Amount (aka Nayan Soukie) returns to Silicone Soul's Darkroom Dubs with a vibrant new EP, just in time to join the celebrations of the label's landmark 20th anniversary.

After making his name in the burgeoning minimal, techno and house scenes in his hometown of Bremen and rolling out revered collaborations with close friend and production partner Fritz Windish (as Soukie & Windish) and URSL label co-founders Sebo & Madmotormiquel, the Berlin-based producer has turned his attention to his live solo project. His latest offering, 'Psycho Disco', flirts with his minimal, downtempo and disco influences before dragging the listener into a time-distorting vortex in an impressive showcase of technical skill.

The deceivingly minimalistic 'The Snake' opens proceedings with aplomb, gripping yet groovy, before gradually twisting into a mesmerising blend of carefully crafted sonic layers. Underscored by robotic echoes and metallic notes, the relentless rhythm fades out only to come back in full force, dialling into the red and electrifying the dancefloor.

Next, the stripped-back 'In the Desert' brings a constantly escalating tension that hints at an underlying frenzy yearning to surface. Distorted and fragmented voices intertwine, looping into a hypnotic kaleidoscope that beckons us to surrender control and spirit away into an altered state. 

Closing the EP is the gritty, acid-tinged title track, ‘Psycho Disco' - an after-hours groover with a beat that bounces around your brain, slowing into tense cascading tones before shifting abruptly on its axis to take an entirely different direction and purpose.

Minimalist in approach yet complex and multilayered, this latest dispatch is a powerful reminder of the raw power of live electronics. Let yourself go and prepare for an exhilarating ride. Amount will also feature on the Darkroom Dubs vicennial compilation out on the 28th of September.

INCOMING : DOCTR - Lucys Dream (Lauer Remix)  #Feinstoff
Release date : 30/08/2024
BUY : https://feinstoff.bandcamp.com/album/doctr-lucys-dream

Dutch Italo-house purveyor and revered selector DOCTR joins Feinstoff with ‘Lucy’s Dream,’ a two-track EP dripping in euphoria and sophistication, featuring powerful remixes from visionary label head Freudenthal and pioneering producer Lauer adding his ever-groundbreaking sound.

With nods to the early Chicago house scene and the golden era of Italo Disco, the title track ‘Lucy’s Dream’ propels us into a feel-good, sun-drenched anthem, transporting the listener to day parties of the past and present. Shimmering piano stabs sit above a defined analogue bassline, with swelling synth lines slicing through the mix. A beautifully harnessed LFO bursts open the track after the breakdown, culminating in what can only be described as an instant piano Italo-house classic.

The legendary Lauer joins the release with another unstoppable remix, using his signature sound and innate ability to elevate an original to next-level heights. Unmistakable pads and chorus-drenched guitars launch into an ascending, rasping riff keeping us hooked from the get go. Lauer’s unique take on Italo Disco and seminal sound are on full display, with an augmented chord pattern that steadily keeps us on our toes. Simply put, Lauer does it once again in full force.

BUY : https://melomanarecords.bandcamp.com/album/stockholm-youth-vol-2

Melómana Records' latest release, reference number 42, is distinguished by the collaboration of two renowned artists from the label, Stockholm Syndrome and Tronik Youth. This release includes two original tracks that blend genres like electro, EBM, dark disco, and new wave among others, characterized by the intensive use of strident synthesizers and a robust and forceful rhythmic base, elements that guarantee their effectiveness on the dance floors.

The original tracks are complemented by three innovative remixes: Gameboyz, Mexican producer TH3OS, and French artist Cate Hortl add new dimensions to the EP's sound. "Viodance," the track that opens the release, stands out with its catchy riff and funk elements, combined with hypnotic vocals and complex arpeggios that transport the listener to another era. "Fascinated" raises the rhythm with a dark disco style bass and an arpeggiated synthesizer line that transports us to futuristic new dimensions of the dance floors.

Gameboyz's remix of "Viodance" incorporates an electro sound with marked percussions and acid sequences that capture the listener's attention from the very first moment. Meanwhile, TH3OS adds a dark, minimal, and techno dimension to the sametrack, using the original arpeggio line to create a sensory journey filled with hypnotic rhythms. Finally, Cate Hortl delivers a standout remix combining powerful bass lines in the style of Gesaffelstein with the original track's synthesizers, maintaining its essence while exploring new sonic territories.

This release not only reaffirms Melómana Records' commitment to a distinctive and constantly evolving sound but also anticipates a 2024 full of innovations and surpriseswithin the electronic music scene. Stay tuned for future revelations that will continue to define the cutting edge of the genre.

After having released on AEON and Roam Recordings, Franz Matthews returns home on his  HIFI/LOFI imprint by releasing his Symmetric Dance EP, showing us once more how the  producer likes to play with the codes of House, Space Disco, and Indie Dance by intertwining  them and turning them into his very own secret sauce.
 
The trip starts with the eponymous Symmetric Dance, where a faster-than-usual Franz brings us into the groove  with a deep bass line supporting the words of a sort of musical guru, leading you (yes, you.) progressively into  the ecstatic moment of the Symmetric Dance, here materialised by a catchy house-y piano part that later exploses  into a festival of notes before coming back to an infamous rhythm that we dare you not to dance to. Is it summer  yet ? Yes, probably. 

Moving on to Zero Gravity, we step into a fast-paced ride of cosmic synth escapades that take our vehicle on a  full throttle run until it has left the launching ramp and floats into mid-air, not really knowing when or where it will  land. But, just as you finished catching your breath again, you land back on earth, full speed, and navigate in the  middle of another asteroid galaxy tour, taking a few Machs along the way until it is time for the next bump. Will  you land back on your feet this time ? Yes, probably. 

Closing the cosmic ride, the slower ‘Herbie Crashed The Party’ is a progressive burner constructed around a  centre ARP2600 synth line evolving throughout the whole track and being joined by funky guitars, heady synth  ornementations, and a stabby brass ensemble that opens up the door to what seems to be the ghost of an  unusual guest as the party goes on, which makes us wonder if it was a good idea to let Herbie Hancock in at the  party ? And again we will answer : Yes, probably. 

‘Symmetric Dance’ - Out Sept. 20th on HIFI/LOFI Records.

Mexico meets Augsburg! Feines Tier veterans @theusmago and @dominik-marz join forces for the „Timewarp“ EP. And to everybody whose stream of consciousness associates this title to terms like „Feierei“ and „Gude Laune“: Well, you’re not wrong. The message is brought to you through on-point less-is-more drum programming, distorted toms, crystalline synths, chirping 303s and spliced-up vocals. So basically everything you’d ever need for a proper feierei. Mr Smallville Paris aka Jacques Bon and his pal Drux (nomen est omen?) serve their exquisite tastebuds to cook up a bittersweet remix of the tune, which makes for a deep(!) dish with its trippy percussion layers and nebulous pads. Maybe don’t drive a car after consuming this one. The gude vibes continue with „Fredonien“ which is served in two variations: Firstly the „Vox Mix“ which is going all in on honoring its title and is as sweet as candy, with the synth chords adding that dip of melancholy we’re craving from all the best deep house tunes. The regular version is a more streamlined affair, but don’t be fooled: The amount it’s lacking in heart wrenching vocals is more than made up by melodramatic Mellotron-y synths dropping by from time to time to say hello and raise the stakes. All we’ve got left to say after all these timewarps, drux and vox is: More of this collab, please!

A new record label, Burning Synths, has just announced its inaugural release, with a mission to bring back the spirit of 80s and 90s music. Drawing inspiration from Italo, Rave, Acid, and Retrowave, the label aims to merge nostalgic sounds with a fresh, contemporary approach.

For its debut, Burning Synths has tapped Mundo D, a celebrated producer from Valencia, Spain. Mundo D has made a name for himself with releases on acclaimed labels such as Sincopat, Nein, Critical Monday, and Club Mackan. His signature style blends early 90s rave and trance melodies driven by synths with rhythmic patterns and basslines influenced by Italo, Retrowave, and classic 80s electronic music.

The first track, Energy Trance, brings a high-energy, mid-tempo, featuring an intense, synth-heavy melody, pulsating basslines, and a dynamic rhythm section. Crafted to ignite the dance floor, the track is also perfect for moments that call for a boost of motivation and focus. DJs and listeners alike can expect a powerful sonic experience when Energy Trance drops on all digital platforms and streaming services on September 27th.

‚Sputnik Snare‘ is the first contact made by ‚Church of Ajijik‘, a new mysterious duo consisting of the space traveling prophets ‚MynkMynk‘ and ‚1409‘, the alter egos of veteran musicians ‚Deckert‘ and ‚Laser‘.

The new found Berlin act produces self proclaimed ‚Krautrave‘, a form of psychedelic brutalism inspired by the likes of CAN, Harmonia, NEU!, The KLF and Suicide, handcrafted for unique dancefloor processions.

A stoic drum machine pattern fused with a simple bassline marks the marching core foundation which provides the dark canvas for a colorful playground of harmonic elements ranging from groovy synth patterns to krautrocky guitar riffs. ‚Sputnik Snare‘ finds it soaring climax in a crescendo of percussions before it fades out into the spacey void it originated from.

‚Church of Ajijik‘ are experimental explorers but deeply rooted in the core principles of rave culture, which makes their firstborn an appealing tool for both slightly adventurous DJ sets and chilled out after hours at home.
