Great tune, I included it in my mix (https://soundcloud.com/user-944305023/dark-tech-house), give it a listen if you like this sort of music/feedback would be greatly appreciated!

The original song: Frankie HI-NRG MC - Fight da faida (1993)

Sliding in the slipstream of a huge wave of big hitters, underground anthems, and vinyl drops on his own Moxy Muzik imprint; Darius Syrossian lands on Pets with three premium late night jacking jams.

Madly, besides a remix of the label bosses Catz 'n Dogz a few years back, it's actually the house heavyweight's first full release on Pets. So he's making up for lost time with a trio of serious treats. Each cut bounces and flexes with that ageless warm-and-widescreen vibe that took seed in the 90s and has been relevant and unanimously loved ever since.

'To The Groove' hits like an old Pooley affair with obese bass/kick thumps and dreamy horns wafting away over the top. 'Love One Another' swaggers with a warp that you could imagine taking the roof off Back To Basics at any point in its 30 year history while 'MIDO' wraps up the EP with a dubby, rolling vibe that wouldn't have gone amiss on an old Champion Records or mid 90s Deep Dish set.

Heaving with a heady sense of Detroit, UK, Berlin and Balearic heritage, this is nothing but timeless, full-flavoured and focused on nothing but the groove. Just as the title suggests. Massive.

Dense & Pika U, My EP

Arriving on Patrick Topping’s Trick for the first time, the pair bring their big, booming techno to the label with two chunky tracks. Title track ‘U, My’ sees airy vocal chops floating over big kicks, knocking percussion and a hypnotic, looping low-end, combining to form a heavy club cut, while ‘Sun Sesh’ sees the duo reach for a combination of shuffling drums, tweaked-out FX, and rolling chords for a dynamic, chugging track.

Join the dots then dash it all to hell. Dynamic duo Shadow Child and Mark Archer link up once again for another rave romp 'Morse Code' and no amount of emergency messages are going to save our souls!

An absolutely awesome collaboration, the force between Shadow Child and Altern-8 don and all-round rave pioneer Mark Archer has been strong for some time now. First appearing on Super Rhythm Trax together under their MASC guise in 2018 with almighty techno headbutt 'Non Stop', they returned two years later in early 2020 with equally fired-up 'Return Of The MASC' EP. Both EPs were celebrated and savoured at the levels you'd expect.

Two years later and the pair return to our speakers this time on Catz 'n Dogz Pets imprint and they're armed with two more unruly late night tear-ups. 'Morse Code' hits with that classic detuned synth sound that smacks of a million Fantazias and is driven by a quirky, memorable spoken word sample. 'Toto' plays the consummate foil with a ridiculously bulbous and addictive bass riff that shines and slaps with the sound and energy of both artists.

Collabs of this weight and span are often misguided and don't quite hit the spot. But Mark Archer and Shadow Child have the perfect fusion that celebrates the last 30+ years of this culture and have enough diesel in the tank for the next 30, too. Time to crack some codes!

Moxy Muzik continues to set its own agenda with a fantastic new EP, this time from boss man Darius Syrossian with fresh remixes from Ben Rau and Phil Weeks.

Syrossian is in the middle of a busy summer of gigs at Off Sonar, DC10 and Amnesia that follows on from a run of 7 sold out shows in a row at Joshua Brooks in Manchester before moving the party to South Nightclub for more of the same. 

Of course, his Moxy Muzik label goes from strength to strength with tour events in Berlin, Paris and London, and releases featuring a timeless selection of standout house tracks that are getting DJs and dancers hot under the collar all over the world. This new EP is no different.

Syrossian's original 'Bull Stomp' is a tough thumping house disco techno cross over tune which you will find hard to pigeon hole rock solid kick drums and Robert Hood style claps on the kicks & a disco tinged rolling heavy bass line makes this track a peak time dance floor destroyer. Old school vocal samples add raw energy, and the whole thing builds to a tense peak before erupting once again and bringing pure euphoria to the floor.

Ben Rau is a master of drums who has released on the likes of Get Physical and really takes you on a trip. That is the case here with his lush, spaced out and late night house remix that takes you into the cosmos. Warm pads and soul infused vocal coos add real character to this most emotive groove.

Last but not least, Robsoul man and French house titan Phil Weeks serves up a Ghetto Dub that is pure sleaze, with infectious drum loops and deft percussion all getting under your skin and keeping you on your toes.

These are three more vital tunes from Moxy Muzik that all offer something equally powerful & follow ok from 3 very strong releases all hit either number one or top 5 in the charts on digital or flying off the shelves on vinyl.

T e s t p r e s s - SMML EP is out now on Spotify, Beatport & Apple Music

https://lnk.to/TRICK014

Precision kicks, pitter-patter effects and an escalating melody are joined by a spoken word sample in the bouncy ‘SMML’, before moving into ‘turboshandy’ with its springy bassline, lively synth stabs and heady pitched up vox. Tying things together, ‘heavy bad yin’ is a rumbling cut that powers onwards courtesy of robust drums, swinging hats and a squelchy acid lead.
