Luca Averna and Ale Doretto are two Venezians living in Ibiza that aim to capture the true musical spirit of the island under their Residentes Balearicos guise. Often collaborating with Chris Coco, Luca and Ale maintain the breezy and free energy so synonymous with the White Isle through their polished productions, deftly moving between languid beach side chillers to intoxicating house music. With two superb outings on Kenneth Bager’s Music For Dreams label, the pair now make an offering on Joe Morris’ nascent Shades Of Sound imprint with the Postales EP.

‘Noche De Verano’ captures the mid to late Eighties Balearic flavour to a tee; chunky drums and big snares, children chanting, heavenly keys and wistful flutes all combine to create that perfect alfresco dancing moment. ‘Soleada’ slows the pace for an early evening ride, with a Larry Heard style deep house groove. Gentle keys and male vocal motifs melt over pulsing arps and gated pads.

Joe Morris flips the energy with his Soleada remixes, creating an Italian dream house inspired take on his Halcyon mix and a blissed out breakbeat version with the Twilight mix. Camilo Miranda twists Noche De Verano into a warm up club cut, respectfully keeping the original tone and adding a subtle italo-disco bass riff and synth stabs,

This is a release perfect for the on-coming warmer months; five tracks designed for dancing under the sun and stars alike where finally we will once again come together with our friends to experience life and music x.

Roughion delve deep into their classical music memory with the release of Play Piano out on Hotwire (date TBD).  
 
Following on from their acidic releases of 2021 so far (Polarize - Mr Phormula Roughion Remix [Mr Phormula Records] and Living For Free - Shamoniks Roughion Remix [bandcamp exclusive]) this is their first original release of this year and takes deep dives into their musical history from Steffan’s classical background and Gwion’s DJing background. Play Piano subtly hints at Darude Sandstorm from the rolling baselines whilst simultaneously having an aura of mystery and class from the grand piano. Play Piano can be enjoyed at home or in a club environment as seen in Roughion’s DJ set for BBC Wales last summer. With more and more releases Roughion hone in on a signature sound and Play Piano plants itself right in the middle of what Roughion aim to achieve.

“Play Piano encapsulates everything Hotwire believes in. The sounds are fit for purpose in those intimate basements, the driving synths truly set the tone for the B side dance floor cuts” 
 
 
Bethan Elfyn, BBC Wales (DJ, Project Manager, Producer)    
“Producers, promoters, remixers, and live electronic outfit, Roughion, have always pushed boundaries with their music, always defying expectation, and exploring unusual collaborations, thoughts and styles, and this latest release is no exception – the seemingly contrasting elements of classical, techno, and creepy samples, create the effect of tapping into a lost time capsule floating in space, a snapshot of something that doesn’t make sense but is beautiful and elegant all the same. They’re a driving force for the electronic scene in Wales and I’m excited to see them collaborate with Hotwire Records from Sheffield. What a track to lead on this new direction!

It’s time for breaks! Burger Steak's first ever release offers two unusual and otherworldly pieces heavily influenced by Drum 'n Bass records when running at slower speeds. Both tracks share a dystopic kind of suspense and their constant movement in between beauty and darkness. Strobe on!

The early years of Break 3000 productions starts off with one of the key tracks that marked the start of his career, the electro monster that is "Emolotion" was originally released in 2003 on the Maastricht label "Meuse Muzique" as part of the "Maastricht - Liege EP". The dark and twisted "The Wait" was featured on the "North and South" compilation by the German label "Pocketgame", also released on vinyl in the year 2003. To close we have the sweet "Electric Blue" track that starred next to "Emolotion" on that great "Maastricht - Liege EP".

Raw Analog Funk duo Ben Men and Rob Malone are now stepping out with a brand new label project, Mondo Dingo Records. The Paris based indie promises to be a purveyor of all sounds deep and soulful and the first release comes from self-taught multi-instrumentalist Pinaud with remixes from Parisian based Peter Raw and the Raw Analog Funk band themselves. Pinaud's style is imprinted in everything he does - intense grooves, deep basslines and a lightness of touch that has helped make him a well-established musician and DJ in Rio de Janeiro. His mixture of organic sounds with the bass and beats of house music and plenty of soul and 70s disco overtones has taken him to events and clubs all over Latin American and labels like Manga Rosa and Barco do Amor. The Carioca self-taught multi-instrumentalist dedicates this EP to the "cidade maravilhosa." His stunning opener 'Afrojazz' is a lush, soulful house track packed with musicianship. It has live sounding broken beat drums, gorgeous chords and a real spiritual expressiveness in the Rhodes jams and glistening chords that leaves you feeling uplifted. Peter Raw has been playing the sax since the age of six, has studied music formally and has influences that run from house to jazz to hip hop. He has run his own Run With Us parties at the Batofar and has put out music on French labels Beat X Changers and Sounds Benefit. His version is more playful and upbeat, with swaggering drums and big loops, dancing chords making you move your hips and a perfectly sunny disposition. Raw Analog Funk aka Ben Men and Rob Malone have been key players since the 90s in their native France and beyond. They promoted at the legendary REX Club, have held various key DJ residencies and are co-founders of BTRAX Records as well as 45RDB Records, while also releasing under the BROZ Inc alias with artists like Mr K Alexi Shelby. They bring all their vast know how to a superb remix that has whispered vocal ad libs and jazzy chord work over a stomping Afro House groove. It's as perfectly organic and loose as they come. Last of all, 'Georges Brassens' is a real basement jazz house workout with super warm chords and great swing in the drums, off-grid percussion and steamy French language female vocals that add a certain je ne sais quoi. This is a bold and brilliant start to what is sure to become another essential label from the ever innovative Raw Analog Funk duo.

Acclaimed Brooklyn-based artist North Satellite returns to Darshan Jasrani’s Startree label with the bewitching four track ‘Core Discord’ EP released on 2 July. 

Following last year’s celebrated ‘A Rising Sign', with ‘Core Discord’, North Satellite, AKA Eugene Tambourine, draws inspiration from The I Ching - the Taoist book of philosophy which he has studied for 24 years - and the belief that all conflict stems from within us. Each of the four tracks were created under the central theme of Inner Conflict - something which plagues the individual and then society. 

With the opening track, ‘Evil’, North Satellite takes Earth, Wind & Fire’s 1973 social-commentary song and produces a laid-back, sensuous synth odyssey which admitted his own bad attitudes and misanthropy as well as that which he sees in other people.

‘Transcendentalmental’ is the balanced instrumental version of ‘Evil’, showcasing the cascading beats, chilled percussion, and shimmering synths. 

The elegantly balanced Balearic and Latin infused 'Fighting/Luchando’, presents tension and release in the instrumentation and soulful vocal refrains of “it’s my life I’m fighting for". In North Satellite’s words: "We’re all trying to maintain our mental, physical and spiritual health in these times. Bringing music to life in the studio is one of the few things which gives me a brief sense of direction and accomplishment right now.

Closing the EP is the title track, ‘Core Discord’, complete with distorted vocals, robotic and glitchy sounds which combine with the disjointed beats to produce a mesmerising and hypnotic finale which rounds off the EP perfectly. 

Support for North Satellite ‘A Rising Sign’ EP came from Francois K, Tim Sweeney, Luke Solomon, Eric Duncan, Horse Meat Disco, Honey Soundsystem, Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy, Will Saul, Danielle Moore (Crazy P), Bill Brewster, and Fred Everything, amongst others.
