Arad, real name Dara Smith, first joined the VOITAX catalogue in June 2020. Back then, the Irish artist served us up with »Radiance Haze« - a 6-track EP, spanning from heavy-hitting breaks to the ethereal ambience, with heavy features of Smith’s vocals. Known for his multidisciplinary vision on music, he has also previously made seminal moves with his work as one half of Lakker, alongside Eomac, dropping groundbreaking music on heavyweight labels such as R&S, Blueprint and Stroboscopic Artefacts.

For his second EP on VOITAX, Smith now returns with five beautifully crafted tracks that he titles »Augmented Fantasy«. While following a similar approach, he does not fail to expand his repertoire of celestial dream-like atmospheres, which he carefully surrounds with a whole variety of vocals, and accurately placed broken drum patterns. In addition to his own singing, Arad also presents two impressive collaboration tracks, in which one of them features the voice of Stine Omar, also widely known as one half the Berlin-based pop duo EASTER. Driving rhythmics and processed, grainy vocals turn this piece into guaranteed hit material. Another collaboration with the befriended vocalist and music producer Nina Hynes serves as a touching closing chapter for this brilliantly produced, eclectic 5-tracker. All pieces are perfectly glued together while keeping their very individual character and soundscapes. The listener is certainly left with an augmented fantasy, as well as a curiosity to hear more to come from the Irish talent.

PREMIERE | Djs Pareja & Lupe - Verano Lejano (Nikki Nair Remix) [Muy Muy Limited] 2022

A summer of love, heat, never-ending dancefloor nights, and humid skin, even if it’s just one summer, even if it slips away between our hands, at least it happened. Energetic sound for the “amiga” rave, classic dance music approved by recent history.

Hoshina Anniversary - Guru Guru  
BUY LINK: https://hoshinaanniversary.bandcamp.com/album/guru-guru?label=661078381&tab=merch
Label: MUSAR Recordings (https://soundcloud.com/musar-recordings)
Format: 12’’ Vinyl + Digital

In Japanese, the word “guru-guru” refers to the state of spinning, whirling. 
This state is captured in the work of Japanese artist Hoshina Anniversary, who makes his third appearance on MUSAR with his EP ‘Guru Guru' and marks the return of the label after an extended break.

Hoshina’s self-titled brand of ‘watechno’ has appeared on well-loved dance music labels like ESP Institute, Volvox’s Jack Dept and Young Marco’s Safe Trip, alongside MUSAR where he also appeared as Shifting Gears back in 2022; an electronic-jazz- centered moniker.

His ‘Guru Guru’ EP captures the latest snapshot of Hoshina’s sound and sees him draw from Japanese language as a through-line. The title track is the clearest representation of his ‘watechno’, where he uses Japanese instrumentation on top of a menacing EBM-style march. The track's slowly whirling momentum is the “guru-guru”.

On tracks like “Banri”, which means far away in Japanese, we see new shades to Hoshina’s work as he mixes a Japanese Wadaiko drum groove with acidic elements and piano melodies to make a track of contradictions which pairs roughness with elegance. Whereas on “Usagi”, Japanese for rabbit, Hoshina fires up the BPM. Piano melodies remain here but their effect is more drifting and emotive than on “Banri”.

“Kaga” is named after a place in the southernmost part of Ishikawa Prefecture, between Kanazawa City and Fukui City. On this track, Hoshina’s love for jazz comes through and even mirrors the work we heard from him under Shifting Gears.

PREMIERE: Hoshina Anniversary - Banri

Operatic synth-pop - like Grace Jones singing minimal wave in a Chicago house.

Once upon a time, in a mystical land, there existed a hidden realm known as Eine Welt. This enchanting realm was home to extraordinary beings with magical abilities. Among them was a legendary group called 700WET, renowned for their music and captivating performances.

One fateful evening, the moonlit sky above Eine Welt shimmered with an ethereal glow as the members of 700WET prepared for their most daring endeavour yet. Their latest creation, titled “Dare You” held the promise of unleashing a power unlike anything ever witnessed before.
 

Led by their visionary leader, Marja Christians, and accompanied by the musical prowess of Cid Hohner, the group embarked on a quest to capture the essence of courage and challenge the limits of their own creativity. The song would be a tribute to the unyielding spirit of adventure.
 

700WET is an art-pop project by Marja Christians and Cid Hohner – the perfect blend of synth-pop and operatic vocals. Their ‘Lovers-Dance’ sound combines elements of80s, dub and house, reminiscent of Grace Jones singing minimal wave in a Chicago house.

Inspired by the feminist power of erotica, their latest release “Gimme Love” which houses this beauty we premiere here is out on May 15, 2023, under the Eine Welt label.

CNDBMLE 004: Aki Aki - Dishjockey

The old temple stood tall amidst the towering trees of the mysterious jungle, wild animals moved quickly between the trees and chirping birds danced amidst the backdrop of a deep blue sky which overlooked it all. Walking towards the old ruin he began to wonder how much it had taken to build such a magnificent feat of architecture, how many workers had slaved away and did they ever see the glory of the end. It was a magnificent beast but not one worth death... Soon night would fall and it would be time to explore...
