What had once began as a small gathering of friends soon snowballed into something beyond the realms of their imagination. Through word of mouth people came from far and wide to experience these moments of euphoria themselves; the reputation of these clubs and DJs now preceded them. They had no idea this was a movement; that they were on the cusp of something influential that would go down in history.

With his debut release on Italo Moderni, Bristol-born, Berlin-based producer Antoni Maiovvi explores Bakalao: the popular dance scene in Valencia in the 80s and 90s. Drawing inspiration from this influential period for underground clubbing in Spain — "Movida Valenciana and its direct heir, the so-called ''Ruta Destroy'' — the four tracks on the release explore strains of Italo disco (unsurprisingly), minimal synth, electro and EBM, backed up by remixes from Jensen Interceptor, Cardopusher and WLDV.

It’s hard to believe it’s been 16 years since Throne of Blood Recordings began. Originally conceived as a platform to release vinyl singles from NYC legends The Rapture, the label has grown and evolved into a stalwart of leftfield electronic music and a launchpad for some massively influential artists including Daniel Avery and Bicep.

We’ve never needed an excuse to celebrate, but hitting this milestone has made us contemplate our place in the world, reflecting on the relationships that have made Throne of Blood such an integral part of our lives and our legacy as an incubator for tomorrow’s most remarkable artists. So we’ve put together a series of anniversary EPs that bring our past and future together on the dance floor.

The first of four releases, Anniversary EP #1 features longtime friend and label collaborator Chloe Thévenin of Parisian powerhouse Lumiere Noire Records, label manager Max Pask in collaboration with Tigersushi mainman Joakim (for the first time since their killer edit of Evan’s Pyramid for Cultures Of Soul), NYC techno mainstay and Bunker affiliate Justin Cudmore, and Liona, a wildly talented producer from Ulaanbaatar.

Four musical points of view with one goal in mind: making people dance. And there’s loads more to come…

● This serves as the best way to showcase the prosperity of our good friend's musical fantasy in recent years. We believe that creating music is a sacred mission; it originates from the inner world of an artist who, over time, confronts the complexities of mundane life, perceives the beauty within, and reproduces it through melodies. This process creates an indescribable space for a creative and enlightened soul to spread goodness and bring many closer to the true love of music.
Nthr1 has infused each track with his unique flavors, disseminating sounds from the not-too-distant future throughout. This audio performance eloquently depicts the inevitable changes to come and how the influence of sound is increasingly permeating our lives.
Be open to the love of your local talents and talk about them.

ECLIPSE

The track shocks and startles from the off with pounding kicks and jagged riffs. After some agonisingly prolonged builds, the cut explodes into a heavy 4/4 stomper, one that should ignite any dancefloor. It's pretty dark but when it's coming from these two, we didn't expect anything less.

Move D is a true legend in deep, house music. We own A LOT of his records. When we found the track 'Wanna Do' on the 50th Groove magazine cd full of exclusive tracks, we contacted him to ask if he would be interested in a vinyl release. The track was too good to be only available through that cd. So Move D sent a second - also really great - track along, and the result is what you're listening to at the moment. The first 300 copies are available on marbled purple vinyl. Get yours.
