CHLOE & Vassilena Serafimova - Mare A Mare - Sequenza Version (Irène Drésel Remix)

Buy / Stream: ffm.to/micropacer-fijiwater

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.

It's time to get the smoke machines & glitter balls out as Pentland Park bring the heat with their Maître de Sagesse EP for the 8th release on Lava Lava.  The duo have been a mainstay in the Scottish underground scene for many years, gaining a reputation for their eclectic DJ sets and recently clocked up acclaimed releases on Brand New, CB90 Dance Recordings & Everything Will Be OK.  Their latest EP is a foray into classic Italo and Disco sounds accompanied by a sensational remix from Somethin' Sanctified.

Leading the EP, title track Maître de Sagesse takes you straight onto the dance floor with skipping drums, hazy vocals and a sub-heavy plucked basbline.  Hand claps, rattles, guitar licks and fluttering synths inject classic Disco elements into this infectious groove.

On the B side Enterprise is a nod to classic Italo sounds whilst remaining firmly rooted in modern club culture.  An effortlessly cool track where rolling hi-hats, arpeggiated bass and retro snare hits bounce alongside soft synthesisers and sharp pads.

Somethin' Sanctified bring their signature sound with an irresistible analogue take on Maître de Sagesse laid out across 7 minutes.  Crisp percussion, echoing vocals and bright synths lead playfully through the track to a gorgeous breakdown. Resonating low-end bass and four-four grooves bring a classic House flavour to their interpretation.

PREMIERE : This.Is.Sally - Center Of The Universe

Since 2014, Silas Schletterer has been part of the Bordello A Parigi family. Under his Machinegewehr guise, the Rotterdam artist released three show-stopping synth centred records. 2023 sees him put out his fourth, Life. Burbling arpeggios, a signature of his sound, are present for “Sans.” Clever inviting melodies, another feature of Schletterer’s style, mix beautifully with clean percussion and samples for a definite dancefloor favourite. The title work follows. Measured and meditative, “Life” employs a familiar sound palette with very different outcomes. The pulsations, the throb, of Machinegewehr is there, but there is a considered melancholy that brins a bittersweet balance to the piece. Steady kicks and vocal snippets introduce “Pills.” Shifting melodies, piano stabs, driving rhythms and spoken word come together to create a heady brew of sheer pleasure. Vocals are central in the closer. “Neurons” narrates a fantastical story of subdued sci-fi sorrows and wistful yearning, all to a silken synth-pop soundtrack. A welcome return from a multifaceted musician.

Geoff Kirkwood aka MAN POWER is a busy man. He's over a decade in the biz and after releasing EPs on Nocturne, Echocentric and his own label Me Me Me, he is currently on a run with new music coming out on Make A Dance and Rekids - and of course this: His debut on Live At Robert Johnson.

»Mail Order Karma« features Glasgow-based musician and songwriter Elisabeth Elektra handling the vocal duties. Elektra, who has collaborated with Ben Power (Fuck Buttons, Blanck Mass), John Fryer (This Mortal Coil), Jonny Scott (CHVRCHES) and Neil Comber (MIA, Aurora), has supported acts such as The Human League and is a member of Scottish non binary and female songwriter collaborative Hen Hoose. And she sure can sing. Her heavenly voice gives this hypnotic synthetic nu disco banger this little extra something thus allowing you to enjoy heaven on earth indeed as Elektra sings in the refrain. For all of you who can't get enough of these beats or simply want to extend the joys that this tune brings upon any dancefloor, we've included the instrumental version as well.

To round off things here, Geoff's other offering »Cargo Cult« can be seen as the yin to his »Mail Order Karma« yang. It's definitely more moody and dark but does not lack the hypnotic quality Geoff so easily creates with his music. »Cargo Cult« is highly energetic and will definitely be of great use to cause havoc in the club at any given time, rest assured.
