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! »

Aruna Sairam - Mahishasura Mardhini (Disco Morato edit) #47 - Free download

Artist: @omarjoesoef-1
Release date: June 10th
Vinyl + Digital
Artwork: Léo Marsal

Morning World track is a reading of a Java old story about a mythical creature called Gatot Kaca. Searching old records in his storage room, Omar accidentally found somewhat of a scripture in ancient Javanese. The meaning of it came from his family. The script was released by Kraton, an ancient Javanese royal palace, and was passed down on Omar's mother's side of the family. The story is a simplified folklore called Wayang, a traditional form of puppet theatre play from Java island.

Omar Joesoef - Morning World

Exclusive: Omar Joesoef - Chants Of Gorontalo (Cosmo Vitelli What Was The Question Again Remix)

Hard Fist's next release explores the chants and rituals of one of the world's last tribes living or holding on to ancient occurrences. Therefore Indonasian artist Omar Joesoef digged deep into the archieves of abandoned radio station on Java island to come up with samples of old recordings of the tribe. Unsurprisingly Joesoef names the EP's opening track, Chants of Gorontalo, after an Indonesian province on Sulawesi island, where the Dayak tribes lives and practices the ancient and traditional way of living. Aside from three more orginal tracks, namely Morning World, It's the Heat in the Room and a digital bonus track, Joesoef's Rituals of Gorontalo EP is provided with two remixes. While Jonathan Kusumu reworks It's the Heat in the Room, French hyper-spacey artist Cosmo Vitelli takes on remix duties for Chants of Gorontalo and turns it into a futuristic out of space tune that's implementation of racecar sounds, space-filling soundscapes whirl around and stir up elements from the original. However, it's the pads and synth-sequences in the second part of the eight minute lasting journey that serves as a counterpart to the spiritual didgeridoo-like sounds that accompany the listener from start to the very end.

Omar Joesoef's Rituals of Gorontalo will be released on Hard Fist June 10th, 2021.

Born and raised in Indonesia, Omar Joesoef built this EP with samples of old records of ethnic music that he has found in an abandoned radio station on Java island. Named Lokananta, it is one of the first radios setting up in Indonesia in the 50’s. The recordings in Omar’s EP come from rituals and meditative chants of one of the last tribes still living in the ancient way, completely disconnected from the modern world.

Chants of Gorontalo opening track is named after a province of Indonesia located on the island of Sulawesi. Over there lives the Dayak tribe who still follows its ancient traditional way of life. They practice rituals to communicate with their ancestors using chants and meditation. This first track is about a prayer for harvests, fertility and prosperity. Dayak is a very intimate and enclosed tribe, keeping themselves away from modern society. These recordings of them singing found by Omar in Lokananta radio station are very rare and special. Lokananta is also the first record label of Indonesia, releasing recordings of wayang performances, speeches, Javanese orchestra. It is a great source of inspiration for Joesoef’s work.

Morning World track is a reading of a Java old story about a mythical creature called Gatot Kaca. Searching old records in his storage room, Omar accidentally found somewhat of a scripture in ancient Javanese. The meaning of it came from his family. The script was released by Kraton, an ancient Javanese royal palace, and was passed down on Omar's mother's side of the family. The story is a simplified folklore called Wayang, a traditional form of puppet theatre play from Java island. Omar found a Latin version of the script and asked his friend Sascha Alatas to read it in the way he used to hear it at Wayang plays when he was a kid. To complete the track, Omar made some minor manipulations of the voice and added a few samples of Lokananta records such as bird sounds and environmental soundscape. 

“It’s the Heat in the Room” track conveys a strong and powerful energy with consistent heavy bassline, snappy snare, groovy percussion ensemble and vocal samples of the Dayak tribe. The song emulates the adrenalin rush one might feel in the middle of a night hunt. Some of the sounds chosen reminds of the echoes that may be experienced in a dark cave when a single stone breaks on the floor.

HRDF: Who are you ?
GG: Gael Juárez aka Gael Gael, DJ and producer from the city of Puebla, Mexico.

HRDF: How did you discover this track ?
GG: I have always been passionate about music and, one day while exploring Discogs, I came across this song that seemed quite avant garde for it to be from 83.

HRDF: Why do you choose to edit it ?
GG: Because I like the mix of genres combined within the track which are some musical references that I like like hip hop/electronic music. The melodies mainly seemed fascinating to me so I decided to take the most interesting parts and imagine editing it in my style to give it more dynamics for the dance floor.

HRDF: What are your upcoming plans ?
GG: Working on original music for upcoming releases and keep making edits... I love edits! Stay tuned.

HRDF: Who are you?
D: I am Dacou, a DJ/producer based out of Toronto. 

HRDF: How did you discover this track?
D: I saw a local ad in Toronto for somebody wanting to get rid of some old Arabic cassette tapes, so naturally I was curious. Turns out it was an elderly gentleman who had them, and they had belonged to a lady from Egypt who he was in love with over thirty years ago. Unfortunately things didn’t work out between them and she went back home, leaving their love unfulfilled. He never saw her again and these tapes were all that were left of her, but in his old age he felt it was right to pass them on. This tape was amongst them. 

HRDF: Why do you choose to edit it?
D: After discovering this song and coming to know it was in fact a love song, a declaration of love - I thought it was a fitting ode to the gentleman who had given me the tapes, while serving as modern dance-floor friendly refresher of a great Algerian Raï track. 

HRDF: What are your upcoming plans? 
D: To keep digging for gems and dropping betters!

HRDF: Who are you?
MRN: My name is Gal Goldman aka Mr Right Now, 21 years old producer from Tel Aviv / Paris, started my way as a selector dj in Tel Aviv a few years ago and I’m really inspired by Italo disco , French electronic music and alternative music from the 80s.

HRDF: How did you discover this track?
MRN: I discovered Rupa with a recommendation of my girlfriend maya in a vinyl store in paris, in the moment I listened to her album I decided that my fusion will work well with her tracks so I contacted her and got her permission to put it out as a official release.

HRDF: Why do you choose to edit it?
MRN: I choose to edit this track because Rupa took out only 4 songs out in public and I loved the amazing touch of ethnic Hindi vibe with the disco in her tracks and she did it like no other.

HRDF: What are your upcoming plans?
MRN: My upcoming plans are moving back after a few months from Tel Aviv to Paris and to release an electronic original EP that mixes all of my various music taste in to one.

HRDF: Who are you?
O: a trancepelagic being, a master of ceremonies of the Trance-A-Lento cult

HRDF: How did you discover this track?
O: I was digging’ here in Venice in a very nice vinyl store (Spazio 432Hz) with a super and very large selection of 90’s and early ’00 trance, progressive and techno wax, searching’ for the 45rpm to play at 33rpm to achieve the Trance-A-Lento long lasting effect and this Italian gem comes by my hands, the artwork was epic and when I putted it on the plate I fell into a total state of trance %). Love at first sight

HRDF: Why do you choose to edit it?
O: Because I got it just on vinyl :D so I chose to make an edit playing
something more on and pitching down (a lot) the whole track making it completely different from the artist's initial idea (the original mix I choose to edit is pure trance at 130 or more bpm)

HRDF: What are your upcoming plans?
O: Got 2 releases which I’m very proud of, the first one will be in January on UK’s Trule Rec (Al Wootton's own imprint) and the second one will be in March/April : a 12” on Multi Culti

HRDF: Who are you?
P: Music lover. Dj. Producer. Brazilian. Living in France. Always looking for the sun =)

HRDF: How did you discover this track?
P: I heard it in another song also as a sample. It really got me somehow trapped into it, and it makes me want to do my own version. 

HRDF: Why did you choose to edit it?
P: The song chose me. Kidding...hehe. Well, it has been a while that I wanted to do something special to HardFist, it finally matched perfectly with the vibes I wanted to put in this edit. 

HRDF: What are your upcoming plans?
P: Well. Right now I'm touring between Colombia and Ivory Coast, so kind of living the dream of sharing music with people.  Until the end of the year, I still (fortunately) have some gigs.
I'm releasing a 8 tracks EP with two remixes of two of my fav artists at the end of January  for Cracki Records. 
In February/Mars will be doing some release parties in France. I'm really looking forward to it.

The latest addition of Roam Recordings offers three stunning remixes of Berlin based 80s New Wave inspired band Pardon Moi. Following the success of their singles “Addiction” on Emerald & Doreen Recordings and “Inside the Outside” on Nein (which has been featured on BBC Radio) the Berlin duo Pardon Moi consisting of Thomas Freudenthal and James Brook have penned the evocative “Power to the People” along with “Touch2Much” which have been released in original form on 7” vinyl from Hoga Nord Rekords. In the “Power to the People Remixes” EP, Roam Recordings has gathered together a dream team of top remixers - Damon Jee, Markus Gibb, and Curses - who each put their own spin on the originals. Damon Jee starts it out with an an energetic and anthemic version of Power to the People that’s sure to get people on their feet. Markus Gibb moves Power to the People into slightly darker and heavier territory with exquisite production that has become his trademark. Switching gears, Curses takes on Touch2Much and keeps the 80s vibe alive with a stylish upbeat dub that’s both quirky and fun.

All three of these remixes come together in an action packed trio of tracks that will surely be a go to when looking to get the dance floor movin’.

PREMIERE | Pardon Moi - Power To The People (Damon Jee Remix)[Roam Recordings] 2017

French label Hard Fist returns with a solid various artists release entitled ‘Princes Of Azbu’. The release features five Middle-Eastern flavoured cuts from five producers from five different corners of the globe.  Our pick for the premiere comes from London based producer Timothy Clerkin of Eskimo Twins fame. Clerkin’s track fuses together the dispersant worlds of psychedelic guitar music and dark, eery acid, creating a hypnotising yet totally dancefloor-worthy jam. Check it below!

" One of the basic rules of the universe is that nothing is perfect. Perfection simply doesn't exist. With out imperfection neither you or I would be here..." Stephen Hawking

Field Of Dreams are Chris Kentish & Alan Mackenzie. Both have produced many tracks on their own or with other bands (Field Theory and D:Ream being the obvious ones!) but fate has thrown them together and they can't stop making tunes! They have releases out or due on Pleasure Unit and Clandestino Records. Their remix of Les Crocodiles’, La Nuit Des Tropiques is an ALFOS staple and has met universal approval. There will be more. Lot's more

Over the past year or so Field Of Dreams have been gaining support from many of the heavy hitters on the scene without actually having any music released. Their huge remix of Les Crocodiles', 'La Nuit Des Tropiques' being a case in point. That's now been remedied with their recent releases on Pleasure Unit being quickly followed by this monster. Released on their own label and remixed expertly by one of those heavy hitters, Mr Andrew Weatherall, and the hugely talented Mind Fair, this is set to explode.

The Original Vocal mix tips its hat to that 90's indie, progressive dance championed by the Guvnor back then, featuring a heavy breakbeat, huge bassline, dub pianos and panpipes! Then there's the vocalist, Mr Bradley, who sounds, uncannily, like a certain Mr Lydon which may throw some but works a treat. Strap yourself in and enjoy the ride.  Mind Fair drop the pan pipes and most of the vocals, beef up the kick and concentrate on the opening riff, adding a few more drums. Andrew dubs it out adding 808 drums with Al’s vocal repeating throughout. 

Check out the run out groove.  It says ‘Fuck The Tories’!

NA : I discovered this song when my good friend Gil Abramov (Balagan) sent me a bunch of old israeli punk songs.. The moment I heard these vocals at the chorus I knew it could be a great hook for an edit 🙂
The rawness of these guys (Poplex) is very honest.. you can also see it by the video clip of the song.. I can taste the beer they drank in the 80's just by watching this video.

Velax - Generation Y

A Man Called Adam have announced details of a retrospective ‘mixtape’ album release. 

Love Forgotten floats, and it swings. It drifts like sand dunes and it drops like peak time underground. It’s a constant motion built from three decades worth of experiments in sound and song, a left of centre overview of one band’s career as heard in remixes, oddities, outtakes and edits. The result is a perfect flow of ambient electronics, house music and strung out Balearic mixes shot through with musicianship and sounds from all across the globe. 

Lovingly compiled by A Man Called Adam - Sally Rodgers and Steve Jones - from a vast and deep back catalogue, Love Forgotten takes pieces from every stage of their band’s journey and fuses them into a truly hypnotic whole. Reworks of classic singles sit next to commissions for the British Museum; collaborations with Idjut Boys, Sensory Productions and Ibizan legend José Padilla melt into gorgeous sunset acoustic sounds. It’s the perfect mixtape for the endless summer that’s playing out in your head.

PREMIERE #1289 | A Man Called Adam - Tak Bat (The Vangelis Edit) [Other Records] 2020

Every waking hour was filled with conflicting thoughts; some positive and optimistic, but the vast majority remained dejected, at times sinister even. She'd taken to writing lists of pros and cons, hoping that it would ease her decision making process, but even on paper the evil seemed to outweigh the good. An eternal devil on her shoulder preying on what thread of happiness she had left...

For their first digital V/A in a series of four, Sisters Recordings present a carefully curated five-track release that should be listened to b2b for maximum effect. Bringing together up and coming artists and veterans of the scene, the EP delves deep into dark, electronic textures, moving from the electro touches of винер, Kluentah and Black Eyes to the harsh industrial and EBM rhythms of TV.Out and Lost Soul Enterprises boss R Gamble.

PREMIERE: R Gamble - Work Of The Devil [Sister Recordings]

He swooped aggressively over the village doing his daily inspections, a routine that occurred every day for an hour or so, around half two in the afternoon. Nosediving through the sky, he soared above the village gardens, violently shaking the windows and knocking over all manner of objects with the sheer force of his wings. The sky remained home but down here was his playground.

Following the inaugural release from label boss Sherø, Berlin-based label KlubKid return with their second release; a debut EP from Haute Dance, a project made up of DJ and artist Marina Bibik, DJ Kirill Shapovalov and producer Unfound. Our pick from the self-titled EP is 'Toxic' which blends emotional darkwave and EBM influences with haunting vocals and vintage electro sounds.

PREMIERE: Haute Dance - Toxic [KlubKid 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...
