His first instalment on the label comes with this 5 track smashing EP called “Hyper Inflation”, a quirky soundtrack to nowadays economic crisis in general and in Argentina in particular, featuring super tight beats  plus frenetic synth and sample action! A savvy induction of pure dancefloor energy, that makes you grind your jaws without the need to take drugs! Let’s dive into these jacking gems that put a new twist into our search for the perfect beat, via the works of this remarkable producer and fantastic DJ!

Cómeme 057 - BERESI - Hyper Inflation EP

This track, which will please all the DJs we respect, is pushing constantly toward uncertain limits, that are never reached, causing brain cells to shiver in ecstasy. A constant drop and a constant rise, ascension, and descension at the same time. An unpredictable tunnel of intense physical sensation. This floor filler stands in the tradition that you can find at the core of the label ́s ethos and is represented in Cómeme’s contribution to the universal catalogue of timeless dancefloor classics such as “Geffen” by Barnt,“Jagos” by Christian S, or “Pitaya Frenesí by Rebolledo: Deep silliness or silly deepness.

Hyper Inflation Parte 1

An economic crisis is what happens in hyper inflation. A lonely working class robot singing its electro blues -  alone in his room, located in the suburbs of a melancholic Metropolis. It's A classic that its ancestors used to listen, to when he was just a tiny “electrodoméstico”. A classic electro structure,harmonized via the mythical Vako Orchestron

Hyper Inflation Parte 2 (Crisis Económica)

In this powerful jam, Beresi achieves to assemble a beautiful collection ofall kind of elements he loves to hear in house music: Kraftwerk quotes,dogs barking, twisted samples, street beats, a kung fu meditation moment,and acid synths, between other contraptions.This track was produced to 98% percent with Rebirth 2.0 sample plusmods, so the artist says.

HAUZ

A summer of love, heat, never ending dancefloor nights, humid skin, evenif it’s just one summer, even if it slips away between our hands, at least it happened. Energetic sound for the “amiga” rave, classic dance musicapproved by recent history.

Extasis Of Love

After rave, after heartbreak, a part of our soul hurts but another onerejoices. An up and down of emotions, the joy of having lived through it  -and the melancholia of a moment that never comes back. (Dramatic drumswith tints of Afro House).

It Hurts

Frankfurt's celebrated producer, Philip Lauer returns to Especial, this time teaming up with Berlin based vocalist Dena for a special collaboration, covering Julie Stapleton's soulful House classic with a modern interpretation across a number of versions (vinyl and digital). 

After the success of the Hotel Lauer EP on Especial way back in 2016, Lauer has continued his ascendency with albums for Permanent Vacation and Running Back, as well as releasing a string of sure-fire, dancefloor friendly EPs for the likes of Cin Cin, Futureboogie and Skatebard's Digitalo Enterprises.

Born and raised in Bulgaria, before making the move the music mecca of Berlin, Denitza Todorova has a carved a path with her electronic, dance pop stylings across releases for the likes of K7 and Kitsune Music. First appearing on Make It Stay from Lauer's last album, it jumped out as the perfect partnership to bring the raw, soulful and uplifting sounds of the cult V4 Visions label up to date. Founded by Alex Palmer, the label was part of the UK's early 90s club sound, releasing street soul, deep house and more, in Where's Your Love Gone, Palmer and 18-year-old writer/vocalist Julie Stapleton hit on the perfect marriage of Lovers Rock and Street Soul yearning with the haunting sounds of US House. Presented as a new take on the classic, but with utmost respect, the EP starts with the Club Mix, a Larry Heard bassline joins a marimba melody, lifting Dena's vocals of youth's lost love and pain. This is followed by the Demo Mix, a warm, beautiful string laden original take that Lauer and the label felt had to be included. 

DJ Slyngshot is welcomed to provide a deep, tech remix. A name to watch via his releases on his YAPPIN label and recent EP for Workshop, his remix is an analogue twist of hypnotic, raw dub techno percussion and counter breaks builds as string and piano join. The EP ends in the Synthapella, as bongos, cowbell and whistle are added to create a drifting Balearic version for late summer nights and dawn that highlight Dena's vocals in a 'sunrise' light.

V/A - Denshi Ongaku No Bigaku Denshi Ongaku No Bigaku / 電子音楽の美学 (The Aesthetics of Japanese Electronic Music)'' vol.2
Label: Cosmocities (https://soundcloud.com/user-796466527)
https://soundcloud.com/tomi_chair https://soundcloud.com/satoshi-fumi

Still on and about after years of the most intense crate digging, gem mining, desperate head-scratching and avid schooling, thirsty as ever for the next musical thrill to wrap our ears and brains around, here comes the fruit of our life-long love story with Japanese electronics, Denshi Ongaku No Bigaku Vol. 1 and Vol.2. From the soul-fulfilling first crush felt upon hearing the iconic soundtrack of ‘Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence’ by Ryuichi Sakamoto onto our release of Inner Science ‘Cosmo Tracks’, through the life-affirming sets of Laurent Garnier at Dijon’s seminal club, l’An-fer, which have at all times nurtured and expanded our taste for Easternmost delicacies, the influence of Japanese music on our vision and endeavours was paramount to the development of our catalogue, whether directly or indirectly. 

On this second volume, focus is laid on the boogier side of Japanese sonics, nimbly moving the cursor from jazz to Afro-house, via deep technoid wares and spaced-out funky business. Setting the tone without further ado, Seiji Ono’s sun-streaked chugger ‘Celebrate Your Life’ is the very epitome of a time-proof party anthem; a buoyant and catchy ode to Larry Levan’s Paradise Garage that keeps on giving even after the thousandth listen. A dynamic ride down memory lane, Uyama Hiroto’s Afro-Bossa number ‘Compass’ delivers a suspended moment in time, halfway the soothing ethereality of Brazilian folk and syncopated patterns of African music. Up with the very much sub-Saharan-influenced ‘Pray’, J.A.K.A.M. takes us on a luminous ride across endless dunes of sand and lush oases of melodic abundance and polyrhythmic flair.

Yuu Udagawa turns in the jacking ‘We Float’, a proper NYC-style piece of abstract hip-hop and Chicagoan house laced into one lithe dance-floor churner, whereas Jazztronik summons ancient woodlands spirits on the kalimba-heavy ’Neon Forest’, ushering us into a world of pure soulfulness where ghostly silhouettes float in a haze of shakuhachi flutes and vaporous pads. We all know a classic slab of piano house done the right way is hard to resist, but when Brisa opts for this tried-and-tested route on ’State of Mind’, he nevertheless injects it with the kind of refinement and oomph you simply have to bow down before. The Backwoods remix of Ryoma Takemasa ‘Deepn’’ opens a spacious window that looks out onto a dreamy skyscape where the stripped-back rhythmic grammar of atmospheric techno rubs shoulders with that of electronica’s deep focus.

Not just contributing the aforementioned remix, The Backwoods - alias DJ Kent, steps up with the big-room momentum of ‘Cloud Nine’ - an alt-rock-influenced piece of racing electronics bound for ecstatic after-partying and beachside boogie with your loved one at sunrise. In the hands of Hiroshi Watanabe, 909state ‘RaTaTaTam’ morphs into an entrancingly beautiful mix of slo-burning prog techno and neo-classical orchestration, just as sleek and elegant as it proves deadly in a club context. Graced with similar melodic accoutrements, Satoshi Fumi’s rework of Tomi Chair ‘Remorse’ offers a grandiose and mood-enhancing display of piano-riddled techno bravura, clearly geared up for climactic DJ use. A magmatic finale that lacks neither that stadium-sized oomph, nor Fumi’s hallmark of all-around compositional excellence.

Do The Taboo presents: No Go's Vol.1
Release 15.09.23 

Welcome to the captivating realm of "No Go's" Vol. 1, masterminded by DO THE TABOO and curated by Bryan Kessler himself. This is no ordinary compilation; it's a carefully woven tapestry of sound, a musical odyssey split into four distinctive chapters, each housing a quartet of carefully crafted tracks.

Bryan Kessler's secret percussive weapon, "Hits Only," kicks off this sonic journey. The track unfurls with the elegant roll of a rim and a persistent drum loop, interlaced with the haunting allure of a female sample. As the tempo rises, acid undertones surge forth, carrying you into a pulsating second part that's nothing short of exhilarating.

Roe Deers, a long-standing ally of DO THE TABOO, delivers "Acid Alarm" - a testament to his unique power in the realm of production. It's a symphony of percussive finesse, an embodiment of his visionary impact on Lithuania's music culture.

From the same fertile ground emerges Zakmina, a rising star who takes control of future dancefloors with "Sweet Sweet." Picture a bassline-driven house anthem infused with a hint of erotic samples. It's a sonic voyage that evokes the atmosphere of Panorama Bar, with emotions and melodies flowing seamlessly through the air.

And now, for the grand finale, enter "Batuda Da Trax" by the Medellin virtuoso, DANY F. A nocturnal maestro and a true luminary of the city's nightlife scene, he orchestrates a crescendo of rhythm with the pounding heartbeat of drum machines and ethereal synths that seem to traverse the cosmos. The climax arrives with an explosive synergy of percussion and tambourines, a sonic spectacle that leaves an indelible imprint.

In No Go's Vol. 1, DO THE TABOO invites you to a party where genre boundaries dissolve, allowing for an unbridled exploration of sound. It's a celebration of rebellion, artistic expression, and the harmonious chaos that music brings to life. Get ready to be swept away by a symphony that resonates with the souls of those who seek a refined and captivating sonic experience.

Italian legend Walter Del Vecchio aka Quiroga pays tribute to the acid house era on Hell Yeah with a new package that comes with two originals, an ambient mix and a remix from cult hero DMX Krew.

Quiroga released his last sublime album Passages on this label and it came as the latest entry into a discography filled with beauty and detail. He is a talented musician from Naples who has his own left-of-centre take on the Mediterranean sounds of the city, as he shows "once again" here with a house-leaning outing.

Quiroga has teamed up with cult musician Dario Bassolino and called upon Whodamanny's mixing skills for these new tracks.

First is 'Once Again', a punchy and chunky house cut with skewed bass spraying about the mix. Its rough analogue edges are lit up by searing acid lines that never quit and will turn any party into a cauldron of intensity.

The Ambient Version is a full-flavour downtempo workout that keeps the wild acid lines, adds in some FX, old-school piano chords and a yelping female vocal next to a blissful breakdown.

'Once Again' (DMX Krew Remix) is then a bumping acid-electro monster with fat drums and the manic 303 offset by serene chord work to make for a perfectly emotional dance floor delight.

'Freak The Funk' is a second original cut and not at rides of crisp snares and snapping drums breaks with a warm bassline and smeared cosmic chords up top. It's a classy peak-time house cut with magical pixelated synth melodies.

Alongside superb artwork from PlanetLuke, this is another essential package from Hell Yeah.

Quiroga - Once Again

Man Power - Snctfy Yrslf Man Power's Breakfast Club Sandwich Edit) Released 20/10/23

Set to release this October 13th via La Belle Records. Azaria & Andrea Lacoste join forces for "Hexagrama". This collaboration see's one of the most intriguing producers from the low BPM electronic scene (who we previously welcomed a year ago for our VA "One Night Stands 3") work alongside one of the most eclectic singer / producers around.

Azaria & Andrea Lacoste continue on a journey of musical experimentation. The sound of this new record might surprise fans who are familiar with Azarias earlier release "Bugs". This collaboration with the Venezuelan multi-instrumentalist artist exemplifies the organic synergy both artists display.

The EP delves into the ritualistic elements found in African and Oriental sonorities, as well as music with psychedelic influences. It features a blend of Latin beats, Amazonian rhythms, drums, and other ethnic resonances, all of which create a tribal and immersive atmosphere that invites the listener into their world. Layered over these percussions are melodious tunes, ethereal voices, and continuous chants that augment the hypnotic musical backdrops, reminiscent of mantras. The result is a sound framework that ebbs and flows with dreamy, serene, and experimental touch. It's a fusion of the electronic and the organic, distinguished by a unique touch that sets it apart in an era flooded with music.

This record's aim of folk-ancestral revival is consistently evident. The EP opens with "Soleil," characterized by its laid-back rhythm and sensuous vocal work. Followed by "Jayeechi Wayúu," which combines a straightforward House beat with intricate percussion and layered influences. "A New Jam" immerses us further, with melodic drum work, with spoken word serving as a counterpoint to the bustling rhythm in the background. "Bright Mood" propels us deeper into the tribal concepts whilst the title track "Hexagrama" pulls you in with its darker layers over a 4-to-the-floor beat.
