First up on side A we have that man again Stefano De Santis with Broken Fusion, a typically wonderful track pushing all the right buttons, a much darker affair than his previous three tracks for us. Following on from there we have Melchior Sultana who rounds off side A in style, where Malta meets Detroit, a peak time track for the dancefloor. This is Melchiors third appearance on one of our Best Of Various compilations and all three are superb pieces of music. Onto side AA and Jose Rico with two tracks both superb deep journies into Detroit musical territory. Jose is joined on both by Ruben Valero, both Silence Sentences and Minimalism are must have tracks for anyone who is a fan and follows Jose's music. Finally Caruso serve up some Latin inspired music and beats for a heavy workout.

First Word Records - February 2023

For our first go, Cracki Station had the privilege and joy to welcome the French dj/producer Myd, the London based dj/producer Laurence Guy and dj/producer Yung Prado for a B3B set !  This greatest trio offers us an incredible mix going from the underground house influences of Laurence Guy, with a hint of electric wavy house touch added by Myd and Yung Prado.   Guests, find them on :

Myd : https://www.instagram.com/mydsound/?hl=fr

« Introduced to fans as a member of electronic band Club Cheval, Myd learned through tireless work and experimentation. It was a passionate environment upon which to build a foundation, yet there are always concessions and compromises involved with pleasing a group. After co-producing Brodinski’s album Brava and making beats for a host of rappers, Myd now stands on his own, unabashedly showcasing his eccentric flair, even singing on his own tracks. At times, his music is fun and flirty, other times thoughtful, dreamy and warm with intergalactic fuzz. It's intimate, dripping with synth-heavy shine, and in its weathered corners and rich textures, lies the autobiography of Myd – at least in this moment. But even more since he joined Pedro Winter's clan at Ed Banger records. Flirting between electro and indie pop, Myd knows how to unify the crowd »

Yung Prado : https://www.instagram.com/yungpradito/

« Yung Prado is part of the leading collective of the electronic scene in Barcelona. He has released references on international labels such as MMODEMM Frankfurt and Young Ethics by Dj Seinfeld. His debut "What's Up?" It has played both at major events such as the Boiler Room x Telekom Electronic Beats Budapest 2020 and on the prestigious NTS Radio in London. His party-focused rhythms, combined with hypnotic vocals, have become his letter of introduction. The eclectic artist has been making waves within his local scene and beyond, with greats at events like Brunch In The Park Madrid, Parc Del Forum Barcelona and also at events with his Mainline collective.

Laurence Guy : https://www.instagram.com/laurenceguymusic/

« Having crafted his own signature of contemporary underground music, Laurence Guy has enjoyed notable commercial success - over 60 million streams and counting - and amassed a collection of loyal listeners and tastemakers, all of whom are united in an appreciation for his outstanding production abilities and talents as a DJ and producer. »

The first reaction of the majority would be « They’re crazy ! » when seing for the first time Mainline Magic Orchestra’s show. Founded by Nile Fee, John Heaven, JP Sunshine and Daniel 2000 with its trademark high energy pace and zaniness. The release of their first EP called Tettsui in 2021 drove them from the Empordà to the top of the dance floor. Through 4 tracks, the album offers 2 types of ambiances. The first one with its Ibiza’s 80’s style and the other one with its striking melodies thoughts for the dance floor. 

The Barcelona quartet knows how to gather their passion for house music with a hint of humour well-delivered and surprising.

In 2020, she starts to think of a musical, visual and theatrical artistic performance « Plein Feu », which aims to merge her worlds by mixing DJset, video projection, audio extracts and theater.
This hybrid and theatrical show aims to reaffirm the place of electronic music culture within the cultural landscape.
On the other side, she is also works on a podcast version of this format, and offers parallel forms for other radio stations (Petit Bain x La Mairie de Paris, Noise Spreading, FEAT, or Ola Radio) and festivals.

Wipe The Needle is a UK-based artist that has previously featured tracks on influential record labels including Defected, Soundmen On Wax, Local Talk and Deeply Rooted. The EP's title track 'Hornsey Rise' is full broken affair with trippy synth stabs and a great percussive flair. The track builds and transcends through dancefloor bruk to nu jazz in his unique and very cultured way.

New Digital Fidelity has been making sweet moves recently with a debut on the lauded Moods & Grovers label out of Detroit followed up by a single on his own Scopic Records. 

Now he brings his class to Crush On The Beachside and again shows off his love of Detroit house vibes. Opener 'Crush On The Beachside' is raw and intense with humid chords and jacked-up drums, then 'Shattered' brings more loose and jumbled beatdown grooves and 'Crush On The Beachside' (K15 remix) is then bubbly, jazzy and cuddly. 'Cracking' rounds out with more rich chord work and bristling drum funk.

Artist: New Digital Fidelity
Title EP: Crush On The Beachside (incl. K15 Remix)
Label: Scopic Records
Format: 12” & Digital
Release Date: 14.08.2023

Red hot Italian DJ and production collective Aura Safari is back with a second full-length album, Island Dreams. It lands on Hell Yeah Recordings on September 15th and is another live and sun-kissed odyssey through balmy Mediterranean evenings, gorgeous sundown sessions and funky analogue grooves.  

Andrea Moretti, Lorenzo Lavoratori, Daniele Melloni, Nicholas Iammatteo, Lorenzo Francioli, Ruggero Bonucci and Nicola Pitassio are Aura Safari, and between them, they play drums, percussion, bass, keys, and guitar. They contributed to the first volume of the Buena Onda compilation in 2020 on this label, a year after serving up a debut album on London's Church Records. Since then they have become ever more entrenched in their local scene in Perugia. They are skilled musicians and instrumentalists with an effortlessly charming sound inspired by having grown up attending the Umbria Jazz Festival and spending winters keeping warm at the legendary Red Zone Club, while these days and host their own Tropical Climax parties each month in the town centre.

Aura Safari are also deep-digging music collectors who have extensive and far-reaching tastes. When cooking up their sounds they draw on everything from Afro to Italo, house to disco, 80s boogie to world music, jazz and Balearic beats. This new album shows that once more across four sides of vinyl that sweep you up and transport you to somewhere idyllic.

The title track kicks off with steamy Mediterranean grooves embellished with lush Rhodes chords and sprinkles of cosmic magic. 'Sur Mon Balconnet' then slips into dubbed-out disco territory with 80s synths and leggy drums while 'Riserva Naturale' is a new-age jazz house sound with majestic lead synths and heart-melting chords that speak of a sunset dance on the beach. 'Onda' has squelchy boogie bass with hip-swinging drums, 'Wave Riding' is a lo-fi funk excursion with hints of West Coast Californian swagger and 'Magic Malbe' is loose-limbed Balearica with clear blue skies and blissed-out chords.

'Dancing in the Moonlight' featuring legendary Zeke Manyika has all the vibrant feelings of bubblegum pop with Afro vocals and steel drum sounds next to rich xylophone sounds. There is plenty of heat and exotic charm to the proto-Afro house of 'Tropical Climax' and as well as dub versions of 'Sur Mon Balconnet' and 'Dancing in the Moonlight' come the scuffed-up Dam-Funk style beats and boogie of 'Disco Mantra' before closer 'Patagonia' shuts down with elastic drums and bass and playful synth leads that send you home wanting more.

Island Dreams is a tropical escape to a rich world of fusion sounds that look back to go forwards. It's a feel-good record to accompany hot nights and lazy afternoons, cocktails at dusk and dancing till dawn.
