Paramida returns with her second EP ‘Moonrise VII’, touching down on Love On The Rocks just in time for summer with 3 cuts of hands in the air, good time house, F1 tunnel rave and emotional dream house; her signature take on colourful, dreamy trance-inflected visions of the dance floor in full, untethered effect.

Sailor Moon House, inspired by the cult 90s anime series of the same name, is what would happen if Sailor Moon made house music: beautiful, colorful chaos energy; the sound of a dancefloor collectively nodding their heads, tapping their feet and losing their minds on a Sunday afternoon at Panorama Bar, on an infinity cruise to pure joy. Kawaii! Hypercolor trance clouds break to a shiny new dawn of driving rhythms, cheeky acid bass hooks and searching sonar pings, setting course for a masterclass in feeling good, sunrise filtering in through the blinds, leaving a sea of happy faces and twinking ecstasy trails in its wake. 

Space Ride finds Paramida in heist mode: a high-speed 8-minute car chase that swerves its way through dimly lit rave tunnels in the dead of night, leaving just the acid traces of its heavily chopped trance stabs to electrify the no-nonsense, pounding kick drum and groove workout, punctuated by abrupt u-turns via razor-edged rave corners, leaving the dance floor in the dust. Sampling SYT’s 1995 progressive trance track ‘Drift’ on Chris Hillman’s UK-based label Magick Eye Records, which has been serving up psychedelic trance, deep dub, downtempo and ambient since 1991, this track came about over the course of a year via a random Shazam/Hör-related chain of events that led to the original artists involvement, blessing Paramida’s edit and rework to re-introduce their lost jam to a new generation, with new bells and whistles, maxed out for ‘22. Seatbelts on!

33 is something completely different: 3 minutes and 41 seconds of shapeshifting, heavy-lifting ambient dream house that threatens to build into a massive emotional crying-on-the-dancefloor moment but instead flips gears before dropping you back in to a life-affirming, pure ecstasy bliss, the sound of the warmest, connected chemical embrace channelled into a sublime 221 seconds of being alive.

"The people of the world, all of them... tend to think only about what we cannot share. But our brains are all the same. We are the same people." 

- 美少女戦士セーラームーン

LOTR025 Paramida - Moonrise VII

Vinyl Release: July 23, 2022

Nathan Micay is pleased to present the fifth re-issue on Eternal Schvitz: Love Boat People - 3 Some. Originally released in 1998 during the infamous Gulliani NYC nightlife crackdowns, this is the first record ever made by Bryan Keller of duo Automagic. A unique and timeless record that was Bryan's battle cry to what was happening at the time. A-sides '3Some' and 'To the Other Woorld' are as psychedelic and groovy as they come, making great use of a 70's era Crumar Spirit Synth and some truly wild vocals. B-sides "Dontcha Know? (Sunday Morning Mix/Sunday Night Mix) are equally banging with 'The Sunday Night Mix' conceived for Emjay's Sunday Night Very Gay Who's-Who Roundup Party at Crowbar, while the 'Saturday Night Mix' was made for Big Room, where it could be heard regularly in the sets of Danny Tenaglia, Junior and other DJ's around the city.
As always, Schvitz gives back. Eternal Schvitz release will be providing 60% of the cut to the artists and ensuring their credits are front and centre. The remaining 40% of profits will go to aequa, a Berlin-based collective with a focus on empowerment of women, trans and non- binary folks through gatherings for interpersonal exchange. Schvitz is Love. Schvitz is Communal.

XK031 | Guy Contact - Out of My Head (Into My Body)

The alarm clock buzzed loudly for the fifth time, as usual the snooze button had been exhausted for as long as she could get away with it. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes, squinting in the morning light that bathed her room. A familiar feeling of dread washed over her; one that didn’t seem to hit her on any other day of the week. The start of the week was always like this - uneventful and unproductive, a time for wallowing and indulging… all in all, just another average Monday.

Helsinki imprint Echocentric and Leipzig’s R.A.N.D. are joining forces for their next release, a dose of rhythmic proggy goodness from Lithuania-based producer Pletnev. Both labels know their onions - between them they’ve put out plenty of dance floor gems over the last few years from the likes of Abdul Raeva, DJ Life, Reflex Blue and Gnork. With And You Never Come Back, it’s more of the same: over four tracks Pletnev serves up squelchy, hypnotic breaks and trance-inspired rhythms, all primed and ready to bless club sound systems the world over.

Man Power's (Geoff Kirkwood) first vinyl release of 2023 comes courtesy of Helsinki's Echocentric Records. Kirkwood is just as comfortable writing and presenting experimental symphonies, ambient hauntology, and audio-visual orchestral performances as Bed Wetter or delivering raucous kinetic techno as MPX. For everything in between, he is Man Power

More VA action as the series continues with another instalment. As is tradition at OEW, four heavy hitters grace the newest plate. Enlisting rising talents and familiar faces alike, the Witness surveys all, cherry-picking another clutch of intrepid dancefloor navigators for the label.

Asphalt DJ tees off with a shadowy, driving tripper. Flush with insistent throb and a spectrum of proggy flourishes, it’s properly hypnotic fare. De Lichting member RDS, on the other hand, opts in favour of deep space projection. ‘TH Only’ is a pristine transmission; deep groove and widescreen scope primed to soundtrack imagined interplanetary expeditions.

Making nocturnal manoeuvres with a touch of grit, Hypercolour and Glass Table co- founder Ste Roberts goes off on another tangent entirely. ‘Tune Pitch Decay’ is as dusky as it is propulsive; tough and cavernous for the duration. Made of uneasy soundscapes and half-time, rolling drums, Amsterdam local Tammo Hesselink finally rounds things off on an abstract, downtempo tip.

'Lithuanian producer Pletnev might have some occasional fun under the various aliases of Ponty Mython and Moisk, but he here returns to his most central alias on 'When The Job Is Done', his latest EP.

Four bits of 90s-inspired ambient acid house, techno and breakbeat all collide into a wispy and cinematic foray through aetherial post-aquatic electronics. 

Wetness ('Water Can Keep Secrets Too') and dryness (the B tunes) both occupy the wax in equal, complementary measure.

All danceable, of course.

Dare we say, they're synthetic enough to evoke thoughts of what might happen if Laurie Andserson and Vangelis took eccies together.'
