Dark Temple is the debut vinyl release of AVIVX, a young and talented queer DJ and producer. Born in Kazakhstan, AVIVX moved to Georgia a few years ago and has held several DJ residencies in the clubs of Tbilisi and Batumi.

He attended the Red Bull Music Academy in Tokyo at the age of 21, where his original music was described as distinctly unique, blurring the lines between East and West.His DJ sets oscillate between Chicago house, New Beat, Italo, trance, techno old and new, generating a vortex of playful queer techno euphoria.

After a couple of digital releases, Dark Temple is AVIVX's first release on vinyl. On the 4 tracks, the melancholic Eastern vibes and melodies are woven into a thick energetic house blanket. The sound is irresistible, resulting in a warm and uplifting trance.

Blossom of the Super Nonpareille

Alex Tomb - Blossom of the Super Nonpareille (inc. Polygonia Remix) [CAPP005]

Hailing from Seoul but now firmly based in Amsterdam, Naone delivers a superb EP on Warning, mixing her emotional background with her more contemporary roots, the perfect bridge between both worlds, Asia and Europe, or perhaps between her inner self and the outside world. Starting with Perfectly Harmless, the mysterious track develops into deep feelings that really unfold and expand in Hondon-Ui Kaosu (Chaos of Chaos), where the electro breakbeat responds to a melody with hints of pop consciousness.

On the flip side, the Korean artist unleashes her passion with the deep psy-trance infused enigmatic techno groover Haengjin (Marching), followed by a sensitive downtempo acid closer aptly titled What's Happening. Ultimately, this is about the process of making music, channeling emotions and perceptive energies to create a balanced representation of past emotions and memories.

PREVIEW: Naone - WAR1208

Markus Suckut’s twist on German producer Sawlin's Keine Kunst  is a high-energy techno track designed for peak time on the dance floor. The pulsating beats and rhythmic patterns create an infectious groove that is sure to captivate listeners. Characterized by its driving bass-line, crisp hi-hats, the core of the Suckut remix is the undulating percussion and carefully sampled melodies from the original mix. Also sprinkled throughout are vocal snippets adding an extra layer of dynamism and emotion to the track. The sampled vocals are not just a mere accompaniment; they serve as a rhythmic and melodic instrument, contributing to the overall sonic tapestry.

Markus Suckut’s remix and the rest of the Keine Kunst release will be out on Freund Der Familie, the 27th of November.

PREMIERE: Sawlin - Keine Kunst (Markus Suckut Remix) [Freund Der Familie]

LINK: https://www.dancingvinyl.com/vinyl/arkajo-entwine-signature-remixes/

Arkajo is back on his own label with two originals and two remixes by kindred spirits, Polygonia and Konduku. Starting with the warm Entwine, stepped-out beats laced with swirly stabs. Polygonia’s finishes off the A-side with an organic and atmospheric rework; saturated in deep, trippy, rattling tonally percussive flows. Arkajo’s Signature leads the B-side: broken drum patterns with whispers from the realm between where Sweden and the UK meet. Konduku settles the score with his dark and eerie 4×4 techno take. A diverse record to keep in the bag for both hazy basements and the upcoming summer season.

Premiere: Pablo Diarra - Fluctuation décoloniale

Italian duo Hiver present the Spiritual Machines EP, their debut on Obscura due 9th March.
‘Inverted Scale’ brandishes a hypnotic synth lead that swirls into a formidable energy. Title track is a meditative ambient cut immersed in deep waters, whilst ‘Glass Effect’ exposes a similar form with radiant sonic properties.
On the B side, Orbe turns the title track into a low slung basement workout, whilst Crossing Avenue’s rework of ‘RJ45’ channels psytrance and rave sentiments.
For digital release, two further tracks feature. ‘RJ45’ is a dubby, zoned out roller, followed by ‘Zwicky’, a euphoric trance crescendo on vintage synths.
