Grey People - Moonstruck

Shir Khan Presents Welt Am Draht - a collection of Exploited dancefloor gold from 2024!
'Sex!' by duo Modular Project rolls out a neat and classy groove as the sturdy bones of a Disco beat thump under a snake-hip bass, serrated acid line and bold, unfiltered piano chords.
Bearing flecks of Krautrock, Indie, Electronica and Funk, Made In TLV's 'Super Cool' is an anthem that traverses vast sonic territory.
Diar Storm, Lost Boy 1984, Play Paul present a modern form of Dark Wave Electro that is, equal parts stroppy and sexy. 'Everything So' emits cathartic steam as vibrant synths burst with bittersweet chords and jagged staccato tones.
'Tainted In The Sun' by Niv Ast kicks off with a Manchester chorus beaming out over stroppy power chords.
Gary Numan’s cross-continental hit 'Cars' from 1979 has been covered, sampled and reworked from vastly different pockets of the industry. Now - Laroz presents a rejuvenation of ’Cars’.
'Infinity' by Budakid is a journey in the truest sense of the word. Through an effervescent bass sequence, clever filter control and kinetic drum work, Budakid generates consistent motion from start to finish.
'Falling For You' by Komilev dials in that Panorama vibe packed with effervescent drama, soul and sass.
'Rompe Disco’ by Alex Medina bumps like House and glistens like an Italo whilst also exuding the moxie of Reggaeton.
'Foreign Affairs' by Micropacer follows with more early 80s flair.
Pole Position of Brunch In The Park Barcelona fame channel their complementary energies into 'Diamonds'; a recording inspired by Electro House that deftly straddles 80s New Wave, Prog and Indie.
Moodymanc's 'Joy' twists Philadelphia soul sounds into a peak time house monster. Now re-edited for modern times in a special Breakbeat version.
São Paulo based Renato Cohen fires up his arsenal of analogue gear and adds a bright and burly Italo cut with ’Lemon Key’.
Zeynep Erbay’s ’Neon Palm’ sits comfortably alongside modern Indie Dance, Italo Disco and House alike.
Slump Recordings boss Baby Rollén’s ’Feeling Mumbled’ Remix is an ultimately playable DJ tool; one that renders an after hours sunrise as chords bounce of the tracks surface like rays of light while tight, nifty shuffles interlock with a bouncing bass line.
Austin Ato fleshes out some deliciously hallucinogenic Italo synths in his Remix version of ’Super Cool’ by Made In TLV.
’Acid Infatuation’ by Levantine is a sound that occupies a sweet spot between Eurodance and Italo.
Black Hawks of Panama steps in with ’Wrapped’.The ingredients are simple: a slapping disco kit, Alpha Juno, zesty guitar licks and an anthemic vocal. The result is a contagious Italo march that burrows deep under the skin; put simply - a slice of pure rapture.
'Good Times' by Renato Cohen sparks things up with bright, muscular drums that pave the way for a rasping bass line - a killer DJ tool. Raw energy is spat out while snares clash and vocals march along with an intensity that doesn't let up.
Captain Mustache’s ’Diavola’ flexes low-mid tones warble in lock step with strapping drums and an earworm synth line.
’Heart Life' by NEAT adds a further facet to the compilation with an allaying Italo-tinged groove.
In ’Neonim’ by Laroz, a gently jagged bass line bubbles away, creating a buoyant bed for expertly crafted drums which pop out with expressive alacrity. Dulcet piano tones form a bond with amber-tinged synths as warming soundscape is developed.
James Curd throws a dart straight to the dance floor with the jazz-tinged House jam ’Feeling Mumbled’ built from a classy palette of samples.
Sandhog closes the album with the highly memorable recording 'Berlin' that speaks to the power of simplicity.

Duro stalwart and Mexican native Tyu is back on the label with two fresh new cuts that come with remixes by Bawrut and Niv Ast. 

Tyu releases his distinctive brand of disco on Calypso Records as well as Trafico and runs his own Disco Sentimiento. He draws on a rich sound palette and cleverly treats vocals to cook up intriguing music that has groove and character to spare. 

His opener here is ‘Bailando’, a high pressure cut with punk drums and hits and a menacing vocal laid over the top. Soul fuelled pads light up the background as the groove chugs on and gets you hypnotised before a brilliantly uplifting breakdown. Madrid based Bawrut, an artist with high level DJ support and a vital discography brings a wide range of influences, to his remix. It’s a strobe lit, face- slapping affair with corrugated bass and freaky vocal yelps that will arrest any club. 

‘Pieles’ is the second sizzling original and has a haunting female vocal that brings cold wave vibes to the stark metal drum line. Piano stabs and tumbling fills add rawness and energy to this fantastic marching disco cut. Tel-Aviv based artist Niv Ast then excellently reworks it into a loose limbed, jumbled bit of disco funk with reverberating hits, echoing vocals and lots of whirring drums that keep you off balance. 

These are four fantastically invented new wave disco cuts.

Save this name: Braulio Renteria, a young Mexican artist, makes his official debut as a producer on the awe-inspiring project Sinchi Collective – a multifaceted music platform that includes a label, a DJ collective, an event promoter, a mix series and a blog. The Collective also established the Sinchi Foundation, which is a non-profit that upholds the UN’s declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and promotes the strength and beauty of indigenous cultures.

Regarding their third release, Altered States Vol. I is a various artists compilation that shows off the label’s broad array of sounds of producers from all over the world. The track we chose to premiere, ‘Venus’, is a “moody, heavyweight cut with punky attitude and cosmic keys”, the right elements “for a real trip”, according to the label’s description.

We asked “Braulitro” to say a few words about himself and his work: "My inspiration when creating tracks with this energy comes from my influences and experience in the DJ booth, my style is defined by many as dynamic, full of funny percussions and organic sounds, like guitars and wind instruments. I have always been passionate about music, especially the alternative rock, and science fiction movies, and that is exactly what I wanted to reflect on 'Venus', the energy of my DJ sets, my taste for music and an extra-terrestrial sensation as a sci-fi film". And he successfully did it!

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://sinchilove.bandcamp.com/

PREMIERE: Tiempo De Maldad - El Diablo (Alvee Remix) (Controlla)

(ES)TKUZ es de esa clase de artistas que no da puntada sin hilo, que en todo momento saben lo que hacen y no dejan nada al capricho del azar, aunque a veces sus decisiones nos puedan parecer insólitas, poco comerciales o fuera de lugar. Ahora aterriza de nuevo en el último EP del productor musical Tiempo de Maldad: El Diablo, publicado en el sello Controlla, con el remix del track homónimo. Empuñando una paleta sonora inmersiva, este disco es todo un amalgama de influencias de varias décadas, proyectadas de forma personal, consiguiendo desencadenar un sentimiento que a veces es desconcertante, familiar y acogedor al mismo tiempo. Cuenta con remixes de artistas de la talla de Alvee, Steady State, Lusca e Inclan. Para Tiempo de Maldad, este disco supone la consolidación de un sonido que ha ido perfilando a lo largo de los últimos años, trabajando con mimo para dar con lo mejor que podían ofrecer. El track del productor mejicano es excitante, bello, emocional, con luces y sombras, consiguiendo dar con un resultado redondo, que no flaquea por ningún lado. La elegancia, el vigor y la aventura no están reñidas con la accesibilidad, y aquí se demuestra en cada una de sus notas.

El resultado es un disco que es un curso completo de música, una clase magistral extendida y dominada con rigor, en la que consigue lanzarnos a un ritmo trazado a baja combustión, tan intenso como oscuro, hacia lo más profundo del cosmos, donde pocos artistas consiguen llegar. Y el remix del gran TKUZ, se presenta cautivador, con la cantidad perfecta de sustancia para que sea incombustible, presentado con un estilo potente que va desde lo clásico hacia lo más innovador. Tan ambiental como inquietante y brillante. Una delicia sólo para melómanos. Join Us!

(EN)TKUZ is of that kind of artists that does not stitch without thread, who at all times know what they do and leave nothing to the whim of chance, although sometimes their decisions may seem unusual, not commercial or out of place. Now it lands again in the last EP of the music producer Tiempo de Maldad: El Diablo, published on the Controlla label, with the remix of the homonymous track. Wielding an immersive sound palette, this album is an amalgam of influences of several decades, projected personally, managing to unleash a feeling that is sometimes disconcerting, familiar and welcoming at the same time. It has remixes of artists such as Alvee, Steady State, Lusca and Inclan. For Tiempo de Maldad, this album involves the consolidation of a sound that has been shaping over the past few years, working with care to give the best they could offer. The Mexican producer's track is exciting, beautiful, emotional, with lights and shadows, getting a round result, which does not falter anywhere. Elegance, vigor and adventure are not at odds with accessibility, and here it is demonstrated in each of its notes.

The result is an album that is a complete course of music, a master class extended and mastered with rigor, in which it manages to launch us at a pace set at low combustion, as intense as dark, towards the deepest part of the cosmos, where few artists They get there. And the remix of the great TKUZ, is captivating, with the perfect amount of substance to make it fireproof, presented with a powerful style that goes from the classic to the most innovative. As environmental as disturbing and bright. A delight only for music lovers. Join Us!

Theus Mago - Yeyo & Ushwaka

Kiev is one of the oldest cities in the world. The city has gone from periods of greatness to periods of darkness which incidentally 
could be a similar way to describe this new ep by Kiev resident ID UA.
The title of the EP seems to have a fun connotation at first glance but don't be fooled by this, the moods are quite different and
change rapidly in this one.
Thomass Jackson then brings a squeaky acidic bassline to his remix of the title track which will surely be a perfect party starter.
Welcome to Kiev. Welcome to ID UA's world.

Heimlich Musik’s (@heimlichaufsc)tenth release is a direct output from “@Tulioxi”, which has been mastered over time during his live performances using a broad range of analogue equipment. 

This four-track EP has received special treatment from three dark disco advocates: Local suicide, Undo, and Ombra international label boss Curses(@cursesforever). Each of them integrating their signature sounds to the originals. 

We are happy to premiere “Curses” remix of the original track “The downside of being an asshole” and once again he has shown his love for blending rock & roll with the darker side of disco and turning the vocals into ghostly whispers.

Mexico’s Duro label are set to release the first EP from local talent Undefined Pattern, backed with remixes from Damon Jee and Jenia Tarsol.

‘El Desespere’ comes after Undefined Pattern’s debut on the Disque Discos 'DISCORROR IX' compilation and is inspired by the stress and paranoia of living in Mexico. It features three intensely atmospheric tracks with remixes by Damon Jee and Jenia Tarsol.

The fantastic title track gets things under way on a rugged bassline and illuminating synths that speak of a busy urban metropolis. It’s a rumbling disco ride that really takes you somewhere. The dark and heavy disco vibes continue on ‘Estrex Humano’, with its crisp hits and urgent bassline. Edgy synth loops bring the tension and add plenty of drama before ‘Intenxa Salida’ offers a sparser and eerier track, with dystopian, searching synths and melodic details off in the distance that suggest human life amongst a late night urban landscape.

Frenchman, MORE associate and 90s veteran Damon Jee flips ‘Estrex Humano’ into a slow burning and steamy disco stomper with libidinous female vocals, courtesy of Ravintsara and broad synth sweeps. Lastly, ‘El Desespere’ as remixed by Blue Shadow Records boss Jenia Tarsol is a chugger with big rock licks and a filthy bassline.

This is a compelling EP from the fast rising Undefined Pattern and another great package from contemporary disco tastemakers Duro.
