Karoo  - Wild Like An Animal

Buy / Stream: ffm.to/buba-back-to-life

Two very classy tracks here from Montenegro’s Buba, fusing all manner of pretty and potent sounds into a heady mix.

‘Back To Life’ is a light-on-its-feet blend of Italo and melodic techno, where peppy percussion bounces alongside a rubbery bassline and ethereal, muted chords which slowly build a melancholic vibe. A fizzy square wave pulse hammers out a gently uplifting melody over the top, pushing towards the blissful breakdown where each element soars skywards. A gorgeous track to build the mood early in the night.

‘Arza’ could be categorised as Italo trance, with super tight beats and a sensual bass arpeggio fluttering away gently as sustained, filtered pads swell from the depths. The percussion builds, and a gorgeous chime melody softens into focus, also filtered in a dreamy, hazy, lo-fi manner. Big tom fills announce the arrangement switches, and gently phasing detuned chords provide the icing on the cake for this spine-tingling track. Subtle yet deeply emotional, these two gems suggest that Buba has a very bright future ahead.

Arguably one of the most exciting producers currently at work, Montenegro’s Lèrr has been making a steady ascent during his 5 year career. His discography finds releases on marquee imprints like Multinotes, IAMHER, Buttress (plus more), with a diverse style that touches down in electronica, organic, MH&T, progressive and indie. At the heart of it all though is a deft understanding of melody with an ear for all things infectious and beautiful.

PREMIERE : Matias Carafa - Sad Call (Original Mix) [Movement Recordings]

Buy : https://www.beatport.com/release/mercury-transit/4200301
Release Date : 2023-08-04

Tash's Movement Recordings opens the month of August by welcoming Matias Carafa to the label for his debut EP. Hailing from Argentina, Matias Carafa has been a fixture of the progressive house underground for the better part of a decade. The Rosario resident's melodic sound would find its way onto established imprints such as 3rd Avenue, Just Movement and Massive Harmony, while earning the praise of some of the genre's top tastemakers. Now, following a release for Luca Bacchetti's Endless imprint earlier this year, Matias makes his much-anticipated Movement Recordings debut with 'Mercury Transit'. Matias continues to explore timeless progressive narratives on the lead selection 'Mercury Transit'. Rhythmically charged, its smooth pulsating cadence, panoramic arps and mesmerizing percussion set the piece on a course for hypnotic enlightenment. Bending tonal themes marry perfectly with misty atmospheres and rolling drums across the main break, nicely setting up an exhilarating crescendo and grandiose finale. The second selection 'No Return' proves to be a worthy complement with its deep, driving energy. Punchy beats power the groove, while percolating rhythms and haunting overlays add space and intrigue. Continuing to evolve as the main break commences; astral motifs and pensive atmospheres create a unique emotional response, before eventually melting down into a thumping drop and prophetically styled final act. The third and final selection 'Sad Call' continues the smooth progressive minded flow with a gorgeous hypnotic narrative. A rolling low end sets the track in motion as hopeful pads, clustered effects and buoyant rhythms move through the framework as the main break approaches. Foggy and mysterious, the interlude sits at the core of the storyboard, with its timeless appeal eventually revealing rolling meditative structures, before perfectly segueing into a trippy finale.

Dance To Reach

'As Connected arrives at its 3rd year of existence, the team have decided to put together a compilation of tracks old and new that showcases its musical diversity.

On this sampler are brand new remixes from Olaf Stuut, Tim Engelhardt, Stefano Ritteri, Reboot and Moscoman, and they will be released on vinyl alongside a brand new track from label heads Stereo MC’s, plus the first appearance on vinyl of classic connected release ‘Lust’ by Tigerskin K.E.E.N.E and Elli (David Mayer Remix). The full compilation, meanwhile, features catalogue cuts by David Mayer, Re.You, Nandu, Florian Busse, Aaaron, Floyd Lavine and Pôngo amongst others.

Frank Heinrich aka Reboot delivers a remix in typical and well-known manner. Groove, groove and again groove, a lot of love for drum arrangements, plus a bit of weird modulation on the vocal make up this great remix. This piece doesn't have a loud eccentric nature but grabs your attention over time and is not going to leave you until it's over.

This vital contemporary label has been building steam over the last few years with increasing vigour, and this release follows their ethic of offering a diverse and underground mix of tracks that offer plenty of club action.'

This is serious dance music at it's most cutting edge with all the juice to really get you going. It's totally contemporary, innovative and has a chunky dirty feel. "Exploited" take you on an invigorating roller coaster ride back to your youth when you first listened to dance music with all the thrills and spills you so enjoyed about clubbing. It's heavy, exciting and special.
'"Exploited Records" is a seamless melting pot of varied styles that simply can't fail to please even the most discerning ears. Highlights here are plentyful. Not to be missed at any cost.' (Clash)
'Musical hybrids are truly the flavour of today, but few have managed to capture the atmosphere of an unpredictable microcosm of a night out on a recordlabel - until now. Shir Khan's label "Exploited" bottles the zeitgeist's giddy thrills with plenty of style and substance. This is dance music hybridism in all its most glorious forms, and Shir Khan is an expert at making square pegs fit round holes.' (DJ-Mag)
'"Exploited Records" boss Shir Khan has been gaining a lot of acclaim recently, and deservedly so - as he has shown us the high quality, diversity and forward-thinking nature of his label. Engaging, riveting and diverse.' (Data Transmission)
