1. Marvin & Guy - Migration

Cementing himself as an integral part of the French Indie music scene, French producer and multi-instrumentalist Crayon, real name Lauren Larue, signed to Erased Tapes in 2021 to herald in a new chapter in his life.

His two track EP, consisting of Misplaced and Ithinkso, sees him going back to his electronic, UK-infused roots. Whilst the opening song Misplaced — featuring vocals from Gracy Hopkins and Jo Lowenthal of Australian indie band Tora — maintains a clearer narrative; the second is a blend of traditional 00’s uk garage and jazz, almost fully instrumental. It’s this clear contrast the producer wanted to explore further, made possible by spending a month away in Morocco with choreographer Leo Walk and a bunch of other creatives and friends in early 2020. While Misplaced had already been recorded several months before, Ithinkso was sitting comfortably amongst a raft of other unfinished songs in Crayon’s hard drive. “It was only after seeing Leo’s excitement at first listen, and the incredible and abstract dance moves he would throw while discovering the song that I knew I had to do something with it,” the artist recalls.

As he and Leo went to spend a week at Plastician’s mystical domain Jean Francois Fourtou, in the outskirts of Marrakech, they found themselves submerged in a parallel world, surrounded by giant sculptures of insects, and a fully equipped, real sized reversed house. One quiet night they decided to experiment together with Leo repeating specific moves, almost turning himself into a human boomerang, while Crayon’s assignment was to write an assimile yet efficient electronic beat to it. After sampling a very short bit from French Soul singer Enchantée Julia (who Crayon was producing for at the time), Ithinkso was born, named after what they would both hear phonetically from the sample.

Both tracks wouldn’t have been completed without yet another collaborator, Crayon’s then roommate Bastien Brison, a Paris based jazz pianist. Together they held, when Lauren returned from the trip, what they simply called The Jazz Club in their apartment. It was a weekly jam/live painting/dancing event that they opened to a (not so) small lucky audience as a way to cope with the absence of live music, and events in general. Once again, the clear contrast between traditional jazz music and modern sounds and movements, that gave him the urge to make this project.

'After releasing Brecon’s first 6-track EP ‘Cairn’ on Max Cooper’s MESH imprint, BRECON’s music has captured the interest of the industry, securing a number of high profile remixes (Morcheeba, Rob Clouth and Max Cooper) and airplay (BBC 6music, NTS and Giles Peterson’s Worldwide FM). 

Brecon’s answer to this EP comes in the form of a sonically inspiring debut album titled ‘Fore’, which showcases Will Brown’s cerebrally stimulating musical expression. 

What starts as a meandering and sludgy, detuned synth-driven soundscape quickly evolves into a driving and pulsating track with a frenetic energy that feels somehow both explosive and delicate.  The track moves between dense synth harmonies effortlessly taking the listener on a journey into different  dystopian sound-worlds, whilst always feeling like safety is just around the corner.'

Make You Happy (Extended)

Recently unearthed, Light My Fire is back on track and revving up its engines full force, this time with the next iteration from talented matching spirits, Max Joni & Onni. Roaring up the highway at full throttle, 'Indie Car' merges the finest of EBM and disco tropes laced with a Knight Rider vibe to it. Adventurous to the fullest, the opening slab, 'Indiana Jones', unleashes its tantalising flavours with optimum jazz and that Moroder-infused deluge of processed arpeggios and cross-dimensional bass manoeuvres for good measure. 

Unrelentingly hypnotic and poised for hi-impact DJ use, Joni and Onni carve out the kind of craggy relief'd electro beat that'll get maximal response from ravers and revellers on the prowl for a quality big-room churner. Support cut 'Kettcar' doesn't stray far from its predecessor's ambitions, laying down a slower yet equally physical workout, flush with the buzzing machine tango and jagged rhythms for everyone to relish. Bearing the hallmarks of Joni & Onni's dynamic-psychedelic style to a T, all set at etching its obsessive motifs on your prefrontal cortex from the minute you hear it, 'Indie Car' is a proper blast of fresh, fun and funky electronics, bound to jam the clubs' radars without further ado.

Model Alpha - Inside vs. Giuliano Rodrigues - New Movement


In this offering by the Berlin-based and made in the Middle East label D​isco Halal,​we urge you to meet N​adav Spiegel​ better known as @A​utarkic.​ @A​utarkic ​is a self-sufficient artist and live virtuoso, he is the first member of the D​isco Halal ​family which will be releasing his original music.
Coming around the Spring, C​an You Pass The Knife?​And the sum of his parts tries to emphasize a gap, the gap between the diaspora and the long lasting criticism about the homeland.
This mini-LP that contains 6 mesmerizing songs. A​si Keta Ga,​S​olo Gun,​W​atch out,​T​he Misorientation of Autarkic,​U​fo​(​Space Version)​and T​ender Lies,​That might sound like only a combination of random words now, but after being heard, these songs will help you to enter the embodiment of​Autarkic​and allow you to save a piece of his soul on your shelf.
primitive machines and tape loops soundscapes should mark the beginning of a new D​isco Halal​phase. After releasing mainly edits from around the transcultural hemmesphere, the transition to original exquisite music seems to be a necessity.

Energy, frequency, and vibration.
Just as Tesla said about the universe, these underlying forces also apply to the principles of music.
As a child of the 70s and a teenager of the 80s, I've seen the development of electronic music from its very beginnings.
I've been a hobby DJ since 2000, using Traktor DJ and several DAWs. My focus is on electronic music, with a broad interest in many genres in this direction.
In my opinion, a music track should be captivating and engaging from the very beginning. Either a track oozes authenticity, rooted in the genre's roots, or the track has an exciting sound design, thus establishing a unique selling point in this era.
