IMPACT - Volume 1

Premiere: Massimiliano Pagliara ‘I Feel Romantica’

Pre-order: https://freeridemillenium.bandcamp.com/album/impact-vol-1

'IMPACT' came about after a conversation between Jorkes and Lisa Jäger, one of the curators of the WAF Galerie in Vienna. When lockdown hit and the parties were paused, they were left with nowhere to channel artistic needs and exchange feelings in an open and free space. When things started to open up, clubs were left out of the discussion and in these moments it became clear how important club culture is to the way of life for many, but also the IMPACT it has had on mainstream society.

From political movements to gender identification, sexual liberation to amplifying multiculturalism, club culture is a real driver of change. The pair then moved to set up discussions under titles such as 'clubs as places for freedom and emancipation' at the WAF Galerie that Lisa co-curates. Massimiliano Pagliara, Therese Terror and Cecile Balbous from Queer Base all contributed and two further talks are planned, with each one corresponding to each of the three volumes of IMPACT on @freeridemillenium.

Berlin via Chicago based Ukrainian and leftfield disco operative @aalinkaa is having a huge year with standout music on the likes of Rekids and Needwant. On 'Disappear Into The Night' she layers up twitchy electronics with shimmering vocal samples, psychedelic keys and lo-fi house drums to make for a deeply absorbing cut.

Premiere: Alinka 'Disappear Into The Night'

There was an unexplainable feeling in the dance, a connection that transcended society's preconceived ideas, that took no notice of gender, race, sexuality or ability. Outside these factors could dictate the course of a person's every move, but as soon as they descended into the darkness of the club, judgments were left at the door. Little else mattered; the music, the crowd and the feelings of freedom these spaces provoked.

Spawned out of a conversation between Freeride Millenium label boss Jorkes and Lisa Jäger, with whom they collaborate on Vienna's HOT all-gender sauna parties, IMPACT is a new three-part compilation series that celebrates club culture and the freedoms and conversations that are born within these spaces. With these places of liberation, and the drivers for change in politics, gender, race and sexuality that they became, being taken away from us during lockdown, Jorkes and Lisa wanted to sonically represent: IMPACT is the resulting product. Volume one features music from Benjamin Frohlich, Alinka, Massimiliano Pagliara and more, with the second and third volumes being shared in January and February.

Alongside the releases, discussions will be held at WAF Galerie, the space Lisa co-curates, that explore 'clubs as places for freedom and emancipation', in partnership with Therese Terror and Cecile Balbous of Queer Base, the charity that Freeride Millenium work with regularly.

'IMPACT' came about after a conversation between Jorkes and Lisa Jäger, one of the curators of the WAF Galerie in Vienna. When lockdown hit and the parties were paused, they were left with nowhere to channel artistic needs and exchange feelings in an open and free space. When things started to open up, clubs were left out of the discussion and in these moments it became clear how important club culture is to the way of life for many, but also the IMPACT it has had on mainstream society.

From political movements to gender identification, sexual liberation to amplifying multiculturalism, club culture is a real driver of change. The pair then moved to set up discussions under titles such as 'clubs as places for freedom and emancipation' at the WAF Galerie that Lisa co-curates. Massimiliano Pagliara, Therese Terror and Cecile Balbous from Queer Base all contributed and two further talks are planned, with each one corresponding to each of the three volumes of IMPACT.

The first volume kicks off with Italian Massimiliano Pagliara, a master of translating deep feelings into his music as he flits between acid, disco and house. His 'I Feel Romantica' (named after the club at which Freeride Millenium have a residency) is a steamy disco cut that takes us back to the 70s era thanks to its bright synths, loose percussion and retro-future atmosphere.

German Benjamin Fröhlich is an esteemed producer who co-founded Permanent Vacation and last appeared on this label with a remix of Jorkes at the end of 2020. He offers the acid madness of 'Uff' which is riddled with wild percussion, slamming drums and real dance floor intensity.

Each Other is the duo of Justin Strauss and Max Pask and here they explore a rickety dark disco sound on 'For Them' with its strobe lit synths, steamy vocals and jacked up drums all locking you in.

Jorkes splits his time between Vienna and Stuttgart, hosts a radio show with Daniel Rajcsanyi on Radio 80000 and always operates at the fringes of any given genre. His 'Transcend' is a deep, dark and dirty low-slung house groove with menacing bass and eerie synth work.

Berlin via Chicago based Ukrainian and leftfield disco operative Alinka is having a huge year with standout music on the likes of Rekids and Needwant. On 'Disappear Into The Night' she layers up twitchy electronics with shimmering vocal samples, psychedelic keys and lo-fi house drums to make for a deeply absorbing cut.

Last of all, label regular Raphael Schön offers the warp speed techno of 'Healing' with its slick minimal synths and kinetic groove carrying you through the farthest reaches of the cosmos.

IMPACT once again features photography and artwork by Daniel Rajcsanyi.

Impact - Volume 1

For Them

PREMIERE: Each Other - For Them [Freeride Millenium]

Freeride Millenium's (@freeridemillenium) IMPACT series serves up a second volume of innovative electronic sounds, this time from Delicate Features (@delicate_features), On Bells, Venice Arms, Younger Than Me, Birds & Zamal. IMPACT extends a lockdown conversation that label boss Jorkes had with Lisa Jäge about how essential parties are for freedom of expression. During those times, it was brought home that club culture is vital for exchanging ideas and feelings, drives change and provokes debate about everything from gender identification to sexual liberation. As such, the pair set up discussions under titles such as 'Clubs as Places for Freedom and Emancipation’ at the WAF Galerie that Lisa co-curates. Planned new talks will coincide with the two further instalments of IMPACT, the first of which manifests musically with this superb six-track collection. Russian-Armenian collective Delicate Features open up and describe the music they make as "soundtracks to Rene Magritte's pictures, where day and night exist together." Their 'Without You' is a beautifully delicate and late-night track with spine-tingling vocals and icy chords. On Bells then feature d.r.a.b. on 'Alive', three minutes of heavenly vocals offset by dark bass and chords. There is a bitter-sweet melancholy to it that leaves a lasting impression. Venice Arms is a new side project from acclaimed dark disco artist Curses, and 'On Ur Mind' is a cavernous bass track with old school jungle influences and shimmering melodies that bring a state of euphoria. Berlin-based, Italy-born Younger Than Me is a rebel who brings old rave energy to new school club sounds on labels, including Duro and NEIN. His 'Miss Gilda' is a slow and heavy groove with grinding drums and coarse synths unfolding up top. Birds is East London's Katie Wilkinson, who fuses new wave 80s goth, techno, psychedelic and experimental on her shadowy and bleak yet alluring 'A Pointless Trip'. Last comes Germany based US emigree Zamal, a Dj who holds a residency at the label’s Romantica Club parties. Here he brings his broad musical taste to 'Inthevoid', a deep and dynamic techno track with cerebral synths. IMPACT Vol. 2 is another superb collection of avant-garde club sounds. Volume one is out now, the third is due in February 2022, and all instalments come with photography and artwork by Daniel Rajcsanyi.

Sound Transitions is elated to bring you a hefty slab of rapid fire electro and techno goodness from none other than DJ Panthr (AKA Akasha Systems). Source Drift EP is scheduled for release on January 27 and we couldn't be happier. With its three deep originals backed with three inventive remixes from heavy hitters Roaming Data, Deeprhythms, and Alien House, this is an EP that will absolutely stand the test of time and find a welcome home on any dance floor.

DJ Panthr takes you on a journey from otherworldly electro to emotive, pad-filled techno to deep, spacious house. The remixers turn the already excellent originals into something wildly new and different. Roaming Data ups the tempo of the title track while still keeping things razor sharp. Deeprhythms sets the mood with a wavy, eyes closed, hands in the air blast of euphoria while Alien House melts things down to a smooth outsider house interpretation of "Liquid Light."

There is something for everybody across the six tracks presented here. The personalities and flavors of the producers all shine through while still maintaining a cohesive feeling throughout. It is not to be missed.

BUY/PRE-ORDER

PREMIERE: DJ Panthr - Shadow Realm (Sound Transitions)

When Greco-German couple Local Suicide (@localsuicide) and New York City native Curses (@cursesforever) met in Berlin, the epicenter of electronic music, their artistic chemistry was immediately obvious. This chance meeting resulted in several fructuous collaborations, with the latest being ‘Magia’, a dark and mysterious four-track EP. This release represents the perfect opportunity for the artists to take the genre-bending blend of 80’s new wave, dark disco and ghostly vocals that have earned their previous collaborations unanimous praise to a whole new level. 

The EP comes after an impressively prolific year for the ever-busy Local Suicide powerhouse, following the release of their globally acclaimed debut album ‘Eros Anikate’ with collaborations with The Hidden Cameras, Lena Platonos, Theus Mago and Curses himself, as well as four remixes EPs featuring remixes by household names such as Adana Twins, Silicone Soul, Echonomist, Biesmans, Die Selektion and many more on top of a hectic touring schedule. 

The multi-talented artist and head of the Ombra International label Curses also recently released his darkly romantic second album ‘Incarnadine’ with features from Jennifer Touch and Terr, following an acclaimed first album on Jennifer Cardini's Dischi Autunno imprint. For this collaboration, he lends his distinctive sound signature that incorporates punk, Italo Disco, and EBM influences for a somber and nostalgic sound.

The EP’s title track ‘Magia’, immediately puts the listener under its spell with its dystopian atmosphere, as cold and distant voices echo eerily behind the relentless beat and unsettling looping synths, before layering up into an intense but also strangely hopeful soundscape.  

The beautifully complex and moody ‘It All Sounds The Same’ then follows with its ethereal and ghostly vocals bleeding through the urgent rhythm. The alliteration of the lyrics contributes to creating an otherworldly, almost uneasy feeling echoed by the lonely voices lamenting that everything ‘sounds the same’.  

The third track ‘Secret Friends’ opens up with cascading acid notes soon overtaken by the same driving beat as pulsing synths overlap each other in a frenzy while the vocals call out for a ‘secret friend’ with the seductive appeal of a mysterious, almost supernatural being. 

Far from alleviating the tension that has been building up throughout the EP, the closing track, ‘Walk With Me’, feels like a frenzied and Lynchian musical descent into madness, as insistent notes become more and more distorted until they’re swallowed by the bassline and electric notes while barely human voices whisper menacingly, gasping and crossing overhead. 

 In true Local Suicide and Curses fashion, this EP feels like a masterfully crafted plunge into an unfamiliar world that will leave you wanting more. Tune in for the release on February 24th, 2022 via Local Suicide’s own label Iptamenos Discos. (@iptamenosdiscos)
