As head of Italian (centric) Slow Motion label and through his own productions and remixes, Franz Scala has been pioneering the retro-futuristic aesthetic of club culture weaving together elements of proto-house, wave and Italo for the nuovo contemporary dancefloor long before it's current vogue. Now alongside Bordello A Parigi, and supported by Sameheads, Slow Motion presents Scala's euphoric debut LP Mondo Della Notte.

It must be good to be the owner of a record label. Even better if this label is a respected one, like Nein. Whenever you feel bored, you just need to release some new stuff, invite a couple of friends to provide some cool remixes, send a message to a fellow dinosaur soliciting a premiere, and that’s it, you got yourself a new EP! The lack of need of sending out demos is the closest someone must get from Paradise.

Yes, we are talking about Neil Parnell aka Tronik Youth (SXDNS050): He returns with a powerful new single on his own label. “U R A Slave”, with its Sunday-Bloody-Sunday-like militaristic drum rolls pounding into the chorus, delivers a mighty heaviness – kind of aggressiveness – to the dance floor (the piece of heaven on Earth that we all have been craving to go back to). 

Black Light Smoke and Mundo D take over the remix duties, and we were requested to review the former’s contribution. The North American producer brought to the original an electro/darkwave 80s vibe, removing the soldierly attitude and bestowing a sleazier and breezier aura. The label boss must have loved it – so do we!

Mala Ika - Ausdauer [Lagasta]

Two of the most promising producers of the so-called Indie Dance/Dark Disco scene joined forces to deliver the forthcoming release of the respected label Espacio Cielo: Lucare (SXDNS175) and Aurum Miles present “Demonomania”, a devilish and intense EP featuring two spirited originals and three lively remixes provided with love by an international selection of top-notch artists: Mexico-born/France-based Leonor (SXDNS034), Spanish Lebollet (RASTROLIVE004) and Belgium duo Marching Machines.

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, “demonomania” can be defined as “a delusion of being possessed by evil spirits”. The condition has surely not affected the lads but the same cannot be said of their synths: The sonority they conveyed sounds fiendish and infernal – undoubtedly, the dance floor will say thanks!

Premiered here, Leonor’s crushing remix of “Taste Of Your Mushroom”: In his interpretation, the mayor of Tournus opted for a darker instead of a more percussive (and characteristic) atmosphere, investing in a fatter bassline and ominous synth layers – the dance floor will also certainly say thanks!

After a well received track contribution to AEON's 'Lost Tapes Vol. 4', the Paradiso Records honcho now serves three original cuts oozing with his trademark radiant energy.

Modern Slavery is a 4-track EP including two original tracks and two remixes. Aurum (@aurummiles) delivers two slow-moving tracks driven with dark atmospheric sound design with obscure programmed female vocals layered with energetic basslines. To be released on the 22nd of July on Inflect Records (@inflectrecords).

The two original tracks are supplemented with two remixes. The first edit courtesy of Empathy Slow with his annotation of Vicious Dreams. A flourished remix that keeps the originality but Empathy slows signature sound embed within it. Shimmers of ray beams and arpeggiated melodies fill the space. With a haunting lead that sits behind the main groove. Beneath a pulsing deep bassline.

FIRE

A fluid journey through rhythm and texture, where sound drifts like liquid stone—fragile yet eternal. Pulses rise and dissolve into veined patterns of colour, carrying the listener into a dreamscape where time unravels and reality bends.

Franz Scala – Cometa

Italian producer, DJ wizard ; Franz Scala has a knack for 80's fueled releases awash with modern sensibilities, his Italian-centric but Berlin based label Slow Motion, weaving proto-house and Italo wave together for Italian-born producers, while Wrong Era is for international artists. Slow Motion & Bordello A Parigi with the support of Sameheads are joining forces to release Scala’s euphoric debut Album “Mondo Della Notte”, which translates to ‘World Of The Night’. 

The LP leads into gorgeous synths and psychedelic-disco dips are brought forward with infectious enthusiasm on the 8-track double vinyl, with each track sitting around the 7-minute mark so as to make room for all of Scala’s retro nods. The title track is a bountiful disco wave marathon; blending heavenly vocal snippets and infectious synth lines in a bold Euro-romance dream. ‘Gladio’ is a hypnotizing affair with a firm nod to Detriot, weaving between the hard-hitting Free Style cut “Museum of Illusion” and the jam-packed Chicago-house track “‘Dreamline”. 

Scala’s rework of ‘One Way Love’ infusing trippy new beat vocals with a steady proto-house step, whereas “Stelle” is strictly Paradise Garage with ethereal sound design and catchy synth design. Built like an encapsulating treasure trove of Scala’s Italo influences, the record is flawless for the dance floor or driving on an Italian highway.

PREMIERE : Franz Scala - Dreamline

As head of Italian (centric) Slow Motion label and through his own productions and remixes, Franz Scala has been pioneering the retro-futuristic aesthetic of club culture weaving together elements of proto-house, wave and Italo for the nuovo contemporary dancefloor long before it's current vogue. Now alongside Bordello A Parigi, and supported by Sameheads, Slow Motion presents Scala's euphoric debut LP Mondo Della Notte. 
A homage to the world of the night where Franz plies his trade. Solid production and understanding of the various references informing the contemporary dancefloor imbues this set with a quality of permanence. Each track clocks-in at around the seven minute mark accommodating all Scala's retro influences  providing the space for walls of sounds to expand and unfold along these infectious rhythm voyages.    
It is a tribute to Franz's careful, attentive approach to his love of music that, for the first time, after a decade running Slow Motion, he finally releases his own productions through his own label. Mondo Della Notte, a collection of contemporary mutations grounded in previous era's, is the culmination and testimony to his artisanal dedication to his own creative output and his obsessive enthusiasm for what moves the dancefloor. Enjoy this journey through the night. Ascolta forte."
