Adrián Peña Sánchez, recognised as Calystarr, emerges from the shadows of Chiclana de la Frontera, a sonic alchemist weaving beats like a clandestine symphony. A maestro of the electronic realm, his artistry resonates in the ebb and flow, a chiaroscuro of dynamism, depth, elegance, and an enigmatic freshness that dances between night and day.

Within the psychedelic tapestry he weaves, harmonious atmospheres pulsate, revealing a musical landscape draped in retrospective hues. Calystarr's sounds are a journey through time, a mastery of nuance and resources that evoke a suspenseful nostalgia. A sonic researcher, he delves into Nudisco, Italo, Indie Dance, Acid, and the mysterious allure of Dark Disco.

In the dimly lit spaces where Calystarr reigns, one is beckoned into a labyrinth of influences, a maze where retro and underground indie sounds entwine, creating a melodic riddle to be unravelled. Like pages torn from a noir novel, his sets and productions resonate with a palpable tension, a rhythmic heartbeat that propels the listener into uncharted musical realms.

Emerging from the nocturnal depths of Cologne's underground, Etane commands the realm as a producer, composer, and DJ, leading the Intertrax music collective and the secretive Oberwave community. With origins rooted in synthpop duo Getsuga Tenshou and honed at The Cologne University of Music, Etane's sonic alchemy challenges dance music's fabric, blending Italo Disco, Darkwave, EBM, Trance, and Acid Techno into a mesmerizing tapestry.

Inspired by the enigmatic allure of urban landscapes and the spectral echoes of the 80s, Etane invites listeners into a labyrinthine realm where shadows dance and whispers beckon. His compositions, pulsating with throbbing rhythms and infused with ethereal melodies, conjure a symphony that transcends time and space.

Etane's sonic voyages, released on esteemed labels such as Critical Monday, Odonien Records, Ombra International, Samo Records, and Logical Records, serve as clandestine transmissions from the depths of the unknown, resonating with the souls of those who dare to venture into the darkness.

Counterterraism Guest Mix327: Etane

Factor City kicks off its third decade in full swing, led by Undo solo and accompanied by its usual partners Casiowaves and Vicknoise.

It all began in 2003 when Undo & Vicknoise laid the foundation for the label with "Noctámbula," and over the years, they continued to collaborate closely, managing the label and producing "hits" such as "Orca" or "Happy Monday." From 2011 onward, following an amicable parting, Undo began to run the label solo while maintaining the same spirit and distinctive sound of the Barcelona-based label, always at the forefront of dance music produced in Spain.

Now, in 2024, in a "digital” world where fewer and fewer things can be touched with our fingers and where 100,000 songs are uploaded to Spotify every day, Factor City is charting a different course and starts a new decade on the dance floors by returning to vinyl releases and persisting in their low key and relaxed approach, releasing few and carefully curated records from their artists each year. 

“Ciudad Futura” opens with "Good Times," a track by Undo that radiates joy and positivity. An euphoric ride through landscapes of analog synthesizers and drum machines. The second track on side A is signed by Undo & Vicknoise, who hadn't produced together in 15 years. And we hope they won't take as long to get back in the studio together after hearing the fantastic track "Electric Rainbow." A delightful slice of electro-disco. 

The B side is signed by the recent combo of Undo and Casiowaves. The first track, "Secret Worlds," follows in the wake of their recent releases on Factor City and Melodize with that winning combination of retro 80s and 90s synths with vocoders and a more contemporary production. Closing out the record is "Astralia," a vibrant "power synth pop" anthem adorned with FM synths and acid-tinged melodies.

Moderna's arresting debut album on her own Brave New Rave has been in the works for seven years and was written across sessions in Berlin and Mexico City. It is an exploration of Berlin's influence on techno, dark disco and queer culture that takes in a diverse array of influences and inspirations from the music of Prince to a collaboration with post-punk artist Skelesys via electro, dark wave and more. The tracks are all raw, dancefloor-focussed cuts with rugged basslines, layered and well-treated vocals and a futuristic sense of sound that draws you in deep and keeps you locked.

PREMIERE: Moderna - The Future is Among Us [Brave New Rave]

In November last year, Undo released “Disconnect”, his third album. A charming long-player that has won very good feedbacks and reviews. Now it’s time to unveil the first Ep with remixes from the album. A great and variate package including reworks from friends and artists he admires as mexican Iñigo Vontier, russian Dimitri Veimar and belgium Cabaret Nocturne. There’s also a new mix by Undo himself.
Opening the 12” we find Iñigo Vontier’s version of “Autómatas”. The rising mexican producer delivers an exciting remix with his own latin trademark. A steady bassline, lush percussions, effective synth action and the original Undo vocal chop all very well combined to create a perfect dance-floor weapon. The sexy incantation of “Computer Friends” is revisited by Dimitri Veimar, Cabaret Nocturne and Undo himself. Veimar’s take is very special. He stripped down the original processing the vocals and using only a few machinedrum stems from the original and the minilogue pad. The result is a dub journey full of synth tension and hidden beats. Cabaret Nocturne’s remix respects a lot the original but takes it to another level adding a brand new bassline, speeding up things a bit and showing up his top production skills. Undo’s new version has almost nothing to do with the original but the vocals. He’s converted the funny and sexy original into a dark acid number. But the message remain the same.

Thanks for listening!
