 The uk-based label @talkingdrumsrecords introduces you to the French-based @plasticbamboo for their second release, with a deep balearic and dark-disco trip across raï sounds. On the A1, Plastic Bamboo double doses an unknown new beat 7” extending the Arabic acid delight for a six-minute soak. Properly peaking and packed with Middle Eastern flava, ‘Râ Beat’ is primed for dance floor demolition.

For their first release ‘Foule Contact Vol.1’, the Parisien-crew @pompelope saw things big, with a clear leitmotiv: going from the virtual world to real-life and connect all together in each and every one of those tracks, covering a wide range of music genres. 

The compilation opens itself with @gui-scott, head of the incredible @goptun parties in São Paulo. His track is an invitation to dream and travel, in a captivating, sensual dub, following the tradition of Brasilian Reggaes.

Jogada, the group behind PÚCA001, a Berlin-based trio made up by João Comazzi, Dave Murrin & Gavin Kenny. 

‘Cavalo' is their debut release and is the result of a string of weekly sessions held throughout the stagnant year of 2020, when they were forced to put their dancefloor energy into the studio. After years of friendship and sharing music together, they started exploring what happens when different musical backgrounds join forces.

The group is heavily inspired by traditional Brazilian rhythms, instruments, and sounds from nature, infused with some dusty synthesizers and a quest for exploring the unknown.

BS Radio VOL.02, the second compilation made of brand new and fresh tracks curated by @carnevaliakavolantis and @acidgigi.

'Green Wall' atmosphere relies on lush pads which contrast with the rhythmical pattern enriched with a cascade of percussion. Dreamy synths kick in in the second half of the track, empowering the ethereal mood of the track.

In the words of the curators, this compilation is a shifting journey driven by the desire to make people dance again, embracing the night and abandoning themselves to the music.
It’s an energy, an hymn to the club culture as we were used to know it, sweating and feeling free on the dancefloor.

Three hours excerpt jumping between proggy tracks to wonky and warped basslines, and rounded out by some spaced-out ambient interludes and dreamy house synths - well worth the journey 🌱

More than just an up-and-coming artist and DJ, @belaria gives herself the space to carry us off into a far- from-club world, where shortened tracks come thick and fast.  She challenges us to slow things down, to let time take its course, and guides us on a synth journey that's at times coldwave, a pinch of post-punk, somewhat Italo-esque, but not really. Something new, different and genuinely charming.

CTW Podcast #36 @ XTAL
Crue-L Records, Beats In Space (JPN)

XTAL’s music career took off in 1995. He teamed up with his friend k404 as the DJ duo Traks Boys, who also produced numbers of their own music including “Starburst / Yellow Birds” released under Internasjonal, a Norwegian record label organized by Prins Thomas.
Crystal, his solo project, maintains constant releases from labels such as Crue-L, Beats In Space.
As a DJ, he keeps the weekend floors floaty, euphoric and groovy. In 2016, he not only renewed his alias to XTAL –still the same pronunciation as Crystal– but released his 1st solo album “Skygazer” from Crue-L Records. The album is conceptually experimental but still clearly shows his endless interest in and love for House, Techno, Disco, and Japanese City Pops.
Let yourself be carried away by the groovy beats he selected for you !
