If the shoe fits, why not make it six?
Although that statement is more an alliteration than a rhyme, it has not deterred us at Play Pal from gathering together talent from across the globe for a sixth compilation showcasing an array of producers and musicians who like to lurk in the darker recesses of the musical spectrum.

The roster for this new compilation includes talented artists and friends such as Arvin Fajar, Andreas Rund, Vongold, Alberto Melloni, M Love, Leo af Ekenstam, and Manner Of Speaking.

PREMIERE: Alberto Melloni - Omega [Play Pal Music]

The respected Madrid-based Sagan Club collective started its beautiful journey nine years ago. In order to celebrate the occasion, they decided to put together a four-volume compilation series, coming soon on Cenital Music, featuring some of the artists who have already rocked the boat and set the roof on fire at their previous memorable events: Delone, JackWasFaster (SXDNS219), LagreSca, and Hyman Bass, one of the resident DJs and founders of the collective, brought their own worlds to the first chapter, following a backbone soundscape but keeping true to their own characteristic sonorities and focusing on what really matters: Keeping the dance floor happy, baby!

Premiered here, JackWasFaster’s collaboration definitely raises the bar of the already solid compilation. The interesting title, “Ora Et Labora” – or “pray and work” in English –, refers to the Catholic monastic practice of working and praying – and Jack worked hard and meticulously to deliver such a mind-blowing cut. Did he pray? No idea. The important is the outcome: The gripping vocal hook, rhythmic synth lead, and exhilarating acid layer he put together deliver a powerful and imperative theme.

Dina Summer (@dinasummer) are back with a vengeance! The international trio, a collaborative project of Greco-German couple Local Suicide (@localsuicide) and Bavarian producer Kalipo (@kalipo-1), are set to return with a bundle of 16 remixes of their critically-acclaimed album ‘Rimini’ on April 28th, 2023. It ranges from EBM, New Wave, Italo Disco, Electro & Indie Dance to House & Techno and features stunning reworks by Alexander Robotnick, Daniele Baldelli & Marco Dionigi, Theus Mago, Oberst & Buchner, Schlepp Geist, Fabrizio Mammarella, Italo Brutalo, Radio Gaze, Carolain Luf, Mufti, Back From The Wave & T.M.A.

The prolific selector, producer and owner of the Italian labels Slow Motion and New Era Fabrizio Mammarella follows, lending his trademark experimental touch to the ‘Rimini’ remix. He shows off his exceptional technical talent with this exclusive track, twisting it to bring out faded vocals and mechanical undertones that evoke the inner workings of a dysfunctional machine.

The artists met at a rave in 2013 and have been pushing boundaries ever since with their unique blend of new wave, late 90’s electro, and elements of 80’s disco. This new release comes after a busy year for the ever-prolific trio, following the release of their globally acclaimed debut album ‘Rimini’ which promptly sold out and received rave reviews for its effortless and refreshing blend of Italo, New Wave, Punk and Electroclash influences. Described as “the perfect summer album” and “a magnificent guilty pleasure”, it was featured in high-profile international publications such as FAZE, Groove, Tsugi, DJ Mag, and played on radio stations all over the world. 

Refreshing and unpredictable, these remixes take you along for a deep dive into a surprising variety of genres and influences that will take your breath away at every turn.

Apollon Telefax brings his unique synth craft and vintage drum machines to a new EP on Sinchi Music that features solo cuts, a collaboration with Max Rockid and remixes from Jepe and Tallac.

Apollon Telefax is a deep digging vinyl enthusiast, collector of music making hardware, illustrator and lover of science fiction, nature, and surrealism. All of this feeds into his innovative musical output as he blends house, electro, Italo, synth pop and EBM into transcendent trips on labels like Disco Bump, Calypso Records and Epicure Records.

He goes it alone to open up this EP with 'Nineteen', a tough disco cut with cosmic arps and frazzled bass powering the voyage through the stars. Darkened voices are offset by ever brighter melodies in this most vibrant of tracks. The fantastic 'Shine' is a collaboration with producer, DJ, engineer and Red Bull associate Max Rockid. Max is come Kazan, Tatarstan, he’s the founder of Rockid Sound Machine and has released on labels like Burning Sole and No Hlaf Steppin. This track is defined by a deadpan emo vocal as squirming leads burrow into the night and cold Italo synth sequences dart about the mix over tight drums and bass.

Berlin-based Portuguese talent Jepe serves up two remixes that see him push his sound as he always has before on labels like Diynamic. The first, a 'Nineteen' 303 Retake, is a cacophony of percussion, analogue drums and cowbells underpinned by lively acid lines and a slapping bassline. The second, a 'Shine' Refax, is more expansive, with big chords designed to get hands in the air and elevate a dance floor.

Tallac, an American DJ and producer based in Berlin, brings his mix of house, disco and Italo back to this label, having appeared here before. His remix of 'Shine' is an all out explosion of colour and retro-future disco grooves with steamy vocals providing the finishing touches in style.

This is another characterful EP of left of centre sounds from Sinchi Music and as always with this socially minded label, sales profits will be donated to the Sinchi Foundation to support indigenous peoples worldwide.

Shine

PREMIERE: Apollon Telefax & Max Rockid - Shine [Sinchi]

No one day was the same since they'd upped sticks and moved to the city. It had been an adjustment in the beginning but soon they'd slotted into urban life like the years spent in the countryside had never even existed. The hustle and bustle; the never-ending list of things to see and do; any food you want at your fingertips; the freedom to be exactly who you want to be without any judgment - they could no longer imagine themselves anywhere else but here... 

Robi Insinna is gearing up for the release of a brand new album under his Headman alias. In the lead up to the release he's releasing a number of singles with his signature dub versions and remixes from friends and affiliates. The third track to be released is a homage to his love of the 90s, blending elements of Indie and electronica and calling on the vocal stylings of Mexican DJ and producer Vongold to complete the track. On top of the original and the dub, the EP comes with a remix from Leipzig trio New Hook and another track titled 'Live120'.

Fronted by Greek native Dina P., 'Dina Summer’ is a collaborative band project by djs / producers Kalipo and Local Suicide.

After doing radio shows on local stations as a teenager, Dina began making waves as one of the first female DJs in Thessaloniki. She later moved to Berlin where she met her husband, with whom she formed the duo Local Suicide. The powerhouse has made a name for themselves releasing on labels such as Eskimo Recordings, Lumière Noire, Ombra INTL, TAU & more. Through their exploits, Beatport declared them as one of the key figures in the uprising dark disco scene. Around 2013 they met Bavarian born Kalipo while raving at Rock am Ring festival. At the time he was performing at the festival with his band, Frittenbude who are famous in German speaking countries for their unique mix of electro, punk & rap. Kalipo recently released his critically acclaimed fourth long player on KI Records which features artists such as Rampue, Ira Atari Oberst & Buchner & more.

It wasn’t until 2019 that the trio finally starting working on music together. The result was a unique blend of late ‘90s electro with elements of ’80s disco and new wave.
