Kazakhstan-born, Tbilisi-based artist @avivx explores the sounds of Chicago house and 90s trance in his new single 'Love Lockdown'. This highly danceable, synth-driven and emotional track reflects on the feelings of lockdown blues and isolation, yet, climaxing with an uplifting melody, leaves the listeners in a hopeful spirit.

As detailed in his interview with German publication Froh Froh, “the interview with Narciss was different. Colorful Hawaiian shirt instead of matt black, nicotine chewing gum instead of butt. In terms of content between kitsch, cutie, but also serious - no intrusive promo.”

This freshness truly comes across in his latest EP for Lobster Theremin. Dear Diary - releasing on June 4th - is an emotionally charged journey through smoked-filled rooms and packed-out corridors; lasers, strobes and wide eyes. As much a throwback to the golden era of trance as it is an ode to the producers techno aesthetic, it encapsulates an energy release - an escape from the grimness of the mundane, the fear of contemporary society left at the door as we venture further front left.

‘Ludmilla’ gets things started; a cut of tranced-out, progressive techno that builds and builds, emotional vocal stabs (“I need you”) further enhancing the connection between body and mind, listener and selector. ‘Tall People’ follows a similar route - deeper into the trance revival that has seen artists like Bliss Inc, New Members and Marlon Hoffstad producing some timelessly similar euphoria - it’s scenic techno, if the scene was an anime figure racing across a field on horseback.

The steady 4x4 rhythms are replaced on ‘It Gets Easier’; fast-paced sentiment that floats somewhere between breaks and garage, wrapped up in that signature trancey texture, before 'Blicke' featuring Ikki Mel shows us the door with a completely different take on the previous three moods; this time offering up an altogether harder showcasing of the rave sound with its classic synth stabs and uncompromising kicks.

PREMIERE: Narciss - Ludmilla (LT083)

PRE-ORDER: https://linktr.ee/neuspectrum

New Spectrum is an alias garnering influences from big beat producers The Chemical Brothers, to house musician Thomas Bangalter and all the way to the synth pop band Yazoo. The Irish born, Berlin based producer’s debut under this alias is a two track EP of intense energy, italo basslines, piano and big synthlines. 

‘Secret Highway’  is a blend of synth pop, breaks and a vocal reminiscent of Alison Moyet, all combined to make a fresh take on the edgy sound of the 80’s. ‘Home Vacation’ takes a different approach with sweeping pads, strings and multiple layers of melodies to make up a zestful and fun party track. Out on the self-titled New Spectrum imprint

Premiere: New Spectrum 'Home Vacation'

Following on from the rapturous ‘Understand' - new single 'You've Got Me' sees Mona Vale take things a little deeper and a shade darker - whilst still channelling that all-important, signature playfulness. Compact, low-slug bass; on-point brass sampling and vocals cunningly wielded as instruments are the order of the day here; as we see the duo carve out their very own ode to the 3am strobe-lit dance-floor.
