In this electrifying 2024, we're buzzing with excitement as we celebrate 40 years of Flexi, the record emporium that's weathered countless storms amidst the ever-shifting tides of the music industry, catering to vinyl aficionados across the ages. Alongside the raves and swag, no doubt, there's a killer compilation dropping on the indie label "Flexi Cuts," dubbed evocatively as "Musica Solida" spread across 3 or perhaps 4 12-inch samplers, boasting a carefully curated selection of singles from cherished Flexi-affiliated artists and producers. The vision? To cultivate a virtuous movement of sublime tunes, echoing the fervor and zeal to persist within the realm of quality that Flexi embodies within the Italian scene, alongside kindred spirits... despite the daunting challenges of the market in recent years.

Following their first ‘DJ TOYS’ compilation, that was celebrated by DJ Mag, played at Berghain several times and drew support from DJs like Âme, Avalon Emerson, Barker, Baumecker and Ben Sims, queer feminist party collective and record label TOYS Berlin are back with their second ‘DJ TOYS’ installment. Representing the boundary-pushing sound spectrum of the TOYS universe, up-and-coming producers DAEDE, Eklekta, ASA 808, Jon Selbo, Jakob Mäder and OSO are transcending UK bass/garage, Trance and House in five forward-thinking underground gems.

This fast-paced, synth-driven track is a strong blend of energy and emotion. Troubleshoot Recordings co-founder Jon Selbo weaves together intricate layers of synthesized chords, driving baselines with ethereal vocal snippets that elevate the track, whilst adding layers of depth. With a tempo that relentlessly propels the listener forward, this song captures the essence of a night that refuses to end, embodying the euphoric highs and introspective lows of the club experience.

Bimini Road, out now: anjunadeep.lnk.to/MBBRas

Inspired by the discovery of the ruins of Atlantis at Bimini in the Bahamas, Moon Boots’ sophomore album Bimini Road is a joyous listen that combines elements of soulful & melodic house, disco, and R&B. The album includes the new single ‘Clear’ as well as recent summer anthems ‘Tied Up’ and ‘Juanita’, which have received airplay on SiriusXM, BBC Radio 1, triple j, KCRW, as well as DJ support from Claptone, Above & Beyond, The Black Madonna, Diplo and many more. ‘Juanita’ was premiered by Mixmag (who called the song ‘a show-stopper’), and the new video for ‘Clear’ is a retro-fantastic delight, check it out here.
As Pete of Moon Boots relates ‘Bimini Road is about discovering something new, and escaping from the everyday.  It’s a journey without a fixed destination, a road that could lead to a mythical paradise that’s ancient and yet futuristic. Or it might not! But that mystery is worth exploring. I experimented with lots of new styles and sounds but kept it grounded in what I do best. It’s an album with lots of dancefloor moments, and a lot of heart.’
Moon Boots’ debut album First Landing was a rare slow burn in today’s disposable music culture, steadily amassing a broad international following and an impressive 35 million streams since its release in August 2017. Praised by Mixmag for its ‘deep textures and funky melodies,’ First Landing has become a contemporary electronic masterpiece with support from Jason Bentley (KCRW) and Annie Mac (BBC Radio 1).
With Bimini Road, Moon Boots has brought back collaborators from both his debut album and his ambitious 7-person live show. Black Gatsby (“Power”), Nic Hanson (‘Keep The Faith’), and KONA (‘Fortune Teller’) all make appearances that help to make Bimini Road Moon Boots’ most compelling musical statement to date. Ross Clark (St Lucia) contributes guitar to three of the album’s hookiest and most affecting tracks. Moon Boots’ eagerness to bring melody and songcraft to unpredictable-but-accessible club grooves make him stand out in a crowded field of beatmakers and careerists.
The album also features new collaborators, including Little Boots, whose song ‘You Won’t See Me Cry’ carries echoes of Blondie, ABBA and Giorgio Moroder. LA-based pop chanteuse Niia, next-generation house diva Kaleena Zanders, and Gary Saxby of the Harlem Gospel Choir round out the list of guest vocalists.
Born in Brooklyn, Moon Boots gravitated toward music at an early age, spending many years playing piano, keyboards, and synthesizers before he ever made a beat. Inspired by legends like Frankie Knuckles, Derrick Carter and Paul Johnson, he moved to the home of house music, Chicago, where he played synth in an indie band and worked as a local DJ before aligning with the legendary French Express label for his earliest releases. Eventually signed to taste-making UK label Anjunadeep, Moon Boots has always stayed true to his mission of making infectious music that transcends genre. Songs not just for DJs and dance-floors, but for everyone.

Whisper In The Wind feat. Black Gatsby

Coming straight from the streets of Brooklyn / New York City is Rao, an electronic artist and producer on the rise but defo not a fresh face in the music industry at all. Formerly prone to heavy guitar based music as a member of several Metal band outfits and touring all across the United States Rao has taken a full on turn and is now ready to transform regular dancefloors into proper melodic hugpits of joy with his „Sun Gate EP".

The opening title cut „Sun Gate" sees Rao in full effect, starting out with a stretched, uplifting build up sequence and ever present, moving mid range synths in continuous interplay with tender melodic pads and patches, bringing forth a thought out balance of tension and relief, accompanied by a certain mystique whilst interestingly avoiding any potential climax before giving way to the next tune in the mix.

With „Sprinkles" Rao caters more of a deep melodic feel on a distinct TechHouse foundation, introducing layers upon layers of soft, blurry and dubbed out pads for a start before a stripped down main signal, all embracing organic groove and tender, yet slight aggressive and off-kilter midrange modulations add a slightly technoid counterpart element to the tunes all embracing friendliness.

Finally „Fallen Arches" explores outworldly terrain unfolding atop Rao's trademark sculpted TechHouse drums. Whipping percussive elements in the background, gated snares and hi-hats as well as a driving, synth bass are the basic structural elements on which ever moving strings and pads unfold, move and intertwine, bringing on an iridescent memory of beautiful sunrises, early morning sunrise Trance as well as everlasting love and world peace.
