Premiere: Stockholm Syndrome & Lusca - Symbols For The Simple Minded [Play Pal]

The duo from Guadalajara (Mexico) deliver their EP ‘Storm In A Teacup’, a tribute to acid humor & their fashion, cinema and rock idols/icons.
The release opens with ’Rebecca’, a track unsettling in all aspects, strings out of tune, naughty arpeggios delicately bouncing over psychedelic notes and the highlighted Koto dragging us to perceive the world music fibers. The hilarious and unveiling lyrics with monthly horoscope vibes is born from the main character on Fargo Devianti & Vongold's favorite film ‘Ghost World’.
‘Heather’ on the other hand, is an organic composition that drags us to feel under the influence of a Neopunk Pit on the club. Vongold on her behalf, delivers us some lyrics and vocals as an allegory to clubbing nights, to the banal trend of social media, pop icons viral news and peculiar quotes of 90's movies disguised with electrifying guitars, intriguing melodies and a catchy bass line rescued from the insides of Fargo Devianti elements that will definitely kick up dust on the dance floors.
To close up the EP, there are two remixes included: one of them by 'Trio
Misterio' (project by Azaria, Alvaro Cabana and Lebollet) in which they make a more hypnotic and trippy interpretation of Rebecca's own, while SCADTA's rework (Colombian artist Sergio Iglesias y German producer Tilman Benecke) offers a New Beat / EBM flavored version of the track “Heathers’.

Fargo Devianti & Vongold  - 'Heathers' (SCADTA Remix)

The roads were closed at every turn, there was no way out of this god forsaken place. Huge barricades blocked off each street, even the alley ways had been shut off with makeshift blockades. They'd gone round in circles for hours and hours trying to make their escape; for now they'd managed to give whoever was trailing them the slip, but they couldn't guarantee they wouldn't be found again.

After five successful stints, Mexico's Duro return for instalment number six of their flagship VA series 'Muy Duro'. As always they welcome a collection of artists who have a synergy with the label and its mission; both old faces and new. This time round they feature contributions from ID_UA & Berny, Hard Fist co-founder Cornelius Doctor, Alvaro Cabana, Colossio and Le Dame Noir's Arthur Johnson, who bring their signature sonic touches with sounds ranging from dark disco to broken beats and synth-driven electronics.

PREMIERE: Arthur Johnson - 31SPCIAL [Duro]

‘Muy Duro’ flagship V/A series returns this year with his volumen 6, music from new and old souls around the world. Le Dame Noir’s Arthur Johnson give you the entrance ticket with "31SPCIAL", a locomotive ride loaded with a bouncy bass, steady percussions and sharp cymbals that drive you to the peak. It is followed by Cornelius Doctor’s "Zsa Zsa Can't Don't Cry", a metallic and playful percussion with a mix of unhinged and liberating synthesizers.

Changing the semblance are ID_UA & Berny with "Tutta La Notte", a broken beat cut. Its hypnotizing synths will make you descend into the deepest and sweltering of the night, the point where you never want to see the sunlight again. Colossio's "Regios", is the perfect soundtrack to transport you to the multidimensional plane where you don't know if there will be a return accompanied by wild and nutty gnomes or your entrance to the psychiatric. Guitar and synthesizer riffs that when entering the center of your head hypnotize you, distorting your neurons and reality.

To close the compilation is Alvaro Cabana’s "Adventures Under The Dome", ironically inspired by all the theories that circulate today about the "dome" that covers the flat earth. A mix of sounds that could be defined as Robot Disco and Trippy Bleepy Fun, alluding to the fact that no matter if the earth is round, square or an infinite multidimensional plane, we could choose to go through this life with the intention of not stopping to have adventures and positive experiences.

Heil from North Macedonia! we present two experienced artists Andreja Salpe X Veselinov with the special EP they baked - "Egypt Disko".

Two original techno vibe tracks and two remixes from the unique Blavatsky & Tolley, and Velax.

The release starts with the title track "Egypt Disko". It does start off as a straight forward techno track with only one destination in mind, even though it's not entirely techno per say, first impressions might often be misleading. Therefore, this to be one of those stand-off tracks between very well-known iconic characters. But the essence of the track takes you to the night and that night takes you on a journey to outer space, puts you in a trance. It doesn't always keep you in this state, it has a tendency to pull you in and then push you out. Have to mention that the name of this tune is not random and you can feel that throughout the whole track/EP. In this case, the sounds defined the name of this track (and the whole EP), not the other way around, even though sometimes the title comes first.

The second original piece of work is "Proggy Disko". At the beginning, it sounds like pure 2000's. And that's great, what was forgotten must be brought back to life. In a present-day and time, we often look for something new, something fresh, but we constantly forget where we came from.
Down to the track, it's more stubborn than the title one. The tension is building up till the end of the track and then and only then it gives you some sort of a peace offering. Sharp modulated synths, simple but solid bass part, and tension in the whole track. Absolutely banger of the dance floor.

Remix by Blavatsky & Tolley keeps the tone of the original track pretty well and it doesn't stray away too far from the main focus of the song. This interpretation is more complex in a way, it has a clear structure. Like all the elements are exactly where they need to be and the addition of the speech is just spot on, so as the other elements that are not present in the original version.

Velax remix of "Proggy Disco" - sharp edges, these are the first words that came out of the mouth. Velax gave this track a boost. When we say boost, we mean - anger.
Naturally followed by darkness. If this was a person, you could say that his/her character shifted overnight, he or she is like a different person. Perfect dark disco work for lovers of darkness.

Etane - Cry No More (Silicodisco Remix) [Critical Monday]

When it comes to good quality underground electronic music, Mexico is definitely amid the most prolific powerhouses in the world. Young and promising artists, solid labels and platforms, and a robust network mainly with South American and European DJs and producers help to understand why Mexico has been delivering so much interesting content for the last years – and it is showing no signs of slowing down.

Among the aforementioned young and promising artists is Addi De La Cruz aka Umvral (FREEDL018). With originals and collaborations released on important local and international labels such as Controlla, Emerald & Doreen, Logia, Quixotical, and his very own Veneno, Addi has been slowly carving his name as a vital artist in the so-called Indie Dance/Dark Disco scene.

His forthcoming single on Veneno, “Trépale”, brings fat remixes by Kitschy Kitsch (SXDNS078), Miguel De Bois, and Favio Inker. The latter’s contribution is the one we chose to premiere, by the way: The Argentinian virtuoso delivered an extremely energetic interpretation of the original, seamlessly fusing his characteristic acid & rock sonority with Umvral’s Tech-Mex concoction. The result is a dance floor banger, peeps!

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Beatport page of the label: https://www.beatport.com/label/veneno/75694
