Paco Osuna’s Mindshake Records kicks off 2022 with a new Tech House EP from DJ Boris that also features a remix from the shared alias Project00 of Paco Osuna and Fer BR the label’s A&R.

For over two decades in the scene now, the US-based Russian-born producer DJ Boris has a very rich catalog of music with releases on the likes of Mark Knight’s Toolroom, Terminal M, Suara, his label Transmit Recordings, Codex Recordings, Tronic, Intec just to name few. His skills behind the decks made him a New York DJ star but with the music he makes, he travelled the world playing at the Shores of Playa Del Carmen to The Magical Ibiza.

Project00 has so far been remixing the finest tracks on Mindshake records, but as solo artists Paco Osuna and Fer BR have released on influential labels ranging from Richie Hawtins Minus to Claude VonStroke's DIRTYBIRD and Adam Beyer's Truesoul.

Body Burning EP is a true presentation of DJ Boris's groovy percussions, rolling tech-house foundation is placed within a darker, danceable tension with a pounding kick and bass. A fine touch version from Project00 of Body Burning that gives the release a whole new dimension.

Paco Osuna welcomes DJ Boris to his label Mindshake for a chunky house and jacking techno EP that also features a remix from Paco Osuna and Fer BR under their shared alias Project00.

DJ Boris is a Russian born artist who's based in the American capital city New York, and he's well-known for his upbeat style that ranges between chunky tech house and thumping techno.

His two original tracks on this EP lean more towards his house music side, but still incorporate techno elements with tough percussion and loop focused grooves in the style he has featured on other labels such as Eats Everything's Edible, Nic Fanciulli's Saved Records and Elrow Music.

Spain's Paco Osuna is a DJ icon who has worked with record labels ranging from Richie Hawtin's Minus to John Digweed's Bedrock. Project00 is an alias that Paco Osuna shares with Fer BR who's an eclectic artist also based in Spain, and has featured solo tracks on other labels such as Claude VonStroke's Dirtybrid and Adam Beyer's Truesoul.

'Body Burning' opens the release with the raw funk of a disco-tinged bassline that's combined with bumping percussion and filter swept vocals. Project00's remix of Body Burning adds extra intensity with its half bar resample to create a fast-flowing techno groove. 'Keep Pushin' closes the release with its techy stabs and dark atmosphere combined with thrashing offbeat percussion.

First time on Adam Beyer's younger imprint for friends and frequent collaborators, Toronto's Carlo Lio and NYC kingpin DJ Boris collaborate with a driving techno two-tracker.

Carlo's merciless mesmeric grooves and Boris' drum-punishing sound produce the kind of infectious techno you can get lost in until before you know it it's Monday morning. Meeting in Miami during Covid, they produced this two-tracker, which joins a solid back catalogue of releases for both including the likes of Mindshake, Edible and Transmit Recordings. They're just about to kick off a B2B tour of NYC, DC, Miami and many more.

Title track 'City Nights' while still drum-driven, with a rattling rhythm and a hi-hat monsoon, has a sultry vibe, the industrial elements and spoken vocals conjuring visions of the big city alive at night. 'Break it Down' has bongos, castanets, frantic hi-hats, the works, ganging up on a boom, boom beat, relentless and hypnotic, while a robotic vocal makes a mantra of the title. Dark fun.

Influential techno DJ and producer Victor Calderone makes his first appearance on Nicole Moudaber’s MOOD imprint with the ‘Parallel’ EP, featuring a title track that focuses on a deep and dubby motif.

Following recent releases on esteemed labels like Drumcode and Intec, the Brooklyn native finally graces MOOD after years of collaborating with Nicole in both the studio and DJ booth. Their styles of techno compliment each other beautifully, with both fusing techy elements with driving, relentless rhythm.

‘Parallel’ sees Calderone leaning into darker territory.The track leads with stripped back rhythm and subtle synth stabs that build as reinforced percussion and haunting, distorted atmospherics evolve.

The ‘Parallel’ EP, which includes two more originals and a remix by Ray Kajioka, is set for release July 21.

Look for Victor Calderone & Nicole Moudaber to play a special b2b set at the opening of Sasha & Digweed’s Resistance Ibiza party on July 25th at Privilege, Ibiza.

It’s all about the music. New York stalwart and beloved DJ, Boris, lives by that statement each and every day.

A career forged over decades of long nights in the Big Apple’s most revered rooms. From the infamous Roxy to Crobar to the once dominating Pacha NY on 46th Street, Boris maintained a following so devout, so loyal they were truly ‘Believers’. Pioneering a music movement in a city filled with those who have so little time to pay attention, Boris has been a production powerhouse when not performing for the masses. He’s been tapped by industry leaders such as Carl Cox for his label Intec, Dubfire for his label Sci-Tec, Paco Osuna and his Mindshake records, amongst countless others.

His ability behind the decks and in the studio has not only made him a New York favorite, but his music has taken him places all around the world ranging from the shores of Playa Del Carmen to the magical White Isle known as Ibiza.
