Mirko Loko - ‘Kolor’ EP
Label: Cadenza
Format:  12“+ Digital
Release date: April 6th

The Swiss prolific artist serves up a preview of his follow-up to 2009’s Seventynine LP, complete with two remixes from Detroit legend Carl Craig under his c2 guise. 

Despite a vintage last few years releasing arguably some of his strongest techno material yet for Cadenza, it wouldn’t be entirely accurate to describe this as a purple patch. In reality, Mirko hasn’t really let the standard drop since he reached the big leagues, with his previous releases spanning the likes of Visionquest, Planet E and Desolat, as well as being remixed by the likes of Ricardo Villalobos and Carl Craig.  

‘Kolor’ is a sprawling latticework of melodies and textures, which traverses multiple peaks and troughs along its ten-minute journey. At the forefront, a glistening synthline cascades and swells over driving, chuggy bass, whilst splintered techy percussion skitters around.

In the first of his reworks, Carl Craig retains many of the original track’s sonic elements. The haunting music box-esque synthline remains, but against a more skeletal beat. Halfway through, a lurching bassline pushes into the fray, giving the track unexpected driving energy.

In Part Two, Craig takes a remarkable about turn, initially eschewing the rhythmic elements altogether and instead deploying a beautiful harmonic canopy of strings and pads over the bassline. He gradually feeds the drums back in, to create a majestic, if not cinematic climax.

Teaser "KOLOR" incl. C2 rmx

The fact that Mirko Loko's released on labels like Cadenza, Desolat and Visionquest proves this is a guy packing serious talent. 

'Butterfly Effect' and 'Harder' are fine examples of his knack of producing the type of tracks that get you locked in for the entirety and his forthcoming 'Kolor' EP, again on Luciano's Cadenza, sees him deliver more cosmic and mesmerising power.

This week our special guest on the Cadenza Music Source to Cycle podcast is the DJ & producer, Daniel Sanchez.

Hailing from the Netherlands, Daniel was quick to establish himself on the techno party scene in Amsterdam, and also made early steps on the studio, releasing 2007’s ‘Mumbling Yeah’ track on Area Remote, which received the remix treatment from both Loco Dice and Marco Carola.

Daniel set up his own Bla Bla parties in the Dam the following year, inviting DJs like Andrea Oliva and Barem to perform, and he also launched a label of the same name, which has now been running for 6 years.

He’s topped Beatport charts with offerings such as his magical remix of Nina Simone’s ‘Sinnerman’, played everywhere from Creamfields to Space to BPM and has 20 years experience in the game.

The superbly sunny and sax laced ‘Arc en Ciel’ opens up with a steady kick, tall claps, captivating percussion and uplifting chords.

2000 and One's Best Of Series Vol. 19 (Deep) Techno Pt. II

Luciano has arranged a special series of four releases as part of the celebrations for the fifteen years anniversary of his own Cadenza Records, launching the first one to begin the festivities. Each episode is coming out in a different season of the year; the first one, with the catalogue number 118, is the chapter dedicated to the summertime and contains 5 enchanting tracks with an exquisite sound. This series is just one of the astonishing surprises that Luciano has set aside for the birthday of his beloved label.
The show begins with “The Amazing Lilou”, a crispy ariose tune with elaborated percussions and calypso-flavored synthesizers. “Hiding Hearts” is a latin prelude with pleasant guitars and restful melodies, flowing with joy and peace. “Nabusima” is another Caraibic spell, with noteworthy carefully mixed drums and elevating harmonies. “Magik Mechanics” explores complex broken beats and electronic textures, drawing a colored narration in between a fairy tale and a sci-fi movie. Finally, “Tirana del Oriente”, as disclosed by the title, is a trip into the Oriental ardent magic. A collection of five long summery compositions to accompany our hot pleasing days from the dawn till the dusk, holding our hands during a never ending daydream.
