After a significant time out for the Four To The Floor brand due to a lack of open dance floors, we have decided to resume the series as an emblem of hope.

Four tracks that carry the sense of longing for the dance floors and the weight of the desire for reunion that has been building up within so many of us.

FTTF18 opens up with Bionick Amisi & Bob The Groove and their „Was It“ - an emotional Melodic House track that has been present in Solomun’s sets before the start of the pandemic. Next is Simon Mós with „Say Something“, a melancholic Microhouse track that features the heartbreaking voice of Curtis James.

Track 3 is „Shadow Dance“ by Eynka wonderful breakbeat symphony laden with moving vocal samples. And closing off the FTTF18 is „Clubs No More“ by Middle Sky Boom, a hypnotic tune that circles your head like a thought you can’t let go - the perfect parable for a DJs mind in lockdown.

Middle Sky Boom - Clubs No More

From up here the sheer expanse of the universe was laid out bare. Back on earth it was impossible to understand how limitless it truly was; it put everything into perspective. Only days had passed since they'd embarked on the most ambitious move of their lives, for now they remained positive, still absorbing everything around them. It was a spectacle that couldn't quite be put into words; you had to see it to believe it. 

Sinchi continue their mission to platform up-and-coming talent from across the globe with the fifth instalment in their Altered States compilation series. Since launching the initiative the Amsterdam-based label and collective have unearthed producers who they feel have a unique sound that needs to be shared with the world. The club-focused tackle on offer this time comes from the likes of Hamburg duo Freakazzé II, French electro-driven producer Nomenklatür, Mexico's Oscar Avendaño aka Levantine, our pick from Leo af Ekenstam, and several more.

As with all Sinchi releases, profit from sales go to the Sinchi Foundation which supports indigenous peoples worldwide.

PREMIERE – Agle – I’m a Machine (Silicodisco Remix)(Espacio CIELO)

The original version and four intriguing remixes in different sonic landscapes. The release at times envelops you in darkness, while elsewhere, it offers hope for something brighter. The guitar-driven original version keeps the entire track tense, prompting contemplation on various aspects.

Mundo D presents their remix, maintaining the fierce vibe of the original version but staying true to their own style, which is quite pleasing.

ETANE's urban remix holds you somewhere between Italo Disco and EBM. The melodiousness is infused with hypnotic energy.

Tierra de Ovnis' remix, on one hand, is enchanting and serene, but on the other hand, it possesses an otherworldly power with a psychedelic undertone.

NQUA introduces a remix where the penetrating bass and insightful melodic sounds keep you in rhythm and don't let go.

In general, everything is as we love it!

Stroga-Festival 2012 - 14

After his successful second album, Revelación, Bufi and Discotexas deliver us their first volume of remixes, loaded with energy, thanks to a well chosen team of star remixers. The package starts with a steady take on “Apocalipstick” by Valencian producer AFFKT, head of Sincopat Recordings, that takes us into a synth psychedelia journey with an epic middle break, just before the climax. Right after that the beat goes solemn, with a thoughtful organ driven mix by Mexican duo Zombies In Miami, filled with laser like percussions, spacey synths and sensually treated vocals, transforming “New Ground” into a oracular esoteric gem. Another Mexican, Max Jones, keeps the groove reflective, exploring the nostalgia of the original “Interlude” synths, chopping the acid lead and adding a “conservative” afro minimal beat. The batch ends with a solid mix by french producer Damon Jee, delivering a severely rigorous steady bassline alternated with confident and faithful uplifting synths; one of the highlights of the original track, “Peaks”.

Peaks (Damon Jee Remix)

limited edition 12" vinyl available here https://global-warming-records.bandcamp.com/album/bend-your-standards-gw06

Two one-man bands projects meets together on the first Global Warming various record : The cold-blooded Scottish sound-ingeneer @sordid-sound-system and mysterious Spanish hedonist @sutjagutierrez. Deeply rock-rooted and drug-infused, this futuristic western soundtrack opens with ‘The Void’, a arid dub jam, heavily hallucinogenic and ‘Meanwhile, When Times Turn Bad’, schizophrenic punk jam both recorded from Sordid Sound System’s redwood forests new studio on Northern California. On the other side, the lone ranger Sutja Gutierrez takes us to a dystopian horse ride into shady woods and grey plains, with ‘Everything Leads To An End’ and 'Beheaded Angels', two sensible journey, blending goofy drums, creepy synths layers, heady weird vocals and binary guitars for a unique and mighty melancholic mood.
