Alex Aguayo is Mahkina (SXDNS038), a moniker through which the Mexican rising star explores his 90s influences by delivering a sonority more devoted to Trance and early Rave combined with shards of Cosmic Disco. What a concoction, isn’t it? With previous appearances on vital labels such as Haunted Space, DistroKid, Maleante, and U’re Guay, he is now back on the Montevideo-based multi-genre imprint with a trippy and frenzied release: The EP consists of three highly mighty originals and three well-constructed remixes made with love by Gala, Manuel Sahagun, and Imanol, the label boss himself.

The track we chose to review/premiere is maybe the one that best expresses what Alex really intends to deliver under his new alias. “Autonomy” is above all hypnotic and feverish – exactly what is expected from the combination of his Trance & Rave influences. From his Cosmic Disco references, psychedelic and churning melodies supplied by the beautiful arpeggiated synth layers. The result: A peak-time cut devoted to putting big smiles on people’s faces!

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Beatport page of the label: https://www.beatport.com/label/ure-guay-records/73038

PREMIERE355 // Mahkina - Autonomy

A personal rework of one of my favorite classics ever, New Order's Blue Monday. 
I had mixed feelings the first time I heard it in some club. These dribbling bass drums were kind of weird to me. I couldn't really understand why people were mad when they recognized the track. Then, when I left, I realized the only melodies that were still around in my head were those of this pure classic. I started to listen to it and couldn't help but put it on hard rotation at home and in my studio. I became obsessed with it and even wanted to own the same hardware that was used to produce it (a few days later, I bought an Oberheim DX from some guy who claimed he signed with Virgin Records on the same day as Daft Punk). 
The original multitracks sessions are publicly available so I had to do something...so here we are. I wanted to give the track a more modern & Italo direction, while trying to respect the original vibe. 
Hope you'll enjoy it & spin it in front of passionate crowds. 
The artwork is a tribute to John Carpenter's Christine (1983), which was released a few months later.

Release date : 29/02/24
Format : Digital
Buy : trampoliner.bandcamp.com/album/trampa015-stroken-ep

Alberto Melloni, Rimini's unsung Italo hero is a versatile DJ/producer and multi-instrumentalist with an eye for glistening basslines and groovy vibes.

TRAMPA0015 - Picture a neon-soaked cityscape under a starry sky, with palm trees swaying to a pulsating beat. In the foreground, a sleek sports car speeds down a futuristic highway, leaving streaks of light in its wake. Electric magenta, cyan, and violet hues create a lively atmosphere, capturing the essence of Alberto's infectious rhythms and glamorous retro-futurism.

Since the name of the EP is 'Stroken' we simply had to call in Storken for a remix, a match made in heaven, if heaven was filled with disco balls on a party boat cruising through the Balearic Islands.

REMIX CONTEST CDH (Chineurs de House)

🇬🇧
Far from Sweely's original minimal-acid-house signature, I have worked on some italo-trance-rave hybrid, and, as you may have noticed, subtlety has never been my forte.
I've been influenced a lot by the great Kendal (among others), but also early Trance from the 90's which has been my 'guilty pleasure' lately. See for yourself!

🇫🇷
Très loin de l'aspect minimal acid house de l'original, j'ai opté pour un hybride italo-trance-rave (appelez cette chimère comme vous le voulez) et comme vous l'aurez remarqué, je ne fais pas dans la dentelle ou la subtilité. 
Quant à mes influences, on peut citer le génial @kendal3000 (entre autres) ou encore la trance des années 'nonante' qui est dernièrement mon guilty pleasure. Jugez par vous même.
