We are proud to present the fifth instalment of the Pal’s compilation, with talent from across the globe, coming together to create a collection to soundtrack these strange days.

First up, Aural Trace sets the scene with the slow burning celestial soundscapes of ‘Melange’, where choral overtones curl up snuggly along the drum machine, fusing organic and mechanics.

The influence of the Cologne School seeps through every pour of M Love’s ‘Oboda’ with warm analogue melodies oozing throughout. 
Churning distorted guitars twist between the throbbing tribal drums of Mufti’s 'Fascinatio'.

Marzian’s 'Conversaciones Delirantes' pulls us through a psychedelic shapeshifting bass heavy prism of sound. Sharp stabs cut through the bass on Flvn’s ‘Yule’, no mistake, this could soundtrack a slasher movie in-spite of its festive title.

Leo af Ekenstam’s ‘Stress’ carries a tense, yet driving groove punctuated by nervous guitars and shady atmospherics. 

A bubbling bit-crushed low end permeates Montessori’s 'Speed Dating’s dark EBM tinged muscular workout.

Stockholm Syndrome teams up with Lusca to craft a pumping retro synth infused stomper which twists and jitters from the opening bars to the last refrain.

Cabizbajo and Colossio also combine their production talent to create the cavernous feedback driven echofest of ‘Ley’ with twisted arpeggios and animal like sounds dancing in and around the drums.

Manner of Speaking play out with ‘the Unknown’, a brooding instrumental downtempo track which strikes a literal and figurative chord with the collective consciousness this past year.

Tracklist: 

1. Aural Trace 'Melange
2. M Love 'Oboda
3. Mufti 'Fascinatio
4. Marzian 'Conversaciones Delirantes
5. Flvn 'Yule
6. Leo af Ekenstam 'Stress
7. Montessori 'Speed Dating
8. Stockholm Syndrome & Lusca 'Symbols For The Simple Minded
9. Cabizbajo & Colossio 'Ley
10. Manner of Speaking 'The Unknown

Format: Digital, EP
Release date: 05/7/21
Purchase: https://monoblok.bandcamp.com/album/neighbourhood-watch-feat-sixtine-nathana-l

Monoblok’s orignal is a catchy electro track with hints of synthwave, and there’s a freshness to it that makes it perfect to hit the dancefloors this summer.
K-Effect and Parissior’s remix takes the indie dance vibe of the original a little further with a powerful synthwave-meets-electro interpretation driven by a strong rhythm section and carefully crafted synth lines, while Laptop Kid ventures frantically into breakbeat territory, distorting the original bassline in the meantime to most dramatic effect.
Ctrl+Stop closes the deal with a no holds barred rework revolving around robotic vocals, dirty textures and uncompromising electro beats. This one is definitely tailored for the dancefloor.

PREMIERE | Monoblok feat. Sixtine & Nathanael - Neighbourhood Watch [Castle Of Tone] 2021

Aguonėlė (Poppy) was a name of a child who lived somewhere in the fields of Lithuania with her grandparents. The fable says Aguonėlė was haunted by a tricky wolf who kidnapped her and carried into the woods.

We called a few people we love and showed them the sample of the story that later was used to create this EP. All of them agreed to participate in the ways they could.

This release was created by the artists, who became personal favourites since the time we met. As a channel, party series, podcast, and freshly formed label, we’re glad to gather those who participated, inspired, and helped us in one way or another.

Inside you’ll find fine breaks and trance, wavy delics and music to dance. From drum n bass to techno, a bit of house and some downtempo.

Also, as briefly mentioned above, it’s a debut release for our small group of people who think, share and cooperate for the sake of this project being.

It’s varied but integral.
Same, same as us.

No bla bla happy christmas stuff from us, only one promise - next year we're coming back with a lot of new music. 

And, of course, the main bit - presents! Our Christmas gift for all the dancers, DJs and lovers. My secret dancefloor banger “Shanghai” - an edit of Lee Marrow - Shanghai 80’s track, which reminds us of pretty much all the parties this year.

We've got DJ GROUND doing his very unique DJ Ground thing with his "Kofun" Remix, which translates to "ancient grave", if you were wondering. We've got happy faces. We've got pleased ears. How about you?

The new release by Fabio Me Llaman Soltero and Don Ipanema Boi on the promising label Richmerch is what we would call “batidão” in Brazil, something like “strong beat”, in a free translation, and it could easily be played during a Baile Funk in Rio de Janeiro due to the strong influence of the spicy and vibrant Funk Carioca in it. “Guatemalan Brigadeiro” has Brazilian influence in its title as well: “Brigadeiro” is a nationwide beloved dessert that can be defined as a bonbon “between a fudgy chocolate truffle and a Tootsie Roll”.

Fun fact: Brigadeiro is Fabio’s favourite dessert, and reportedly, Don Ipanema’s girlfriend prepares the best brigadeiro in the world, because of this the song was named like that. “We wanted to make a simple and non-serious idea with a good and aggressive rhythm that could express the Brazilian and Guatemalan cultures using elements from both countries”, according to Fabio.

Another fun fact: “Fabio Me Llaman Soltero is a character conceptualized by my strong Latin boyband influences that I had when I was a kid, actually I personally met one of the greatest boybands in history: Magneto (Mx). This happened because my mom was a really good friend of the mom of one of the Magneto members. So, Fabio is a rare hybrid between Julio Iglesias, Flavio Cesar, Kairo & Magneto (all Latin pop legends) and he loves a good suntan, yachts and beautiful chicas. My music is inspired in that lifestyle”, said Fabio.

Don Ipanema Boi is Fabio’s brother (real one) and his character comes from his obsession for the Brazilian culture (his girlfriend – the-best-brigadeiro-in-the-world girl – is from São Paulo, by the way). That’s why his music – both DJ sets and productions – has a strong Brazilian feeling.

“Guatemalan Brigadeiro” recipe: Lasers from old game consoles currently used in shitty arcades in abandoned spots in the historic district in Guatemala City, throbbing and striking basslines and vocals from Brazil. 

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

PREMIERE029 // Fabio Me Llaman Soltero & Don Ipanema Boi - Guatemalan Brigadeiro (Original Mix)

Neuroses are caricatures of the great social products of art, religion and philosophy. Hysteria is a caricature of a work of art, a neurosis of obsession is a caricature of a religion, Paranoid delirium is a caricature distortion of a philosophical system.
Our Lyon friends from Hard Fist imprint clenched fists tightly in these  everyone's difficult times and launching their first digital VA compilation.
"La Danse #1 is a first digital compilation of a promising series including lots of 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 putting together organic works to bring a new energy in clubs.
Think of a body: warm, smooth, intense, unrestrained, and apply to it to music.  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, this compilation series preaches for an uninhibited and extravagant dance."  - Hard Fist Records*
Our pick up is London based Kincaid who brings this low- tempo asidistic, techno thriller where hints of acid, techno and wave balance this rougher edge, smoothing down those creased lines for a style that adheres to no boundaries. Just like Sequoia Paranoia
