Upon meeting some years ago in Berlin, Galina & Andreina connected creatively and embarked on a musical voyage. These are studio recordings from Xberg in 2018, at a time when they gave life and animation to a beautiful and young electronic music scene.

Sono I’imperatore is a special three track EP from Eva Geist & Chikiss featuring artwork from Marius Houschyar.

Eva Geist & Chikiss Sono I'imperatore (SR005)

"Always take from the past - avoiding the empty longings of nostalgia - with a view to understanding the new place it might hold in the future. Good Morning Tapes has done just that, and with the 90’s revival in something of a full swing, the label finally gets the chance to release a pivotal 10 year old mix that didn’t just ignite a curious wave of reflection and appropriation, it marked a culmination in the shifting sonic sands for its creator Mr. Alexis Le-Tan. His name needs little light thrust upon it in these hallowed cosmic halls, with his enduring and ever present mixes being a staple for those that know. 

Back to Disco Valley is arguably his most important mix - it both recontextualised a dirty and forgotten sound of the past, and facilitated a wave of new freedoms for those wishing to look backwards in order to move forwards. Most importantly it planted the seed for everything Full Circle to come.

 Back to Disco Valley is above all else a personal reckoning for Alexis and Joakim, it marked a moment when many problems inherent in a trapped older sound - with a sublime yet dated history of its own - could breath fresh life in the present day; a new slower realm was born. The slowing down of dance music is nothing new, and certainly where peak time beats have existed a spiritual shadow that revels in a slower ethereal space to dance has never been far away. 

Stylistically on one level, Back to Disco Valley might seem to build on what Baldelli or Loda were doing many years ago, and it certainly has that effortless charm, but it goes much further, not just in its re-appraisal of the frenetic fast paced sounds of Goa, but as a signifier of where many wanted to head on the dancefloor - towards a slower oasis - incorporating new releases and modern sounding rarities along the way. Indeed, in selecting the 33rpm dial rather than that marked 45, Full Circle at once opened up the new space inside a music some of us went bananas to 30 years ago, and at the same time made sense of a crucial yet forgotten heritage; a confession became a badge of honour.

 Coming back to Full Circle and its genesis: it was only a matter of time before the old Goa records would come back down from the racks and spawn a new life, and perhaps whilst Le-Tan cemented something a lot of us knew, Back to Disco Valley somehow liberated many of those early records from their stylistic shackles initiating a creative project that - along side the collaborative work with Joakim - has released a wave of inspirational edits and re-imaginations. 

Full Circle - in all its conceptual & metaphorical majesty - really has come to represent the most stylish of takes on past sounds, both in the realm of selection and re-working. It is certainly true that Back to Disco Valley - sounding now as it did then (to the select tuned ears that got to listen) - reflects a perfect meeting between an off-tempo past, present and future, being more than a functional assemblage, it revives many a lost memory, inspiring a new batch of ideas, and always looking back with a purpose.

"Back to Disco Valley" is available on cassette via the GMT Online Store.

Behind The Croons are Marijana and Lucas Croon, residents of Salon des Amateurs in Dusseldorf, one of the most known clubs for underground music. The duo is known for the energetic and sometimes contrasty back-to-back sets, which fulfill the space with novelty and leaves no one indifferent. Lucas Croon, composer, and producer is known for his band Stabil Elite, as a DJ who confidently moves around different genres of dance music and mixes them with his own, partly unreleased productions. His releases on Themes For Great Cities and Aiwo are decorated with Balearic, melodic and tribal tones which are sometimes going in unexpected directions. Marijana’s sets are fusing otherworldly sound designs with echoing percussion pieces and dark club music for the twilight hours, futuristic synthesized environments dripping with reverb and long echoes inducing trance states and transcendence. As a duo, they complement each other in a very elegant way and take you to different places, far away from apathy

Ece Özel is the one who delivers. And that was the case with the last DT Camp, where she gifted us a journey through gloomy soundscapes and stomping textures, always with surprising twists in the storyline. Jump into the sonic memory of the ravaging night in the forest.
