It had been a week since he'd looked at the news; he had to check out for a little bit — it was all becoming too much. Good news was few and far between; nowadays the cycle consisted of devastation, of loss, of violence and oppression, a doomscrolling exercise that only had a negative outcome. Elsewhere there were tall tales, outlandish conspiracies and fake news, warping the minds of people across the world... There were positives happenings out there, but where to find them?

Since 2019 Good Skills, the label run by Lithuanian DJs and producers Roe Deers and Titas Motuzas (BDHBTS), has represented "the noise of Vilnius' youth", building a space for local talent to share their creations with the masses. Next up from the pool of Lithuanian music makers is Shkema who comes through with his debut LP 'Kronikos', split into two parts, inclusive of four originals and four remixes. Described by the producer as a “world news show, where each song represents a different story”, the release pulls from real experiences, hearsay and entirely fabricated stories — some of which get a rerub from Simple Symmetry and Each Other, the project of Justin Strauss and Max Pask.

Kronikos Pt. 1

PREMIERE: Shkema - Ispanija (Each Other Remix) [Good Skills]

Modern Slavery is a 4-track EP including two original tracks and two remixes. Aurum delivers two slow-moving tracks driven with dark atmospheric sound design with obscure programmed female vocals layered with energetic basslines.

The second track ‘Vicious dreams' takes a groovy twist. With a consistant looping bassline pattern which forms the primal pace for the piece. Relative to it’s sister track ‘Modern Slavery’ Aurum keeps the continuity of mysterious vocals to couinside the intrusive rolling basslines. Complemented with upbeat old school lead sounds and crisp percussion.

New Jackson - Sat Around Here Waiting (Fort Romeau Remix)

Artist: Various Artists
Title:  Freerange 200 PartB
Release Date:  23rd March (Vinyl) 30th March (Digital)
Format: Vinyl/Digital
Cat No: FR200B & FRD200B

It’s with great pride (and a certain sense of defiance!) that Tom and I present
you with the 200th Freerange release. Despite the best efforts of three bankrupt
distributors, an arsonist (who set the Sony warehouse ablaze back in 2012) and a
volatile market, we retained the fire in our bellies, a stiff upper lip, and most
importantly an unrelenting passion for electronic music, we soldiered on and here
we are at Freerange 200!
To mark the occasion we wanted to put together a compilation of exclusive new
tracks from both long-standing Freerange regulars as well as some fresh artists
to the label whose music we’ve been loving.  Being committed to vinyl we figured
the best way would be to do a two part release with four-tracks on each part.

Turning to Part B we open with a brilliant track with almost as good a title;
Hamburglar from Luv Jam.  This guy has been responsible for killer cuts on
esteemed labels such as We Play House, Tsuba and Phonica White so we wanted in on
the action and thankfully he indulged us.  We absolutely love the raw simplicity
of this track which bumps along just perfectly with not much more than a kick,
clap and single note bass line to keep you grooving. Apart from the repeating
piano stab hooking you in and sending people nuts when everything drops out in
the break that is.
Esa & Mervin Granger come next with the sublime deepness of Goema Heat.  Esa’s
proudly wearing his Cape Town roots on his sleeves on this one and as the title
suggests, has come up with the perfect track to warm up any party worth it’s
salts. We’re talking heavy on the percussion and tantalizing synth FX and a
lovely tension which builds subtly before taking things up a gear after the
breakdown when the bouncing bassline comes to the fore.
It’s fare to say a Freerange release such as this wouldn’t be complete without a
Manuel Tur contribution, so while we’ve been busy putting together his
forthcoming Remix Retrospective LP we’re happy to say Manuel found the time to
put together this gem entitled Laguenesie.
And last but not least we have Kito Jempere with his track This Is Why We Do This
featuring Detroit luminary Jerry The Cat.  St. Petersburg native Kito drops
serious heat on this raw and dubby club jam which we feel is probably as close to
an ‘archetypal’ Freerange track as it’s possible to get so sums up this special
release perfectly.

Foggy Night drifts through a haze of dark, moody vibes with a chill atmosphere that pulls you in. Beneath the fog lies a heavy, driving kick and deep bass line that keeps your heart thumping. It’s the perfect soundtrack for late-night drives, introspective moments, or getting lost in your thoughts under city lights.

Tunnelvisions - Imaja's Drum (Bawrut Remix)

This VA is Ivreatronic birthday celebration. "We were born 2 years ago. We started throwing parties in an old cellar, in the basement of a wine bar. Then we realized many of our friends were producing really good music. We started releasing it since last year. Now we are supporting each other in our music production, living this whole thing as a family affair. Our individual growth is part of a collective growth. Working this way led us to develop (at least we’re trying) our own sound. A mixture of techno (often downtempo), afro and balearic rhythms, Italian samples and self irony. And above all we’re having fun together. This is our attitude. This is mostly something that makes us live better. Our parties are always crazy and magic, most of them are quite illegal, but our audience is growing bigger. We’re on fire!"

Mokadelic - Doomed to Live is the theme tune to the hit Sky original series Gomorra. In celebration of the enchanting classic, Crosstown Rebels commissioned Daniele Baldelli & Marco Dionigi, who produce two stunning ‘Nu Disco’ and ‘Dub’ remixes and Davide Squillace, who provides the equally impressive ‘Ethnik’ remix.

Based on the acclaimed book of the Neapolitan writer Roberto Saviano, Gomorra, is focused on the fierce Neapolitan crime organization, depicting street-level crime and its hierarchical organization from the pavement, all the way up to regional government offices. The original theme tune played a significant part in the success of the show and was quickly commissioned to be remixed. The end result of which is a stunning release featuring a selection of Italy’s seminal artists, who each represent a different aspect of the country’s long-standing affiliation to club music and culture.

Baldelli and Dionigi’s Nu Disco remix combines cosmic synth stabs alongside otherworldly pads to form a meaningful astral cut, whilst the duos Dub mix features swinging drum solos and an infectious wooing vocal throughout. Davide Squillace’s Ethnik remix of Doomed to Live is a tribal fashion, as hollow drums pave the way for a soothing, emotionally charged piano key that runs alongside shimmering Maraca sounds.

Daniele Baldelli is a veteran of the scene and considered by many to be the pioneer of Cosmic Disco, a sound that first came about during his club residencies at Italy’s Cosmic and Baia Degli Angeli. On top of this, Baldelli’s collaborator Marco Dionigi held a residency at Verona’s Alter Ego club for twenty years. Born in Italy’s Siena, it was a trip to London that ignited Davide Squillace’s passion for electronic music. The Italian native debuted as a Circoloco resident in 2007, and has founded multiple labels since, including Sketch, Hideout and Titbit.
