self proclaimed “Filthiest Person Alive”….a big bubbling Hi-Nrg style workout with added keys & cosmic drenched weirdo drum sounds (courtesy of the Emperor Machine) ensures that more than just the top shirt button will be getting undone during this campaign.

This is followed by “Floor To The Four” which takes the jackin baton and goes for gold….cut up & stuttered vocals from a Chicago producer are scattered across a full on 909 workout that leads to a drop where said producer explains the inner workings of certain studio toys….one for the geeks & the freaks….all are invited!

ROTCIV gets busy on remix duty for Floor To The Four and brings all his Berlin based wisdom to the party to deliver a whole much darker affair which belongs in the deepest of darkrooms…the addition of piano lightens the mood whilst still keeping one foot firmly in the mist…lovely stuff.

Love & Danger in Paradise is an amalgamation of ZF's cultural fascinations. Inspired by likes of Vice City, Drive and Giorgio Moroder, for our annual themed compilation project, we sought out artists that create and craft neo-nostalgic sounds.

A retro musical direction drove the selection process, pulling tracks from italo-disco and indie dance genres. Each of the twelve hand-picked artists added a distinctive sonic uniqueness to the album. Cosmic, groovy and melodic club-ready works, all designed to timewarp the aural sense.

This curated collection musters up visions of midnight road trips, neon-lit city wanderings and dark disco discotheques, because in reality - what hath night to do with sleep?
