The Juan MacLean is on the channel with a bute of a track. Powerful sound, driving synths, pristine mixing, pure bliss! The track was made to be played in his first setback at his home base of Good Room in Brooklyn, New York, with the excitement of thinking about dancing again in mind. 

This title is part of The Lot Radio's first-ever release for its fifth anniversary.

@beyond-the-struttosphere

Beyond The Struttosphere is a sonic collaboration between two London-based DJs combining their considerable musical production experience with an insatiable passion for cosmic chugging dark disco.

The cosmonauts embark on their most ambitious journey yet with the release of ‘Odyssey-10’ on Emerald & Doreen records. True to its name, the lead track evokes an epic space voyage propelled by driving arpeggiators, chunky layered percussion, high-octane guitar hits and the signature BTS chug bassline.

The tune progresses into a tectonic breakdown heightened by
spacey Juno chords before launching into a dynamite crescendo that burns contrails through the atmosphere.

Remixes are provided by two bastions of the scene: Mexican dark wave star
Vongold introduces lustful celestial vocals into the mix, dialling down the tempo, and repurposing the track into a post-punk acid chugger that takes no prisoners. French dark disco connoisseur Badknife applies his masterful touch with a second remix, cranking up the throb and deploying interstellar synth arrangements that will have you reaching for your seatbelt.

The duo venture into uncharted territory with ‘Satellite Cities’, a collaboration with cosmic queen Miss Zagato. Undoubtedly their funkiest production to date, this galactic chugger is a hypnotic blend of funky guitar plucks, electrifying stabs and groovy riffs, underpinned by Miss Zagato’s intoxicating lyrics that transport you to the moon in a hypersonic X-15. Building in momentum and complexity, the track climaxes with a mesmerising vocal chorus, elevated by cosmic synth melodies and a resonating mid-range bass that will echo for aeons to come.

The original is backed by a sublime remix from Spanish electronic virtuoso, Ivan Fabra, whose take re-imagines the track as a pulsating Balearic dancefloor anthem loaded with powerful drums and ethereal pads that melt into the sunset.

The EP concludes with ‘Storming Heaven’, a sonically charged acid trip that adventures through the cosmos, guided by a weighty chugging bass, a psychedelic 303 line, tripped out guitar chords and an array of cosmic FX. The tune traverses two mystical breakdowns before ascending into stratospheric planes with a euphoric synth sequence and a staggering guitar solo courtesy of long-time BTS collaborator Stannard Procedure. Strap in!

X-PRESSINGS #017: Got Another Thing Comin' (Beyond The Struttosphere Cosmic Rework)

Beyond The Struttosphere blast back into orbit with the release of ‘Planet Ogo’ on Discolypso. The title track is inspired by progressive trance and fuses a driving chug bassline with a hypnotic 303 sequence, distorted techno stabs and a trifecta of meandering arpeggiators, creating a wormhole through space and time. Thunderous power chords and nuanced percussion layering guide the track towards a cosmic void, echoing with mind-bending vocal samples from the cult sci-fi film ’12 Monkeys’, before a high-voltage crescendo transports you to the Planet Ogo. Remixes are provided by two masters of the scene: South Korean cosmic disco royalty, Shubostar, applies her trademark sound, introducing playful melodies, kinetic arps and retro-futuristic synths that elevate its seismic breakdown into outer space. Spanish new wave maestro, K-Effect, provides a more psychedelic contribution, weaving in tripped-out FX, clinical drum arrangements and low-end synths that propel the tune towards its ominous conclusion.
 
‘Cosmic Stuntman’, the second offering, is as intrepid as its name suggests. The first half is a minimalist soundscape defined by crunchy guitar riffs, energetic tambourines, cowbells and an array of spacey FX, before the second opens in throttle with a ferocious mid-range bass, cutting snares and cosmic pads that build in magnitude as the track reaches its spellbinding climax. Dionigi, alumnus of Italian cosmic sound movement, remixes the track into a low-slung chugger complete with glitchy vocoders that resemble scrambled UFO transmissions.
 
The EP concludes with bonus remixes of BTS back catalogue hits. ‘Replicants’, originally released on Mélopée Records in 2021, is resurrected by Berlin-based electronic rock n’ roll band, Tegel Boys, who transform the track into a krautrock-infused kosmiche space odyssey perfect for tuned-in psychic travellers. Mexican dark wave legend, Rigopolar, follows with a tranced-out remix bolstered by robotic arpeggiators and mechanical guitars that propel you to Mach-10. Completing the package are reinterpretations of ‘Storming Heaven’ which first appeared on Emerald & Doreen Recordings and pays homage to Jay Steven’s eponymous book on LSD and the American dream. Argentinian dark disco producer and member of Ralph Lawson’s 2020 Soundsystem, Julian Sanza, cranks up the funk and reconfigures the track into a Balearic sunset trip. UK godfather of chug Rich Lane isolates the original’s soaring guitar solo and reimagines the track into a mesmerising downtempo chugger tinged with psychedelia.

Strapontin - French Meat Feat. Josell

Vegas, the city of sin, the place where Presley went to set his soul on fire, the place where Nick Cage went to drink himself to death, the little man made purgatory in the Nevada Desert, within close range of the test sites of the Manhattan Project, the Science project which gave birth to the nuclear bomb. If something is Banned in Vegas you have to assumme it's so bad that it's good!
Blume Attempt's 'Hark Back (live)' is the final offering from the Series One tape compilation, which offers up a slow burner which sit's somewhere between Thomas Bangaltar's thee from Irreversible, and Mark Lannegan. Vicious saturated synth lines lay seductively beneath a subtle acid line which ironically starts to become more apparent at about 3 minutes 3 seconds. Something which your average techno nerd wouldn't fail to see the irony in. 
With a beast of a kick drum and a snare which hits so hard it makes you jump out of your skin, this track is spooky, fuzzy and awash with weird and wonderful vocals which only add to the idea that this track should not be banned anywhere, let alone in Vegas.

Kitschy Kitsch - Together (N.O.Y Remix)

Basic Instinct - I Am My Own Ghost

Exclusive Mufti - Impasse

Curses' 13 tracks heavy compilation International Waters Vol. 1 for his Ombra International label musically portrays how the past, present and future of the darker Disco with a pinch of New Wave, Post-Punk and Italo Disco could sound like – driving, pulsating, genre-blending music that makes you want to leave the sofa and follow your ordinary weekend routine, namely that of dancing in dark sweaty clubs until the day light. Mufti's contribution Impasse, French for dead end, is the exit strategy for all those initially mentioned genre-lovers. With rockish guitar riffs, a typical smashing discoid bassline Impasse combines the best of many (musical) worlds and puts the different pieces meaninfully together to come up with an impressive track that exploits its six and a half minutes fully and dedicates itself to dance. 

International Waters Vol. 1 will be released on Ombra International on May 1st, 2020.
