[DHB067] Best of 2023

After their first collaboration for Odd Echoes Vol. 5, Fur Coat and Alfa Romero join forces once again to present their EP Antigone's Dream.

The opening track “Antigone s Dream”, is a melodic dance floor weapon. The mix of skills of these producers, create some unique synths, melodies and rhythms, with hypnotic touches, producing the perfect track for the peak of any dj set.

The second track of the pack, "Icarus Wings", brings a more celestial and trippy atmosphere. Showing little by little some synthesizers that complement each other, leading to the drop of the track, where that heavy drone bass appears, along with the melancholic chords, to return to the hook of the track with some epic chord stabs that will stay in your mind.

Going into a darker vibe, Fur Coat and Alfa Romero, present us with "Multiple Escapes", which also showcases each artist's signature mix of hallmarks, from the catchy arpeggio, to the groovy bass and percussion, the synth hook stabs and heavenly chords, delivering another gem to the EP.

The final track "Distant Future" is also a melodic and deep one, but it surprises us when the bass line enters, which turns it into a track with a quite funky and unique touch. The drop of this one has a very intense and emotional atmosphere that builds with the chords, and goes back to the funky groovy vibe.

Two titans of the electronic scene, @D-Nox & @StereoUnderground deliver two new gems.

After the hit single „Dolby“ on Einmusika, both artists are back with their next EP titled, “Gruuve.”

The lead track is a melodic deep groover that starts to get all wobbly and freaky, as the real filthiness and energy unfolds. Big and Bold!

And the second track 'Creativity' is more stripped back with spoken word. It’s techno slanted flavours are released before some nasty bass vibes flow… it packs a real punch!

Germany's D-Nox, one half of D-Nox & Beckers, runs his own Sprout record label while touring heavily as a solo DJ. His music has graced other big labels such as Selador and Stil Vor Talent to name a few. 

Stereo Underground, a leading figure in the Israeli new school techno sound runs Tel Aviv's BPM College, while releasing on Einmusika, Lost & Found, UV and Sprout.

Next up for Desert Hearts Black comes a transatlantic meeting of minds in the form of ‘Fade’ by heavy hitters John Monkman & Rinzen. 

As two artists with solo careers already in high gear, John and Rinzen have been in each other's orbits for a number of years via remixes and mutual collaborators. This marks their first track together - and what a debut it is! 

John is signed to a number of great imprints including Kompakt, Ellum and Last Night On Earth, and with a Beatport #1 and the endorsement of the scene’s elite behind him, he debuted his new live show at none other than Coachella Festival in 2018 wowing the critics in the process. 

Rinzen is a product of the burgeoning LA dance scene. Breaking out in 2017, he’s quickly established himself with releases on labels like Bedrock, Oddity and Factory93. Widely described as having an otherworldly sound, his unique soundtrack has delighted fans around the world at shows as diverse as Printworks (London), Stereo (Montreal) and beyond. 

Aimed squarely at the peak time, ‘Fade’ launches into life from the first beat. Techy percussion and synth washes marry with the killer drums for instant impact. Melodies up the ante - creating a sense of dancefloor euphoria from the first drop. Growing throughout the track, the tension is finally lifted with rich vocals delivered by Monkman, leading to an emphatic finale. An anthemic journey that will delight clubland all through 2023.

Berlin’s first lady, Anja Schneider, remixes Marbs’ recent hit record, ‘Whitefence’ 

Everyone has their origin story, Anja’s begins with the legendary club, Tresor. After a magical first experience and an epiphany that Techno could be her life’s journey, Anja moved to Berlin and set out to make her dreams come true. Some 30 years later, she has achieved more than she could ever imagine. A DJ throughout the ‘90s, she opened her production portfolio in 2005 with a Sebo K collaboration on her new imprint, Mobilee, a label which would become seminal. After 12 years at the helm, she launched her new venture SoUs and continues to push a warm, richly musical, tech sound. 

For her remix, Anja strips the original back to basics and injects a a ton of funk. Opening with wonky fx and a tough kick, subtle disco bass and vocal ad libs keep it groovy, baby. Riding the automation, the bassline mutates and envigorates to the break where a moment of calm is broken by a dancefloor of happy clubbers dancing their troubles away. A classic sound from the queen of clubland!

Something of a musical savant, Argentinian maestro Martin has been honing his craft since the tender age of 15. Now signed to some incredible labels including Infinite Depth, Sinners and Steyoyoke, his deep melodies and dark sound is quickly finding favour with the global DJ elite. 

‘They Won’t Be There’ is a glorious drumwork out that just gets better and better. Melodic swells unleash the energy midway, where the track explodes into life. ‘Arritmia’ explodes from the speakers from the off. A sleepy giant to start with, it wakes up with melancholic fury and emotive rapture. Spiky synths marry orchestral pads for a wondrous late night wig-out. Equally, 

On remix duties are two artists with worldwide weight and name. Analog Context toughens up ‘Arritmia’ for the main room floor with a thunderous low end and stripped back percussive framework. Axel Haube drops a four to the floor beat and focuses on the rich tapestry of melodics for a darker late night groove.

THE BEST OF BUNNY TIGER DUBS 2023

Dreams (feat. Kniagna)

Desert Hearts Black label boss Marbs is rounding off this wild year with a very special treat. When we think about 2023, it's been a year filled with highs and lows, good and bad. So what better way to end the year than with a tune that is not only capable of bringing out massive emotions on the dance floor, but also gives room for reflection? We know Marbs as a musical butterfly, making music that defies genre classification. "The Devil's Love" is Marbs in a brand new suit, something you have never heard from him before.

In "The Devil's Love", Marbs creates a transcendental atmosphere with an elegant piano and goosebump inducing vocals that smoothly draw us into the realm of breaks. A heavy bass sets in and together with the energetic groove it provides a powerful core, while keeping enough space for the intricate percussive elements. The track exceeds everything you thought you knew about Marbs, making it the perfect end to one year and the start of another.

Following last year's soul-stirring 'Incandesence' EP, Sly Faux slinks back into the MOOD camp with three more startling technoir escapades.

Goosebumps set to shudder: from the moment the palpitating sub and kick pattern of 'Dandellion' blooms into life, a fully immersive tale unfolds. The ghostly yearns, Rahmondau's harmonically layered, melancholic vocals, the cosmic textures, the overall rising sense of tension, the overwhelming low end… The young Australian talent is playing with some very fine alchemy right here.

'This Made You' flips for a much more visceral experience. Pounding tribal drums, ricocheting percussion and an abyssal drop into black hole bliss give no hint of the evocative cathedralic arpeggio that emerges midway. Gradually, some might even say slyly, Faux enshrouds us in a mystical hook that twists and turns, alluring our imagination with it. Once again, it's another mesmerising trip.

Finally MOOD mainstay and respected Spanish sonic craftsman Marino Canal closes the show with a fittingly beautiful remix. Subverting the lead and running it through his own maze of questions, answers and heavy emotions, it maintains the original's spiritual charm while adding its own narrative.

Overt techno mysticism at its finest, delivered just when we need it. We expect Sly Faux will be prowling back into the MOOD camp very soon again…
