Strapontin and Zillas On Acid have both previously had a release on Optimo Music Digital Danceforce.

After becoming aware of Philadelphia’s Zillas, Belgium’s Strapontin got in touch with them and suggested a collaboration. Strapontin says “I got totally attracted by that psychedelic rave vibe and asked to work together and see where our virtual meeting could lead us. Distant work was very simple, fluid and fun.”

Strapontin describes this release as “uninhibited, positively messy and pure rave fun”.

Zillas On Acid say “these tracks are the opposite of subtle, the sonic equivalent of a VCR biting your hand.”

They are both right.
Out on Optimo Music Digital Danceforce on March 12th

It had been several hours since the plane left the ground, bound for a far flung destination that was yet to be decided. Every passenger who embarked this plane left the location up to chance, in the hope of discovering something new, somewhere untouched and unspoilt by human hands. Nobody came home disappointed, and some didn't come home at all.

Following releases for Moustache, Bordello a Parigi and Permanent Vacation, French producer Eliott Litrowski makes his way to Utrecht-based imprint SoHaSo's offshoot OOSHA. Across the three original tracks on his 'Long Story Short' EP, he ties together his love of Dutch electro, French techno and Italo Disco, backed up by a heavy electro remix on the flip from a pioneer of the sound, DMX Krew.

Oscar winning director Dusan Vukotic made first science-fiction film in Yugoslavia in 1981. While receiving a modest critical reception at the date of release, „Visitors from the Galaxy“ gained a huge response from the audience which culminated in recent years with a proper and growing cult following. The groundbreaking electronic soundtrack by composer Tomislav Simovic was also first in its own genre: never before the complete score was done entirely using electronic equipment in a combination of melodic and experimental style. Croatian label Fox & His Friends Records released restored edition of original score five years ago. It was their debut on the label scene and marked their journey on a discovery of long forgotten first electronic soundtrack in Yugoslavia.
Thanks to the involved artists Fox & His Friends Records continue to break the rules and receive, as composer Tomislav Simovic and director Dusan Vukotic already did, a tribute to the hard work of finding, restoring and releasing the hidden gems from the history of ex-Yugoslavian music. Alen & Nenad Sinkauz (Croatia), Ali Renault (United Kingdom), Anatolian Weapons (Greece), Credit 00 (Germany), Drvg Cvltvre (Netherlands), Goran Vejvoda (France / USA), Heinrich Dressel (Italy), Repeated Viewing (United Kingdom), Security DJ (France), Tapan (Serbia) and Timothy Fife (USA) spared no time and their talent to pay a homage to Tomislav Simovic in a truly unique way of new analogue, abstract, electronic and synthesized dance floor friendly music. Similar compilations are rare: Steve Reich, Ennio Morricone and Peter Thomas Orchestra are some of the most famous ones who received similar treatment, making this mammoth project worth attention and careful listening. Tomislav Simovic, who sadly died in 2014, is also the first composer from ex-Yugoslavia region to be recognised among contemporary international electronic musicians as someone to be inspired with.

PREMIERE | Tomislav Simovic - Visitors From The Galaxy (Tapan Remix) [Fox & His Friends]

Party lovers and party starters grow up. We’re here today, excited as if it was our first time in line for the club, to announce our very first label project. As we believe good vibes go hand in hand with the good sound we made our vision real and loud: our very first release as BS Radio label is coming very soon. BS Radio Volume 01, a superb 11-tracks album compiled by the exquisite Eternal Love duo.

BS Radio, the music soul of Burro Studio, is music, events and people. So let’s get the party started.

BS RADIO VOLUME 01 - COMPILED BY ETERNAL LOVE
 
“When the lovely Burro Studio crew asked us to compile volume 1, we did not have any experience in curating a full musical discographic project. So, the easiest way was to ask friends to contribute to their music. We can definitely say we were lucky to be surrounded by such talented people ! Big thanks to all the artists involved for creating this emotional musical journey: the perfect soundtrack from the first warm lights of the sunrise to the lunar reflections of a summer night by the sea”.

After two stellar Split EPs with Das Komplex, Brazilian sound wizard ROTCIV delivers his first Solo EP on Luv Shack Records. With 4 intricate original cuts and a Massimiliano Pagliara remix, the Elev8tion EP is a bold testament to modern EBM.

The titular track sets the stage with a firework of dramatic synths, brash elektro beats and a fluttering acid line, finding a perfect balance between dancefloor appeal and leftfield quirkiness. 

Italian maestro Massimiliano Pagliara remixes "Elev8tion" in a straightforward fashion, opting for a percussion heavy drummachine pattern, a driving bassline and additional synth melodies, yet incorporating the original 303 to great effect.

On "Unbelievable", ROTCIV lays out a complex carpet of alternating arpeggios, heavily automated synth melodies and an array of weird vocal snippets, atop a minimalistic electronic drum track. "Muquifo", which literally translates to flophouse or dump (or shack?), is a slow burning breakbeat track with eerie strings and tripped out acid melodics, making it a hot contender for future afterhours. 

"The Morning After" is a similarly low slung track, with a broken beat and a distinct industrial flair, yet the synth melodies strike a more hopeful chord and have an almost cinematic feel to them.

Tracklist:

1. Elev8tion
2. Elev8tion (Massimiliano Pagliara Remix)

4. Muquifo

Fukuoka based artist Reqterdrumer (aka Tomoya Mastsubara) has been active since 1996 as a DJ and event organizer collaborating with some of the most renown DJs both at home in his native Japan and abroad. In 2008, a track he shared on the web caught the attention of Corey Gibbons; that same year he made his debut in Ibiza. Since then he has been collaborating with artists from all over the world, and releasing music on various labels. In 2014 Ken Ishii remixed “Suiren” a track that has been played by renowned djs such as Derrick May and Xhin. 2018 marked his label Blue Arts' 10th Anniversary while 2021 marks 25 years of events, djing and music. For this occasion Reqterdrumer decided to release on his label the EP "Remixed" featuring six remixes of his most recent releases by artists such as Drvg Cvltvre, and Kelton Prima.   Kelton Prima  

Kelton Prima is a french artist who started his journey in the late 80’s as a member of a computer demo band called Future Minds (the golden age of Atari ST and  Commodore Amiga computers). In the early 90’s, highly influenced by underground house and techno he began djing and producing his own music.  Since then, he has been involved in distribution, retail, the creation and management of labels, multimedia installations, musical performances with various contemporary artists, and has also been writing for the french musical press. These last years he went back to his roots : disco and electro-funk sounds, producing EPs, LPs, and remixes, with such labels as belgian Disco Praline, Chicago based Mathematics Recordings run by Jamal Moss, Pizzico Nobel, and more.

New York City-based House duo musclecars have been steadily building a formidable reputation within underground dance circles in their hometown. With the creation of their Coloring Lessons Party in 2018 (which is now a label), they sought to reinvigorate their city’s dance culture and foster a greater sense of community by highlighting and incorporating styles and genres largely associated with their Black ancestry. Shelter, (Building It Still) is the latest solo EP for the duo on their newly minted label.

	B-side track, “We Go Home Together”, is a gorgeous, patient, amorphous cut of experimental Jazz-House. Its blend of emotive jazz arrangements with a more propulsive club-ready House beat illustrates a meticulous, yet free-form approach to music-making that the duo thrives at. The track starts with a thumping bass and shifty percussion before an ethereal synth wash wraps it in a more gentle veneer. These club-leaning tendencies turn out to be mostly a red herring, as they’re kept mostly at bay throughout the song’s 7-and-a-half-minute runtime. Once the sax emerges, it’s clear musclecars has committed to their own unique brand of soulful, genre-agnostic House.

	As the track hits the halfway point, a piano-line suited for a classic Disco House cut signals yet another new avenue the duo seems keen on exploring. Despite their restless spirit, they never feel as if they’re trying to push too hard in one direction, ultimately allowing the track’s multifarious parts to playfully and organically interact with one another. Here, the duo prove just what naturals they are at concocting such ineffably blissful, melodically soothing dance music.

PREMIERE : Enflure - La Paix

Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia in the United States, @strandedmsk's material blurs the lines between post-punk, new wave, house, and disco resulting in an amalgamation of sounds and something unexpected.

The project's second single, 'Cherry Fortune,' shines a light on Stranded's post-punk, new wave influences with woozy guitars, elongated bass tones, and washed out vocals. Ripe for twilight drives or lazy afternoons, the atmosphere on this one is special.

Exclusive: Primary Perception - Neo Tokyo

Italian trailblazers Simone and Gabriele Giletta not only host events that have become known throughout the country but have established their Club Vision-label since September 2016. After five EPs Club Vision kicks off their 2021 with catalogue number six, which is the first various artist EP in the label's history: four artists/ acts, four tracks, all united under the roof of The Songs of the Distant Earth, a musical potpourri reaching from breaks to acid and back. The A1 comes from Gran Canarian brothers Primary Perception, who contribute their take Neo Tokyo to the EP. The track seizes Mahy and Nichel's - Primary Perception's real names – their musical roots that include influences from Hip Hop, Techno from Detroit and UK in nineties. Hence the duo delivers a break-ish and acid-like track that sounds so timeless that it could be the future of dance music as well as something you would have danced to electronic music's history. Intriguing chords over a 129bpm fast bass line combined with pads and bleeps turn Neo Tokyo to an imitable piece of music.

The Songs of the Distant Earth EP will be released on Club Vision Records.
