Following in the footsteps of Giorgio Lopez we have another newcomer on Horisontal Mambo.
Behind this balearic EP (or Donauleric perhaps?)we have Attila and Szilard aka Pleasure Voyage from Budapest. Teaming up as a dj and production team in 2018 they found a mutual love of disco and balearic sounds. In their own words "Pleasure Voyage is a cruise through the universe of feel-good music".
After a little touch up and additional mixing by Prins Thomas at Asker's B15 lab we're content on classifying this as a modern balearic classic.

PREMIERE : Pleasure Voyage - Daydreams

Kjære Mamma

The living legend has been in business for 25 years and has not lost a bit of freshness. In his usual manner, he returns with playful vocals and undeniable chopped up groove, Matthew Herbert at his best.

15 Years Drumpoet

It all started with a community of DJs and beatmakers. Inspired by the various electronic techno + house tingled music from Detroit and Chicago and a deep passion for UK bass music as well as US hip hop and 70’s soul-jazz. This crew of guys from Zurich and the surrounding area combined all of that and started creating a sound which they called b-boy house and teknowsoul. The first bunch of releases brought international breakthrough and artists like Soultourist, Quarion, Cavalier, The Lost Men, and John Daly left a deep impact and sparked the interest of the global dance scene. Back then Alex Dallas hosted the Loud Minority Nights at the infamous Dachkantine in Zurich, inviting special and like-minded international guests. Accompanied by the artists of the Drumpoet Community, this night became a blueprint and was continued in Alex's new club Zukunft (founded in 2005) and to this day the Drumpoet's host institutional nights there.

The club was always the spot where it all came together and where the new music was tested. it was clear from the very beginning that it had to embrace joy, passion, dedication, and positivity. Ron Shiller and Alex Dallas share the same philosophy when it comes to music. They do not jump on trends quickly. In contrary to the usual mechanisms of the hype dance music industry, they let the music breathe like a bottle of good old wine and take the time it needs to present timeless quality dance music.

This compilation manifests the long history of the label, the friendships made over decades, and the honest love for dance music. Drumpoet is more than proud to present a compilation celebrating the label's 15th or even 16th anniversary, with special performances by iconic artists such as Herbert, Roman Flügel, Frank Wiedemann, Manuel Tur, Lauer, John Daly, Kalabrese, Manuel Fischer, Nicola Kazimir, Ripperton and Jimi Jules. A journey into the world of sounds, profound without dogma and as brave and innocent as it gets.

15 YEARS DRUMPOET-Compilation available from 23.09.22 Limited 3-LP-Vinyl incl. special DRUMPOET-Bandana!

Exclusive Premiere: Matthew Herbert "Air" (15 Years Drumpoet Compilation)

Mexico City resident La Guardia De La Luz is back on Hell Yeah with a new three-track EP, The Magnetic Field, a perfect follow-up from his Awakenings EP back in late 2021. 

This Balearic-not-Balearic artist has been crafting his seductive sounds for many years. From lush deep house to stoner dub via psychedelic beats, he can do it all with a majestic sense of storytelling. This time out he has his sights set firmly on the dance floor as he mixes up breakbeat, reggae and disco. 

'Kingston Technologies' has an irresistibly wiggling dub rhythm. Dusty breakbeats and digi-synths dance around one another as warm chords and jah-inspired vocals drift up top. It's a super fresh tune that sounds like nothing else out there. 

The epic ten-minute workout that is 'Planetary' builds on deep-cut house drums with funky bass playing and louche percussion. It's an early evening classic that will see any floor slowly fill up as people shake their booty to the loose rhythm and get lost in the soulful melodies that grow ever more cosmic. 

Finally, the title track is another nearly 10-minute masterpiece with silky star-gazing arps circling up through the mix over lazy breaks. It's an expansive track with a widescreen design that has you gazing off to the distance and lost in a loved-up deep disco reverie. 

These are three inventive tunes that take you to another world.

London label @hollick_nobaddays launch an edits offshoot, linking up with @m-zaika, a Poland producer who inaugurated the label last year under his former Selvy alias.  Sampling a little known New Age cassette, 'Cave' harks back to the 1980s, with nods to italo laced with video game flavours.

Møzaika - Cave (STW Premiere)

'Lonely Planet,' the 2017 debut album from Tornado Wallace, found the new age-loving Australian reaching new levels of sophistication, and now his creations have been given the remix treatment. Slated to arrive on March 16 via Gerd Janson's Running Back label, the new EP features reworks from veterans like I:Cube, Move D and Prins Thomas. The latter is a slow-burning exercise in cosmic disco, and it debuted on Red Bull Radio's First Floor, our weekly look at what's new in electronic music.

MONTAUK - MAGIC

We've not seen or heard too much from Glasgow man Ali 'OOFT!' Herron in a little while, so we were happy to lay eyes on this, his forthcoming EP for the Clandestino crew.

Having released a steady stream of high-grade underground club sounds – ranging in style and tone from slow-motion disco to organic sounding house – OOFT! first came to our attention over a decade ago, with outings on Delusions of Grandeur and Instruments of Rapture, as well as the L.E.S.S. Productions label he ran with The Revenge. He's also graced the rosters of labels including Wolf Music and Quintessentials, Midnight Riot, and his own FOTO imprint.

He has a knack for capturing an infectious hook and has turned-out a selection of essential edits over the years, but here he delves deep into realms of emotive, classic-sounding house with a delicately varied EP.

There's a distinctively retrospective essence to the entire EP, which wouldn't have sounded out of place in the '90s golden era, alongside the output of Pacific Records and the like. Opener 'Reclaim Landscape' is a blissful sunrise jam, it's staccato acid line providing the steady core around which emotive pads soar and hypnotic spoken-word vocal permeates. 'Obligatory Consumption' retains the lush atmospheric texture but has a more urgent feel, upping the tempo and adding a Detroit-influenced chord progression to take it further into club territory.

El Clinico Magnifico' is the most mellow of all the original versions here, gently chugging along as ethereal waves swell and subside. On '21 Processes' the emotive feel continues, rich but melancholy pads rise over a rubber band bass and crisp drum programming, with snappy snares adding energy over the evolving melodies.

Balearic leaning housers Clandestino complete the package by offering up a pair of lovingly crafted remixes of 'Reclaim Landscape'. The first version stays true to the essence of the original, unfolding over a lively arrangement adding a respectable rave break and organ stabs to the repurposed acid part. The 'Beach Version' drops the tempo and pulls the drums right back to deliver a super-chilled ambient excursion, introducing the track into purely horizontal realms.
