La Danse #2 is the second digital compilation of a series from international talented producers we support and love. Following our heart and taste for mixed influences and creed, La Danse is a tribute
to the dance floor mixing together organic works in order to bring new energy in clubs. We hope this second volume will bring back our dance floors to life. 

From la Danza de los Voladores during Mesoamerican rituals to the Maenads in Greek mythology, dancing is part of social life from the outset, and will always be.Because dancing frees body and mind - because club culture is essential - this compilation series preaches for an uninhibited and uncontrolled dance. There is only one motto « dance or get lost! »

Stronger

Cosmic Terroir #2 is an album of adventurous, unbridled tones to be enjoyed without moderation with the beer of the same name that goes with it. A drink raised with the sounds of the label, a little soaring, a little acid, like the music.
9 tracks signed by artists from 9 different countries, to stretch out and relax to a slow, psychedelic tempo. Then a beat also comes along, gently driving and exhilarating.

Vilnius based producer Shkema makes weird music for weird people. He spent ages with the analog synthesizers, looking for that right tone color. Then he added guitar sounds and various percussion. His strange and off voice component came last. He stays up late into the night, finding peace in his mind, imagining stories and creating music around it. 


That’s how Room of Men Eaters was born: a collection of absurd short stories and invented words coming straight out of his mind, whose aim is to draw you into the twists and turns of the night.


« Tas Malonumas »
Lithuanian word 
Def: meaning That Pleasure
Exemple: conversation between a young,  inexperienced person and an elderly person who’s near death's door. The old one is telling the young one how life is an unceasing search for pleasure. 
Track: takes the form of a mental stroll that takes you far, far away.


« Room of Men Eaters »
Human expression of cannibalism
Def: absurd situation in which men and women eat each other in a room
Track: the contrast between the absurdity of the situation and the apparent normality of speech told by the vocoded voice of Shkema is just astonishing. 


« Sarka Syrkaza »
From the future
Def: meaning “super sarcasm”
Exemple: one day you wake up in the morning and you feel that something within you has changed. All seems to be nonsense and you start to look at everything through the grey glasses of sarcasm. One might look enjoying oneself, but in reality this is an extremely draining state of mind.
Track: musical expression of that state of mind


« Je n’aime pas les fêtes » 
World expression
Def: parties are boring
Track: Shkema remix of his friend Afrodelic is a wacky version that contrasts French lyrics talking about how disastrous parties feel with a beat that just makes you want to dance.

Tracklist: 

1 - Shkema - Tas Malonumas
2 - Shkema - Room Of Men Eaters
3 - Shkema - Sarka Syrkaza

DC Promo Tracks: Brainwave Research Center "Open Your Mouth" (Nathan Dawidowicz Remix)

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-d-towards-my-mind

London-based experimental vanguard SORN gear up to drop their fifth artefact ‘Rephlex’, a shape-shifting suite of tracks from the Samara-based alchemist d. towärds...For our premiere, we zoom in on ‘my mind’ - a woozy descent into percussive mirage and psychoacoustic trickery. The track opens with slippery, delay-drenched drums that slither like AI serpents in a low-gravity ritual. Hiss-stained textures ripple in the periphery, while submerged low-end pressure keeps things anchored to the earth’s core, or at least somewhere beneath it. As the piece evolves, it mutates into a chrome-dipped hybrid of electro and ancient drone, suggesting the breath of unseen biomechanical fauna roaming deep, moss-cloaked networks. Listening feels like stumbling across a buried satellite still transmitting emotional code, flickering with the echoes of something once human.

d. towärds - my mind [SORN]

Today on Meta Moto Premieres we have Teenage Menopause Records. For this new full-length output, Gil.Barte delivers on Teenage Menopause an 8 tracks LP full of formal strength and psychedelic grandeur. Unlike the vast near-death explorations or trancey adventures he developped on various labels such as Neubau, Big Science Records, Homemade Soundsystem or his own imprint Meth'O'Tapes, the meaningfully-named « Claviceps Purpurea » is a botanist guide to the valleys of the mind.

From the eponym opening to the ending echo, each entry is a glance at magical universal exotica. With an intense emphasis on rhythm, standing quite apart from his former releases, Gil.Barte draws the bouncing steps of a whirlwind dance rooted in western witchcraft.

Raging pieces of club-destroying material (for those who dare) meet sketches of electronic fever-dreams. A full circle that is meant to run on and on, breaking the veil of daylight consciousness.

Produced and mixed: Gil.Barte
Mastering: Tioma Tchoulanov - Le vrai.

Ess O Ess - Cantillate (Chida Remix)

Out June 4th! http://news.lnk.to/operational 

This Soft Machine (aka Tim Sullivan) returns to Eskimo Recordings with a highly charged slice of psychedelictinged modern disco, with remixes from Japanese artist https://soundcloud.com/chida73 and USA born https://soundcloud.com/avalonemerson. Created entirely by Tim and his band using analogue equipment, ‘It’s Operational’ follows on from last year’s double sided release ‘On & On / This Place Was Meant For Me.’

An irresistible fusion of disco, house and and chiming nu Balearic pop ’It’s Operational ’ is sure to place This Soft Machine firmly back within the contemporary dance music scene, with music that “consists solely of sounds recorded by human hands”. His previous release on Eskimo was met with high acclaim, with the accompanying video premiering on FACT magazine and the past year saw him supporting Carl Craig, DARKSIDE, Tim Sweeney, Flight Facilities and Chris Liebing on stage.

Tim met CHIDA after moving to Tokyo in 2009, describing the Japanese pioneer as “a guy with a huge smile and a great music knowledge to match”. He speeds things up with his cut, delivering an impressive, theatrical remix. CHIDA has been repping the Tokyo underground music scene for over twenty years and is founder of the much hyped label Ene.

Creating a darker and unyielding remix, Avalon Emerson was recently described as one of the “new leading ladies in underground dance ”. Avalon originally fed her appetite to DJ in the San Francisco party scene. Now  based in Berlin she has played alongside Erol Alkan and Fort Romeau.



This Soft Machine - It's Operational (CHIDA remix)

Heart Of Glass

Heart Of Glass (Crabtree Remix)

@HardFist takes off on a cosmic trip. An experimental project featuring a group of artists advocating for an immersive and uninhibited approach to dance music.

Label founder, @CorneliusDoctor, introduces the first release to the world 'Myth Of Adulthood'. Which is a 4 track journey combing electronic, african and rave sounds.... blending bass arps, vocal samples and spacey effects taking the listener on a hot and humid trip. Synths are the main source of sound substance though, sometimes straight, sometimes swinging but all squeezed together, in a happy symphony.

We look forward to seeing much more from this exciting & fresh new label.

Release date - June 30th

Myths Of Adulthood

Cornelius Doctor - Sparkling Plasma (feat. Fringe Society) (Official Audio) | LeMellotron.com

It mattered little how old he was as he paced through the busy streets. A 20 something old boy out in the world with the freedom to roam, freedom to travel and a notion for exploration. Running away had never been easy, it had unsettled him despite knowing it was the right decision. Leaving home was never easy, few found it to be so. Now, a million miles away on the other side of the world he would begin his reinvention of self, a new beginning and a new end. 

Cornelius Doctor is set to release an enticing new EP on Hard Fist. A club focussed record with a light hearted sense of self.

PREMIERE: Cornelius Doctor - 20 Something [Hard Fist]

A2 Moddullar - Encrypt

The Lyon imprint "Hard Fist" strikes again with the various artists ‘Princes of Abzu’ EP, feeaturing producers hailing from multiple horizons. Although they may belong to different geographical spaces (London, Moscow, Amman, Tokyo, Paris), the artists gathered in the EP share a common love for middle-eastern sounds and their transcendantal powers, which they mix with electro,cosmic, industrial beats, creating mystical imaginary landscapes, as if bedouins were organising a pagan rave in a Dusseldorf factory.
The opening track "Place du Pont" made by the two label heads Cornelius Doctor and Tushen Rai, is built on a heavy, hypnotic, electro-tinged bass line heightened with vocal samples & oriental Oud sounds giving it a trippy flavor.

GONCALO M & PETE MEK - Base Station - Global Techno Movement Records

Creative offspring of the musical fantasies of @Tushen_Rai and @CorneliusDoctor, Hard Fist brings together a passionate, supportive and activist party scene. Celebrating a globalized - but far from rootless - dancefloor where Turkish psychedelia, Lithuanian cold wave, Central African percussion and Indonesian polyphonic chants blend, Hard Fist crosses time and borders with a singular attachment to the folk music of trance, the kind that marks spiritual gatherings and festive rituals. Shaping the technological meeting of man and machine, the Hard Fist sound brings the experience as much on the dancefloor as in the calm of a Bedouin tent, always off the beaten track, with a free heart and clenched fists.

The label has been releasing collective records with artists such as Bawrut, Balam, A-Tweed, Omri Smadar, Matias Aguayo, Fantastic Twins, Philou Louzolo, Deena Abdelwahed, Curses, Dengue Dengue Dengue, Martin Noise, J.A.K.A.M., Omar Joesoef, MR TC, Pletnev, Anastasia Zems, John Parsey, Errortica, The Juan MacLean, Khidja, Roe Deers, Cosmo Vitelli, Ground, Sascha Funke, Fargo Devianti & Vongold, Daniel Monaco, Fringe Society, Elfenberg, Timothy Clerkin, A-Tweed, Ko Shin Moon, Lokier, Pletnev, nICo, Strapontin, Simple Symmetry, Que Sakamoto, Kubebe, Jonathan Kusum, Kaan Duzarat, Los Ninos Del Parque, Feller, Mekine U Teksi, Bab, Linja, Lion's Drum, Mishell, Ayma, Kincaid, Balam, Juan To Tree, Mytron & Ofofo, Niv Ast, Damon Jee, Thomass Jackson, Rina, Fabio Me Llaman Soltero, Hipless, N.O.Y, Oded Gafni, Radial Gaze, Fabio Fabio, Omar Joesoef, Da Iguana, Neskeh, Warum and all artists that collaborated to our edit series Re-Phrase Collection...
