Summertime is here and there's no better way to celebrate it!
"Blanco Sombra" is Syd dePalma's debut on Rotten City. An EP where love, hate, and fear converge at a single point. Featuring two original tracks, "Puerto Leone" and "Cuerpo, Sombra y Espalda," the Spanish producer, musician, and vocalist has delved into the darkness to extract every color, finding a wonderful balance between various elements such as light and darkness, with classic and new methods of composition and production. The result is a fluctuating blend of new wave, psychedelia, and post-pop, creating a sonic space comparable to
the feeling of nightfall, where one cannot distinguish between their strengths and weaknesses, yet still feels comfortable in the ebb and flow of sensations between good and evil.
On the other hand, Delone, fascinated by the vibes of "The Knife" or "Fever Ray" in "Puerto Leone", has transformed the vocals from the original track into an abstract wall of sound that drives the remix as a backdrop. It is 100% focused on the club scene, yet avoids the typical 4x4 beat to transcend genres on this amazing journey of breaks and epic chords.

Meet Dan ChiCharron, a new family member of Skalbiankė. This time, we lean towards more intensity with his new EP Mordicus. Dimmed vibes, strong basslines and sharp grooves confidently lead throughout the whole release. Persistency is the key and Dan knows that. The artwork features a classic car resting in a pool, a visual metaphor for Dan’s journey - where the familiar meets the surreal.

Release the handbrake and dive into weird landscapes. Dan will show you the way.

RSF - Loeffelkinder (Benedikt Frey Acid Rain RMX)

Eliezer has more than 20 years of experience behind the decks, in the studio, and as an authority in nightlife in Israel. As an active producer, he’s released on contemporary labels such as Days of Being Wild, Night Noise, Unterman, and Prins Thomas’ imprint Internasjonal under the alias Midnight Dicers and he also runs his own New Day Every Day imprint. Here he works with Isadora, a musician, songwriter and poet known as the lead singer of her eponymously entitled band. The tracks were made in the studio that was inside Eliezer’s club, and he says, “It’s been a long journey as two of them started as a sketch back in 2009 but together with Isadora they got the perfect touch and finish.” Arresting opener ‘Bright Light’ is a dazzling disco cut with shimmering chords and punchy kicks that make you march as Isadora adds fluid, soulful vocals. The excellent ‘Gold E Bella’ started as “a bizarre bass and atmosphere mix, and with the speech from Isadora it became a dance floor bomb.” It’s tense, full of twists and turns and dark disco energy. The heavier ‘Get Down’ has a real sense of menacing energy, with laser like synths, deadpan vocals and punk spirit. Last of all, Dan Wainwright’s X-Rated Remix of ‘Bright Light’ brings howling chords and jittery, dubbed out drums that reverberate with late night kinetics. Once again here Night Noise platform exciting talents with brilliantly inventive sounds.

PREMIERE : Eliezer x Isadora - Gold E Bella

The light surging from the street lamps had slowly began to dwindle day by day, until it fizzed out completely leaving the village in total darkness. This presented an opportunity for chaos and calamity, for people to get away with mischief under the veil of the night sky; an opportunity they'd grab with two hands.

Jonny Rock returns will instalment six of his Disco Hamam VAs, flipping Middle-Eastern and Turkish gems into dance floor cuts. This time he calls on the talents of Japanese producer Hotaru, Radio Campus Besançon resident Red Lebanese and our friends over at Lyon's Hard Fist Records, Cornelius Doctor and Tushen Raï. While Hotaru and Red Lebanese take care of the A-side, the Hard Fist bosses take charge of the flip, twisting an 80s synth-pop jam into a psychedelic disco groover and giving a kitsch Hungarian electro hip-hop cut an acid house touch.

PREMIERE: Cornelius Doctor & Tushen Raï - Fekete [Disco Hamam]

Benedikt Frey is many. Or just one? He is a composer. An arranger. A DJ. A Liveact. A ghost producer. A fan. He also plays in bands like INIT, or Dolphins or KEYS +++ produced the last two albums for Chris Imler. Downbeat in experimental dub zones. The goat for Edits and remixes. When house was his nation, he used to listen to pen names like Suedmilch or Venedikt Reyf. He still likes the music formed under their umbrella, but today his tomorrow is not echoed in yesterday. His sound signature moved on. Into the open. He founded labels like R.i.O. or Serious Trouble. 

He lives in Berlin. Physically. In mind Benedikt Frey is at many places. Traveling far thru his home studio that is a flat a studio a flat an instrument a record collection a flat a studio. Everywhere gear, vinyl, tapes, instruments, rooms for spontaneous sonic notions, these moments, when a sudden strike of stimulation falls. He is inspired a lot. For music to dance. Music for films. Music for live shows. Music for dancing glows. Techno, house, downbeat, ambient, jungle, electronics outside the norms. Those transportive ones. Jamming with others. Jamming with his mind. In Berlin Wedding, North of the town, where the lights dimmed low, neighbors share the flow, and a small river runs slow.  As a DJ he plays here, there, everywhere. Big clubs, small shacks, festivals, gatherings. From fast to 90 BPM - as he feels. 

For himself. For the crowd. In the spur. He still remembers his club kid days. Going to dance with friends. Down there in Offenbach. Doing the Robert Johnson. Collective emotions for a better tomorrow. These he still seeks. In his music. His shows. His collaborations. You can book him for a party. For enlightenment. For ecstasy or introspective perspectives. Dancing slow, whilst pirouetting a high-pitched show. 

Since more than a decade. His own music is out there, too. Bringing his spirits in sound. On his own labels. On international imprints like ESP Institute, Hivern Discs, Craigie Knowes, or Emotional Response. Solo works. Driving ones. Slow drills. Teased during his DJ dates around the planet. 

The music plays day and night. Inspiration comes. From a simple kick drum. A movie sequence. A bird on the sill. A picture, totally still. Can’t kick that feeling when it hits. Benedikt Frey. In dreams. In streams. In music. Emotions. Situations. At night. In those flashy lights, when it bites.
