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!

PREMIERE: Beyond The Struttosphere - Set Lasers To Stun

Melopees first, and most crucial ever-released, compilation RETROFUTUR is here!
This one is really special for the owl. It's about retrofuturistic music.
A cosmic and refined mix between modern and retro music.
Sometimes energic, sometimes melodic, sometimes both.

You will meet regular artists again, but it's also the best time for us to highlight a flourishing, talented indie scene, whose music is impressive, surprising, and unifying. 23 music styles and 25 artists perfectly represent the futuristic vision of the owl, where each artist is inspired, with his sensitivity, by Italo, Disco, EBM, Dance, Rave.... to bring a new breath to electronic music finally. Enjoy!

INCOMING : Nicolas Kotowicz - Coastal Nights #MisterT

Release date : 2022-12-02

Buy : https://mistertedits.bandcamp.com/album/musica-per-ballare-para-bailar-vol-1

Just a few months after the release of MTT005 with Desert Island Disco, Mister T. records are pleased to announce their first compilation welcoming recognized and emerging artists from 5 different countries, united by their love of electronic music. The compilation is split in two sides : Musica Per Ballare - the first Volume - built around the love of Italo influences and Musica Para Bailar - the 2nd Volume - made with balearic aesthetics.

On the Adriatic side of the compilation, the label welcomes two producers already known by MTT followers as Sim Fossil was at the center of the 4th release of the label and Nicolas Kotowicz already contributed to the Paradise Edits project. However, the EP opens with Black Feeling “Stomper”, a modern happy Italo anthem with a strong classic bassline boosted by an overpowering synth choir.
The second track of the EP, “Coastal Night”, is a tribute to more sentimental Italo tunes and the first production of Nicolas Kotowicz. The precision and depth of Nicolas’ sounds make this tune an incredible tool for parties and podcasts.
Musica Per Ballare’s last track steps a bit aside from the classic vision of Italo with dirtier samples and Sim Fossil’s special spacy pads. Yet, “Zero Action” brings the compilation to an end on a perfect note with a banger track for clubs mixing Italo’s beauty with house efficiency.

FREE CALL #15 : Debby - Kisses At Midnight (Doctr Edit)

Free download : https://hypeddit.com/doctr/freecall15debbykissesatmidnightdoctredit

Amsterdam based Niels Docter, aka. Doctr, is best known for his releases on labels such as "Bordello A Parigi", "Silhouette Music", and Copenhagen based "Music for Dreams". 
He released his debut album "Good Vibes Only" last summer on "Music For Dreams", which includes the very well received single "Kisses In The Dark". 
This single, which is a collaboration with singer PYN, was also remixed by Tjade and received lots of Dj support during the latest festival season.  

Niels is now back with a special Minitel release and decided to stick with the kisses theme and create an edit of Debby's "Kisses At Midnight". 
The original is a record with lovely percussive parts and very sensual vocals. 
Niels decided to use some of these percussive parts and the chorus, in order to create something new and a bit more energetic. 
Along the way he started jamming to it and created a new lead theme for the middle part of the edit. 

Niels is currently working on new material and has a remix for Auxiliary Tha Masterfader coming up on Silhouette Music.

FREE CALL #15 : Debby - Kisses At Midnight (Doctr Edit)

Joel, Jeremy, Alican, and Antonio are pilots. The four Tegel Boys. The flight is fancy and it’s a foolhardy insistence that a parallel world still exists. First-class dreams, tacky and louche, vinyl seats, sticky cocktails, giddy highs, and lusty stomp. Polymath rock ‘n’ roll electronics that work a little less obviously, but feel a whole lot better. The group came together to bring you there.
The Tegel Boys make modern disco body music, in- flight acid house, airport-blues-boogie, hi-fi dada-rap for those tuned-in psychic travelers. A locomotive and leaden groove onboard, a wink to the frequent flyers, a fountain of sample-delic digger knowledge and circus hijinks spill out on the active runway where the boys navigate it to cruising altitude. 
They are an amalgamation of talent bubbling forth from the Berlin underground channeling parallel lives in NYC-LoftManchester-
Hacienda-Southside-Philly- Berghain-Berlin-Konono-Kinshasa-Acid-Istanbul and every other boogie-scorched molecule of human hip- shake. Obstinate, modern, deeply soulful and playful dance music from the family.

Half Electric ft. Marvin Jam [Original] is a chunky, stomping, elastic, acid-disco, peak time slow burner, a hefty slab of relentless boogie built around a mysterious and unforgettable classic-rock guitar figure, whiplash cowbells, and a hungry 303 line snaking its way into the mix,
a track aimed directly at the hips. Just as this throb is frothing over, things kick into a streamlined, disco pulse, the saxophone honk joins, and vocalist Marvin Jam intones a scorching soul-blues lament, a glorious build off into the horizon. 
On remix duties is Tirana, Albania-based Uj Pa Gaz, a talented live-electronic musician in his own right with releases on Tici-Taci, Heimlich, Esthetique and more, who goes right for the melodic core of the track,
dropping a Chemical Brothers friendly big broken beat over a perfect marriage of blissed-out synth figures and sunrise arpeggio-pulse, a steady chug bringing the sexy sax back in play. A
monstrous build brings Marvin’s vocals back and it's an all-out timeless body-ecstacy bounce.

Following the success of Mexican sensation Iñigo Vontier’s “Dune Dune” EP, which Optimo Music released in early 2021, exactly two years later we are delighted to release a follow up EP by him. "Setsi" has been thoroughly road tested these last few months and comes with an Optimo Music dancefloor guarantee. We asked Iñigo to tell us a little about this release -


"Setsi" is an EP that comes from experimentation with samples and the idea of keeping things simple but memorable. The track "Setsi" starts the EP and is groovy and loopy keeping a mood all through while weird synths and cowbells come in to add flavour to the journey. Next we have "Weirdo" which takes the synths to a next level while still keeping the groove smooth. "Mental Letal" keeps those weird synths going and makes for a mental progressive anthem for the dancefloor. To finish, the EP we have "Oh Yeah" with a funky deep bass, hypnotic synths and vocals that recall Yello in a way.

Out on Optimo Music Digital Danceforce on January 20th 2023.

OMDD 47 - Iñigo Vontier - Setsi EP

It’s been a few weeks since the release of RSS Disco’s “Mooncake”. An album that weaves the fibers of wave, disco & cosmic music into a dense, glowing pattern of sound.

Alongside the album, we’ve heard a bouquet of hand-picked remixes by Prins Thomas, Johanna Knutsson, Johannes Klingebiel and more.
As the year closes, RSS Disco prepare for the final slice of cake. This one’s extra tasty again!

Irusu (12" Club Mix) takes the spacey/wavey original song and propels it into dimension 12. A place where lifeforms of all configurations compete in a strobe-heavy dance off.

Sharing the dessert-spoon is label companion and friend Rigopolar (Duro, Nein, Oráculo Records). Known for his driving and mind-bending productions, his remix offers a hypnotic experience, made for the big (or even huge?) dancefloors with pulsing drums and teasing synthlines.

PREMIERE : RSS Disco - Irusu (Rigopolar Remix)

Ma Spaventi is a wonderfully versatile artist. Over his decade-long career, the Italian musician has turned his capable hand to everything from ambient to techno. Once again, he is expanding his sound palette and challenging expectations with Vicino Lontano.

Across eight tracks, an array of ideas and influences are explored with additional guitar work coming care of Odeon’s Michele Righini. The reflective hues of “Solitario” give way to the warming strings and peaceful brightness of “Crepuscolo.” Written and produced in Amsterdam between 2017 and 2019, beautiful memories of the past are the source of inspiration. Radiating Summer sunshine bathes “Bring Me Back” in a comforting glow, while “Velvet Lights” teases rhythm sections with thick bass lines and shimmering synth work. Moments of introspection arrive in the elegant gliding forms of “Bomber” and “Intermezzo.” The rumbling “End Line” finds harmony amongst a spread of styles, cascading chords and rich textures, all combining beautifully. A moon rise closes, the grand curtain falls on “Bidderosa”,  calling time of this stunning collection.
