Paradiso Analogico (Franz Scala Remix)

DEEWEE040 Is out now.

Justin Strauss and Max Pask have joined up to form a new project called Each Other, with their playful self-titled EP ‘Be Nice To Each Other’.

The EP finds Each Other creating an eclectic range of sounds in the space of just three tracks. The opener ‘Same As It Never Was’ is the most immediate of the set, becoming more hypnotic as the minimalist topline buries itself into your subconscious. The downtempo ‘Burn It Down’ then darkens the mood, feeling closer to a dystopian sci-fi soundtrack than an underground club classic, before the playful and progressive ‘Six Weeks’ up the energy with jittering beats, sparkling synths and a cooly understated vocal.

EACH OTHER 'SAME AS IT NEVER WAS'

'Iguana is the debut release of Dead Husband on Bordello A Parigi. The American group push their unique sound to new levels across this EP. Tracks, like the title piece, pace on skeletal beats with lyrics soaked into melody to create a bliss steeped style touched with melancholy. “Memory” trills with a similarly emotive tone. A lovelorn line marches to a pulsating drum. Machine words speak, melting with tear-stained chords in a contemporary work fitting of the modern romantics. The B-Side adopts a new complexion with “They’ll Be Fine Without You.” Despite the finality of the title, the track courses with an invigorating energy as rhythms race next effervescent notes. Percussive patterns quicken for the close, “Lake.” Sheer crystalline keys scale skyward, dancing and writhing between steady kicks and echoing voice. Synthesizer gems care of this Boston based outfit.'

Born from the new Bogota based club who’ve invited the likes of Call Super, Axel Boman, Kornel Kovacs and more, Kaputt launch a brand new label from the enigmatic streets of Colombia’s capital. Bogota is a place where the underground scene has recently built a new sound of resistance, a sound that sets the local scene alight through unity and community and is now moving on to break down international borders.  
 First up is Alejandro Paz, a Chilean musician and DJ whose music is characterized by vocal displacement and musical selection, full of dark Latin American material. His track 'Bogotá' is a lively dark disco cut with rugged bass and angular rhythms that are finished with some acid melodies. Eddie Mercury then links with Mexican Mijo for the frazzled bass and dystopian bleep-disco cascades of the excellent 'Chundify.' 
 The Nuclear Digital Transistor duo is two DJs from the Bogota scene, Pal and Pizarro, who have released on the Ombra International label run by Curses. Their 'Borrador 9' is cosmic groove with crisp boom bap drums, hits and plenty of stepping arps that reach for the skies. Rodion is from Rome and is regarded as the “new genius of Italian Dance music” after releases on Gomma, Eskimo and City Slang.  He shows why with the chugging dark disco anthem and freaky vocals of 'Processare.' 
 Critical Monday boss Damon Jee has released on the likes of Correspondant Records, Roam and Hafendisco and is well regarded by from the likes of Joris Voorn to Chris Liebing. Here he links with Ravintsara for 'Medea' which is filled with post-punk energy, tense synth progressions and real dance floor darkness. Next up is Kabinett, the darkest side of Colombia’s Nicolás Saavedra, co-founder of Nomada Records and someone who offers up 'Don Kebab' here - a skyward track with big disco arps and twisted bass all gliding along and getting the floor under its spell. Last of all, Alvaro Cabana & Julian Sanza link for ‘Cosmic Standard’ which is moody and haunting, with stark hits and metallic synths that ride over rugged and macho drums.

Here comes the remix package for Lowe Aka User’s Plastik Tanzen EP which came out at the beginning of this summer on Vilnius’ freshly baked label Where Were We? Sadly, stems and original project of “Nepalese Honey” track has burned down together with Lowe Aka User’s hard drive, so remixes are coming only for “Palms Boulevard” and “Tanz Botanik” tracks.
The first three versions of “Palms Boulevard” were made from already well-known and established names in Italo field: Scotsman, always on point Donald Dust, Italian, Amsterdam-based and super-prolific Daniel Monaco and back to France from Hong Kong, proper edits master Romain FX. Guys took rather different approaches for making their versions and all of them put their own spin on the OG. We hope that each and everyone of you will fall in love with one version or the other or maybe with all three of them, just as we did. The last version of “Tanz Botanik” comes from a local hero, Lithuanian talent and also known Italo lover Jonas aka Black Feeling. Although this version is the most housey from the whole package, we think that it compliments the entire pack very nicely. Euphoric italo house at it’s best!

We welcome to the Moustache Records family the oldskool electro legend Martin Matiske with his Electronic disco-ish 12 inch EP release "Robotic Theatre" This is a future vision of a theatre run by robots and is the era in which machines entertain mankind. Operas are written and played in a mechanical way. The pieces of "Robotic Theatre" deal with different terms of stage work. Track A1 is called "Acting Faces" and Refers to the rehearsing of the role, as well as the interaction of the actors on stage. The well-being of the actor does not often match what is played. He has to play even If it's painful. B2 is the track called "Machinery" Human beings are machines that build machines today. The advantage is perfection and time saving. Robots as actors are reliable and precise. B1 listen to the name "Transistor Dances"its Like The Hungarian Dances by Johannes Brahms you just need a dance to express happiness and remind your culture. Dances bring people together. A robotic dance should not be missing in a play. The last track of the EP is the tune "Practise" a story about a robot the has to practise to achieve perfection and it is fun." Don'tplay this underwater order now gone is gone.

PREMIERE - Franz Scala - Sabrina (Feel the Drive)

Following the self-release of the debut EP “Driving”, a five-tracker that perfectly captures the feeling of driving on empty roads, Greek-based electronic duo LaGaSta continue their adventures, making house groovers for the late nights, early mornings and everything in between.

The pair’s mesmerizing new single “Steve” is a tribute to the king of cool Steve McQueen and marks their debut release for the ever-excellent imprint Throne Of Blood. The single comes with a strong remix package including stellar reworks by Zombies In Miami, TOB label co-founders Vito & Druzzi, Marcello Giordani and Lauer.

With the original mix of “Steve”, LAGASTA has created a driving slow-burner replete with hypnotic grooves, atmospheric pads and lush melodies. It’s a nearly eight minutes emotional house escapade. Just get behind the wheel and keep driving.

First up on remix duties is Mexico's Zombies In Miami, who infuse the original with a extra dose of synths, delivering something special that’s perfectly suited for both headphones and the dancefloor. Next up is Vito & Druzzi’s funk-filled groover with a disco feel that rewards repeat listens. Italian maestro Marcello Giordani, best known as one half of Marvin & Guy, works his magic transforming “Steve” into a dark and epic ride that you just don’t want to end. Last but not least, Frankfurt-based producer and Tuff City Kids member Lauer serves up two synth-driven remixes to close out the release.

[BM004] IVAN FRABRA - Tokyo Beat (Original mix)

12 months older, 12 months wiser: Correspondant celebrate the end of a year we'll all be happy to see the back of with their annual V/A opus.

18 tracks deep, featuring old friends (Man Power, DC Salas, Juan Mclean and TERR) and new friends (Captain Mustache, Mala Ika, Franz Scala, INVŌKER) alike, 'Compilation 8' is a sonic silver lining to keep us marching through these strange times. Power-packed with every leftfield shade and flavour we've come to know and love Jennifer Cardini's label for. Dark disco, sexy synthwave, slo-mo cosmic funk and sleazy, dubby techno are all deep in the mix.

Highlights come in all forms and flavours, shapes and sizes from Man Power's moody, hypnotic opener 'Casual Loop' right the way through to Invoker's emotional breakbeat farewell 'Let The World Heal'. Elsewhere Damon Jee and Darlyn Vlys go full trance on 'Sin City', V takes on a cult Lithuanian classic from the mid 90s 'Insect Dance', Julian Stetter and Johannes Klingebiel collaborate for the very first time… And Rodion flips Jarle Brathen and Hard Ton's 'Master In Disguise' into an electro overture.

All this and stacks more; Correspondant have defied the curse of 2020 with musical innovation and premium positive vibrations. Keep on marching.
