Eyjafjöll - The Expansion Force Of The Seed

After kicking off 2022 with “The Annual Compilation: 2021”, featuring some of the finest tunes from its last year’s releases, Espacio Cielo brings to light “Unreachable”, the first EP of the Spanish powerhouse in the current orbit. Fruit of the creative mind of Durango-based producer Barko in partnership with singer Damien Karras, the EP brings three original cuts that trigger proper 80s vibes – especially because of Damien’s Bowie-like striking voice. The Synthpop meets Post-Punk concoction results in a retro but fresh sonority, rather different from Barko’s previous works on Emerald & Doreen, Nein Records and Espacio Cielo itself.

The track we were solicited to premiere/review, “Our Days Are Over”, brings Barko & Damien successfully flirting with their gothic influences and delivering a beautiful darkness-infused theme with a throbbing Joy Division/The Cure-inspired bassline, sinister FXs and Ziggy-styled vocals as highlights.

Kicking off 2022, we are happy to announce the debut EP from italian producer & DJ Uabos. Known from his releases on Pordello A Parigi or Toytonics, Matteo Andrea Pepe (aka Uabos) delivers a stunning 3 track EP with the title „Soul On Soul“.
The EP starts impulsive, straight forward and with a catchy hook. ’Soul On Soul’ builds a bridge between Italo- Disco & modern Indie Dance. „It is a mystical trip between two lovers. It is the union of two souls, joined in a past life and now reunited. It is a circle that closes, Matteo claims.
Continuing with a travel back in time, ’M&P Frontier' is a mixture 90’s House & Rave, flavored with a splash of Euro Dance. Fittingly Uabos describes: The track goes back to my origins. It's journey throughout my life since I met electronic music... just in a new version.
Closing the EP with another top tune, that could easily also be the A-Side of this package, 'Illusion' sails mood wise in more happy waters. Though it might be less impulsive, it isn’t less catchy than the previous tunes. „Illusions are the specters that live in each of us. They are the distorted existences that we impose on ourselves. It is their frequency that makes us wake up and understand true reality.“, Uabos explains about the idea behind it.
'Illusion' is a trip between trance and Italo- Disco, another fresh tune to heat up the dance floor.

For its forthcoming episode, Espacio Cielo presents “Acid Rhythm” by Italian stallion Francesco Mantovani aka Csk (SXDNS080). The seasoned DJ and producer has been on the road for quite some time – since 1991, to be more precise –, which means he has amassed a plethora of influences during his journey. In his works, for instance, it is notable the use of elements from his rave era combined with “Indie” attributes, probably absorbed during more recent times. The result is an interesting concoction with a retro but fresh aura that has been released on vital labels such as Ombra International, Emerald & Doreen, Dogs & Vultures, NEIN, Maleante, and Secret Fusion, just to name a few. 

For his debut on the Spanish powerhouse, Csk, who is also a label owner (Csk:Beat), invited two other fellow honchos for the remixes duties: Tronik Youth (SXDNS050) and Parissior (SXDNS206/FREEDL043), coincidently the bosses of the two imprints on which we released the first instalments of the Takeover series (https://sxdns.de/takeover), NEIN and Espacio Cielo.

Premiered here, Sir Neil Parnell’s interpretation of the title track takes the theme to a darker realm, inhabited by creepy six-legged creatures who love to dance 24/7, hence the necessity of having such a number of limbs. While the original delivers a more upbeat atmosphere, the remix boasts its beauty through a more introspective and acid aura. The main ingredients of the original are still there but now clad with a black cloak.

As the second installment of the 12inch series on the German Eine Welt label, the two musicians Alexander Arpeggio and Nixxon who has previously worked and released music under the moniker “Ekstern”, tasted the wonderful Künefe cake for the first time on an autumn evening in Berlin. They got so excited about the sweet cheesy taste that they wrote a song about it. An up-tempo dance floor banger with a punchy bass line,  synthesizer melodies, and vocals describing the middle eastern flavors that had tickled their tongues. 
On the B-side you’ll find Op beni Künefe as the down-tempo track with Turkish inspired melodies on top of a steady drum machine beat. Istanbul artist Hilal Can interprets the concept with sensual vocals as the sweet syrup on top of the crunchy pastry. The whole process of making the record took its time, but now it’s ready to be served. And served hot!

Bordello A Parigi’s latest release brings together two heavyweights for something particularly special. Aroy Dee, founder of M>O>S Recordings, has been at the coalface of machine music for more than twenty years; Marco Antonio Spaventi, an exceptional composer with over a decade’s experience. The pair offered the tear-stained vocoder ballad of “Desire” two years back, now they return for “Sorrow.” Crisp rhythms and considered synth scales form the bedrock from which J.C.’s emotion wrung lyrics ensnare. A tale of lovelorn pain, a psychological journey of lamentations and mistakes, the track adopts the heartache of wave romance and contrasts it with clean musical lines. The “Space Dub” of the flip transforms those powerful lyrics to give space for brightness to enter. Cascading chords and sunlight break through as arpeggio quivers introduce vocoder vocals in this superb re-interpretation that balances warmth with frigid shades.

Aroy Dee & Spaventi feat. J.C. - Sorrow

They called them outsiders; people that lived on the fringes of society and had no interest in traditional ways of living. People had their own opinions of the ways in which they chose to live their lives, not that it phased them in any way, they saw those living "regular" lives as the ones losing out. They thought of them as slaves to the system, doing what others told them. In contrast they thought of themselves as renegades - they carved out their own norms, and lived free of control.

Robi Insinna, better known as Headman, has been slowly teasing out music that will appear on his upcoming album, penned for release on his own Relish Recordings. 'Not About' is the second single to be released - a track that was originally shared as an instrumental all the way back in 2015. This brand new iteration, under its new name, features reworked and additional vocals from Robi, and in true Headman style comes complete with a dub version that veers into Detroit techno. To round off the package, he's invited Italian born producer Mario Resta, who moonlights as Exterminador, to create two special remixes.

From Above Vol. 3, fortieth reference (already!) of Lumière Noire and third compilation of the label is a record in its own right. Let's say that it would be a pity to classify it in the "commercial sampler" category or to reduce it to a "random" playlist. This collection of unreleased tracks functions as a journey, a celebration of a community spirit as much as of the ethics defended by Chloe's label.

Daniel Solís aka Second Gate delivers his debut EP straight from the heart of Mexico, bringing his genre-bending approach to the label through 3 tracks inspired by the Latin American culture developed around mysticism and black magic. It includes three unique and delightful remixes by Bonnie Spacey, Anastasia Zems and Ives Barceló.

Starting with Santero, presenting a powerful analog bass serves as a foundation for tribal drums, mysterious chants and glitched vocals. Everything is wrapped up by the dark atmospheres that will launch listeners into a trip through an eerie and mysterious jungle. 

Followed by the remixes, French and Marseille based Dj & Producer, Bonnie Spacey, also head of Critical Monday is in charge of adding some lightness to the Ep, landing some Italo/Synthwave vibes plus an exquisite vocal. 

Adding more female power to the label, we have the honor to have Anastasia Zems, with releases on Whypeopledance, Les Yeux Orange and Human Endeavour debuting as well on the label, bringing an unique feel to the release, trippy, clubby and hypnotic, just perfect for a peak time hour.

Ives Barceló strikes back with an enigmatic mix, inspired by the magic lands of Veracruz, México, bringing to you a joyful journey to the deep jungle of Catemaco, somehow you will witness some eerie voices from the witches calling you for an introspective trip. 

For Black Magic, it has a powerful bass followed by modular synthesizers take us onto a trip through a dark landscape full of polyrhythms, granular synths and every weird technique that came to Daniels mind while he delivers his mysterious and hypnotic style to this Indie Dance with Electro influences track.   

Closing with Twisted Man, fusing Indie Dance and Dub music, its rumbly bass and dub chords will push any dancefloor into psychedelic frenzy. The weird atmospheres and drones slowly creep through the track, ready to be replaced by mind melting leads and techno drums when the track comes to its highest point.

Cosman delivers two eclectic bangers loaded with heavy percussion, big room beats, obscure bass lines and mid east synth melodies. An inescapable trance to a dystopian reality. 

Yotam Russo imprints his signature sound to “Zumbi” inviting the Zombie gang to a beach party in Tel Aviv. Sunshine, groovy rhythms and acid waves are guaranteed. 

Heidenreich brings his characteristic freaky beats, detuned atmospheres and pulsating bass patterns to "Phrygian Trance", creating a psychotic experience perfectly cooked for the melting hours in the club.
