FREE CALL #13 : Cosa Rosa - Toledo Girl (Lau Tropico Edit)

Free Download : https://hypeddit.com/track/vgu730

Laurens Geerts (aka Lau Tropico) is an Antwerp-based producer and music selector with a big heart for the Balearic beat era. What's his sound? Well, think hints of Italo disco, mix some new beat, and then add some electro mixed exotic sounds. Yeah - this guy wants to bring the right grooves to make your boring place more tropical.

about the edit : 
Lau discovered Toledo Girl while looking for some Italo disco gems.
The melody had all the right ingredients to become a dancefloor banger. But it lacked power and a coherent arrangement.
At first, he just wanted to re-arrange the song but in the end, he created a new bass line, melody, and drums:  *Something New*
He edited this track during lockdown with a sweaty dancefloor in mind. So if you are looking for a new banger, this should be the one.

Fatima Yamaha - What's A Girl To Do (Captain Mustache Remix)

In a world where music is often consumed like fast food – quickly, passively, and barely savored – Maltitz offers an alternative with his new album, „Playa en Pankow“. A sonic feast designed to be enjoyed, not just consumed.

This album isn’t chasing hype, following trends, or seeking endless loops in playlists. Its only intention is simple yet profound: to make you smile, maybe dance a little, and, most importantly, to let you lose track of time – if only for a while.

It’s a heartfelt nod to the Balearic spirit, to Italo-Disco, and to an era when music told stories rather than just filling space in algorithmic playlists.

So press play, lean back, and let the waves carry you. This isn’t fast-track music; it’s a brief vacation for your soul. 🌴

Maltitz - Dienstags an der Plötze

Here at Bordello, the hot season has already arrived. Championing this warmth is Italy’s very own Hey Cabrera! The Turin based dynamo melds elements of electro disco, italo and house to create a uniquely aromatic blend of dancefloor joy. Clean drum patterns, claps and hi-hats are at the foundation of “Italo Void”. From these percussion points, a bold and ensnaring melody takes flight; glimmering synthlines shining from beginning to end. Fellow Bordello mainstay, Lauer arrives to bring his own analogue sound to the title piece. Accentuating that irrepressible tune, piano keys give extra ballast with a touch of late evening romance as we wait for the sun to come up. The flip transports us to Scandinavia for some unrequited love. Although “Forelskelse” may mean unexplored passions, this track is brimming with emotions. Burning with a smouldering energy, ingredients from disco to house combine to produce a wonderfully uplifting work. David Bay, of Zissou Records fame, closes with his interpretation of “Forelskelse”. A measured introduction gives way to those addictive notes of the original, Bay stripping back the samples to allow the instruments to sing. A soundtrack to see us into a magical summer.

PREMIERE: Hey Cabrera! - Italo Void (Lauer Remix) [BORDELLO A PARIGI]

Beyond The Struttosphere blast back into orbit with the release of ‘Planet Ogo’ on Discolypso. The title track is inspired by progressive trance and fuses a driving chug bassline with a hypnotic 303 sequence, distorted techno stabs and a trifecta of meandering arpeggiators, creating a wormhole through space and time. Thunderous power chords and nuanced percussion layering guide the track towards a cosmic void, echoing with mind-bending vocal samples from the cult sci-fi film ’12 Monkeys’, before a high-voltage crescendo transports you to the Planet Ogo. Remixes are provided by two masters of the scene: South Korean cosmic disco royalty, Shubostar, applies her trademark sound, introducing playful melodies, kinetic arps and retro-futuristic synths that elevate its seismic breakdown into outer space. Spanish new wave maestro, K-Effect, provides a more psychedelic contribution, weaving in tripped-out FX, clinical drum arrangements and low-end synths that propel the tune towards its ominous conclusion.

‘Cosmic Stuntman’, the second offering, is as intrepid as its name suggests. The first half is a minimalist soundscape defined by crunchy guitar riffs, energetic tambourines, cowbells and an array of spacey FX, before the second opens in throttle with a ferocious mid-range bass, cutting snares and cosmic pads that build in magnitude as the track reaches its spellbinding climax. Dionigi, alumnus of Italian cosmic sound movement, remixes the track into a low-slung chugger complete with glitchy vocoders that resemble scrambled UFO transmissions.

The EP concludes with bonus remixes of BTS back catalogue hits. ‘Replicants’, originally released on Mélopée Records in 2021, is resurrected by Berlin-based electronic rock n’ roll band, Tegel Boys, who transform the track into a krautrock-infused kosmiche space odyssey perfect for tuned-in psychic travellers. Mexican dark wave legend, Rigopolar, follows with a tranced-out remix bolstered by robotic arpeggiators and mechanical guitars that propel you to Mach-10. Completing the package are reinterpretations of ‘Storming Heaven’ which first appeared on Emerald & Doreen Recordings and pays homage to Jay Steven’s eponymous book on LSD and the American dream. Argentinian dark disco producer and member of Ralph Lawson’s 2020 Soundsystem, Julian Sanza, cranks up the funk and reconfigures the track into a Balearic sunset trip. UK godfather of chug Rich Lane isolates the original’s soaring guitar solo and reimagines the track into a mesmerising downtempo chugger tinged with psychedelia.

about the edit : " First of all, I always wanted to remix "Enjoy The Silence" since the day of its release. It's one of the most important songs of my life. This italo idea of a remix was playing in my head already for a few years. I started makin' it in 2019. I put first elements together, like kick, snare and bassline and then left the project for other things. 30 anniversary was a great opportunity to finally show it to the world, so I focused on this remix only on one of september's weekends and finally here it is. Enjoy."
