Alex Medina Alex previously released on COD3 QR (Laurent Garniers label), Innervisions, Watergate, TAU, Diynamic and many more.
For Exploited Club, Alex Medina rolls out 'Ayy Paapi'; a truly singular soundclash that bumps like House and glistens like an Italo whilst also exuding the moxie of Reggaeton. 

Being Spanish born, Medina sought to incorporate his mother tongue into his music. He was motivated by 'the excitement of flirting with some Reggaeton vibes and bringing them to the next level of modern electronic music'. 

Speaking about the specific inspiration behind the vocals, he says 'Ayy Paapi was born on a family holiday with my little daughter Gala calling me papi, papi papi all the time..so I decided to use Spanish Reggaeton vocals to represent my mood as a father‘.

The title track kicks things off; melodies sway through bitter-sweet cycles while a reverberated signal roars out with a gripping power. Sequences, fx and the vocal refrain continue to build an esoteric braid that's guaranteed to linger in the mind long after the parties over. 

'Rompe Disco' follows up with a playful, percussive Breaks / Electro tool. Saw blades slice through a deep-set bass line while more Spanish vocals flower. A striking breakdown lances in and shatters the track with head bending results before accurate breaks lock back in and carry synth-lines and robotic vocals to the end. 

'Espacio Amor' dials in a big room vibe as more mournful chords glide over a straight 4/4 groove. LFOs have synths flashing in expressive strokes before a series of breakdowns form launch pads for bold, arresting drops that are certain send ripples across the floor.

🗓️ (Un-)Released in 2014 
🎹 Dan Croll | From Nowhere | Âme Remix
©️ Unreleased

Âme's remix of Dan Croll’s ‘From Nowhere’, hotly tipped to be one of the stand out tracks in Ibiza during 2014. “Every now then I Lose My Mind” and thats exactly what the clubbers were (and will be) doing when they hear this track.

However, with numerous rips circulating the internet (including this one), none delivering sound quality sufficient enough to be played on a proper club system. Âme’s remix of ‘From Nowhere’ by Dan Croll is an elusive unreleased track. It probably will never be released, as apparently Dan Croll’s management and the label decided not to include it on the EP.
