B2 The Empty Room

Three is the magic number and continues the Connection Lost series by @massimilianopagliara on Uncanny Valley. The series is a highly emotional project for the masterful Italian DJ and producer with music that is deeply inspired by thoughts on how to cope, once the connection with loved ones is cut. As wide as the feelings and emotions in those situations are, as varied is the sound palette with tracks between Acid, House, Disco and Downbeat.

There’s also continuity in the visual aspects, as Alexander Dorn aka Credit 00 again created the artwork for the third part of the series in line with the two predecessors.

The record opens with the technoid UNFETTERED and indeed the spirit in Massi's machines is completely unleashed as the track gradually layers alarming and mysterious pads over an unstoppable acid line and uncompromising drum work. FORGOTTEN SECRETS can be read as a nod to the title track of the first Connection Lost EP but is primarily an ever-building smasher that will make waves on every dance floor from major festivals to the carpet next to your couch.

Then there is IRIDESCENT SOLITUDE, which comes with a warm discoid feel and is a pitch perfect example of why Massi has a knack for surrounding powerful bass lines with a setup of beautiful melodies and instruments. Just listen to this guitar played by Jules Etienne. Finally comes EMPTY ROOM, which is carried by a sleazy hip-hop beat while keeping a very relaxed pace. It feels like the musical equivalent of looking at the stars, where you discover shooting star-like sounds again and again.

All tracks written & produced by Massimiliano Pagliara at Karl Marx Boulevard Studios, Berlin

Connection Lost Pt. 3

Iridescent Solitude

Mangabey - French Cheese (Dark Disco Version)

Swedish producer Ivan Berggren, aka Paresse, returns to Eskimo Recordings with the 'Animachine' EP,  4 brand new tracks of beautiful electronica that joins the dots between the cosmic disco of his fellow Scandinavian producers, the early Trance sound of Frankfurt labels like Eye Q and the even earlier machine music of bands like Kraftwerk.

It is the latter band whose philosophical fingerprints, at least, are most visibly present on this new EP that was inspired by Berggren's wrestling with the age-old question of just what we are, simply biological machines running on electrical impulses and chemical reactions, or vessels filled with some ineffable spirit. Anima is a stately 100bpm coda to the EP filled with disorientating overdriven synths that spiral in and out as the track marches on in robotic lockstep, a heady combination of early Trance, ambient and Italo sounds, perfect to crash out on a bean bag to in the back room of a club and debate the nature of humanity to with a perfect stranger.

With releases on labels like Eskimo, Frau Blau and Correspondant, and collaborations with artists such as Titiyo, Paresse's small but perfectly formed discography that's draw upon the sounds of electronica, dub, Italo disco its easy toes why his records have found favour with DJs from across the musical spectrum from Yuksek and Jamie Jones to The Organism and Phillipi & Rodrigo onto the likes of Purple Disco Machine and Ewan Pearson.

Is This Love?

The club is open. Trentemøller reimagines A Place to Bury Strangers’ “I’m Hurt” as the swinging big-beat power-goth pop dancefloor anthem it was always written to be in a rough-and-tumble new remix that’s breaking hearts on the streaming apps May 31, 2023.
 
Under the influence of Trentemøller’s drunken distorted bassline and a battalion of robo-tripping drum machines, “I’m Hurt (Trentemøller Remix)” twists APTBS songwriter Oliver Ackermann’s pained vocals into a pleasure pretzel baking beneath the heat lamp of success. Psychotic strings and an infinitely danceable procession of electronic percussion keep the party going for eternity at this disco of the damned.
 
Add “I’m Hurt (Trentemøller Remix)” to your dance party playlist on May 31, 2023. The new APTBS remix 2LP See Through You: Rerealized is out now and digitally this June 2, 2023—only on Dedstrange.
