PREMIERE | Javier Ferriera - Lockdown [Ninefont] 2021

After numerous releases in the past 12 months, Tel Aviv based Eliezer (@laze_65), joins Play Pal Music (@playpalmusic), along with friends of the label, Mufti (@muftimx) Skelesys (@skelesys) and Ackerman (@ackerman_music) to deliver 'Ritmica La Noar', three guitar laden sonic meditations backed up with remixes from French duo Kimshies, who pushes the tempo and stretches the fabrics weaving together a patchwork of fear and
loathing,  Modular Project who pulls the guitar and twisted harmonics from 'Don't Be', using them to create a widescreen technicolour opiate laden take and Tyu who rebuilds 'Halalit Ushma Tshuka' into a more tribal understated and up-tempo mutant dance rework.

Our beloved house producer, Hemi, arrives on Duro with ‘Whispers’. He’s been around for some time operating from Istanbul, Turkey, both as a DJ, producer, promoter or film maker. To follow the single we invited the mind behind Frank Music label, Johannes Albert. German DJ & producer resident from the notorious Berlin party hotspot Renate.

The opener is the original version, a cut fueled by forceful drums, a power-driven sinewy bass, mixed with a barrage of resonant percussions, a deep piano riff, and a contrast of distant, spectral vocals alongside wacky synthesizers.

On the b side we have the remix made by Johannes Albert, a solid, electrifying and ethereal track. Dynamic drums accompanied by a shocker bass, liquid and centrifugal synthesizers and undulating pianos, a lightning bolt to the dance floor.

Mau Maioli presents his first album "Where Go", through the nuances of Indie Dance, which combine timbres of Italo Disco, Synth Wave and Indie Rock.

In eight tracks, Mau demonstrates his aptitude and willingness to musically express his feelings lived between the years 2021 and early 2022. With reflections involving the universe of mental health, he seeks with music to show the importance of care for the mind.

In "Brain Voices" Mau begins his journey introspectively and somewhat melancholy. This is a characteristic of Mau and in the introductory track, the artist already shows timbres that will be heard throughout the eight tracks.

A little Italo? In "Hands", Bad search in his Italian descent a little of what the country gave to the world. With the use of clapping samples, the music gives us the feeling of being on some stage.

In collaboration with Lapax, the duo created "Nostalgic Beings". The track mixes not only the timbres of the past, but seeks in nostalgia to express the feelings that both Mau and Bruna are linked. The singer translated her routine as a nostalgic and reflective way and that’s what you hear in music.

The track Title, "Where Go", goes through another side of Mau. Here the artist rescues his influences from Indie Rock. A little slower and melancholy, where you can hear the voice of Mau, who first appears in an authorial work. 

In collaboration with Vasconcellos, the duo of artists unites their energies and creativity for the "Strings of Hope". In difficult times both Rafael and Maurício saw in the song a happy ending and thus created Strings that represent a little of this hope. The song is accompanied by an arpeggiated bass and groovy drums. This combination takes place through one of the most danceable tracks of this work.

Berlin’s Micropacer debuts on Exploited Club with a superb 4-track EP of bright, melodic music following a string of releases on Ritmo Fatale, AEON Audio, and Melodize.

‘Fiji Water’ kicks off with strong fist-pumping intent and setting the Italo tone for the EP. Warm chord progressions play out on the most ‘80s of synths while the bass arps bubble away pleasingly and the interweaving percussion keeps an urgent yet uncluttered feel to the proceedings.

‘Tummo’ builds slowly and fixates on sprightly and piano chords and jaunty synth lines to keep the mood jubilant. Buzzing bass swells provide extra uplift while a big drum solo mid-way through perfectly recalls classic ‘80s pop/dance dubs. The tom fills are perfection and the breakdown reaches giddy new levels of euphoria.
.
Not smiling yet? Gosh, you’re a tough customer. ‘Alte Liebe’ will send you over the edge. An absolutely stunning melodic progression underpins the undulating bass and relentless piano stomp of this one, recalling classic Italo / piano house with its jubilant feel and soaring pads. Huge.

‘1983’ is pure Italo / Hi-NRG pump, camply strutting its off-beat bass throb across the dancefloor as shards of sharp synth chords pierce through the mix and concoct a melancholy vibe alongside far-flung countermelody in the distance.

Opening track 'Profit Jam' is a powerful sci-fi  soundtrack. Seizmic bass and overdriven noise swirl around us atop a metronomic beat, as a ferocious wall of bass drives the track deep into the void.

DANCING IN MILAN

The summer sun is high in the sky. A cocktail in hand. The soundtrack? Chiara. Steeped in Latin rhythms, produced with the golden touch of Francesco de Bellis (Francisco), this two-tracker is set to a serious groove. Beats chatter and mingle in the evening heat of “Rec” Bass smoothness and brassy blasts are sweetened by Chiara’s vocals before dramatic strings flash like lightning, igniting this already energy-packed encounter. “Studio Line” continues that theatrical touch. Bold keys, echoing the cinematic grandeur of Italy, are supported by dynamic drum patterns as a vocal sample circles. Styles spin and spiral, the track twirling between genre tags refusing to be pigeonholed. Elements of East and West glide and pirouette hand in hand across this stunning 7”, Chiara offering the perfect soundtrack to dance from dusk to dawn.

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)
