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!

PREMIERE355 // Mahkina - Autonomy

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!

Give Me Tonight

CYRK - Nuit Blanche & Lunettes Noires

PREMIERE : Alberto Melloni - Stroken
Release date : 29/02/24
Format : Digital
Buy : trampoliner.bandcamp.com/album/trampa015-stroken-ep

Alberto Melloni, Rimini's unsung Italo hero is a versatile DJ/producer and multi-instrumentalist with an eye for glistening basslines and groovy vibes.

TRAMPA0015 - Picture a neon-soaked cityscape under a starry sky, with palm trees swaying to a pulsating beat. In the foreground, a sleek sports car speeds down a futuristic highway, leaving streaks of light in its wake. Electric magenta, cyan, and violet hues create a lively atmosphere, capturing the essence of Alberto's infectious rhythms and glamorous retro-futurism.

Since the name of the EP is 'Stroken' we simply had to call in Storken for a remix, a match made in heaven, if heaven was filled with disco balls on a party boat cruising through the Balearic Islands.

Lavion, french producer and DJ based in Hossegor, makes his debut on Ulla Records with his EP “Decorporation” !

A true old school synthesizers and drum machines aficionado, and a multi skilled musician with years of solo and band experiences, he has built himself his own synth space station where he can craft his hypnotizing and driving tunes. 

With this EP, built around the concepts of life, death and the afterlife, he wanted to explore themes that go behind our grasp of reality, such as cosmos, frequencies and energies, traveling endlessly through space and time, and how they’re all linked to our own existences. 

These meditations take the shape of five italo, EBM, and trance infused tracks, finely balancing euphoria and nostalgia, wandering from thrilling and colourfull bits to dreamy and melancholic atmospheres.

REMIX CONTEST CDH (Chineurs de House)

🇬🇧
Far from Sweely's original minimal-acid-house signature, I have worked on some italo-trance-rave hybrid, and, as you may have noticed, subtlety has never been my forte.
I've been influenced a lot by the great Kendal (among others), but also early Trance from the 90's which has been my 'guilty pleasure' lately. See for yourself!

🇫🇷
Très loin de l'aspect minimal acid house de l'original, j'ai opté pour un hybride italo-trance-rave (appelez cette chimère comme vous le voulez) et comme vous l'aurez remarqué, je ne fais pas dans la dentelle ou la subtilité. 
Quant à mes influences, on peut citer le génial @kendal3000 (entre autres) ou encore la trance des années 'nonante' qui est dernièrement mon guilty pleasure. Jugez par vous même.
