We're back with our 8th instalment of the Pals Series, with our merry band of friends, compiling a varied aural pallet of sound and fury, music and noise. 

From old friend and contributor Thomass Jackson who opens the compilation with 'Sexual Camel', to first appearances by Ackerman, Mmyylo, Günce Aci, Sid Le Rock, Martin Martin & Cali Burton ft. Sofia Trenti and Beartrax, and closing the comp again Manner of Speaking with the widescreen cinematic stop motion atmospherics of ‘Idealistic’. 

A sonic palette of robotic, hypnotic, exotic and sinister grooves from all around the globe.

PREMIERE : Aphasia - Fractured Shadows (Paul Angelo & Don Argento Remix) [Astral Records]
BUY : https://www.beatport.com/release/fractured-shadows/4479834
Release date : 29/03/2024

Astral Records rounds out the month of March by welcoming Aphasia (ofc) to the label for his debut single. Born and raised in Greece, Aphasia was exposed to the sounds of electronic music at a young age and has continued on that path. Already an accomplished DJ, the Greek artist has shared the stage with like minded talents such as Mathame and Woo York. Now, after years of honing his studio skills, Aphasia arrives with an obscure yet compelling sound design, consisting of mystifying atmospheres and mind-bending leads, aimed to take the listener on a dark and groovy voyage. Astral Records serves as the the perfect vehicle for Aphasia's much anticipated debut ‘Fractured Shadows', alongside remixes from Paul Angelo & Don Argento and Maarten Spoor.

Taking cues from the early sounds of Tale of Us and Mind Against, Aphasia crafts a moody journey into the darker depths of melodic house & techno with ‘Fractured Shadows'. With a mysterious and deeply compelling architecture built around buzzing sonics and icy synth mutations, it's a series of peaks and valleys which ultimately for such a memorable dancefloor experience, one where a prophetic break cleverly coaxes the primary themes for a cosmic finale.

Returning to the label for the first interpretation of ‘Fractured Shadows' are Paul Angelo & Don Argento. With a career that spans the better part of a decade, Cyprus based duo Paul and Don have achieved measurable success, taking their melodic sound to influential imprints such as Future Romance, Movement, Timeless Moment, UV Noir and more. Astral Records has also served as a landing spot for the talented act, recording six originals across three releases since making their label debut in 2021 with the ‘Icarus' EP. Closing out 2023 with a contribution to Solee's Future Romance ‘Sonos Futures' collection, the duo now returns to Astral with a heady take on ‘Fractured Shadows'. With a creative approach, Paul and Don remodel the track into a smooth meditative slice of melodic techno. Bound together by a hypno-architecture, it's a blend of shapeshifting effects, moody atmospherics and finely manicured percussion which ultimately carries this cruising journey, one where Paul and Don unlock a refined part of their studio repertoire.

The release concludes with Maarten Spoor making his label debut with the second and final interpretation of ‘Fractured Shadows'. Hailing from the Netherlands, Maarrten Spoor is one the new upcoming talents in the world of melodic house & techno. A 2023 debut via Rob Hes' Pursuit Records was well-received, setting the course for his first official EP release later that same year via Dutch imprint Nova Collective. Continuing on an upwards trajectory, the Amsterdam's resident began 2024 with a contribution to the third installment of New Tab's recently coined ‘Opera' series. Now, adding Astral Records to his resume Maarten delivers his first official remix, taking ‘Fractured Shadows' into dark and devilish territory. Taking inspiration from the original, the Dutch artist brings more of a contemporary feel to the track through techno-inspired beats, buzzing basslines and rippling rhythms. it's a smooth energy-rush aimed squarely at the dancefloor - one where Maarten further solidifies himself as one of the genre's most talented new artists.

Artists: Cie, Mar io
Remix: Zweig
Title: Mindmodulator (formnterra006dx)
Release Date: 9th August 2024, digital

Cie & Mar io's latest work, "Mindmodulator", plays with the senses and opens doors to new, unexplored dimensions of the mind. The original mix starts furiously right away and brings the synapses to a boil with its intense and hypnotic break, only to burn itself explosively into the head. In the fiery remix of Zweig, the pads dance on groovy 303 basslines and enchant the deep parts of the brain. The suspenseful "Hot Mix", on the other hand, flows deeper and deeper into unimagined areas, heats the temperature inexorably, so that you can no longer escape its powerful pull and the modulations illuminate even the most hidden convolutions of the brain. This high energy level is also reached in a very short time by the "live version", which was recorded uncut as part of a performance on the radio station sonus fm, and immediately makes the neurons dance on all levels. In short, four electrifying variants of "Mindmodulator" that can change reality!
