A Sound Test

Following their hugely well-received, refreshingly outlandish debut EP for Phantasy, Israeli club outsiders Red Axes return to the label with another three-track delight of leftfield dance entitled ‘Sound Test’.

Debuting on Phantasy in 2018, ‘Sipoor’ by Red Axes was massive. The release received critical acclaim, not to mention heavy support within the club realm from DJs like Call Super, Jennifer Cardini, Ewan Pearson, Fort Romeau, Massimiliano Pagliara, Chloe, and many more.

Highly soughtafter by those who’ve heard Erol Alkan unleash it in recent months, ‘Sound Test’ kickstarts Phantasy Sound’s 2019 - a rolling tool for a dance floor sliding into another dimension, constructed around a dramatic, numeric countdown. A minimal, skeletal build builds (and builds!) throughout to one of the most out-there breakdowns in recent rave-blotted memory, as the Axes slowly but surely rebuild their house to even more outlandish new proportions. Ten, nine, eight, seven...

‘Shabak Shalom’ quickly snatches the record back from outer space and drags it deep into the basement, zoning in on the gritter, strobe-ready sound that defines the duo’s most club-ready work. All of the Axes’ weapons of choice are deployed as unusually as per usual; militant drums, battered electronics, fucked- frequencies, wiry post-punk guitar lines and lovingly drowned traditional instruments blend to create their own special, slightly-menacing interpretation of hi-NRG.

Finally, on the unapologetically sprawling and immediately effective closing number, ‘Kookoo Papa’, Red Axes demonstrate their inherent talent, if proof were ever needed, of conjuring rolling, simmering tension in otherworldly shades. Those who enjoyed the cartoonish motor FX of ‘Teroof’ will be delighted to find themselves found into an even wackier race this time round, hitting on the origins of Chicago jack, acid meltdowns and screeching no-wave.

Berlin techno icon Ellen Allien marks the launch of her brand new (and aptly named) music label, UFO Inc, with a two-track EP that drops on January 28.

Ahead of the release, Mixmag is pleased to share Ellen Allien's lead single off the EP, 'UFO' - a track that serves as "a mediator between earth and heaven, i.e. the concrete dancefloor and a feeling of transcendental rapture - the kind of track that lifts you up from where you dance and takes you away to new spheres." 

Filled with playful texture, rotund synths and acid-tinged euphoria, 'UFO' is considered "the definite UFO Inc. manifesto: rough music from and for the here and now, opening a pathway into the greater unknown."

This uplifting and cosmic slammer has been on heavy rotation by Ellen since summer 2018 and is bound to continue to make a considerable impression on dancefloor everywhere.

With „Solarplex“ Matthias Schuell presents a dark and energetic club track with a memorable hook on Ritter Butzke Studio that has the potential to leave marks on international dance floors. Dahu interprets this massive track with a more rhythmic and bassy notion and sets the melody as a percussive element. Baime approaches the track more avantgarde with screaming synth sounds and a pitch distorted melody.


The second track “Walpurgis Night” lives up to it's name. The arrhythmic and driving percussions find their finale in a huge break with accelerating pizzicatos that mimic the lift off of a witch on a broom. Kid Simius takes this sound and rhythmic components and transforms this Walpurgis Night into a magical club night.

DIMENSION QUATRO CLOSE 13 TH SEASON PARTE 2

BIO:
Dario Arcas was born in Neuquen (south of Argentina).
He..s considered one of the leading pioneers in the electronic music scene down south in Argentina, for his extreme professional dedication, his love for vinyl and his acclaimed parties.

Even though Dario as a child, remembers his father showing him Bee Gees, Donna Summer and Aretha Franklin tapes (while his close friends listened to Alan Parsons Proyect, Jean Michel Jarre and Kraftwerk) his DJing carrer began when he first met DJ Raul Garganta Gimenez. A man who made him explore the 70..s music influences into the 80..s electronic music that was just emerging.

Around 1992/93, Dario is introduced into the hard house and vocal house sounds, coming out on various labels such as Strictly Rhytm, Ministry Of Sound, ZYX Records and Epic Records, and thus, broadening the musical horizon of style and sounds that never stopped growing.

Taking into account, that in the early 90..s the music was so broad and diverse, Dario used to play everything from Manchester indie music and pop, to his biggest influences such as Paul Oakenfold, Frankie Knuckles (he followed his career since the 80..s) and groups like Underworld, The Orb, The Shamen and Afrika Bambatta.

1994 was a turning point for Dario, as new big name producers and DJs emerged, such as David Morales, Danny Tenaglia and Junior Vazquez, and new labels such as Tribal America, Tribal UK, Mercury and Strictly Rhythm started releasing tribal house (in all it..s variants). He was instantly hooked.

In that same year, Dario and Raul put up one of Argentina..s biggest Open Air music festivals in the south, with 4000 attendants dancing for more than 7 hours, something unseen at that time. This party in particular, set the way for electronic music down south.

In 1996, acid house and trance emerged, and new names such as Dave Clarke, Victor Calderone, Arman Van Helden, Robbie Riviera, Sasha, John Digweed, Danny Tenaglia and Green Velvet became instant references.
The parties, that began with a small group of EDM followers, started growing considerably.

In 1997 he started a radio show called "Dimension Quatro" (still on air) to promote electronic music that he believed touched the emotions and senses of its listeners.

In 1998, Dario travels to New York (home of tribal), and comes back fascinated with the electronic music culture of the city.
Twisted America becomes one of the most important labels at the time, until in 1999, Bedrock Records drastically changes Dario..s music, getting him into progressive house, and the european house sound.

In 2000, Dario was full into progressive house. He got influenced by local star Hernan Cattáneo, and others such as John Digweed, Sasha, Max Graham, James Holden, Dave Seaman, Deep Dish (he..s been following them since 95), Sander Kleinenberg, Steve Lawler, Nick Warren, Timo Mass, Danny Howells, BT, Laurent Garnier and Satoshi Tomiie, and thus, his sound evolved with such interesting influences.
He also started a series of parties called "Groove Alta Patagonia" that where to continue until 2006, and defined the electronic music scene of his home town, where he shared booth with many DJs.

From 2005 on, his sound drifted into tech house, techno and minimal sounds, but with the right melody, groove and structure. This same year, Dario play at Creamfields Buenos Aires.

Nowadays, Dario embraces new sounds, as he did throughout his entire career, when playing out.

On december 2007 he produced "Alan Parsons Proyect - Voyager (Fefo + Dario Arcas first mix)" sums up his varied influences, and has been getting support from Hernan Cattáneo,martin garcia, MOS and Baunder among others. 

On Aug, 2010 he produced another single wich it is included in Hernan Cattaneo's - Parallel (Renaissance - The masters series), again Fefo + Dario Arcas - Take me away - EP Released on Sudbeat on September 01, 2010.
