Megablast about his production:

”Lies“ started with a very simple but catchy Juno 60 Arpeggio Bassline, which I created around 10 years ago.
 
I am an 80’s child and believe that in your early years, your subconscious mind stores a lot of first impressions and emotional moments. I listened to Roxy Music at my parents’ home when I was a kid, alongside all the great pop tracks from Icehouse to New Order, which were played on the radio.  
 
2020, when Covid started, I was locked in my studio on the island of Ibiza. I couldn’t see my little daughter, all my flights got cancelled and I had no idea when I would see her again. A few weeks later my beloved grandmother who supported me on my path with music since I was a kid passed away. I was swept up in a wave of heavy emotions and really down.
 
So, I decided to put all my emotions in the track I started so many years ago. I made a post on FB asking if anyone had any idea of a vocalist who could fit my expectations and I got introduced by my friend Luna Ibiza, to Steven Jones who was based in the UK.
 
I sent him ideas of the vocal I had in my mind. He liked it a lot and started recording and sent me the parts. Later on I got in touch with Depeche Mode’s Tour Drummer Christian Eigner, who I went to school with. He immediately liked the track and the idea, and recorded the drums for „Lies".  I added some guitars with Matthias Simoner and it took quite a while to finish the whole package.

Today, I can tell that going with the flow without any stress is the best way for producing music. Many people might be surprised as it’s (maybe) untypical for what I am known for, regarding my earlier productions like „Vamos" or "Soy Como Soy", which were heavily influenced by Afro Cuban music. I don’t want to be categorized. I want to create timeless, beautiful music with no borders. 

Music is a mission and not a competition.

Juan Yarin is next up on the Rumors with his Lovefool EP, which comes with a remix from label head Guy Gerber, completing a standout package.

Juan Yarin is a core part of the Rumors family and a regular at the label's Ibiza party. He has released his emotive brand of deep house here before, such as with last year's Venice Beach EP, and impresses once more this time out.

Lovefool opens up with spine-tingling piano chords draped over soft, deep house drums. A tender vocal completes the most majestic groove. Lovefool (Guy Gerber Remix) is a stylish tweak with the piano chords left in place and the drums given a little extra bite. The whole thing sinks you into a reverie and makes for truly beautiful listening. Paradiso then picks up the pace with a more upright house sound this time with low-slung bass and icy hi hats adding detail next to the elegant synth craft. Lina closes down with some heady, hypotonic house that is filled with late-night atmosphere and swirling cosmic keys.

"I'm proud to announce my new EP "LOVEFOOL" says Juan. Before its release date "LOVEFOOL" has already been played by known artists such as KEINEMUSIK at BURNING MAN 2022, and even received a special remix version by GUY GERBER to be released along with the EP. The release will be promoted on a live European tour coming up soon."

This is another fresh EP from Juan Yarin.

Saraga heads Around The Sun on this escapist new EP for Guy Gerber's revered Rumors label. Saraga is an artist based in Tel Aviv and who releases on esteemed labels such as Crosstown Rebels, Robsoul Recordings, Nervous & Body Parts. He has a well crafted and emotive sound rich in lush synth work. 

Clarity In Motion opens with thinking synth modulations and a heartfelt female vocal. The drums are warm and lock you in for a sublime ride. Around The Sun (Run It) brings an immersive vocal over deep house drums. The track is playful, with steamy lyrics and a smattering of percussion next to smeared, expansive cosmic pads. On Sin City, things take a darker tech house twist with snappy drums and hits and a monologue adding tension. Los Ojos Azules closes out with something of a humid Latin vibe - the drums roll, the percussion is characterful and vocals tease and please. 

These are four hugely original tracks from this ever more essential artist.

Quickly following up the last, instant sell-out smash, Shir Khan's infamous "Black Jukebox" series hit us with the 12th edition. Introducing anonymous project Aussteiger who gets things bouncing with the Summer house monster, "Bangbao". Lush filter sweeps, twinkling keys and powerful bass are order of the day here as the producer works his magic on one of the sunniest grooves we've heard this year. "Return" keeps that outdoor terrace flavour but plunges us deep into the twilight, tribal drums and deep electronics locking us into its hypnotic recess. Martin Lewis contributes a seriously fun and summery version of "Now That We Found Love", utilizing glorious xylophones and horns throughout the melody and letting it roll out with aplomb. Finally, we get the cheeky "Do It" edit which combines hypnotic congas with funky guitar licks and a sun-burnt, Latin energy to create a sizzling brew of hot dancefloor energy. Great stuff! Limited Vinyl. Move quick!
