Imagine if ZZ Top time travelled to 2090, lysergically dosed themselves and made a tune…it would sound something like this latest offering from Beyond The Struttosphere.

Forthcoming on Mélopée Record’s VA compilation, ‘Pontiac Firebird’ is an amalgamation of Beyond The Struttosphere’s now trademark sounds: a chugging bass, groovy 303, gritty Morodor-style arpeggiator and reverbed guitar riffs that don't mess about. Strap yourselves in for a cosmic roadtrip Beyond The Struttosphere!

Release date: 2nd June 2021

Pachanga Boys, Hippie Dance, TOPAZdeluxe, M.N. Roy and Mayan Warrior are some of the projects Rebolledo is involved in as “Experience Designer” sharing his forward thinking vision. Foremost, he believes in music beyond boundaries, collecting material from all corners of the world and showing how you can tell a story with those apparently unconnected records. His sound is propelled forward by psychedelic beats and rippling synthetic basslines that induce trance like states. Whether it’s his solo or collaborative efforts, Rebolledo has always been a maverick presence in underground dance culture.

Beyond The Struttosphere return to Gouranga in full force, two years following the release of their lauded debut EP, New Frontier. The title track of Astral Riders imagines the two cosmonauts burning through the atmosphere to a soundtrack of chugging metallic guitar stabs, syncopated arpeggiators and celestial 808 hits, coupled with an extraterrestrial vocal sample from the 1969 cult biker film, Easy Rider. The track builds in momentum, before propelling into cloud nine with a fully tranced-out crescendo. Remix duties are provided by two maestros of the scene: Mexican dark wave legend Rigopolar applies his signature formula to the original, stripping it back to its core components, and bolstering it with cosmic synths, driving motorik percussion and a Donna Summer style bassline that ramps up the groove. Israeli house aficionado Juvë delivers a second remix that draws on elements of deep house and comes loaded with distorted FX, ethereal pads and reverberating low-end synths that culminate in a spectacular drop. 

The second offering, Canyon Grit, is as gnarly and raw as its name suggests: this is full throttle dancefloor banger, commanded by a dynamic resonant chug bassline, reinforced with cutting snares, driving hi-hats, reverbed guitar loops, and Hendrix-inspired psychedelic 303 sequences that will leave you gasping for air. The original is backed by a stellar remix from Tiempo De Maldad, another Mexican stalwart, whose take cruises through hyperspace in unfaltering abandon, with kinetic drum workouts and spacey synths that navigate the tune to its tripped-out conclusion. 

The final track, Set Lasers To Stun, comes laden with intoxicating solo guitar recorded live on a vintage Stratocaster, deployed with euphoric Rhodes piano, galactic laser zaps, twanging new wave guitar chords, and the BTS trademark chug bassline. The EP closes with a remix from Rebolledo, head honcho of Burning Man’s Mayan Warrior and one half of the legendary Pachanga Boys. His contribution remodels the track into a dark and hypnotic desert trip, with dusty FX and dreamlike melodic pads that will no doubt teleport dancefloors into the stratosphere. 

Strap in and enjoy the ride!

One of the safest havens on earth for high-quality Retro & Synthwave themes, Astrolead Recordings can’t get enough of publishing ace content. This time, Ilya Santana’s (SXDNS072) imprint welcomes to its interstellar roster Sam Britt. Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, the man of the hour adopted an alias that precisely captures the very core of his sonority: Sam In Space. With an avid ear to absorb and reinterpret the wealthy cosmic-infused sonority of the 1970s and 1980s, his sets and productions aim at delivering zero-gravity experiences to their audiences.

After a couple of creative edits released on XPRESS and Feinstoff, Sam’s first original came out last year on Boots & Legs’ compilation “Family Secrets”. These previous snippets of his work triggered some sort of expectation among the followers of his endeavours who were eager to know how his first EP would sound like – and it failed to disappoint: “Infinity” comes with three well-constructed originals which properly showcase the talents of the rising producer.

Premiered here, the title track comes dressed to impress: “Infinity” is a fat and groovy Disco-pounded cut with a buoyant gait and a space-inspired atmosphere triggered by hearty synth layers and powerful guitar riffs.

Andaluz reputado en la escena sureña de españa, “Fonsi G” es uno de los fundadores de “Amoeba label” el cual dio a conocer a bastantes artistas emergentes en aquella época de los cuales muchos de ellos despuntan hoy en el circuito actual.

Para este ep, nos trae 3 cortes originales con mucha técnica y saber hacer, grandes dinámicas,un sonido muy solido con matices slow y electro,ideal para reventar cualquier tipo de pista de baile selecta, electronica de calidad con matices sureños.

Ahi que reconocer que el hermano “Fonsi G” sabe lo que hace cuando entra en el estudio,cada corte representa matices de lo que puede llegar a desarrollar este gran artista.

Isidisco Ball se presenta como un track completamente meteorico que hara las delicias del clubber mas exigente. Arpegios infinitos alicatados a una base retro futurista hacen este track y esta obra un autetico rompepistas. Entrando a esencial de 2020.

Beyond The Struttopshere is a collaboration between Leo Strutt (Strutt Bros DJs) and Ben Chetwood (Flying Mojito Bros, Damian Lazarus’s Ancient Moons) aimed at channelling their considerable musical production experience and boundless love of cosmic dark disco.

The first track, Replicants, delivers a pounding hambone bassline, bolstered by an unrelenting 303, spacey sitar stabs and a futuristic vocal sample. Celestial Drift, the second, is cosmic disco banger that draws on elements of progressive trance and driving Italo. It comes complete with nuanced percussion, a titillating arpeggiator line and an array of galactic synth melodies. Remix duties are provided by Mexican dark disco wizard, Roliva, and Mélopée stalwart, Camilo Sanjuan. Strap yourselves in for an interstellar ride Beyond The Struttosphere!
