Deep / Progressive / Melodic Techno / Dark Disco

Bursting into 2021 with the hope and positive energy we all need, Spectrum present an absolute juggernaut of a track...

Blinding by name. Blinding by nature. Fresh from major missives on the likes of Crosstown Rebels, Circus, Saved and Relief and heavyweight collaborations with the likes of Pete Tong, Alex Kennon makes his debut on Joris Voorn's Spectrum with this rolling juggernaut anthem that joins the dots between the 2000s and 2020s, house and techno, clubs and festivals and all shades of lockdown jadedness in between. It's his most personal release to date, and one that has already found favour with Kolsch, who made an early version a regular set favourite.

''Blinding Lights' is for me not just a record, it's a melting pot of emotions through music, a kind of time machine taking me from the early 2000's to today. I was overjoyed when Joris said he wanted the track for his own label Spectrum. His remix and take on the track will make this project very special, an intimate perspective from a great artist and musician like himself combined with a track I am very proud of.'

An inspired slab of emotional electronic music that nods in all directions and comes with that great sense of momentum and surprise, both Alex's original and Joris's remix hit spots we forgot existed. Lighter times are coming and music like this will be our soundtrack.

Tracklist:
01. Rafael Cerato - Moroder (Original Mix)
02. Rafael Cerato & Pavel Petrov - Aero (Original Mix)

Release Info: 
For our release number 64, we have a very familiar name: French talent Rafael Cerato. This time with a 2-track EP with disco and indie dance reminiscences. In his own words, the first track of the pack Moroder “is a pure 80's infused Disco-ish gem, inspired by the West Coast Vibe. A powerful Indie Dance bassline and psychedelic synths are driving the whole track into an emotional breakdown.” 

To close the EP, Rafael joins forces with the Bulgarian artist Pavel Petrov. Aero “is a club peaktime track, based on a rolling guitar riff, robotic vocals and big square riffs bringing a darker atmosphere.”

Hope this one makes you dance as much as we do!

Hailing from Ukraine's underground scene, Vlad Yaki is back to Sincopat after his successful BeenTouched Single series to present a powerful EP, a super solid pack including four original tracks plus two outstanding remixes by Russian super talent Zakir and Italian maestro Mattia Pompeo.Windrose has such a catchy leimotive that will be hard to take it out of your mind after listening to the track, with several epic breaks that transform into a perfect drop full of beautiful simplicity.
Zakir shows his great talent on this mind-blowing remix for Windrose, a masterpiece with classic electro touches and acid flashes, a clear example that he is in great shape.To continue the story we have Tensor, a perfect recipe of powerful bass and stunning synths that drive you into a psychedelic main break, another rounded track that you will be looking forward to playing.
Mattia Pompeo's great rework of Tensor brings us to a more organic and acoustic scenario, and like on his original music full of rock and pop influences, a killer anthem with sharp notes and attitude.The whole EP has a futuristic cadences from the beginning to the end and Magnus is a great proof of it, full cinematic references we got in love with since the first listen.

To close the circle Always Knowing is a killer anthem in the search of the perfect loop, with a sharp lead and an unexpected vocal this track is a total rollercoaster.Enjoy!

Release Date: 22nd September 2021

Fresh from their standout Group Therapy 450 set, gardenstate present their latest progressive cut ‘Alma’.

Be it through passion, determination, or just sheer stubbornness, gardenstate continues to bloom. A transatlantic labour of love from superproducer Marcus Schössow and club promoter Matt Felner, their debut album ‘Inspirations’ is out October 15 on Above & Beyond’s Anjunabeats imprint. 

At the heart of Sweden’s decade-long domination of club music in the 2010s, Marcus’ fifteen-year-long career boasts a smörgårdsbord of styles. You’ve got electro with ‘Swedish Beatballs’, the mainstage energy of ‘Reverie’ and ‘Ulysses’, and the driving progressive of ‘London / 1985’. Few artists have record sleeves from Axtone, Armada, Size, Spinnin’ and Anjunadeep in their catalogue. Heavily invested in the early 2010’s big room sound, he was a permanent feature in the sets of Swedish House Mafia and Knife Party. 

New Jersey native Matt Felner gave up his blue-collar job to follow his passion for electronic music. A respected promoter and performer, he’s brought emerging artists to the clubs of New York and the East Coast. In 2008, he toured Marcus Schössow and they became close friends.

A melting pot of ‘90s trance nostalgia and burning progressive, ‘Alma’ is another masterful production from the Swedish-American duo.

"Alma is one of those record ideas that's been in our minds for a long time. It's a fusion journey into both the future and past with the lead reminding us what a few layers can do to a song" - gardenstate

gardenstate’s debut album ‘Inspirations’ is out now on Anjunabeats. They join Above & Beyond for two sold-out Red Rocks shows on October 21/22.

gardenstate - Alma

Atlant hits a half century in style by heading to the Gulf of Naples for ATL050. Seasoned techno kingpin and longstanding protagonist of the Italian scene Sasha Carassi delivers two monstrous cuts featuring the voice of fellow Neopolitan Davide Famularo. The package is completed with a stellar remix from rising talent 8Kays.

Sasha Carassi should need no introduction to anyone familiar with quality electronic music. Born under the brooding shadow of stratovolcano Mount Vesuvius, Sasha has featured on heavyweights labels like Diynamic, Bedrock and Drumcode.

Superbly crafted lead track Babilonia' is a dark edgy expansive jewel aimed firmly at the dance-floor. Sasha cleverly builds the components, setting a flowing groove and using snippets of Davide's fine vocal to add tension before the synth hook takes over, captivating the listener. Already making it into the Rekordbox of top DJs, John Digweed dropped Babilonia on his recent Renaissance return with the other Sasha (legendary UK DJ).

Shiver' takes things deeper with Sasha Carassi again showcasing Davide Famularo's vocal. The driving indie electro style calls to mind Depeche Mode's Violator days. Shiver is one of those tracks that works its way into your mind, the melody and hook repeating over and over.

The EP closes out with a sublime remix from 8Kays who takes Shiver into 4/4 deep dark techno territory, making fine use of Sasha's stems while adding her own unique analogue sounds and sonic artistry.

Tracklist:
01. Colyn - Martian (Original Mix)
02. Colyn - Pursuit Of Happiness (Original Mix)
03. Colyn - Programmed For Empathy (Original Mix) 

Release Info: 
Following ‘The Future is the Past’, last year’s widely popular contribution to DGTL’s ‘Various Artists – Volume Two’ compilation, Amsterdam’s Colyn now sets his own EP for release on the Amsterdam-based imprint. Entitled ‘Martian’, the diverse 3-tracker is another distinctive step in the exciting young talent’s status as an artist firmly on the ascent. Martian is set to release on September 3 with pre orders available on August 26.

That ascent has come at a breakneck pace. Even with the hits international nightlife took from the pandemic, Colyn never missed a beat. His emotive sound is comfortably familiar yet mesmerizingly distinct. Its textures, stutters, and synths occupy a unique space between house and techno. This signature sound has already featured on the likes of Afterlife and Rose Avenue, as well as on several well received remixes (including for the likes of Joris Voorn). Colyn’s ‘Resolve EP’ on Tale of Us’ Afterlife in 2019 was an instant hit and continues to be a go-to release on the hugely popular imprint.

Martian kicks off with its eponymous track. An Italo-inspired groover, the track features soft, vocoded vocals from Colyn himself. Open for interpretation but concrete enough for all to find meaning, the track ponders one the deepest of life’s questions: Are we alone?

Then, ‘Pursuit of Happiness’ acts as the natural progression from ‘The Future is the Past‘ – a feel good anthem and bonafide crowd pleaser, set to imminently ignite dancefloors the world over. ‘Martian’ concludes with the introspective pandemic produced and inspired ‘Programmed for Empathy’.

The artwork for ‘Martian’ continues DGTL’s commitment to supporting local and independent visual artists. This time, Coloray takes the reigns with his distinctive take on three-dimensional world building. With ‘Martian’, the multi-disciplinary Dutch artist Coloray and DGTL proudly kick off the first of several unique curations..

Sasha Carassi Feat. Kendah - Invain (SC's Galvatron Dub) [Snippet]

Diynamic’s ‚Four To The Floor‘ series: what started in 2014 has now reached its 20th edition. 7 years of dance floor weapons, selected and road tested by Solomun. And so far, an end is not in sight.
Edition 20 kicks off with Grigoré’s „Upside Down“. A rapid heartbeat bass line, growing percussions and dramatic choir-esque synths - just the right ingredients for a melancholic dance floor affair. Up next is „Violent Location“ by Waltervelt & Kiko, a sinister soundtrack to a dystopian fantasy and pure after hour gem.
The third track is „Night Fly“ by Cortexmaltex. Its gentle vocals and fragile synth ripples over the driving percussions let you dwell in memories of lovers lost.
And closing of the Four To The Floor 20 is „1989“ by Silver MX, an 80’s anthem that transports you right into an arcade racing game, driving your drop top Lamborghini Countach down Santa Monica Boulevard

Pavel Petrov - EXE (Original MIx)

Label favourite EdOne cements his position as a key player on the Selador team with yet another EP (his 3rd for the label) of quality and distinction.

Having already scored a Top 20 Melodic House smash this year with the sublime ‘Dissection’ on Dixon & Amé’s Innervisions imprint, the prolific Swiss based, Spanish born producer returns with a double barrelled weapon that hits the spot with pinpoint accuracy.  

‘Madness Dose’ combines a strident heavy groove with lethal dynamics and all kinds of wondrous audio alchemy ensues. Stand back and enjoy the fireworks.

PREMIERE : EdOne - Madness Dose

Atlant's relentless quest for emerging electronic talent sees us traverse the northern Swiss Plateau to Zürich for the rich innovative sounds of Soma Soul. To make this release something truly special we also summoned Afterlife mainstay / rising star Colyn and Atlant label owner BOg to each add their unique perspective to Soma Soul's two emotive originals.

Having already featured on last month's Atlant VOYAGER VA Soma Soul (Francesco Parla, Ralph Wirth) now take centre stage to build upon fine releases for Jonas Rathsman's ELEMENTS, Endangered and RADIANT. Both originals feature the beguiling vocals of the UK's Ed Begley.

The ambient intimate and unique textures of title track 'Complacency' really showcase what Soma Soul are all about. Cascading piano lines, cinematic sweeps and classy restraint really emphasise each softly sung lyric, with the sum of all parts creating wonderment and beauty.

For the remix we called on Colyn, fresh from his 'Concepts Of Love' EP for RÜFÜS DU SOL's Rose Avenue plus tracks on the mighty Afterlife UNITY and DGTL's latest VA. Colyn gives a remixing masterclass, using Ed's melancholic vocal as the foundation to craft layer upon layer of heart wrenching melodies as the pure emotion of 'Complacency' digs deep into your soul.

Although a familiar face for regular Diynamic event attendees of the last years, it is only now that Innellea is having his actual Diynamic record label debut. Hosting the ninth edition of Diynamics Picture series, the Munich-based live-act, DJ and producer is bringing the influence of his melancholic club soundscapes that might best be described as a mix of cinematic and post-apocalyptic, combined with a very distinct novelty: using his own vocals. The result of this is an intimate listening experience, that hovers somewhere between wanting isolation and the desire to connect. Diynamic Musics Picture series is a document in time, showcasing an artists current creative output in order to allow the listener to visualize and understand the artist at a certain moment. It is not an album format, but far more than merely an EP. Picture is various dancefloor-oriented facettes of one producer, shaping the imagery that ultimately results in the listeners mind.
