PREMIERE / 2024 December

Progressive

Bizarro Records returns to its Australian roots for three functional tracks from Eora/Sydney local Eastern Distributor with a remix from Montreal prodigy Maara. Drawing heavily from the psychedelic influences of our country’s bush doof scene, ‘State of Equilibrium’ alludes to trance and techno relics of the past whilst accelerating into a hybrid psy-tek sound.

‘Affinity’ delivers a functional, peak-time psychedelic motion, ebbing and flowing into dark resonant euphoria. ‘Balance’ sticks closer to the modern domestic sound; an upbeat, bubbling tech-house influenced track, presenting a futuristic psy take on a sound marking contemporary dancefloors. The third track ‘Endorphin’ is without doubt a bouncing techno tool, infinitely ascending from powerful low-frequency buzz to progged-out elation. The EP comes to a close with a taste of Maara’s signature sound - characterizing her take on ‘Endorphin’ with an irresistible dancefloor oriented bassline, filled with the angelic pads that define her discography.

Happy Saint Nicholas Day everyone !

The record includes five tracks and a digital bonus exhibiting a sonorous marriage between post-industrial esotericism and club-ready psychedelia; A labyrinth of elaborate sound design coiling around sharp rhythms, adorned by fractured voices spawned in obscure worlds. With sensibility towards granular detailing amidst a powerful cascading flow, La Serpiente’s versatile sonic arrangements coalesce into music that always breathes – A drifting current of enchantment materializing as a release that is both ornamental and symbolic in its vision.

PREMIERE⚡️Tassilo Vanhöfen - Ephemeris [LÍO Press]

TikTok Teens is the debut album of Super 180, brainchild of visual and sound artist Del.Duc and fellow producer Côme.

Hailing from southern France with a unique approach to dancefloor songwriting and a particular taste for mind-melting hooks and psychedelic sound design, the duo bring to light a little gem almost out of nowhere that is set to shine for years to come. Not a single filler on both sides, every track brings a charge of fresh energy with truly memorable moments that once heard seem to imprint the mind of the listener forever, guaranteed by the source.

The six tracks move across a broad spectrum of genres seamlessly shifting from entrancing peak time techno-ish bagners, heavy bass loaded idm torn apart by overtones screaming synth lines, blissfull emotional breakbeat nostalgia and everything in-between, always avoiding to lean in the clichès and pushing the envelope further while keeping all the elements tight and a clear-cut vision from the first to the last bar.

A sense of ecstatic euphoria infuse the whole record which combined with a detailed forward-thinking production and tasteful arrangements makes it a perfect soundtrack for the third millenium braindance specialists.

PREMIERE⚡️Super 180 - Whisper [ESKA]

𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒆: Smogo - Sauvage [ES034]

With this second EP ever released and his second offering to the Electric Shapes' catalogue, Smogo dove deeper into the areas of the subconscient. With a blend of hard rhythms and dangerous sound designs, gathering both his love for Science-Fiction and organic textures, this new EP reflects more than anything his attraction towards ultramodern mental music, well reflecting the ongoing european enthusiasm for fast paced techno, buzzing soundscapes, ethereal harshnes, citing A Strange Wedding, Raär, Solma, Trois-Quarts Taxi System or Sole Massif as his source of influence. Calling this wave as "psytech", it conjures on the dancefloor a bestial spirit made for dance, self-abandon, communion with the others.

Norwegian duo Ost & Kjex make a welcome return to Crosstown Rebels. Their Private Dancer EP is a masterclass in producing dance-floor ready rhythms. They welcome fellow Norwegian Whalesharkattacks to the mix to provide her dark yet dreamy vocals.

“We had a fascination with Tina’s Private Dancer since first being exposed to it by Pat Sharp on Sky Trax in the 80’s. Whalesharkattacks personifies everything that’s cool about the 80’s, so when we met her we knew we had to cut a version” Ost & Kjex

Private Dancer is as dark as it is melodic, with eerie drum pads and a medley of dreamt synths. Norwegian vocalist Whalesharkattacks, whose music has been described as 808 goth, lends a distorted vocal. On Nightingale a burdenging bass adds a sense of urgency interlaced with vocals reminiscent of the 80s era. Cosmic synths float side by side samples of beautiful bird song. A titillating work of art with a mesmerising beat.

Ost & Kjex met at school in their teens, bonding over a love of skating, punk and death metal. Their band, Beyond Dawn, released six albums between 1990 and 2003. Fast forward to 2018, and their shared love of music has developed into electronic productions and creative live shows. Their debut album as Ost & Kjex Some But Not All Cheese Comes From The Moon in 2004 was made entirely of sounds from cheese and biscuits. They’ve played at an eclectic range of venues from Thai restaurants in Moscow to Panorama Bar in Berlin and car launches in China.

B2B003: Azure

Azure has approached the genre of 2-Step on B2B003 to lay down his take on the sound. Azure's naturally lush & rhythmic aesthetic is strongly embedded into the tracks along with a strong focus on bass & punchiness to really be enjoyed in a club setting.

We have been following Azure for what feels like a decade almost. Through Soundcloud chat we used to talk and share music and show off our latest mixes & tracks and in his case, productions. It's so awesome to be able to help share this release and showcase the magic that Azure continues to provide from his home city of Christchurch, New Zealand.

Please enjoy!
