Dogs In The Streets

Delicate Disorder

The truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth: ‘Honest Paradigm’ sees Hard First bossman https://soundcloud.com/corneliusdoctor making his EP debut on Correspondant with full fire fidelity. 

Deep, dark, deliriously cosmic – and featuring the likes of DC Salas, Curses, Damon Jee, Vongold and his own leading lady Rita – across four originals Cornelius guides us through his moody universe. Heavy waves of synths, acid lines and a whole array of trippy textures, strap in and feel the Gs as the good Doctor prescribes us a whole range of musical remedies. From the sultry stalks of ‘Dogs In The Streets’ to much more direct and uptempo new-beat styles of ‘Celestial Bodies’, you’ll be hard pushed to find a more honest or forthright EP in your promo box. Bring on the new paradigm.

Free Shelter invites the Hard Fisted Flying Frenchman, Cornelius Doctor, for their 36th guest mix on IDA Radio. 

With residencies at infamous watering holes like Le Sucre Lyon and airwave frequency stations like Mutant Radio, the name Cornelius Doctor should not be unknown… But what if it is?

Besides his residencies, the man of the hour has made (probably his biggest) imprint via the critically acclaimed label Hard Fist. Focusing on hard hitting sounds with hints of musical soundscapes from every corner of the room. A big favorite from our crew. 

Now that you know a wee-bit about his background, it’s time for your appointment. The mix is filled with sounds that has made the career of Cornelius what is it today, in other words: don’t be scared, the doctor will see you now.

Elektric Bazaar proudly presents "Magic Woodland," the latest sonic and visual masterpiece by IBÄ, a visionary artist whose roots are deeply entwined with the essence of psychedelic rock and electronic music.

This release promises to transport listeners into a world where the boundaries between reality and the mystical blur, guided by the shamanic artistry of Ibä through his original track and video clip.  

"Magic Woodland" is an odyssey crafted to evoke the enchanting atmosphere of an ancient forest, where every note is a step deeper into the wilderness of the mind. The track is a fusion of acid techno, indie dance and psychedelic rock, creating a rich and immersive soundscape, led by IBÄ’s electric guitar.

The video clip depicts IBÄ as a shaman, leading his tribe and the main character, played by French actor Julien Crampon, to a magic forest, referring to the artist’s place of life, where he has found peace of mind.

You Man, Cornelius Doctor and Karla Lynch added their touch of magic.

PREMIERE: IBÄ - Magic Woodland (Cornelius Doctor Dance Like 99 Remix) [Elektric Bazaar]

The master, the chief-cooker, the unquestioned authority of the scene.
If all those epithets are not enough, we’ll reveal the name – mix number 41 is made for us by Cornelius Doctor himself.

Unleash yourself, erase the boundaries, let yourself feel the music without any prejudice – plug in this mix and dive into the abyss of sound.

It’s been some kind of a leap of faith if you want, when we decided to drop the mix, but it’s way too important for us, and that’s what we want to promote – the idea of limits existing inside. Erase them. Break the walls. Evolve with the music.

The mix is not homogenous, however listening to it will drive you through the kaleidoscope of emotions and feelings.
It’s an experimental masterpiece.

It’s a set recorded by Cornelius Doctor for Disco Pastors. 

Mix №: 041 – Cornelius Doctor

Some records are answers to questions no one asked out loud. With Where is Acid Eric, Cornelius Doctor & Tushen Raï deliver a psychedelic missive from a parallel timeline — a time-traveling tribute to Goa’s golden age, filtered through their unmistakable signature.

Returning to their home base Hard Fist, the duo steps into new territory with this release, and yet, it feels like they’ve been heading here all along. This isn’t a retro-fetishist trip, nor a copy-paste homage. It’s a reimagination — of a sound, a space, and most of all, a spirit.

The EP is rooted in the mythic nights of late-80s and early-90s Disco Valley, where British acid house collided with Indian hedonism, where freedom wasn’t a pose but a necessity, and where dancefloors became temporary utopias. But in the hands of Cornelius Doctor & Tushen Raï, this past gets warped, stretched and reanimated with 2025’s tools and sensitivities.

Across three extended tracks, the duo summons a sound that’s dense yet breathable, tribal yet precise, nostalgic yet futuristic.
They weave Goa’s swirling trance lines with broken rhythms, analog squelches, and post-industrial textures. The acid lines are sharp, but never cliché — more mantra than gimmick. Voices float in and out like half-remembered chants. Basslines slide, hypnotize, and then vanish in a cloud of smoke. It's not a flashback. It's a vision.

The title, Where is Acid Eric, feels like a lost broadcast — part question, part invocation. Eric is a symbol. IS Eric a ghost ? The true legend of a forgotten raver on a dusty Anjuna morning. What matters is the search. The longing. The dance.

Hard Fist, true to its form, continues to blur the lines between ritual and rave, tradition and invention. And with this record, Cornelius Doctor & Tushen Raï don’t just revive a genre — they reconnect with an ideal: dance music as exploration, as transcendence, as resistance.

One foot in the dust, one foot in the cosmos. The answer isn’t important. The trip is.

Since the birth of Hard Fist project in 2016, Cornelius Doctor has been advocating for an uninhibited approach of dance music, opening club music to the sound of the world, willing to bring back the essence of dancing together, ritually, staying outside the dance music dogma.

Standing at the convergence of cosmic, discoid and wavy sounds, using percussion, dark synths, psyche voices, breaks and bells as some of the best weapons. 

In the past years, Cornie has been releasing music under his own name or together with Hard Fist bro Tushen Raï, on label such as Tom Tom Disco, Ombra International, Duro, Correspondant, Playground, Cashminus, Karakter, Play Pal, Permanent Vacation, ZZK, Total Totem, Disco Hamam, Mutant Radio, Espacio Cielo, Logical, New Day Everyday, The Magic Movement, Magician on Duty, Sweat Records, Rock To The Beat, Serenades, Crosspopint Records, Blanc Manioc, Belly Dance Services...
