Episode III of the Tarka Tapes has been lying on the shelves for quite some time. Since the weather is shit and we are hitting the clubs again, DJ Tarka felt like releasing this one for all the peeps that are craving some club vibes .

Tarka Tapes - Episode III

Enter Planet Dust's next release is our first album, courtesy of Manuel Jesus aka World Wild Web. His debut LP will follow lead single Cursed Fruits which drops on March 31st. 

World Wild Web's organ, guitar and drum machine-led music nods to the global Cosmic continuum, and explores themes of anxiety, overconsumption and Web 3.0. The album features creative and catchy vocal dance tracks in both English and French (Colony, La Nuit, Je Mange Des Animaux, The Best Is Yet To Come), scrappy guitar anthems (Pills, Don't Quit!, Scrolling) and exotic Cosmic joints aplenty (PA 2, M-Gola, Druid Dance). We at Planet Dust are reminded of the likes of Suicide, Rizan Sa'id, DJ Stefan Egger and more.

A beautiful thing about growing up in a smaller town, is that you eventually will bump into the few like minded people who live there. And when you do, you hold on.
Since school our click has slowly intertwined through different small underground gatherings. And now 20 years later we're still in the same scene making magic together.
Proud to introduce you to some of them here at Bøx Bøx first Various Artist Compilation.

$UN€ULT - Behind this alias we have Klas Isaksson, the devoted club arranger and techno producer, and his best friend DJ and producer Lex Ludlow. Together they explore music through long hours of deep talk, that result in moody deep electronic music. From the studio of Klas, they captured this 10 minutes long modular live jam, where they let the 909 stand firm with the 606 on top, and all softly combined with the amplitude of the jupiter 6, into this groovy sweet piece.

Benmir - Producer, live performer, DJ, and engineer at Softube. He has gained local recognition for curating various electronic events and live sets across the plains of Östergötland for the past decade. After years of waiting for his first release, we have finally seized this rare bird. 'Gungfly' is a track that draws inspiration from the areas of miry land, which occurs next to murky lakes in the northern parts of Sweden. This natural phenomenon is commonly used as a metaphor for a difficult situation, but in this track Benmir offers a broader perspective. With a silky smooth vesture and a heavy dubby groove Gungfly captures a beautiful soundscape.

Inter Gritty - The Random Island dad, that for 10 years has been releasing tasteful curated vinyls. He's been spreading love with his different alias at various clubs around europe, and been a central part of the electronic dance scene in Norrköping. His Lost and Found track has a driven electro builder with smooth moving pads and a pounding beat.

Zip n Rar - The duo that includes Joakim "Beebop" Nybom and Kim Nilson, who long ago started their limitless friendship in the band Slagsmålskubben. They have been making music and touring together, sharing homes and clothes and now finally releasing their love baby Zip n Rar. A project that's been lurking under the surface for 10 years. As pioneers of the electronic dance scene in Norrköping they had a great impact on the number of forthcoming talented musicians from our home town. Their track, 2 guns 1 cop is a dramatic meeting of a solid groove and their signature sounds, all merged in an interesting build up with frolic drops.

Lex Ludlow - When Lex found this crew, she was a tailor/designer, and through an art collective where they did parties and fashion shows together, she fell in love with the electronic dance scene. During the years, she did everything around music except producing. But when the lookdown slowed Lex down, she finally downloaded Ableton, and since that day, she's been stuck in the studio, releasing music and DJing frequently. Her track, My Love is a ruff and groovy tune with dull acid basslines fused with moving arpeggiated synth lines.

Osch - Producer, live performer and visual art creator. This man has been playing amazing live sets since the 00s. He has a way of bending electronic music into the dark unknown and
at the same time, letting a warm pad, or a melody embrace you with its glow. After his last gig at our local members club Evigheten, we were swept away by this unforgiven raw force, and we kindly asked if we could pick it out from the live set straight into this Family Portrait VA.

Enjoy these solid bricks from the ground of Norrköping, Sweden. Peace n Love,
Bøx Bøx

PREMIERE : $UN€ULT - Chunky Cherry Jam

We are back on digital and do it properly with a new solid EP, made up by five original electronic tracks plus a killer remix, from the milanese duo nICo & GrandRiviera.

The album "Light Echoes" is the result of a long time collaboration between childhood friends Niccolò Gobbi and Federico Civardi.
The project was born back in 2019, when the duo met for a jamming session at Federico’s studio and began to experiment with machines and rhythms. A few sessions later, the structure of "Disco Paradiso" was completed, becoming the track of the EP that they feel the most connected to because it marked the beginning of this adventure.
"Heat-Haze Controller", "Stalled Memory", "Heavy Cycle" and "Cosmic Orchestra" followed it shaping the concept behind this work: the exploration of vary sonic sensations, enriched by bold basslines, distorted industrial pads, rarefied synthesizers and acid sounds, creating an ethereal atmosphere.

It took a few years to take this EP to completion, which was entirely produced in the same way it started: at Federico's studio, featuring sounds from a bunch of analog synths and FX such as Roland SH201, Crumar Cougar (an organ from 1969!), Korg Minilogue, Model D and Pro1, Roland JU-60A, Nord Drums and Roland Space Echo, plus some beloved VSTs like Roland 303 and various samples.
Their mutual love towards spacey electronica is always the focus, while maintaining a dance approach that is a relevant part of their composing process.

Acclaimed french Dj and producer Romain FX completes the release offering a stompy interpretation of "Stalled Memory", giving it a little Italo touch with an acid character and a rolling bassline to provide ecstatic dancefloor moments.

PREMIERE: nICo & Grand Riviera - Cosmic Orchestra  [Taste Rec.]

Cosmic Terroir #2 is an album of adventurous, unbridled tones to be enjoyed without moderation with the beer of the same name that goes with it. A drink raised with the sounds of the label, a little soaring, a little acid, like the music.
9 tracks signed by artists from 9 different countries, to stretch out and relax to a slow, psychedelic tempo. Then a beat also comes along, gently driving and exhilarating.

Artist: @witnessprotectionprogram
Track:  U Am I Are
Label: https://soundcloud.com/witnessprotectionprogram
Format: Digital, EP
Release date:29/9/23
YouTube: https://youtu.be/aNF6wYBA3cY

U Am I Are is based around a massive bass line that glides effortlessly upwards and downwards through most of the track and four words/syllables that try to blur the lines that separate us on the dancefloor. The result is a hypnotic and exhilarating journey that invites you to lose yourself in the rhythm.
a hanging from Another Porch is a classic WPP chugger. It blends together a fierce industrial beat with dubby bass lines and sweet and optimistic synth parts that shimmer and sparkle. The track creates a dynamic tension between the harsh and the gentle, the dark and the light, the rough and the smooth.

A longtime contributor of the label, ex-Cologne based / freshly Lithuania-relocated producer Nikita von Tiraspol returns to Noorden with his new cassette album, »Iki Pasimatymo!«, which is his way to say ›goodbye‹ to the city he called home for many years. Following up to his 2019-issued solo tape »Was Lucifer More Beautiful Than Adonis?«, this new effort from the German producer has us embarking on a multi-faceted ride down kaleidoscopic rapids of downtempo, jungle, folk and electronica narratives, all rolled into one luxuriant tableau of variably lit and emotionally versatile fluctuations. Pure dreaminess is on with the chimey »My Mind During Night«, where brittle bells peal joyfully as we depart for all-blue and peaceful ocean-like territories.

Spazio returns after a year break with a new release from Pavel Fedoseev, the famous drummer of Gnoomes and a talented representative of electronic music from Perm. His project KIKOK brings you a surreal sound that mixes intoxicating electronica, techno and new beat music.

Cacao Beach is a surreal synth sound that is a trippy and wonky mix of intoxicating electronica, techno, and newbeat music. One of the standout tracks on this release is ""Cacao Beach"". It's a driving and tantalizing bass tune with a melody stuck in your head that won't leave you indifferent. The remix by our resident Moonoton adds even more drive and makes it a club new beat hit.

If you want to go on a high-energy night journey, the track ""Flight In The Night"" is perfect for that. The remix by Yakovets makes this track even more hypnotic as if you were in Gaspar Noé's films.

And the closing track ""Silver Pan"" is a real techno-thriller that will keep you in your seat. The bass line of this track just grabs you and doesn't let you go until the end."
