La Danse #2 is the second digital compilation of a series from international talented producers we support and love. Following our heart and taste for mixed influences and creed, La Danse is a tribute
to the dance floor mixing together organic works in order to bring new energy in clubs. We hope this second volume will bring back our dance floors to life. 

From la Danza de los Voladores during Mesoamerican rituals to the Maenads in Greek mythology, dancing is part of social life from the outset, and will always be.Because dancing frees body and mind - because club culture is essential - this compilation series preaches for an uninhibited and uncontrolled dance. There is only one motto « dance or get lost! »

INCOMING : Tushen Raï & Neskeh - Curt Kowbell (feat Warum) #HARDFIST

Exclusive: Juan MacLean - Skies Open

New Yorker Juan MacLean contributes his track Skies Open to Hard Fist's second installment of their La Dansa compilation. Known and appreciated for releases on label's like Will Saul's Aus Music or Jennifer Cardini's Correspondant and DFA, of course, Juan MacLean musically travels to France to celebrate his first appearance on the French imprint that hits floors like a fist in your face – hard. Skies Open is a driving (dark) disco-esque, partly cosmic and 8-bit freaky track that can be split into two parts. While at first Juan MacLean concentrates on a montonious almost didgeridoo-like repeating chord that is combined with glitchy and wobbling bleeps the track is added a way more blissful note in the second part that kind of seems like a salvation as the listener was heavily involved with the darker and freakier vibe in the beginning. However, it's this contrast that is intriguing, as if the 'sky opens up' to make one see the blue again as it pushes the grey from the clouds aside.

La Danse #2 will be released on Hard Fist on April 22nd, 2021.

PREMIERE: Tulioxi - Video Self-Delight [HEARec]

‘Muy Duro’ flagship V/A series returns this year with his volumen 6, music from new and old souls around the world. Le Dame Noir’s Arthur Johnson give you the entrance ticket with "31SPCIAL", a locomotive ride loaded with a bouncy bass, steady percussions and sharp cymbals that drive you to the peak. It is followed by Cornelius Doctor’s "Zsa Zsa Can't Don't Cry", a metallic and playful percussion with a mix of unhinged and liberating synthesizers.

Changing the semblance are ID_UA & Berny with "Tutta La Notte", a broken beat cut. Its hypnotizing synths will make you descend into the deepest and sweltering of the night, the point where you never want to see the sunlight again. Colossio's "Regios", is the perfect soundtrack to transport you to the multidimensional plane where you don't know if there will be a return accompanied by wild and nutty gnomes or your entrance to the psychiatric. Guitar and synthesizer riffs that when entering the center of your head hypnotize you, distorting your neurons and reality.

To close the compilation is Alvaro Cabana’s "Adventures Under The Dome", ironically inspired by all the theories that circulate today about the "dome" that covers the flat earth. A mix of sounds that could be defined as Robot Disco and Trippy Bleepy Fun, alluding to the fact that no matter if the earth is round, square or an infinite multidimensional plane, we could choose to go through this life with the intention of not stopping to have adventures and positive experiences.

One of the most promising Argentinian talents lands for the first time on the accomplished Spanish label Espacio Cielo. Emmanuel Poulper (SXDNS146) has been having a busy year not only as a producer but also as an event promoter and a curator of the rising Quixotical Records. His “Fantasy” EP, through the combination of Latin, Indie, Dark, and Progressive elements, showcases his eclectic sonority and ratifies the enormous creativity of the virtuoso hermano. The sophisticated remixes provided by Moo Moonster (SXDNS054) and Parissior (SXDNS206) plus a collaboration with Tots, Logia Records kingpin, helped to turn “Fantasy” into one of the most interesting releases of the month in the so-called Indie Dance/Dark Disco genres.

Based on Poulper’s philosophy of always going forward, no matter what happens, “Yendo” is a track with a story. It was made in Argentina before the pandemic and expresses the feeling of a young artist, obsessed with his career and determined to make his dreams come true, regardless of the chaos we were then about to immerse in.

Respecting the attitude of the original, Madrid-based Moo Moonster provided a hellish interpretation, bringing his own aspirations to the theme and delivering a retro-infused and less dirty version with a Synthwave-meets-Hi-NRG atmosphere. In our humble opinion, a striking peak-time beast, peeps!

PREMIERE243 // Poulper - Yendo (Moo Moonster Remix)

Duro returns with 'Derrumbes Y Escaleras', the first collaboration from Vontier & Mago's upcoming album. The single is inspired by the Indian board game 'Snakes and Ladders' and the hallucinogenic mushroom 'psilocybe caerulescens' popularly known as 'Derrumbe'. This mushroom is one of the most important species in the country and was formerly used in prehispanic religious ceremonies. The trip comes with remixes by Englishman Chez de Milo and US duo Zillas On Acid.

His opener here is 'Derrumbes Y Escaleras'. Instantly you feel the effect of deep bass, ancestral flutes and psychedelic melodies coursing through your system, while the inner voices guide you to the deepest part of your being. Chez de Milo follows with a solid, rumbling percussion base, intoxicated flutes and synths laden you to the next existential plane. 

The nine-minute Zillas On Acid's trip uses the bassline to keep you lucid and present, while the flutes, frenetic arpeggios and percussion create an inner chaos. Inspired by the Mexican rave scene of the 2000s, the 'Saiko Mix' has a catchy bouncy bass, rolling percussion and acid sounds that feel like melted lasers coming out of the speakers. 

Closing the EP is the B-Side 'Zumo Di Batuca', an experimental break cut. As it progresses the vocals and synthetic sounds disintegrate and melt into a solid, cyclical sound mix that keeps you in a trance state.

Demon´s Quest, del último EP por parte de Diaz Tech y Pvlomo, inspirado en el sonido de las arcadias de los noventas, cada track es una aventura ácida, y cada Remix expande más aún sus fronteras psicodélicas con la reinterpretación estética que caracteriza el estilo de cada uno de los Remixers. Nosotros presentamos el remix del productor Roy Parra aka Tiempo de Maldad, de “Carnival Remix” para Ghost & Goblin.

Se trata de un track psicodélico, tan atractivo como hipnótico, que juega con multitud de recursos, para configurar una unidad única y singular: Ecléctico, apabullante y contundente. Su sonido nos transporta fácilmente a otra dimensión. Un caramelo que no te puedes perder. Enjoy it!
