UK producer Louis De Tomaso pushes a vibrant retro sound that’s laced with euphoric intention and has received support from the likes of Krystal Klear, Jennifer Cardini, Kendal, Pablo Bozzi, Tiger and Woods, Perel and Cormac. He comes up trumps here with two new tracks for the well-reputed Exploited imprint.

Channeling classic Eurodance and Italo, ‘Malfunction’ is a riot of a track that’s brimming with strong melodies and motifs. Within seconds you’re assaulted by an array of potent lines weaving away under ticking hi-hats and roomy snare hits, swelling to a tremendous intensity before the undulating bassline rocks in. Big arpeggios, fizzing chords, soaring leads and dramatic riffs abound, with never a dull moment in this super-colourful track. All is woven together seamlessly, erupting like a volcano as the melodies transpose to higher octaves as the track progresses. Any one of these riffs would be strong enough to be the lead refrain on any given track. Louis De Tomaso’s generous spirit instead packs them all into a huge 5 minutes and 40 seconds.

‘Prince’, a track that lay unfinished for nearly 5 years, is more on the hi-NRG tip. Given a new lick of paint by De Tomaso, it’s driven by a camp, sugary lead riff that bursts through the mix like a buzzsaw. Chugging bass arpeggios provide more forward-thrust as the spacious beats hammer away and classic ravey synth sounds hammer out a delightful selection of colourful hooks. A huge build where pitch risers meet rapid-fire claps sends the track rocketing into the ether, exploding in a rainbow of colour. Fun levels are maxxed out on this one.

AEON is happy to welcome thePhilosophica to the family. With all three coming from different fields and backgrounds they converged into
a musical trifinium.

What had begun as a ‚let’s-see-what-happens‘- situation developed into a
permanent collaboration with one intention: making music that reflects and portrays their diversity and makes it accessible to radically different environments and junctures.
We proudly present a stunning 4 Tracker EP with Remixes from Aheadacheaday and the infamous Chinaski.

“The Straussian Method” is inspired by the belief in the almost infinite malleability of human kind “The Straussian Method” was born restless. Dragging basslines from the sewers and dripping sultry acid lines from the ceiling, TSM condemn those who live in a world of illusions and self-deception.

“Rhetorical Procedure” is a simulation, is the form of the future that deals with what may happen. Sharp snares and eloquent pads set the perfect canvas for the acidic brushstrokes in desperate need to establish that change is possible.

Aheadacheaday Remix of “The Straussian Method” brings the raw breakbeat drum-work with his electro remix on “The Straussian Method”. Based on cynicism and irony to critique his surroundings, distorted bass lines take control to expose the filthy shame of mortals).

Known for his works on Running Back and Dischi Autunno, Chinaski’s Remix brightening of “The Straussian Method” occurs when he takes the rotten elements from the original version, and by a process of RetroSYNTHesis, he sets the High Energy vibe and gives us back the faith in humanity.

PREMIERE - Sahar - Dust (Dominik Marz Remix) (Paradiso records)

Pinorama starts this 2023 with Kielmannsegge’s latest remix delivery. A style cocktail ranging from nervous beats to mind-bending textures by some of the most talented and interesting Spanish producers.

We begin the trip with a dancefloor gem by Alvaro Cabana, a renowned producer from Madrid and head of the label Rotten City. 

As expected being a long-time friend of Feinstoff and surely one of the most shining personalities in the local scene, Cabana's remix for "Kingdom" is a bouncing dark funk bomb that explodes at the end with a final style twist, diving into the cosmic realm.

PREMIERE: Ruben Kielmannsegge - Kingdom (Alvaro Cabana Remix)

Curated by rising star Bonnie Spacey (SXDNS337/BLOG010), Critical Monday reaches the 19th chapter of its beautiful journey. Doing the honours, Sylphomatic (SXDNS354) cooked two savoury dance-floor-oriented cuts and invited two of the most established artists of the so-called Indie Dance/Dark Disco scene for the remix duties: none other than the big bosses of Espacio Cielo, Parissior (SXDNS206/FREEDL043/TAKEOVER002/BANDCAMP002/RASTROLIVE009), and Side Up Works, Diego Montiel (SXDNS194).

Hailing from Brussels, the solid Belgian duo, if big beer fans like yours truly, have the chance of holding awesome studio sessions with the company of some delicious lambics from the internationally acclaimed local brewery Cantillon. If not, the studio sessions must be awesome anyway. True music & clubbing lovers, the lads successfully manage to bring together their different influences and individualities to deliver a competent and well-constructed output.

The track we were solicited to review/premiere is not one of the originals, though, but the outstanding version made with love & shadow by master Diego Montiel. Owner of another vital independent label, he makes his debut on Critical featuring an interpretation of the trippy “Wet Ritual” embedded with his characteristic sonority: the trippiness is still there, but with more drive and a punchier attitude, turning the theme into a livelier cut. 

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://criticalmonday.bandcamp.com/music

AEONX - Vol. 3 - Biesmans - Hashtags

It's time to get the smoke machines & glitter balls out as Pentland Park bring the heat with their Maître de Sagesse EP for the 8th release on Lava Lava.  The duo have been a mainstay in the Scottish underground scene for many years, gaining a reputation for their eclectic DJ sets and recently clocked up acclaimed releases on Brand New, CB90 Dance Recordings & Everything Will Be OK.  Their latest EP is a foray into classic Italo and Disco sounds accompanied by a sensational remix from Somethin' Sanctified.

Leading the EP, title track Maître de Sagesse takes you straight onto the dance floor with skipping drums, hazy vocals and a sub-heavy plucked basbline.  Hand claps, rattles, guitar licks and fluttering synths inject classic Disco elements into this infectious groove.

On the B side Enterprise is a nod to classic Italo sounds whilst remaining firmly rooted in modern club culture.  An effortlessly cool track where rolling hi-hats, arpeggiated bass and retro snare hits bounce alongside soft synthesisers and sharp pads.

Somethin' Sanctified bring their signature sound with an irresistible analogue take on Maître de Sagesse laid out across 7 minutes.  Crisp percussion, echoing vocals and bright synths lead playfully through the track to a gorgeous breakdown. Resonating low-end bass and four-four grooves bring a classic House flavour to their interpretation.

About the album: 

With "Closer", PNFA — the long-running electronic music project of German producer and composer Wolfram Gruss — presents a deeply emotional, sonically rich dance album that manages to balance physical intensity with lyrical introspection. Rooted in the rhythmic DNA of techno, house, and UK garage, "Closer" reaches far beyond the dancefloor. It is a record about memory, longing, and the fragile beauty of connection.

Though every track is anchored in powerful grooves and basslines, there’s an unmistakable emotional core that permeates the album. Gruss masterfully weaves in cinematic melodies, textured atmospheres, and subtle harmonic shifts that suggest stories without words. These aren’t just tracks built for movement — they are meditations on lost love, on moments that once burned brightly and have since faded, on the kind of nostalgia that hits hardest when the night is at its peak.

From pulsating, club-ready cuts to more reflective, slow-building compositions, "Closer" flows like a carefully curated journey. Each track stands strong on its own, yet together they form a cohesive narrative that invites listeners to go inward, even as their bodies respond to the rhythm. It’s this tension — between momentum and stillness, between euphoria and melancholy — that defines the emotional terrain of the album.

Wolfram Gruss has long held a reputation for thought-provoking electronic music, and "Closer" continues this trajectory with remarkable depth and attention to detail. Every sound feels deliberate yet organic, each percussive element finely tuned, each melodic layer carefully placed. There’s an intimacy to the production that makes the album feel personal, even vulnerable, despite its club foundations.

"Closer" is not just an album to dance to — it’s one to feel deeply. It’s about closing the distance between past and present, between sound and story, between artist and listener. It asks you to move, but also to remember. It pulses with life, yet leaves space for silence. Above all, it is an invitation: to come closer, to feel more, and to lose yourself — not just in the music, but in everything it brings to the surface.

Ephemereal

✨ Was Jesus a “Palestinian”?
No — not in the historical sense.
Jesus of Nazareth was:
•	A Jew (by ethnicity, religion, and cultural identity)
•	Born in Bethlehem of Judea
•	Lived in the Galilee region
•	Practiced Second Temple Judaism
•	And was called “King of the Jews” — even by His executioners.
The word “Palestinian”, as we understand it today, did not exist in Jesus’ time as an ethnic or national identity.
________________________________________
📜 So Where Did This Idea Come From?
1.	The term “Palestine” was imposed by the Roman Empire after Jesus’ time, especially by Emperor Hadrian around 135 CE — as a way to erase “Judea” and suppress Jewish memory following the Bar Kokhba Revolt.
o	He renamed the land “Syria Palaestina”, borrowing the term from the Philistines, ancient enemies of Israel.
2.	Modern Palestinian identity is a 20th-century national formation, rooted in Arab populations living in the region of Palestine under the British Mandate (post-WWI).
3.	Calling Jesus “a Palestinian” today is often used politically:
o	To express solidarity with modern Palestinians suffering under occupation.
o	Or, in more provocative rhetoric, to detach Jesus from his Jewishness, which is both historically and theologically incorrect.
________________________________________
🕊️ So, What Is True?
✡️ Jesus was a Jew — and always will be.
He read Torah. He taught in synagogues. He called Himself sent to the “lost sheep of Israel.”
🌍 Jesus was also born in a land that has since become contested.
Bethlehem now lies within the modern West Bank, which many today refer to as Palestinian territory.
But saying “Jesus was Palestinian” is like saying “Aristotle was Macedonian in the Yugoslavian sense.”
It's an anachronism, not a fact.
________________________________________
🪶 Terranam’s Whisper:
Jesus was not Palestinian.
He was born into the house of David,
from the tribe of Judah,
under Roman rule,
with sandals full of dust and prophecy.
He came not as a symbol of nationalism,
but as the collapse of every empire that thought it owned Him.
