My vinyl version of this took an absolute hammering back in the day

Release date: Feb.25/22

It's a pleasure to begin our new week with Egypt-born Barcelona-based Raxon as he returns to Maceo Plex's Ellum Audio with another cosmically minded techno EP from which we feature today's edgy broken beat bomb, Input Robot.

Raxon is at the forefront of the melodic techno scene thanks to always well-designed sounds on Diynamic, Kompakt, Cocoon and more. As a DJ, too, he explores an interplanetary sound that has seen him on the billing at influential festivals and clubs worldwide, from DGTL to Resistance Ibiza at Privilege.

He opens this one with the superb 'Input Robot,' a jostling broken techno groove laced up with sleek cosmic chords. Alien life forms live between the beats, and the elastic bass keeps you moving as the track rolls on through a turbulent night sky.

Then comes 'Mantis,' a terrifically twitchy and astral track. Robot vocals are stitched into the mix with turbo-charged synths and a looping bassline over heavy drums. It's the sound of intergalactic warfare with a real sense of electronic funk and cinematic design.

The ‘Input Robot EP’ is another innovative techno exploration from Raxon.

Chicken Lips - Do It Proper (Justin Robertson Remix)

Join us on a cosmic journey through house, techno, and electro as we celebrate an incredible five years of our label and festival! In 2019, Adam Rose, Jake Mora, and Kieran Ishimaru united under the YOON mission, bringing the best DJs and producers to the stunning Mojave Desert. This fall, we shift gears, moving the gathering to the lush forest of Pine Valley.

Our new compilation showcases familiar friends, fresh faces, and exciting new aliases/projects from our founders and residents. San Diego and the West Coast are brimming with untapped talent, and we can’t wait to unveil the gems hidden in producers’ laptops. This album honors the past while setting our sights firmly on the future.

Días de Campo Records presents its fourth EP by JNJS, the Ibiza residents and dynamic duo (no, they’re not brothers, but they could be). This EP is crafted for the dancefloor, featuring 3 original tracks and 2 remixes by the American dreamer and Barcelona-based Liquid Earth: with both Broken Boozer and Deep Twirler mix. LUCY EP hits your hips with a laser beam, created by day and enjoyed by night. The main single, “Lucy,” evolves into a ruthless warrior beyond human logic. Both “My Japanese Friend” and “We Play In Blue” transport you to specific space-time coordinates. Will you travel with us?

This release stands out for its seamless blend of innovative sound design and irresistible grooves, marking a new high for Días de Campo’s already impressive catalog. A must-listen for any serious electronic music enthusiast.

Time for a little neck bulging, slimy skin hip-slinking summer fun as a true craftsman steps from the studio shadows: Jay Shepheard, who’s back with a track that’s so infectious if you licked its back you’d trip for weeks.
Prepare yourselves for ‘Bullfrogging’: wry funk, warmth and humanised technoid soul. Taking a vocal texture then processing, harmonising and splicing the spawn out of it, Jay’s precision balance of electronic hustle and anthromorphised action has all the hallmarks for a summer anthem.
‘Early Doors’ follows suit and there’s a massive clue in the title… Soft-focused, warm, rolling and laced with textured chimes, it’s definitely tailored for those key transitions between warm-up and second gear. Deep, trippy but coded with a hookiness that grabs rather than soothes, once again it’s classic Shepheard but with a revitalised 2017 twist. Hey, he didn’t lock himself away in the studio for twelve months for nothing, right?
Neither did Jay’s long-time friend and neighbour Mark Henning; a man who hasn’t taken on a remix since the early 2010s. His return to the remix game is as poignant and powerful as Jay’s return to releases as he removes around 70 percent of the frog and maximises the bullishness of the elements, creating a relentless tribal slammer of a version that still retains the warmth and soul of Jay’s original.
Two returns to action, three killer tracks, one label you can always count on as your friend and no frogs harmed during the whole process. We’re pulling out some serious stops here.
