The ocean was vast, watching from atop the lighthouse he looked out at the endless expanse of blue before him. The horizon in the distance was barely recognisable, the meeting of two azure forces almost invisible to the naked eye. He watched as the waves crashed into shore and rolled softly back out again - the air was warm and thick in the midst of the summer heat. Sighing, he took one final look before proceeding to walk down the spiral staircase of his lighthouse, soon this would all be gone. 

Volta Cab is set to release a new sun kissed EP on MM Discos, a balearic affair with real prominence and might. The record is nicely rounded up with remixes by Pletnev and Anatolian Weapons. It is the Anatolian Weapons remix that we bring to you today.

Milf 01 EP

"Some men are at home where others would be scared to tiptoe; Enter MILF Recordings, a new label that mysteriously emerges from nowhere (and everywhere at the same time).  Immediately present in the artwork, a sex charged energy, reminiscent of a 80’s - 90’s heyday, intended for mature audiences only.  Perhaps it lives on in this latest delivery from our good friend, “UNKNOWN ARTIST.”  The opening scene, I mean track… “Adicktion” (Milf’s Edit) - a tough, rolling, disco-esque bassline, somewhat of a theme throughout the release, drives the listener, over shimmering, analog drums that gradually boil over into a synthy intensity, all while you are serenaded to the excited confessions of a sex addict.  Track 2, “Dame Mature,” lowering the tempo somehow brings out a more mechanical sensuality in the track’s sampling, blending together voices, and more, over a cutting bassline, that patiently establishes a steady, easy to follow rhythm, which ends with what appears to be cracks of a whip, if that’s something you enjoy.  The closing track, “Asstronomy” (Fuck Off Edit), a type of erotic, post apocalyptic outro, through space.  More aggressive, and then later sludgy, pulsating, bass tones keep the energy moving, into an interestingly dubby, droning, breakdown, that would surely create some excellent mixing opportunities for any remotely creative DJ, possibly.  All around, a solid collection for fans of dark disco edits, that any sweaty, open minded dancefloor would surely embrace, assuming there is a DJ in the building who is capable of wielding such a fiery trio.  

A final note, for those who might only have eyes for vulgarity, where there is only music, offering their unsolicited judgment, I ask, how did you get here?  Don’t answer that question."

Taken from "Strapontin - Male Tears EP (Higher Hopes)". Out June 17th 2022. Buy here: https://higherhopesrecords.bandcamp.com

DC Salas’s Higher Hopes returns for its sophomore chapter… ‘Male Tears’, a deliciously sleazy and wry take on the patriarchy from queer polymath, Kiosk Radio resident, visual artist, singer, producer and DJ Strapontin.
“I wanted it to be funny, sassy, with a drama touch,” he tells us. “The track ‘Angry’ is about a frustrated and lonely angry man. ‘Male Tears’ is a sleazy club hit mocking a straight white male friend of mine who is unable to question himself and his privileges. ‘Divorce’ is a joke on marriage and its rules and ‘Teaching Drama’ is, well, about drama queens…”
Drama, hard truths and witty observations: Strapontin’s agent provocateur status is galvanised by the oily basslines, off-grid drums and loose, swathing grooves that prowl out of the speakers and flip devilishly into moments of pure euphoria… And moments of total chaos.
Strap up, strap in… Strapontin is taking us higher. We couldn’t hope for more.

Male Tears

Angry

PREMIERE : Strapontin - Angry (Higher Hopes)

Sacred symbols, a tool for communication with pagan gods and subtle civilizations. They have enormous power and, depending on whoever addresses them with dark or light energy, the formulas can be equally creative or fatally destructive, including for the person addressing them. Futarch is the alphabet of divine symbols, directly related to the universe, and their secret power is inaccessible to everyone who turns to them.

Premiere: Warehouse Preservation Society - Multitude Of Sin

The next 12 incher on Wrong Era is made by Marching Machines, a duo made of two Belgian powerhouses: Dimitri Andreas and Spacid. Their love for electronic machine manipulation and their musical history that spans over 2 decades, built an excellent foundation for this brand new project. “Lonesome” is a slow burning dark electro track with howling and gloomy synths that flow into acidic tendencies. “Desolat” continues on the emotional path of the previous track, embracing solitude on a broken rhythm, ending up in arpeggiating classic and cosmic italo track. In succession of that, there’s “Driven” which moves up to dancefloor dynamics by using harder and raw sounds, combined with an analogue pulsewave sound generator and building into a release of energy with wavy synths and smashing snares. The final track is a remix of “Lonesome” by one of Wrong Era’s label bosses Fabrizio Mamarella. While the original idea is still intact, the remix is a definite bigger and faster version, implying a stark contrast that still remains powerful, perfectly made for the dancefloor.

Marching Machines - Lonesome - Wrong Era

First solo release by the side project of Danilo & JAI.
5 raw and stretch out tracks with very few elements and minimal mixing. A personal tribute to early 90's progressive techno music, with an euro house feeling.

The light surging from the street lamps had slowly began to dwindle day by day, until it fizzed out completely leaving the village in total darkness. This presented an opportunity for chaos and calamity, for people to get away with mischief under the veil of the night sky; an opportunity they'd grab with two hands.

Jonny Rock returns will instalment six of his Disco Hamam VAs, flipping Middle-Eastern and Turkish gems into dance floor cuts. This time he calls on the talents of Japanese producer Hotaru, Radio Campus Besançon resident Red Lebanese and our friends over at Lyon's Hard Fist Records, Cornelius Doctor and Tushen Raï. While Hotaru and Red Lebanese take care of the A-side, the Hard Fist bosses take charge of the flip, twisting an 80s synth-pop jam into a psychedelic disco groover and giving a kitsch Hungarian electro hip-hop cut an acid house touch.

Düsseldorf's Themes For Great Cities celebrates its 10th anniversary with a VA compilation of tracks previously released on the label. It was a long odyssey that opened up tons of talented artists for many of us, so we want to join in the congratulations and wish that the next 10 years will be same productive as the last decade.
"It all started many moons ago during a night at Salon des Amateurs in Düsseldorf, where the courage and motivation and most important off all the music was found to start a label. Themes for great cities. That was 2009.
Fast foward 10+ years you have the most prominent tracks of that specific Düsseldorf based time period on one record. For all the already fans to enjoy in one ride and for all the people just discovering us, you’re welcome." - TFGC
