Paradise Loops 050 w/ Danny Vito

Soul - Track 6

A new chapter of the RONU sound.
Dark, hypnotic techno built on global percussion, sub-heavy drive, and cinematic atmosphere. Each track is a journey — pulsing 4/4 kicks, ancestral log drum echoes, metallic stabs, and haunting drones stretching through infinite warehouse space.

This series fuses Amapiano swing, Durban Gqom weight, and relentless techno pressure — layered with whistles, tribal shakers, and whooshing bass that breathes like an air hangar moving air. Minimal melodies rise and dissolve into haze, while percussion locks bodies into trance.

These aren’t just tracks — they’re rituals. Industrial rhythm fused with ancestral memory. A soundscape made for late-night festivals, underground basements, and movement without end.

RONU signature: cinematic depth, global textures, bass pressure, and percussive grit.

Brooklyn’s HOMAGE delivers the ‘Post Meridian’ EP by Stranded this December, comprising six originals from the American artists.

Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia in the United States, Stranded’s material blurs the lines between post-punk, house and nu-disco resulting in an amalgamation of sounds and something unexpected. Here we see Stranded deliver their latest works, entitled the ‘Post Meridian’ EP, via Brooklyn’s HOMAGE imprint, the ever-evolving imprint which often shines a light on undiscovered talents and obscure sounds from across the globe in many different pockets of electronic music.

Title-cut ‘Post Meridian’ leads, laying down shuffled drums, noodling strings, funk-infused bass and vintage synth sounds alongside hypnotic vocal lines. ‘Cherry Fortune’ then shines a light on Stranded’s post-punk, new wave influences with woozy guitars, elongated bass tones and washed out vocals. ‘Yesterday’s Silence’ follows, bringing things back to the dance floor via a swinging drum groove, spiralling guitar licks and intricately unfolding synth and vocal work.

Fellow Atlanta based artist Stefan Ringer steps up next to rework ‘Post Meridian’, stamping his own twist on things with dusty drum sounds and enchanting synth work ebbing and flowing around the heart of the original. ‘Glass Shock’ shifts focus over to gritty guitar tones, fuzzy vocals and bumpy drums next before ‘Canal Breaks’ then completes the package, embracing a contrastingly downtempo aesthetic with snaking bass grooves, surf rock-tinged psychedelia on the guitar elements and as the name would suggest break driven drums.

The element of surprise sparks the imagination as Afterlife defy everyday expectation by virtue of Resistance. Or to put into Steve Miller’s own words: Resistance to any person or thing that in any way degrades the natural experience of human life on this planet is a necessary balancing force at this point in our evolution.

This moment’s decay is bound up with a longing for a better tomorrow. The impulse of that feeling beats throughout the heart of each track with the music proposing a revolution in culture: freedom to think for yourself. That defining, searing intensity is then hardwired directly into the soul of the title track Resistance, its reference to the fractured dream of Detroit alongside the percussive punctuation of Afterlife’s Balearic notation infuse the music with the spirit of meaning, speaking in wordless motion. Dancing to the tune of fierce percussion amid swirls of atmospheric intensity, plus the grainy resolution of bass, Steve’s brilliant series of EP’s are now elevated into another realm of possibility by defiantly exercising a resistant return to the dancefloor.

Antifearance seeks to reverse the climate of fear charged by a barrage of roaring synthesizers primed and set to stun. It’s excitable escapade in demanding rhythms roll out across the floor reaching a tantalising, uncompromising conclusion igniting a playfully subversive Afterlife in the process (while remembering the provocative echo of Patrick Cowley).

A most welcome addition on this release are the two remixes of Resistance featuring Deep House evangelists, Hardway Bros. Inspired by the originals escape into subterranean adventure the motor city is again alluded to by the brush of timeless basslines and drum machines - their use of the words Transmat Dub speaks volumes. The results are needless to say inspired and inspiring…

PREMIERE: Afterlife - Resistance

Shane McNamara a.k.a. Dunning Krueger is an ambitious DJ and producer based in Edinburgh, Scotland. With his laidback manner and desire to create, he’s attracted a fanbase of house and garage fans worldwide.

After honing his skills over a number of years, Shane finally felt ready to launch a new alias to showcase his new improved sound, and Dunning Krueger was born. His debut release ‘Jump to It’ achieved strong positions in 3 Beatport charts, amongst fierce competition, and was featured in Apple Music's ‘The Underground’ playlist with support from Renato Cohen, 9th House, Shadow Child and DJ Barely Legal.

Dunning Krueger’s versatile sound falls somewhere between a mix of house, garage and 2-step. If there were any words to describe his sound, he admits ‘sunny vibes’ would be appropriate.

As well as being a talented DJ and producer, Shane is also an accomplished video director, producing videos for the likes of Mr Beatnick (Mythstery), Reuben Keeney a.k.a. Rebuke (Toolroom Records), FaltyDL (Ninja Tune) and Last Magpie (Me Me Me).

His DJ skills have led him to hold a vinyl only bi-monthly residency at Basement Sate in Soho, and he’s enjoyed a bi-monthly vinyl only show for 2 years on Music Box Radio, and has graced the turntables at Farr Festival on several occasions.

On the music production front his most successful release to date is the ‘Jump to It E.P.’ on Waze and Odyssey’s ‘Street Tracks’ Label. And entering a remix competition for Man Power, resulted in the release being signed to Me Me Me as part of a compilation to raise money for NHS Charities.

Currently Shane is working hard on a label project for a vinyl/digital concept series with a host of great names already onboard. And Dunning Krueger’s future looks bright, with forthcoming E.P's on Stepback Records, Renato Cohens label Massa (Brazil), a follow up E.P. for Street Tracks and a single on Dawn State.

The Bside of... Toy Tonics

This is one of those episodes that we’ve been excited to bring you for a while now! 
“The Bside of…” mixtapes so far have proven to be up there with our best and this one is certainly no different. 

We are transporting you to Germany to place you in the very capable hands of co-founder Kapote, he stands out as a brilliant producer and selector in his own right so it’s a privilege to have him guide us through a playlist of his very own favourites from The Bside of… Toy Tonics!!!

Since 2015 Toy Tonics have been breathing a breath of fresh air into soul and disco, with their tasteful edits and carefully curated new productions making them possibly the hottest record label to recently emerge from Germany. Their style is an infectious fun that can explode into euphoric joy on any dance floor across the world.
Beyond their releases they have proven themselves as one of Europe’s best parties, with the Toy Tonics Jam series inviting many of the label's favourite artists to do their thing at the best clubs across the continent.

Toy Tonics now has over 100 releases, EPs, Albums, Compilation Series, Edits and Original Productions. They are as prolific as they are consistently excellent, and they always aim to push the boundaries of “new house and futuristic electronic dance music”.

The Toy Tonics roster includes founders Munk and Kapote, COEO, Whitesquare, Blackloops, PBR Streetgang, Demuja, Felipe Gordon, FYI Chris, Dimitri from Paris, Phenomenal Handclap Band, not to mention some previous guests Rhode & Brown, and Jad & The. Not bad huh!

The most recent release certainly lives up to the high expectations that TT sets itself: Mushroom House Vol.1 which is compiled by our very own Bside host Kapote.

Check it out on their website: https://www.toytonics.de/2020/11/20/kapote-pres-mushroom-house-vol-1-toyt115/

We can tell you that it is Cody Curry's first solo EP on Toy Tonics, and is titled 'Moves EP', featuring Eliza Rose on the vocals on the main track. Each track sounds beautiful, filled with 'atmospheric garage-y broken beat territory as an ode to his London roots. Rich chords, catchy hooks and hard hitting rhythms.'

Analog Advisory Sessions 067: Mystigrix

@art-alfie, the eminent Swedish mastermind of unconditionally funky house blesses us with the privilege of two of his somewhat “out-there” house tracks. Two functional tools with maximum wonky-ness that will completely obliterate dance floors. The EP is released by Bigges District — a label run by Stockholm producers Ari Bald, Gudding and CJ Scott. Art Alfie’s enrollment on the label’s digital imprint DIGGES is a follow up on the series “Klubbdubbar”. 

The EP takes off with ”Diana” — a house gadget made in collaboration with Måns Glaeser. “Diana”s ringing and chronometric synthesizer sounds and latin infused bass line stipulates a hefty and arid groove filled with color. On the flip “Libido Rising” enters. The tracks crooked and precarious character tosses the listener into a chaotic and tumultuous disposition. A brusque and wandering bassline accompanied by sprightly and agile jazz infused percussion culminates into this vigorous number.

Date of release: 25/3–2021
Digital and BandCamp only.
