It looked like a normal night under the stars.
In the forest clearing, people were building the stage and setting up the scenery for midnight's big rave.
Alice came to dance but arrived too early to the party.
While she was sitting outside the camp she saw a funky monkey jumping right in front of her.
She heard a whisper but wasn't sure, so she started to follow the little monkey.
Out of the blue she fell down, or was she climbing up?
It all ended very quickly and, to her surprise, nothing seemed to changed around her.
On her way back to the camp she started to hear dark, psychedelic electronic music.
Very quietly she could hear a mantra saying “Petit Monde… Petit Monde..”
She was drawn to the intoxicated voices.
As she arrived, she was shocked to find the camp was full of people, all standing still in front of the DJ booth and humming the mantra.
Slowly she walked inside. People cleared the way for her to pass all the way to the DJ.
Suddenly a strong light appeared and the DJ pointed out at her and shouted-
Danse Alice!!
And the party started.

After the hallucinate EP "Give Chance A Trance", Moderna and Theus Mago return to Duro with a reissue of their first collaboration work, 'Dog Is Calling You', originally released in 2016 under Chloè’s label, Lumière Noire. The reissue includes the three original cuts and the remix of ‘Dog is calling you’ by Die Wilde Jagd, plus three new remixes by Mexico based artists Mijo & Macaulay, Alinka of Twirl Records, and the Riotvan family Peter Invasion & Gregor Habicht .

The EP begins with the classic "Asesino Sicótico", a booming, dark and insane cut. It's a fusion of techno energy with house music groove. It's followed by "Dog Is Calling You", a slow mix of melted bass, orbital and acidic sounds. To close the original versions is the fan favorite "Papa En Roy", a mixture of classic techno with obsessive and repetitive bass lines, while Moderna's vocals take us on a lunatic journey.

The remix by Mijo & Macaulay of "Asesino Sicótico" is a hypnotic, insistent, and powerful cut. The bass line runs over you while the voice gets lost among synthesizers, pads, and percussion. Alinka surprises us with her version of "Papa En Roy", adding echoes of voices, a liquefying and electrifying bass, distorted percussion, and maniacal synthesizers.

Riotvan friends, Peter Invasion & Gregor Habicht, give us their version of "Papa En Roy", which is a forceful and exciting cut, creating bursts of energy perfect for the dance floor. To close the release is the version made by Die Wilde Jagd, a cut with a reverberated and liberating atmosphere, the drums and bass take you to the climax while the drums hold you firmly in a slow but continuous step.

"Moderna & Theus Mago - Dog Is Calling You" will be available on platforms starting from July 14th.

Bufi & Kubebe return to Fauna Reve with their second collaborative EP "Sternana". This production is composed of five original tracks that present a fusion of urban rhythms with sticky basslines, booming drums and resonant, psychedelic and melting sounds.

The release opens with "El Jockey", a collaboration with the talented Portuguese singer Abrao. Together, they created a hypnotic and powerful track, full of glitches and sound caves. Abrao's voice takes you on a surreal journey and envelops you with a feeling of mysticism.

"Sternana" is the second track on the EP, a collaboration with the talented Livia. It's a mixture of urban electronics and street sounds that takes you through alleys full of punctured drums, resonant sounds, snare rolls and Latin rhythms.

The rhythm twists with "Aguachile Dembow", a cut that fuses psychedelia with dembow rhythm. This track has a powerful energy that makes you feel like you're at a street party. Synths blend with deep basslines and psychedelic vocals to take you through an amazing sound experience.

"Llooccaa" is the next track on the EP. This cut features deep and rumbling basslines while pizzicato guitars, cut vocals, and synths push you down. Finally, the EP closes with "Cicatriz", a mixture of oriental sounds with urban rhythms, melting and sweaty basslines.

If you’ve recently been feeling like there is something in the air, your gut feeling is absolutely right. The Weather Report vol. 1 presented by Musumeci is already here to electrify your body. Released under the umbrella of Engrave Ltd music, new EP series features 4 collaboration tracks created by Musumeci himself and his much talented pals Phunkadelica, Alican, Ayala and Enzo Elia.

The Weather Report vol. 1 opens with “This Track”. A true climate changing collab with Phunkadelica, in which Jackin’ House beats and syncopated synth baseline provide a background for some Basement Jaxx stabs reminiscence, along with a classic rave chords' progression. A sexy vocal delivered by Ready in Led is a cherry on top, inviting to dance along. You just can’t say no to that!

The next atmospheric phenomenon in the report is “I’ll Be There”. The track is a blend of musical visions of Musumeci and Alican that resulted in something new and exciting for both of them. A bold mix of Acid bass line, housy groove and bouncing chords makes a solid ground for Nick Maurer's vocals - dark and deep speech alternating to a delicious soulful hook.

Musumeci just keeps on going, as “Don’t Stop” featuring Ayala is yet another banging position on the list. It represents Afro & Disco influences of both artists and has an unexpected punk edge and attitude. Straight beats, funky bass line, steady arpeggios, brass sections and rebel vocal samples create a sophisticated folk atmosphere hard to resist.

Last, but not least, “The Super Heavy Rundfunk” by Musumeci & Enzo Elia. An exploration of glorious “French touch”, which resulted in a monster club tune full of pure rave energy. Combining funk, electro and keyboards improvisations with uplifting screams and shouts vocal samples, the duo is guaranteed to have control over the dance floor and take the audience for a 6-minute-long ride full of madness.

Brace yourselves as The Weather Report series marks the start of a new era for Engrave Ltd. The beginning of the new decade of music is here. Stay Tuned!

Shir Khan Presents Welt Am Draht - a collection of Exploited dancefloor gold from 2023!
Shubostar’s colorful update on cosmic disco fits perfectly with the charms of Budakid’s ’Milestones’, with a bouncing off-beat bass line driving under heavily reverbed kicks and snares and a flurry of ascending arpeggios.
Brazil’s Renato Cohen is a perfect match for Sandhog’s ‘Accent’, bringing his new school electro/Italo touch to the proceedings with a knowing nod to New Order’s monumental classic ‘Blue Monday’.
‘Alte Liebe’ by Berlin’s Micropacer 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.
AIKON from Kyiv reworks Claptone's classic 'United' from 2014 and gives it a heavy update for the dancefloor.
Joyce Muniz delivers dark Italo slammer 'Balin Bali', produced alongside rising Mexican star, Theus Mago.
‘Building Up’ by Enduro Disco is built on a solid foundation of nu disco texture but with a chunkier house edge.
On ‘High Energy’ by Mexican producer Levantine, distorted kicks suck at a tense synth arpeggio while in the distance a dramatic melody plays amidst a church-like reverb.
Barcelona’s Baldo revisits the gorgeously colorful ‘Dream Of You’ from Istanbul’s rising talent Zeynep Erbay, taking it on one hell of a trip.
NEAT’s ‘DYR’ is a beautiful, delicate, unhurried gem of a track, dripping in sensuality. Shimmering percussion and delayed claps lay a foundation atop sorrowful sustained organ-esque pads.
‘Fantasia’ by Kadosh builds slowly through a dramatic minor key bass line and shimmering metallic fuzz to suddenly explode into life with a stunning, sorrowful main riff that rocks a distorted 8-bit electro vibe.
Madrid duo Depaart rock the slick, acidic cut ’And You’ with a real air of sophistication about it.
Studio Barnhus affiliates Måns Glaeser (from swedish Off The Meds) and Basement Space team up for ‘Hollywood Cole’ - a cute breakbeat track peppered with old skool rap & diva vocals, shimmering electric piano chords and a thick, undulating bassline.
Marvin & Guy up the tempo for Joyce Muniz & Theus Mago’s track ’Balin Bali’ to a pacey house bounce and lay on some gentle electro textures.
London duo Make A Dance go deeper on their rework for Budakid’s ‘Milestones’, building through gated snips of the vocal, pulsing pads, Latin snare patterns and subtle bleep riffs and delays to reach a heady, hypnotic place.
Fabrizio Mammarella does the damage on his version of ‘Nechama’ by Sandhog, teasing us slowly with ticking techno percussion that ebbs and flows, he gradually reveals the synth chords amidst giant snare hits and pulsing cymbal rides.
Atlanta-based Sejva closes the compilation with ‘We Only Want To Be Bad’, flexing Hi-NRG muscle with its off-beat bassline, snazzy melodies and campy vocals. A masterclass in retro revivalism.
All in all this is a great eclectic dance compilation.

Theus Mago - Cuerpo y Mente

Fauna Rêve was born in 2020, but it was actually conceived years ago. In a remote town in the Mexican jungle, a group of teenagers gathered to find new and different realities, far from the temporary. No one knew that in those long nights the germ of future and distant adventures had been planted.
 
It is difficult to deny that the overexposure to transforming agents such as psychedelic rock, rave culture and proto-tech-mex left an irreversible mark on the incipient personalities of our protagonists. 

Time later, the label was born between dark and distorted memories of the jungle, the wildlife, the chemicals, the synthetic tones, the electric guitars and the slow sunrises, which  finally did not stop feeling like an ancient deja vú.
