Cocktail D'Amore know a thing or two about party starting wild cards, and thus far Lion's Drums has proven to be adept in that department with drops on Hivern Discs and his own self-titled label. He comes to the Cocktail party with two edits of Manos Tsangaris' powerful drum sermons - visceral percussive flurries from a man with enough rhythm to partake in the lauded Drums Off Chaos project. You should have a good idea from that what these two tracks are about - heavy, physical tracks for maximum dance induction, moments of pure abandon and the odd firework or two.

Mori Ra strikes back at MM Discos with “Gaia Edits", after the successful release back in May on the label of the “portuñol” duo, Da Silva and Dj Katah welcome again Osaka’s best record collector with 4 new high quality editions. 

Staying loyal to his eclecticism, Mori Ra approaches this time a lil more to the dancefloor by doing a more hedonistic work than his previous release on “MM Discos” , an exuberant “disco-no-disco” exercise mixed with ethnic references, wicked percussion, charming marimbas and an endless of psychedelic elements. 

A record done for the soul; spiritual, mystic, highly addictive and 100% danceable. A very special release where the Japanese artist has involved his son who helped with choosing the sound source for this record.

PREMIERE: Mori Ra - Penguins Repair

The door swung wide open with a dramatic thud; in its frame a dark silhouette of a man loomed over the room. Most eyes turned to fix on the entrance, while others cowered beneath their tables, too afraid to make eye contact with the strange figure. He wasn't completely shrouded in mystery, however. In fact, many had been expecting the day he'd darken their doorway, but they never thought it would actually come. From the stories they'd been told, this situation could go one of two ways; they had to hope and pray that luck was on their side.

Last May, Moroccan-born, Geneva-based producer Reda Saiarh released his first EP, alongside production partner Ramin Salem, on Rotterdam’s Afrobotic Musicology. The release signalled the duo’s deftness for blending Eastern & Western samples, a trait that’s on display on Reda’s solo return to the label, Let’s Dance. Made up of four New Beat-inspired tracks, an era of music he was put on to through his Dad’s record collection, the release includes a contemporary flip on a Bowie classic, a homage to Yello and an acidic cut laced with Gabonese chants, in partnership with Thomas Lavanchy.

After a 5 year hiatus, Tel Aviv based artist Naduve, returns to Cocktail d’Amore Music with Hypogeum. Each of these tracks facilitates its own special part in the life of party. Starting off on a hypnotic and forward driven note Echo Wave Bay leads dancers perfectly into hypnosis with its trance inducing melodies which wave upward and downward. Title track Hypogeum begins to pull on the heart strings with its soft synths floating over pastel textures before giving way to the aptly titled FX Jungle, a deep trip into the low lying canopies of your imagination. Ending where we began Thursday Gem explores the same cyclical themes as Echo Wave but in a subdued fashion making it a perfect choice for winding down any raucous party.

For our 10th release and 5th anniversary, we've involved some good friends of the label whose work we greatly admire.

Greco-German power couple Local Suicide has teamed up with kindred spirit Skelesys to deliver two killer original tracks for the 'No Evidence' EP.

The title track, inspired by old detective novels, blends Local Suicide's signature dark and moody sound with Skelesys' haunting melodies and subtle grooves.

'Weird Encounters' conjures up heavy Berlin vibes (no coincidence, as all three musicians currently make the city their home), taking the listener on a girl's disorienting journey while lost at a party.

'No Evidence' gets the remix treatment from both Intergalactic Gary (Viewlexx), interpreting it as a hypnotic future classic EBM version, and Samo head honcho Facets, who offers a high-energy, arpeggiated take on the original. Anatolian Weapons (Beats in Space) deconstructs 'Weird Encounters' and transforms it into a full-on rave machine.

No Evidence is out March 4th on limited vinyl and digital.

The North of England is known for its musical prowess. Middlesbrough born Rees taps into that musical history while diving deep into lost disco, obscure wave and even the Middle East for his debut for Bordello. Three Eyes is a melting pot. Setting sail on bold beats and rumbling synthlines, Rees steers the listener through cascading chords, shimmering key shifts and serenading sirens to produce a truly unique dancefloor experience. Tjade, of Koi Jaye fame, is on remix duty. The winning formula of the original is adhered to with adjustments and ablutions guiding this interpretation. BPMs rise to give a fresh burst of energy. Rees’ melody is given extra muscle with those same mesmerizing vocals being a driving force for this superb remix. Dynamic and diverse dancefloor dynamite from the Paradiso label boss.

INCOMING : Azole - Tensioner #WhereWereWe

Release date : 2022-02-11

Buy :  https://wherewerewe.bandcamp.com/album/mr-sutherland

After the success of the first four releases, Where Were We is back with a new one. This is yet again to commemorate WWW b-day and the fact that the project is turning 4 years old this February.
Azole project hides 2 new and exciting fellas from Moscow. And their offering feels more like a complete album than just a regular EP.
Mr. Sutherland EP is an allusion to a famous Australian keyboard virtuoso with the same surname and even though keyboard solos might not be that lavish and jazzy when compared to their counterpart, they are definitely there and will take you for a dreamy ride in outer space.
Most of the track names in the album are organic and refer to the living world, so we hope that while listening to these compositions you will feel how intricately everything is interlinked not only here on planet Earth, but also in all vastness of the universe. Enjoy the trip!

Presenting their fifteenth offering, Ruben Karapetyan's RKP welcomes Aman Anand and Rockka to the label for their first ever collaborations. Indian born, Singapore based artist Aman Anand has had much success across his twelve-year career. With a cutting-edge style, Aman has become beloved within the progressive music spectrum, recording standout projects for Juicebox Music, Mango Alley, Sudbeat and WARPP, while also earning play and support from the genre's elite guard in Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren. Meanwhile, hailing from Sri Lanka, Rockka aka Lakith Adikaram has been releasing his own unique style of progressive music for the better part of three years. Making his mark through a series of Droid9 releases featuring deep and atmospheric grooves, Rockka demonstrated his mastery, paving the way for a notable ascent in his early career. Although younger than most of his contemporaries, the Nugegoda resident impressed going forward, quickly landing projects with Juicebox Music, iNU, Mango Alley and Yomo Records. Now, combining their extensive forces for the first time, Aman and Rockka add RKP to their respective resumes with a two-track showcase entitled 'Imperfect Cell'. 

The EP's title selection 'Imperfect Cell'' sets the pace and lands with many of the duo's beloved production hallmarks. Tight kick drums and neatly manicured percussion provide a DJ friendly intro, as rhythmic pulses set the course for the bassline to deliver a rush of free-flowing energy. Cruising effortlessly across the first act, it's an amalgamation of sweeping sonics, psychedelic effects and wonky synth mutations which add further depth and character, a vibe which is sure to cast a prophetic mood over the dance floor. The duo's elusive vision shines during the main break, as they deliver a sense of tension and emotion that astute fans will appreciate, before pyrotechnic effects spark a strong synth driven finale. 

Rounding out the release are the groovy qualities of 'Locked In', a track where Aman and Rockka aim squarely at a peak hour dancefloor once again. Marrying the classic and contemporary sounds of the genre, the duo crafts an aesthetic that is trippy, rhythmic and effortlessly cool, one that balances a loud-soft dynamic perfectly. Holographic effects flash through a whirlwind of rebounding rhythms and psychedelic monochromes across a smooth first movement, as tension continues to rise during the interlude, before roboticized vocal loops and reverent pads melt down into highly explosive beats and heavy basslines for a thunderous finale.
