Dirk Voltaar's Autumn Lovings 2020

"Breaking Dawn" marks the 13th EP set for release on Heimlich Musik, with two original cuts tailor-made for the Viennese imprint by the legend that is Kalipo and remix contributions by no one less than Lauer, MontCosmik and Javier Busto. Combining the rough, pumping sound aesthetics of Italo Disco and Electro Clash with Slow House and Downbeat elements, Kalipo delivers two dark and slow tunes uniting influences of his first steps as a producer with his experiences during the last years. With a slight change in key, Frankfurt-based Lauer transforms "Breaking Dawn" into one of the uplifting
bangers he's known for around the world, with an almost Depeche Mode-like sound design.
MontCosmik’s interpretation of "Breaking Dawn" is based on a mighty bass line to bring back an oldschool vibe, supported by some nice arpeggiator lines and energetic drum elements.
Rounding up the EP as a whole, Madrid's Javier Busto creates explosive moments with the potential of letting a whole dance floor escalate, thanks to gritty electric guitar sounds with a lot of Rock ’n Roll attitude.

PRÈMIÉRE: Kalipo - Breaking Dawn (Mont Cosmik Remix) [Heimlich Musik]

The St. Petersburg-based label Avacha debuts on our platform with “999% HITS”, a vital 8-track compilation that amasses an interesting selection of domestic and not so domestic artists devoted to presenting the dark side of the contemporary music made both in Russia and the surrounding territories: Panorama Channel, Volta Cab, Wolfstream, White Magik, Soft Metal, Bogdan, Radial Gaze, and Olta Karawane spared no efforts to provide a proper showcase of their production skills, bringing together high standard pieces to enhance the importance of the VA release.

The track we were kindly solicited to review brings Kirill Rem aka White Magik depicting how disco mating with (good quality) early trance elements sounds. “Darkness” is definitely one of the highlights of the compilation. The intense synth layer and the vocal hooks led us into a journey through White Magik’s world: “Esoteric metamodern dance music filled with love, stress, and release.”

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://avacha.bandcamp.com/

We're super chuffed to have the legendary Sean Johnston on Gouranga for the first time!

A Mountain Of Rimowa is Sean Johnston of A Love From Outer Space and Hardway Bros. Johnston uses the AMOR alias to explore how his varied influences can be wrought into new shapes: mining the past for a path to the future. No More takes the optimism of an 80’s soul staple and reimagines it as a robotic Italo disco anthem. His Sisters and Brothers in the East takes cues from EBM and New Beat but bends them into contemporary forms. Conversely His Sisters and Brothers in the West is a reconstruction of the same material viewed through the lens of 90’s house heads such as Clivilles and Cole - a Music factory for the 21st Century. Joker takes inspiration from early 90’s ambient dub and repurposes it as an early morning work out in the cosmic hole. In line with The EP’s NYC house influence, New York heroes Justin Strauss and Max Pask are invited to remix No More, delivering a tough piano house reading which will work the floor and raise hands.
